Kyrie to Boston rumors heating up. Deal nearly complete

[CitySushi]

Hmmmmmm, not so sure...........KD was clearly and so far away the best player in the Finals, Id have a hard time believing that series doesnt go 7 without him

And I acknowledge that Draymond is crazy important

It would definitely be a challenge and an accomplishment if the Warriors could do it, but the possibility is there.

The Warriors roster is still pretty talented top to bottom. One of their stars could potentially go down and of course there would be a dip, but production could be replaced elsewhere.

What I was mostly saying is what Draymond does for this team is so unique and so important that the Warriors cannot win if he goes down or does not play. His defense allows the team to go small. His passing allows the stars to be more efficient and play off the ball for the best look. His rebounding, his additional scoring, his mental toughness are all what the Warriors need to win. If one of Steph, KD or Klay goes down, it doesn't really change the dynamic of what the Warriors do. However if Draymond is out, the Warriors are a completely different team.

Watch: Celtics fans bid farewell to Isaiah Thomas by burning his jersey

Trash. IT played through a death in the family.

What the hell is going on. It's not like IT asked for the trade. Just a bunch of morons.

Calling Kyrie a stud is probably overrating him a little. He's good, but he's not a top 15 player, maybe not even a top 20 player. Celics gave up a lot to get a 1 dimensional player, who himself has a history of injuries.

Thomas himself is a one-dimensional player with a history of injuries.

Kyrie is betting than Thomas in that one dimension. And he's younger, more proven and under longer control.

Based on previous conversations today, this post clearly will also make you a troll.

How dare you say those things about the immortal Kyrie.

Still waiting for all those trades that Danny lost.

I gave you the article. You don't wanna read it. That's your problem.

What article?

Now, here's to a 20 win Lakers team, and BKN making the fucking playoffs!! Woot!

might as well wish for a 10 figure bank account while you're at it...

 

[Black Adam]

Also,

shut the fuck up!

too late. he's having a "good day" today...

 

[Black Adam]

The East is complete shit. BKN could be better than expected relatively speaking. The Cavs should flip the hell out of that pick, try to beat GS now(even though they wont) and kiss Lebron's ass goodbye.

^^^real talk^^^...

with LeClown's "window" closing he's only gonna get another shot or 2 to knock off the Dubs...

 

[Black Adam]

I hate Durants guts, but he has just put them on a level that cant be reached by anyone else right now

Like you said, an injury/stupid Draymond Green like suspension, is always possible

guess some can hope for that...

I will give you that he's younger, but the last couple of years, I wouldn't say Kyrie is more proven. Sure he's been able to prove it more in the playoffs because he's had Lebron, but all that will change this season.

 

[WiggyRuss]

This is what happens when you flounder every season as a 4 or 5 seed, if you never bottom out, you never go into sell mode cause somehow the front office gets convinced by the fools gold that "we have a shot"

kind of like the Heat?

 

[WiggyRuss]

OT, but I'm not looking forward to facing Kluber tonight.

Yah.....Pomerantz hasnt been exactly the model of health lately either.

Tribe needs to win this one tonight--- id love if they could pass Boston and get homefield against them.

kind of ridiculous though the injuries

Salazar on the DL- again
Tomling on the DL
Kluber missed a month earlier in the season
Kipnis has been on the DL and is now hurting again
Santana left the game with a bad back a couple games ago
Miller just went on the DL AGAIN
Chiz is still on the DL

Tribe needs to get healthy

I really have a hard time seeing how the Celtics are better this year than last because of this trade.

Heck the Celtics basically swapped out their entire team except for Horford and some bench players. So it's hard to know how they will be as a team at all. Is Horford, Kyrie, Hayward definitely better than IT, Bradley, Johnson, Crowder? I guess.

Hard to see them beating the Cavs still.

I could maybe see if it was Klay--- but if Curry or Durant or Draymond were not avaliable and the Cavs were healthy id take the Cavs.

[WiggyRuss]

Might be harder to get to the finals minus KD or Steph, not so much Klay.

totally agree.

Draymond is important too just because if he was hurt their PF and C positions would be thinner than Bosh's blood

(too soon?)
