at this point I'm honestly rooting for KD to stay with golden state and run it back to the finals again
You'll get your wish, I don't think he was ever leaving.

I don't know what you're getting at. They did wait, and it's not going to have cost them anything to do so. Noone knows what the Celtics are offering or might offer, but obviously the Pels have some interest.
This Kyrie thing is quite troubling for the Cs. We're in kind of uncharted territory right now in terms of influence between agents/the player side and the teams. I'm honestly not sure how to feel about it.
It wasn't just Golden State though. KD's own doctors suggested that he could play.love how golden state keeps saying "we are shocked, thought it would just be a calf injury". the achilles is frickin the center piece of the calf muscle! they knew what they were risking.
I should dig up all those people insisting that NO should balk at the Lakers in season trade proposal because Boston would assuredly have the better offer this offseason
why don't you wait until the trade happens before taking a victory lap...Wasn't Magic's offer Ingram, Lonzo, Kuzma, Zubac, 2 first rounds, and taking on Solomon's contract?

I think it's also important to note that medical science is always coming up with new treatments, surgeries, and rehabilitation schemes - players not coming back from these injuries in the past is not necessarily indicative of how players will be coming back from the injury in the present or future
Lmao
It's really not
25 wins, MAX"You could do worse"
*Lists roster of the worst team in the league*
The big difference between the deadline deal and what is rumored now is that Kuzma, Hart, Zubac (oh Lakers), a future first, and taking on Solomon Hill's contract (i.e. functionally equivalent to another future 1st) is now seemingly off the table, even though I suspect the Lakers will ultimately capitulate on Kuzma maybe in exchange for some minor draft pick compensation. It just depends on whether you believe that the Lakers ending up in the lottery and jumping to 4 amortizes all the extra stuff that isn't there now. I also strongly suspect that the Celtics are being used purely as leverage at this point since everything else has dried up (the lack of concrete details about what the Celtics are actually offering seems like a pretty clear tell).
It's his hometown team
They're not the Knicks
Yes
No
Kyrie grew up in Jersey and spent most of his childhood there and in Boston
Kuzma's value to the Lakers is that he's the cheapest of the 3, Lakers are still going to need assets, they can't trade the whole team away so it makes sense to try to keep one of themKuzma is kind of trash and if either side is putting value on him they are idiots who don't know what they are doing. He plays no defense and is a good scorer but not good enough to be the first or second option. Basically the perfect guy to put up numbers on bad teams. I don't think you can win with him on the floor unless he really improves as a shooter.
You might be right and the Lakers might be stupid enough to overpay for AD.Kuzma's value to the Lakers is that he's the cheapest of the 3, Lakers are still going to need assets, they can't trade the whole team away so it makes sense to try to keep one of them
Ask for the Pelicans I think they're bluffing in seeing value in Kuzma, they're to try to get as much as they can get

I give credit to the Pelicans. They are playing this the right way. But they shouldn't push it too far. They are not getting more than whatever the Lakers are going to offer.
Yeah, he grew up in Jersey as a Nets fan. That's his hometown team. I'm from Jersey originally and there wasn't some huge turnover in the fanbase composition, such as it is, when they moved across the river. Like, Dubs fans aren't gonna stop being Dubs fans next year when they move to SF and that's a much bigger jump than going from the Meadowlands to Brooklyn.Kyrie grew up in Jersey and spent most of his childhood there and in Boston
Tatum has gone from a future superstar to trade bait for AD in one season?I'm catching up on the Lowe Post and they are talking about if the Celtics should still trade for AD, with the reasoning being the following team is still really good: AD, Hayward, Smart, Brown, Horford and Rozier.
I like Zach and his pod a lot, but it's hard to sit through a hypothetical conversation about what the Celtics would look like if the basis is them trading Tatum, picks and no other players for AD as if that gets it done or is even possible. Like, best case scenario they give up Tatum + Smart and picks, and maybe a bit player or two. Even then I don't think the deal gets done. But if you are going to have that conversation you gotta go with a realistic scenario my dudes.
Ah my bad my bad I got it, I thought you were saying he grew up in BrooklynYeah, he grew up in Jersey as a Nets fan. That's his hometown team.

... when they move to SF and that's a much bigger jump than going from the Meadowlands to Brooklyn.
The Meadowlands is like a 5-10 minute drive from NYC. The distinction between New York teams and East Rutherford teams has always been pretty nominal (see: the New York Giants and New York Jets).

Really just depends on the traffic. You can do it in 30 minutes or so outside of rush hour.Ah my bad my bad I got it, I thought you were saying he grew up in Brooklyn
I guess Brooklyn's only like what, an hour away from where the Nets were in jersey
They're roughly similar geographical distances but Oakland and SF are still distinct towns culturally. Northern NJ where the Meadowlands is is just greater NYC except it's kind of a charmless shithole.The new arena is like 10 miles across the bay bridge. And a negligible amount of additional travel time if you're taking Bart.
If Kyrie actually leaves he's exposing himself to a whole lot of risk. One postseason with Boston, one! And you're bailing from one of the best run organizations in the NBA into who knows what.
Imagine if they replace Pierce with Wade. Also, if they put Wilbon on I'm turning my tv off whenever the analysts are on.
bye
to all of them.
next season they'll somehow make it worse tho won't they....?
Last night the Blues finally broke through, tonight it's the Raptors turn. Just gotta not shoot like shit from both 3pt and the FT line like last game.
