[B Sox]

Bill Simmons mentioned that Marcus Smart trade like 3 months ago

america is a red country

Thank gooodness it’s actually not by a thread

 

[VARNELL HILL]

If it’s who I think it’s another athletic dude who can’t shoot. They’ve been talking about him for weeks now

You legit be lost in here

 

[blastercombo]

Yeah, I don’t follow who will be drafted at #27 or whatever. You got me

 

[datznasty]

I'm sure Presti will find him an athletic, long armed, sub 25% from 3pt shooting can't dribble *** wing though. And bonus point if he's biracial

 

[antidope]

Meanwhile the Spurs are yammering on about Fiesta jerseys still....

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Holy **** this dude could have gotten offed. Pics from KPJr car crash.

Thunder took all the photos off the arena. Everyone is available. I should have checked on that Adams mural a few blocks down the road too

The hate for DRose here was unbearable.
Nowadays everyone wants to be more civil and refrain from calling players bums and whatnot, but during that era where Derricks body was breaking down, man. Clowns in here were insufferable....some say they still are to this day.

I still remember Bulls fans jumping ship when DRose got traded

The thread was like the warrior's movie. Cats were legit trying to tell me Westbrook was better than Rose. Even the naive Wizard fans were throwing Piru wall into the mix.

Glad that Smart trade fell through

Dubs would've finally had their younger Shaun Livingston replacement

He had a gun, punched a woman and almost died in a car wreck in the same week?

He’s gotta get some help

Keep reading Presti wants to trade up to take Poku. Now I have never heard of him before a week ago and formed this very strong opinion of him based on a 3 minute YT video I semi watched, but he's going to be a bust. Soft, antiathletic, low motor. Well Fran Fraschilla even says do not touch so there's that as well.

Give me some time and I'm taking the NBA by storm. I'm only 18, I also grew almost two inches. Appreciate all the love!

And it’s only going to get better now that we have all these innovative personal trainers getting guys to do dribbling drills while getting paint balls shot at them and make lay-ups right after doing a full break dancing backspin.

idk his name but that one trainer in Dallas or somewhere in Texas he seems lame af

Would've been a good look for them having him in the squad but yea he's l not worth the 2nd overall pick

They could def get more future assets but Smart would help them instantly

 

[lawdog1]

Atlanta really going all in to be the 5th seed in the East and a first round exit. Good for them.

 

[tomdiginson]

Would've been a good look for them having him in the squad but yea he's definitely not worth the 2nd overall pick

So the trade was smart of the number 2 straight up?

That's what the rumor claimed



He'd be a great look for any contender if they were actually shopping him

seems too obvious that the warriors should be calling the thunder for adams, rubio, oubre and late picks

Would imagine more than a few teams are gonna be blowing up Presti's line tonight but yea GS could probably offer up some of the most enticing packages right now

With what going back in return. That's hella salary.

It's interesting that the Hawks are trying to make these moves. Gallinari would be a good fit. signing with a team like the Hawks flies in the face of his statements about prioritizing winning but money talks.

I would be very concerned about paying Rondo big money if I were Atlanta. This is an incredible case of recency bias where people are focusing on Rondo's playoff run as opposed to the last three or four years of his career. Rondo was legitimately bad during the last couple of regular seasons and paying him $8-$10m per year thinking you're getting playoff rondo all the time is a bad move. Rondo has a tendency to mentally check out if his team isn't playing in meaningful games.

Rondo was in the perfect situation with the Lakers because they didn't need him to win regular season games and they didn't need him to play heavy minutes. Asking Rondo to be your starting point guard is an iffy move.
