Brehs I was busy all weekend and didn't see this shit till now, but did Kyrie foreal call in to a radio show posing as someone else to big up himself and bitch about Boston fans?
:lol
Simmons is so full of it sometimes. Looney is elevated 8000% by playing with 5 hall of famers.
Brogdon is that classic good player that someone is going to overpay for. He's fine if you are just trying to make the playoffs, but a little overpaid for a role player if you have higher ambitions.
Part of his reasoning (which I'm listening to now) is sabotaging the Bucks. It still doesn't get them anywhere, though. Ideally Brogdon somehow gets to Houston so he can do commercials with Harden (and freeze out CP3)
It's completely up in the air from the Sports Hub tapes, but yeah, I can see it. He's just bitter Celts fans called him out for being a @#$^#$&.
So the Celtics would tie up their cap space on a guy who the Bucks will probably ultimately resign, and this would be sabotaging the Bucks?
What he said was if the Celtics structured the contract in a way to make the Bucks balk.
WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME DEFEND HIM?
Actually I don't care, it just happens that I'm listening to their draft podcast and they're talking about it. Now they're talking about Billups and his terrible draft comparisons.
We are about 3 days away from a "is the John Wall contract really that bad?" take from Simmons to Russilo.
I would be happier if he was a lock to score 18+ a game in the playoffs.
Not sure he is that good. If he is that's a great deal for the Bucks. If he is a guy who comes and gos in big games then you are SOL.
Definitely. Him and Conley are going to pair very well together and if he can improve his 3pt shooting slightlly and get a couple more calls he'll hit that mark easily.
Extremely fair price. I'd certainly put him above players making similar amounts of per year like Tyler Johnson, Kent Bazemore, and Allen Crabbe and right at or below players like Aaron Gordon, Zach Lavine, Jeff Teague, and George Hill. Anywhere from $18-21M is a fair get for any team.

Well he has to get to the next level for the Jazz to be serious contenders.
Conley should at least allow his efficiency to go up quite a bit.
His next step is scoring two more points a game or is it not taking 20 shots to do it? He scored 21 on 22 shots in the playoffs last year 0_o
Kind of hard to play well when your blanketed on every possession and the floor is not spread out from all the non-shooters on the court with you.
Melo ready to join the Laker Nation of Domination
L.A.Melo otw.
Anunoby is a 6'8 combo forward. I doubt all three of Kawhi/Anunoby/Siakam ever start together regularly, unless they have a reason to go small and put one of them at C.
I also have doubts about a guy FVV's size as a full time starter. He gets beat up a lot.
Surprisingly accurate, except Los Angeles should be Disney World West.
2-time NBA champion Chris Boucher baby! He just needs to add another 7,356 lbs.
I think Lowry is the most likely PG starter in 2020/21. Figure he and the Raps will work something out to keep him around until retirement.
I'm ok with that if he takes a huge pay cut. Like 9 million a year.
I wouldn't be surprised to see something like 3/45, depending on how he plays next year and the Kawhi stuff. Masai is ruthless when he has to be, but feels like after shipping off DDR he'll want to keep the last of the original post-Rudy-Gay Raps squad around for the feelgood factor.
Summer after next will be interesting for the Raps, books will be super clean and it's a chance to take advantage of what I assume is a tiny cap hit for Siakam before his (presumably) max contract kicks in.

We don't pay washed up players All-Star money. We ain't the Knicks. He can walk if he wants more than that at 34 years old.
Raps fans not giving Lowry an ounce of respect post-chip is one of the weirdest things about the off-season thread so far
Kyle Lowry didn't go 26 and 10 in game 6 of the finals for y'all to pay him dust like this
We don't pay players for showing up offensively 3 out of 24 playoff games.
(I'm ok with paying him around $15m tops if it's a 1-2 year deal)
Raps fans becoming a meme before our very eyes
LOL
"I'm ok with giving Lowry that Lonzo Ball money"
LOL
1 year ago today: are the Toronto Raptors the most disappointing franchise in sports today?
1 year from now: which of the big name free agents are gonna sign with the legendary franchise the Toronto Raptors?

Canada has to win something once in awhile, let's let them have their feel good moment now...

ok maybe let's get the asterisk talk going again to get raps fans to come back to earth with some of these takes
I wonder if the rise of the elite scoring PG (Lillard, Harden, Steph) has subconsciously biased how people view the position. Teams definitely need tough-shot creators, and it matters that your PG is or isn't one, but old-Lowry and old-CP3 are still putting up an efficient 15/8 with plus passing, defense, and shooting gravity. I don't know if there would be the same "but why isn't he doing MORE?" frustration with Lowry if he were a wing or big, or in the era where PGs didn't average 30 ppg.
Masai didn't run that team.
Good god that Turkoglu signing haha. Man this franchise sank low before hitting this high.
Btw, I'm trolling. Although I do think Lowry is overpaid for what he gives, he does deserve more than Lonzo Ball money. I'm shocked people outside of Toronto love him. He gets trashed in this market a lot.
I don't think the Bucks would balk at the 4/84mil $ offer sheet he was proposing. The really can't afford to regress with the Giannis super max decision looming next summer.
Ainge wouldn't use all that cap space on Brogdon or Looney anyway. He would rather just use it to pick up assets and young players.
Simmons can spend like half an hour on these tangents talking himself into those insane moves not even a 2K GM would do.
I have a feeling Boston isn't getting any big, worthwhile, free agents and that 30 mil in cap space is going to be used to over pay aging vets that want 1 last big contract before retiring... it's a joke.
Well, he even said it was just him talking as a fan, not as someone with insider information or anything, so yeah, despite his media presence he's basically throwing crap up against the wall like most of us with low BBIQ in here.
