The Jazz aren't competing with IT/Horford/Hayward, they are competing with Butler/Horford/Hayward and whatever they are able to retain from the Butler trade plus whatever they get from the IT trade.

Best case for the Jazz is Bulls refuse to trade Butler and Pacers ask too much for George

They'll have to pull some of that off before they sit down with Hayward. That's a lot of uncertainty.

IT is sitting out the rest of the game with a stiff hip. Trying to protect his trade value?

 

[fishonjazz]

If I were Celtics I'd still keep IT ... but trade Fultz, Crowder and a pick for Butler.


Isaiah Thomas
Hayward
Jimmy Butler


Butler can and will guard LeBron. IT can score. Hayward can be the glue. That team can make the Finals.

I don't think anyone can really guard lebron

 

[enchilada_style]

I dont think Lebron could guard Lebron

Well but Butler could have made it hard for them. There is a reason why Chicago was 3-1 against Cleveland this year.

Probably had a lot to do with it being the regular season

That reason is that Lebron didn't give a rat's *** about the regular season.

Lebron will finish outside the top 3 in MVP voting. Lol.

Why is that lol? There were 3 dudes who had better regular seasons, carrying less talented teams to better records while putting up better stats. (Besides Westbrook, but he just up monster stats). I dont think someone should get put into the MVP race automatically just based on their name.

They need to invoke a mercy rule. If a teams behind by 50 after three quarters they should not play the fourth lol.

Good news for the celtics: they can't do any worse than tonight's performance

Ainge to Hayward: "So Gordon, you know we have a solid rookie coming in this next season. He'll be 20 next year. And you know we're shopping Isaiah..."

How about based on how valuable they are to their team?

Is anyone in the nba more valuable than lebron?

To their team? Like the expected win total of their team's with and without them? Yes, I think Kawhi, Westbrook, and Harden were all more valuable this year. Lebron's team went 23-23 over the last 46 games of the season.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

**** me, the lead is up to 50 pts.

Ainge to Hayward: "So Gordon, you know we have a solid rookie coming in this next season. He'll be 20 next year. And you know we're shopping Isaiah... And we are going to get Jimmy Butler. We will be the 3rd best team in the NBA and a major attraction to free agents who are ring chasing. We are also a huge market and we can make you a lot more money outside of your NBA contract. Lebron is going to fall off before that super-team in Oakland does too."
