Most improved and rookie of the year on the same team I like it

You sound like the type of person that idolizes Westbrook to the point that they have a full set of Westbrook pajamas.

That's funny stuff right there. Only idol I ever had was my dad. I speak the truth, guess I just expect more out of people than I should.

Well that's terrific.

Bucks have a solid team if they can maturate together and ownership keeps the team in tact.

Westbrook has always struck me as the kinda guy who really wants to win.

But, by his hands only.

I'd gladly take him on the Lakers....

Melo's camp is trying to get the Knicks to engage in buyout talks.

No he's not.

He wants to stay.

Eta: You are right, I'm wrong.

He wants his money and to pick his team.

Dude would go to the 76ers?

Better take Washington if he can.

Time to start taking this seriously?

Sources: Celtics working to land both Gordon Hayward and Paul George

Yep.

Just saw it.

I forgive you....

It's from Wojo.....

Sounds like they have a deal, unless someone sneaks in before July 1.

I'm surprised George is on board......which seems implied?

If this happens, I owe @knowyourenemy an apology.



For salary-cap purposes, Boston wants a Hayward commitment before it can finalize a trade for George and secure the most dynamic free-agent coup in franchise history, league sources said.

For Boston, here’s the hitch: While Indiana believes Boston can offer the best possible package, the Pacers may be unwilling to wait until the start of July free agency on Boston’s timetable and could turn toward making a deal elsewhere for George, league sources told The Vertical.

I forgive you....

I put a ETA: on my post before you responded.

Didn't delete it because I'm okay with being wrong...lol

You were right, Sunshine.

A stacked Celtics team might actually help the Cavs give a fuck during the regular season, which would be a welcome change.

A lot of what happened in the Finals was the Warriors just being the better team. But some of what happened - imo - was the Cavs overly relying on flipping a switch.

It'll be interesting to see what Ainge does. If he fucks this up & can't land anyone it's time to kick his ass outta Boston. If I remember correctly of the last 11 or so draft picks by Danny only 2 have worked out. Basically he's done little good for the Celtics since the KG & Allen deals.

Is it stacked though? 6 minimum or 2nd round guys?

I mean, let's not even bring up the Warriors.

Is this enough to beat Cleveland?I

They should deal Horford.

He's a high priced hoarder.

Gotta put up or shut up.

Man, they better be on the horn to Tony Allen, Z Bo, Speights, Bass, Felton...or anyone that would consider the minimum.
