YoloinOhio Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Jimmy Buckets rules, don't want to see this.it will be either him or Paul George. I think they are worried about PG being only a one- year rental due to his public interest in going to LA. But you could say they had the same situation with Kevin Love, and they convinced him to sign long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Oh noooo @windhorstESPN Dan Gilbert didn't consult with LeBron James prior to parting with David Griffin, sources said. James had advocated for Griffin extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 How do you C's fans see this team going forward. I go back to the Hondo Era and they are #2 for me after the Raptors, but it's a team of competent general players without much greatness outside of Thomas (who might be hobbled a bit). WIth all due respect for one with a Bird-shrine still at the home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIth all due respect for one with a Bird-shrine still at the home. I'm only old enough to remember a hobbled big 3, then the end of Larry Legend. Onto Reggie Lewis, Dino Radja, and all those teams. Then finally some real juice with Walker and Pierce. The team has a bunch of mediocre scrappy players who compete well. That's an easy 50 wins in the east but it's not a winning combination. If I were GM? That's always a fun game. I'm keeping Brown no exceptions. I'm not maxing out IT, I fear they will now that they passed on Fultz. I'd take Fox @3 and let the ping pong balls bounce again next year. The Hayward signing seems to be inevitable, that is meh to me. His size is redundant even though a better shooter than the Celts currently have at that spot. It's a spot where they can trade assets to get better immediately but still not as good as GS. Or they can draft and go young and possibly get worse in the short term of that means not inking IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 commonsense: The team has a bunch of mediocre scrappy players who compete well me: That's an unfriendly way of viewing the roster. I like watching them, they come to play almost every night and someone comes through most nights (of about 9 of them.) The Bucks are another Eastern team that I enjoy, The Freak is a luxury to watch, the Bucks come to play most nights. The Raptors are "entitled" to slack off when they feel like it, which makes it unwatchable for 1/3 of the season in-town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 what are you hearing regarding Jason Tatum now... starting to pick up some steam at 3 More mentions of the kid from FSU than Tatum. Some folks hinting at Fox now alluding to Ainge possibly not wanting to max IT. Some talk they made trade down again if Ball is there at 3. I hope something actually happens this year.

Do you have any preferences? i mostly watch Big 10 Bball so I don't have a strong opinion about the players themselves but I did do some research on Fultz when I thought they were drafting first. I did see Josh Jackson play several times and think he is very good. I don't care about Lonzo's dad really when it comes to whether to draft him. I think he is going to focus on his younger sons after lonzo is drafted. If Ainge thinks he's best available then take him. Ultimately if they take a PG I'll worry about the future of IT and he's my favorite player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
