Kyrie to Boston rumors heating up. Deal nearly complete

[The Q]

Minny's big mistake was Teague/Gibson over Lowry/Patterson IMO.

That would've put them in really good shape.

 

[WiggyRuss]

All that typing to compound your mistake.
Too fucking funny.

my mistake? lol....read the post....you are the one that misquoted it. And "material" is a much more precise word than "significant" is for that situation. Why i used it.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Or Ball.

Ball's profile is of a typical #1 pick, Fultz is more 1-2.

But they were the clear top 2 in this draft, and danny got a non-premium asset out of a premium asset.

I think I agree with that.

I really think Fox could end up being the best player in this draft though. I would have taken Fultz and Ball 1 and 2 still---- but i would have taken Fox 3.

I just think he has that "it" factor in addition to great athleticism. I think hes the best Kings pick in years.

I actually think Irving fits them WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better and is a way better player than Wiggins.

Wiggins was supposed to play defense but thus far he has shown little interest in it.

Butler was a great get for them. Towns/Irving/Butler would be a big 3 that could win something a couple years from now when all those guys are in their primes together.

I dunno about Wiggins. I would almost be afraid to give up on him- i mean the kid is only freaking 22 years old. HE seems to be missing that edge. Say what you will about Kyrie- he plays with an edge.

 

[WiggyRuss]

With a little lottery luck they could get themselves the next Anthony Bennett.

I was thinking of LeBron or Irving

hopefully not the next DeAngelo Russell or Ingram either to be honest.

Except, Lowry wanted more than Minny woud have offered.

 

[The Q]

There are always ways to make cap room.

And Patterson went for the MLE so he was always able to fit in.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I 100% agree with you

if there is any material chance Thomas needs surgery- run for the hills

if they want to throw in a significant sweetener- fine

but you dont need to be trading for guys on 1 year contracts that need significant surgery. lol.

What's your definition of significant?
I 'heard' on NBA radio that the Celts might include their own round 1 pick.

OK.
I'll play.
You said " significant sweetener"
I asked for definition of significant, as in sweetener, then mentioned what I heard Celts might add.
Then, you mistakingly hought I meant significant surgery vs significant sweetener and have compounded your error ever since.

 

[Great Dayne]

Cavs attempting to play Danny like a fiddle by pretending they didn't know Thomas' hip wasn't ok. Everyone knew that. So now they want to squeeze more players/picks out of them. Danny should say suck and come back with now we want more picks/players because we didn't know Kyrie's knee was injured. Say if you don't give us compensation in 2 days we take the entire deal away.

BOOM bitches

Every Boston TV sports show has discussed this mess until viewers are ready to puke. NBA Radio picked this up from Early Edition last Friday night. They were discussing what Boston "might" do to get the deal finished.

Word now is that Danny has been talking with the Pelicans about Anthony Davis again. Word is that he's may be offering the same package PLUS the LA pick AND the 2019 Memphis pick.

Don't know if it's a fact or a rumor to get Cleveland to decide what the hell they want to do.

Another rumor I heard last night was that Kyrie said he will not report to Cleveland if he doesn't get traded. I didn't hear if that was to Boston or just traded..

Yea, I saw this too. I'm pretty sure he just wants to be traded, to Boston or elsewhere.

I'd rather just get Cousins. Keep some picks. Otherwise, you're still one player away.

[Rock Strongo]

any updates? all i see is a deadline set.

this is becoming hot news here:

NBA reporter 'wouldn't be surprised' if Cavs planned this drama from start

 

[The Q]

Is he willing to sign an extension?

I mean Brow is one I'd be ok with. But if we're talking ideal scenarios.

Does a core of Brow/GH/Big Al (btw, we need to get Hayward a cool nickname) really give you a shot against GS?

People will come to Boston to play with AD. Dont know about an extension, but if you can get him in town, get him. Work it out later.

I don't want Cousins anywhere near us.

I think Cousins gets a bad rap, but yeah, I'll live with Brow.

Davis is under contract for 4 years right? Fuck yes I get him.

I'll marinate on a Hayward nickname, that's tricky.

G-ward? God that's awful.

 

[Blotch]

Ainge isn't giving anything extra. If Cleveland is dumb enough to back out of the trade then he will let them.

They're not getting Davis, so what does it matter?
