Yes, drive down the price that other teams are willing to pay.

Do you want to give up a Tatum or Fox or someone like that if you know there's a good chance that it's for a 1 year rental?

If you know he'll re-sign with you, you absolutely offer whatever it takes (which is why the Lakers a basically offering everybody and a bunch of picks).

But if you think he's likely to be a 1 year rental, why give up guys like that?

you dont if you think its going to be a 1 year rental- but i dont think ainge thinks it would be a 1 year rental and is ready to call the guys bluff.

I dont think Davis would walk away from playing with Kyrie, and a very good supporting cast and a ton of extra money to up root himself for a 3rd time in 3 years to go play with a 36 year old LeBron.

but thats just me. We shall see what happens.

I can agree that Klay can't create his own shot. If he ever did work on that though he'd be a monster on offense.

I don't watch him as much as you do. But I'm not convinced that he can't create his own shot. He's just never had to.

Next time you do watch the Dubs pay close attention to the lineup when KD & Steph go out. Klay is always left in with that 2nd unit and my gawd....struggling to score is putting it nicely lol. That is why GS is looking at Wesley if he is bought out. That 2nd unit seriously needs help. A true PG that could spell Steph and execute for Klay would be ideal.

He called a spade a spade. You mocked it at the time, but you seem to share his sentiments now a days. Funny how that works.

Can't say I've seen him ridicule Lebron's skills as a player. I happen to think the guy's a dick, but still think he's in consideration for the GOAT.

He may very well be. If he does and it works, that'll be great for the Celtics. But if he doesn't. You gave up an awful lot for a 1 year rental.

Having said that, if there's a team that can afford to do that, it's probably the Celtics. Especially if Ainge can get the Pels to take more picks than players.

Personally, I wouldn't take that gamble. But then, I won't even gamble vcash, soooo... lol

Klay >>>>>>> Simmons

There ya go lol

I don't think it's nuts.....combine the 2 of them and you'd have one hell of a player, though, that's for sure.

I have to agree. If what Rich Paul said is true, and he wants to play for a team that will compete for championships I think he stays in Bos if that's where he's traded.

 

[dtgold88]

what? i think its a good idea to mock LeBron James in a playoff series?

thats news to me. lol

Yeah I didn't see you saying that. He's a dick, but I have said I'd never bet against him in the playoffs.

I'll pay more attention to that.

Assuming you're right, I have the solution...

Trade KD to the Lakers for Lonzo.

 

[dtgold88]

During the 2015 championship run??? 4th behind whom?

Curry, Green and Iggy (the MVP).

My God...If Simmons could shoot anywhere close to the way Klay can, he'd be unstoppable.

Fair point, but have you seen him dribble? Not pretty sometimes.

 

[trojanfan12]

How can you tell?

Dude has games where he's scored 30+ points and taken like 4 dribbles the entire game. lol

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I don't think it's splitting hairs because at some point it's probably a decision the Dubs will be faced with (between Klay & Dray).

So who guys taking?

This is also for non Warrior fans

It's atrocious! I think the only thing he does worse is throw lobs...SMH

 

[dtgold88]

Just because you repeat your previous babble does not make it true or right. Maybe you should watch games like the players do in film time so you can grasp even the simple concepts. My goodness you are dense.

LAD to English (again) - "ya got me again dt with clear, concise logic to refute my point, but you know I cannot man(or woman) up and say so."

If KD stays they have to keep Klay. I think if KD leaves then that opens the door to keep them both honestly.

If this is what you take away from that then there's nothing else I can do to make it any more clear. and I don't know what LAD to English even means

 

[dtgold88]

I am LOLing because I think you're funny. You don't know what LOL means?

I do, but me making you look foolish would not usually be followed by an LOL by you....but you are an enigma, so who knows what I should expect.

You might be the Kyrie of Sports Forums.

But you'll try and I cannot wait. Instead of saying, "yeah, he was the #2 on a Finals team so clearly I was wrong in butting in" you go with "but he was #3 when he was acquired."

Clearly you are an enigma.
