K, but why would the Celtics give all THOSE assets up...

Tatum, Kyrie and picks could work. Celtics have replacements for both in house in Rozier and Brown/Hayward. That would require Kyrie to want to go to an AD-less NO team, which would be a HUGE stretch. Without the possibility of an extension, Kyrie doesn't have a lot of trade value.

Even less likely to give up a young stud like Tatum for old man LeBron... but I get your point.

There are a very few players in the NBA that are untouchable... right or wrong... Tatum is safely in that bubble.

I could theoretically see Boston packaging together just about whoever else, though... and whatever picks it would take...

... I doubt both sides would agree to a deal on this front, though... so all this is academic.

Foolish if they actually have a chance to get AD. Wings are much more replaceable than elite modern centers.

Kind of like how the Warriors FO saw Klay when Minny was trying to get him in a package for Love. lol

Pretty hilatious the lakers and spurs are listed but not the thunder. Thunder won that game far Roy easily thecither night if they weren’t without 2 starters
1 reg season win doesn't prove much my friend. But how do you spin their first round exit last year to Utah?? Who by the way beat ya'll with their rookie PG as the general. :dhd:

I’m not spinning anything just saying the Thunder will have a better record than several teams on that list. In truth the list should have been a lot shorter.

I was curious since you implied they only lost against the Dubs the other night because they were down two starters. I'm pretty sure they had their starters against Utah last year in the first round of the playoffs and well...

For AD it would be worth it but I can understand why they want to keep Tatum. They wouldn't miss Kyrie or the picks.

They are not going to win it this year. The were a CP3 away from losing it last year and the West is a whole lot better.

They were also up 3-1 coming off a blowout win against Houston before Andre Iguodala got hurt. But I guess everyone likes to forget that.

You could make some decent coin betting the field

Should Boston have the June 2019 duckboat parade through southie or just drive out and back on Storrow Drive?

It's funny how people like to mention injuries as the reason Hou lost but never want to mention the injuries for the Dubs. Too funny.

Now, Hou has totally screwed up their team. I am predicting they won't seed better than 4-5.

You OKC fans have salty grapes STILL. It's been 3 seasons (including this season), get over it. Your team chose Russ to be it's leader, now it's time to live with that choice. :lol:

The Rockets, Celtics and Raptors are the only teams with the depth as of now to have a chance.

Injuries will happen as well so anything can happen
The Rockets have really taken a step back with the addition(subtraction) of Anthony and letting a lot of their defensive minded, long-armed wing men, who give the Warriors trouble, get away.

The King is gone and the throne in the East is vacant. Will Philly, Boston or Toronto step up to claim their stake? Meanwhile, in the West, the defending champs are hungrier than ever to three-peat and to cement themselves as the best team ever assembled.

Can anyone DETHRONE the Golden State Warriors?



no mavericks? this thread sucks.

Dallas >>> Lakers

I’m just talking about the game I saw the other night that was a 2 pt game late. Pretty sure Westbrook can overcome that at a pretty good clip.

June must be Boston's PRIDE Month.

The gays do love their parades.
