Getting Nurkic feels like an insight in to the coming days and weeks. Be it Collins or Kessler.

This feels a bit like the Enes Kanter trade. Gobert got his minutes and the Jazz got better. Addition by subtraction. I dont think Sexton was a Hardy type player.

Sexton played with passion and a drive to win. He was an impressive offensive threat who scored pretty efficiently. For those reasons he was a very easy watch. Sexton regularly didnt run an offense. His competitive drive was not necessarily contagious. ISO basketball is about my least...

Why do you want to burst my bubbles numberica? I blow one and you pop it. Sad face emoji every time. Lol. I do see us as a natural trade partner for the Celtics given relationships and expiring contracts and their desire to reduce payroll but what's in it for us?

He could still grow a bit. But he is long and tall and athletic and that's enough for me. What is far more important is if he can shed the influencers in his corner and can get his head screwed on straight. At times I wonder if his head is about 7000' tall which doesn't help block shots or...

Yeah, i doubt it, but if they want expiring contracts for nothing... it ain't happening. Who in this market is going to drop $8 - $9 million extra in salary to get Anfernee Simons without getting an asset in return. And we are talking about HUGE money. $80 million is a lot of Cavier and...

This deal saves the Celtics a ridiculous bag. It is probably around $80 million. I would in intrigued by their first and Sexton / Anfernee are similar players. Swap springer with Juzang or Svi and it still works but it doesn't save the same bag. I could be talked in to giving them a pick...

I gotta see WCJ play but for me it is: Collier Ace Lauri Hendricks Kessler That is until we trade Lauri for 5 x 1st round picks to the Kings and 2 swaps in a deal everyone is scratching their heads about for a while.

I think a vet point guard unlocks Lauri and for that reason gets us 15 wins above a non-tank effort. My hope is that we DONT get a vet point almost at all costs. Let them do their darndest to win without a vet leader getting a better than expected result like Mike Conley delivered last time.

Well, he got 3 likes for flashing his lifestyle sweater and fancy watch while listening to the good the bad and the fugly.

That was yesterday. Givony was today. Am I right?

You cant re-enter the draft... can you? That would be insane. We have his rights according to the league. I guess he could go to the CBA.

Huh. Not sure Givony is even saying here... The Jazz are working a trade? Or Ace is trying to submarine the pick? Or what? If we can milk the Wizards for Tre + the unprotected rights to swap 2026 picks and I would be tempted to let them have him. Otherwise, I am jazzed to have Ace on the...

That's that not the point. They grabbed 4 pass first guys who need the ball in their hands to be effective. The question is which of those guys will have the ball? And who is going to actually shoot the ball efficiently when they all pass it around to each other?

I think what he is saying is Trey Burke was the leader for a college team that went to the championship game just like WCJ. They are different players but they both led their collegiate teams to the championship game and both rose up the draft boards as a result of it.

Speaking of which, the Nets draft was HILARIOUS! It reminded me of the Minny draft when they picked Ricky Rubio (5th), Jonny Flynn (6th), skipping over some kid named Steph AND then going for Ty Lawson with the 18th. 3 point guards in a row. Egor Demin (Can't shoot, can pass) Nolan Traore...

Key, WCJ, IT, Pritchard... The Ainge's have a type. They don't necessarily value passing like the Nets do, do they.

I am always fascinated by the players drafted around a specific talent and how it all translates. Trey Lyles was picked right after Myles Turner. Klay Thompson being picked right before Alec Burks, the Morris twins, and Kawhi. The WCJ pick will be easy to compare with Jakacunius and Jace...
