they are fun to watch. Kyrie is playing surprisingly motivated with this Celtics team for some reason, almost won that game by himself. 

what will be really interesting is seeing this King's team next year. will they continue this good season and build on it? with no 1st round pick i'm intrigued what their off-season plan is

 
man, pacers have a brutal stretch coming up here:

@DEN, @POR, @LAC, @GS, DEN,@OKC, @BOS

Lose those first 6, then beat Boston, please.

Sixers have only 2 games against real playoff teams through end of March (@MIL, BOS). The rest are low East playoff teams, outside looking in West teams, and the ATL.

Celts similar overall schedule quality to Sixers.

We play the Buckos twice though. Also the Nets. Yea not as daunting as playing the west a bunch but we've already went down that road.

Like Heinsohn said, more or less, last nite it's time to let Hield become their Harden. Stoopit bastage who traded Boogie for him mighta been right.

Sure, Bucks again in April.  Just saying that I am hoping that by the end of March the Sixers will be in a strong position for the 3 seed coming down the final 2 weeks.

 
Buss wanted to trade Lebron apparently according to Butcher. Buss and Company were apparently Sick of Lebron and his agent handling the AD thing and Lebron's agent Rich Paul who represents Lebron saying AD wants a trade and will only sign with LA and all other teams would be a rental. Apparently Buss and company aren't too happy with Lebron's micromanagement of the team but he's nicknamed LeGM for a reason. This is why despite him being a great player I wouldn't want him on my team. Yeah you might win a title but is it worth 1 title and then everything goes to #### right after or would you rather have a team like GS who has the chance to win a title yearly maybe miss it 1 or 2 yrs but win the other times? 

Buss LAL wanted to trade Lebron because of Agent Paul

I'd take Lebron and a ring, followed by disaster, over constant disaster.

So the only two options in your world are to get Lebron or have a golden state like dynasty?

I meant build a team up like Golden state or have a few yrs of GM leBron where you bend over and do what he says to keep him happy and then when he's tired of your organization when his contract is over he leaves you in a ####ty position.

Draft the 2 best shooters of all time in the second half of the top 10.

Make the best 2nd round pick of all time

grab the 2nd best player in the league as a FA

thats how I would like my team to be built.

Just draft well period. I was watching a video John Clark posted on Facebook of Zhaire Smith and one person commented how his shot looked terrible and how the Sixers don't now how to drat well. Ben and Joel don't count as they were obvious picks. I basically agree with the guy. How the hell do are you not able to draft well and was always my argument why the Sixers didn't need to totally go tank mode. Still have some of the same scouts from the last era and whoever scouts wise told the Sixers to draft Fultz should've been fired. 

Yeah I'd rather just try to draft better then steal a title by putting LeGm in charge who when he leaves will leave my team up ####s creek without a paddle. If Rich Paul was anyone else agent more people in the media would be saying what Lebron and Paul did with the whole AD thing was total bush league. The only reason he went back to Cleveland to begin with was Wade and Bosh were done. If they were still in their prime Lebron stays in Miami. What Paul and him Pulled prior to the deadline is total bush league and the nBA should charge LA for tampering and lose their 1st round pick. And yeah if I was Buss I'd be pissed off too. This is my team and no one not even lebron should be telling me what to do. we already listened to some of your decisions already that have been total ####. 

 
this is a bit rough, but interesting to think where Orlando could be (of course a lot of teams can say that with hindsight):

Alex Kennedy✔@AlexKennedyNBA

ORL traded 23-year-old Tobias Harris for Brandon Jennings, Ersan Ilyasova (who played a combined 47 games for ORL).

ORL traded 24-year-old Victor Oladipo, 20-year-old Domantas Sabonis, Ilyasova for Serge Ibaka (who was unhappy in ORL and dealt for Terrence Ross after 56 games).

So they traded away two promising players for Ilyasova both times?

Nuggets are close -

#1 some good shooters but not Klay/Steph - still some work to do - but they are not too bad here.

#2 - We have the new sheriff in town for best second round pick of all time - The Joker

#3 - Just sign Durant in offseason

Well they got isiah Thomas so that’s pretty much the same thing.

 
I agree that the nuggets team building has been very good.

trading the 11th pick for 16 and 19 and turning that into harris and nurkic was definitely impressive (even though they didn’t really get huge value out of nurkic themselves.)

murray and jokic excellent picks (obvi)

I agree that the sixers drafted poorly if you eliminate all of their good picks.

lol was just going to say something similar.  Djax, your obsession with going out of your way to bash any and all things sixers is as bad as modoggs to the Celtics.  At least modoggs is done mostly in jest.  We know you hate the sixers, but this is getting sad.  Joel was not an obvious pick at all and lots blasted them for taking such a risk.  Ben also had a lot of people saying he was overrated and 'why draft a player at #1 who can't even lead his team to the tournament" (the same argument people like yourself have made for fultz).  Hate the hindsight stuff... I'm sure at least 75% of nba gms would have taken fultz top 3... fire them all!!!

If you didn’t get this take from a John Clark Facebook post then I am not interested.
