oh, please
Why would Chicago do that deal? Boston would gladly give them the #3 pick and any two players on their roster not named Thomas or Crowder.Bull Dozier said:
the big issue would be that when kg runs his mouth and pushes someone from behind would the young guys even know they are supposed to get in front of kg so that he can hide and shout hold me back bro it would be interesting to see how long it takes him to train them take that to the bank
Was thinking the same thing...unless they deal Wiggins the C's should be able to beat any offer Minny can come up with if Butler is their target...
i guess that depends on what kind of locker room guy Rubio is. I'm not hearing a lot of draft guys getting super excited about Dunn so I'm not sold that they should be going in that direction in the first place. I agree Rubio's an asset.
Yeah MN seems like they are one star away from being good so it makes sense that people will shoehorn somebody to them but these Butler rumors seem way off.
I would hope Denver says no to that. Getting rid of Pek, and getting Gallinari for the 5th pick would be a steal
Thats actually a pretty even deal. Pekovic's value is virtually nil. Dieng is a nice backup but not much more than that. So Lavine & #5 + depth + cap fodder seems about right for one of the better two way players in the league.
You can keep Pek. Is Butler at $17M a pretty good deal? Scratching my head why you'd tighten the purse strings on this when you are going to have to spend that money anyway for lesser talent.
Dieng is eligible for his qualifying offer in 2 years, LaVine in 3. The money they'll get offered is going to seem absurd by pre-Cap Bump standards.
So in terms of building a contender, unless you are trying to win in that short window and are up against the cap, they are basically deteriorating assets.
Denver should only do that if they are scared about Gallinari's health. Knowing that, MN should run away from that offer. It's not a great draft but they should be able to get a nice, cost controlled talent at #5.
I think we should let Abe give us 5 trades that should happen and see if he can beat Ford.
That is my thought, especially when I heard Ben Simmons refused to work out for the Sixers. But it turns out Simmons won't work out for anybody, so it's not as personal as first reported.
This is crazy talk. When's the last time you went to a game? The crowd was lit at the beginning of game 5 especially venomous against Lebron. They got down in the 2nd half when Lebron and Kyrie we nuts making crazy contested shots. Couple that with all the open looks the Warriors missed, that would deflate any crowd.
I kinda felt like Game 5 was the signature game of the series we'd been waiting for. First half was amazing, both teams firing on all cylinders offensively, best basketball of the playoffs along with some of the OKC- GSW series. Home team was playing to win the title in front of their home fans, with a loss meaning a greater than 50% chance they'd have to get it done in a Game 7. Green's absence added a little extra spice. I know the final margin wasn't close, but that really surprised me. With <7 minutes left in the 4th it was a six point game and I told my wife I thought the Warriors would win.
