Maybe he doesn’t want to be in Dallas.
That is what I thought. Good block numbers, but not really a good defender outside the paint.
My point was he isn't taking the QO this off-season. The realistic worst case is Dallas is offering a 5 year deal and he doesn't want to sign so he goes and gets a 3 year deal from somebody else and they match this off-season.
if I was a Celtics' fan this is what i would say. What it means is the Sixers played a very good game last night, and showed they can hang with the top of the NBA. What it says is i would bet the Sixers wouldn't get completely swept by the Warriors in the championship.
been saying this all year. not sure why everybody just assumed he was going there. Also see a ton of AD stating no way he stays with Boston long term.
Most national sportswriters either are or have been based in NY and they are so harsh on this because history teaches them that Knickerbocker KD/Kyrie-type dreams have always ended in Butler/Boogie realities.
true, but they have been playing some scrub teams. I just think some parts of the fanbase saw the playoffs last year and think that is the floor for this team. Unfortunately i don't think that is the case. Will be an interesting next few months.
well the absolute robbery of Billy King has a ton to do with that. Ainge has done well, but will you not be dissapointed if you have just a mediocre team that is around a 4/5 seed fir the next 4-5 years? If the Knicks can maxmimize the free agents, and Oladipo can recover well from his off-season surgery, Boston may legit be 6-8 seed in the East for years to come.
i'm thinking the money he signs for, and for how long the contract will be. If they give him a max contract it will be a little bit
with his past history and trying to figure out how well he fits with the team. I have heard rumblings of a Jimmy Butler for Jrue Holiday trade and some others which could be interesting.
Jimmy will sign somewhere for the max. That's my hot take for today.i'm thinking the money he signs for, and for how long the contract will be. If they give him a max contract it will be a little bit
he might, depends on what he wants with his career. Brown manages his minutes well and treats him a hell of a lot better then Tibs for longevity of his career. He has said he wanted to retire by age 35 or something in the past, so if that is the case you may be right and he may leave for a total max. But i am sure the Sixers and him are discussing now to figure out what makes sense for both.
Kyrie will change his mind about what to do dozens of more times between now and July 1 and he wont be happy with where he goes about 9-15 months after he goes. The only thing you can predict about Kyrie is he will be grumpy no matter what he chooses.
could have got either or a bag of peanuts. Noel is doing well defensively in OKC like he has done all year. And Okafor is doing quite well in New Orleans at this time. you don't think you could have got either for a 2nd round pick or something? Certainly neither are going to be superstars in the league at this point, but you don't think either could have helped when the biggest hole in the Celtics has been center position for sometime?
I don't think you "get" Jimmy yet. The idea of not being paid the max will be highly insulting. Also, no GM or coach is going to convince him otherwise.
maybe. thing about is that the Sixers won't necessarily fold if Jimmy doesn't re-sign. either way it will be interesting to see how it plays out. This is the first time in Jimmy's career he isn't the best player on the team or expected to win a ton of games.
Al Horford is the Celtics center. And Baynes is the backup. The center position is not the biggest hole.
isn't Horford better off not guarding most of the centers in the league? i thought i have always heard that.
I'm sure Jimmy thinks he's the best player on the team. We've heard rumors of the dysfunction between the Sixers big three and this shouldn't be surprising. Jimmy feuded with KAT and had his issues with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah on the Bulls. These patterns are repeating over and over. I know you don't believe me but I think you'll realize this sooner or later.
so out of curiosity, you think the Celtics should go afte AD? if so, how much do they give up and what do you think would be too much? killer is that it can't happen until after 7/1, which will cancel out some of the draft capital assets and you have Rozier and Morries as free agents.
This. I have to think Cuban and Carlisle are still pinching themselves today. 6 months ago this franchise was essentially unmoored with zero franchise building blocks. Now they have two absolute anchors who have unique skills and ceilings. This was a masterstroke. I think Porzingis falls in love with the Mavs org and playing with Luka, and the Mavs are extremely relevant for the next 5-8 years.
Agreed. If the Knicks get KD and a max sidekick, this deal worked for both teams. That's a big if though - considering NY's recent struggles in FA.
Maybe it's b/c I'm originally from Curry country, but I don't find him annoying or unlikeable at all. I love everything about him as a player and person. He has the perfect amount of swagger and humility.

sure, but i do agree with the take that this gives the knicks a lot more flexibility and kind of locks the mavs into some kind of a path. if kristaps signs a max deal, and the mavs are out all these picks, it is going to be tricky to build this team. if kristaps leaves, well they have nothing and they are out these picks. if kristaps signs a max deal and gets hurt, then they are really ####ed.
