Not fishing for help at all....just asking a few of the smarter cats in here why they haven't participated before.


How much $ do you have for me from those handjobs you've been giving out?
Idk, but I have a list of 20 non AS 70s players and I put it together while taking a shit.

The point that @tlance mentioned is it's not that much of an upgrade. Especially considering the Celtics would have to give up extra players (taking away depth) to upgrade a position by just a minuscule amount. In fact, it would hurt the offense more considering that IT's more the play maker than Irving is, while Irving is more skilled but more ball dominant. You guys need to quit looking at it on paper and actually think how these players would fit with one another.
Isaiah is plenty ball dominant, granted it had a lot to do with necessity and Boston's offensive ineptitude at times, but he was an iso guy all last year. Being that this is a contract year for Thomas, I don't see him wanting a huge dip in numbers. Plus, I don't want to pay him the max, ever. Plus who knows how that hip actually is, and what it would take to make it worse. Plus, he's older than Kyrie, who's under contract. So, even though it's only a slight upgrade, I still think Boston should do it if they're able. Unless the Nets pick is required, that's just too much.

Point Guard is one of the most important positions in basketball. Cleveland is not going to trade Irving and not get a PG back in return and leave their PG duties to Rose, Calderon, and Felder. You're on crack if you think that.

If they dont get another PG Lebron will be playing it more often

You only post in here? Not the NFL's? Just noticed your comment count is kinda low for somebody on here a lot.

Not really. I don't talk NFL that often. Dolphins are usually stuck in mediocrity, although Gase looks like the real deal as a coach. But I like this board more considering there's a lower quantity of regular posters making the conversations more focused and detailed and phases out the noise.

I would be fine with IT, Crowder and a late 1st. Kyrie is an upgrade, but the real advantage is the extra year under contract and more longevity if/when they did resign Kyrie.

That isn't what is being discussed.

Another good point. IT is gonna get an insane deal from some team that will limit what they can do to add other players.

I like to talk and hear myself talk. I'm in the NBA's, NFL's, NS thread, music thread, Horror thread, and surprise, surprise.......a beer and food thread. And a few others I'm probably forgetting.

I can't find what's definitively being discussed. Only that they contacted the Cavs.
