Nerlens Noel would be a top priority if I was Danny Ainge

 

[Moheezy]

IT and AD would make a nice pair. Come to think of it, IT in Milwaukee will be real nice.

Nerlens Noel would be a top priority if I was Danny Ainge

If Noel was top priority, he would have done something last summer or at the trade deadline. He let that one slip.

 

[ballinsam23]

Gonna have to offer Noel a max if you want him now.

 

[MVP]

thats a very whip-ish post

you alright bruh

Don't doubt me again.

nah famo he aint leaving dallas

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Agreed

Cuban swings and misses on every free agent he ain't about to let one go

Agreed

Cuban swings and misses on every free agent he ain't about to let one go

He's locking himself in with nerlens
No cell phones, no tablets/iPads at all

 

[B Sox]

The whole point of Dallas trading for Nerlens was so they could have him going forward. They knew that they'd have to max him.

Not really upset about the Celts not going for him.

Nerlens would clug the paint for IT

Y'all need a rim protector/rebounder as much as you need a wing imo

Cuban screwed Dirk once he delivered the chip. That 2011 team was something special

 

[stillin729]

I've watched almost every game Nerlens played, good luck maxing him

AD

Anthony Davis for Bradley, Brown, Zeller, 2017 #1, 2018 Nets 1st round

Honestly if true, I'd take that deal in a heartbeat if I were the Pelicans. They'd probably lose Cousins in the process but as is they're still a while away from contending anyway. It's a start.

Fultz
Bradley
Brown
Porter Jr (next year)
Cousins (while you have him, maybe if you're winning he stays)

Both teams would benefit in the trade imo



Would love to see Bradley as a Spurs though if he leaves Boston...

CP3, Bradley, Kawhi vs. Curry, Klay, KD

I like Nerlens a lot, but someone is going to offer him a max this summer, and you'd be required to match. Or else you're just giving up assets for nothing.

If Zizic can provide 15-20 minutes of high energy and rebounding next year, I'll be a happy man. I just don't love the thought of giving a big like Noel $20M+ per year.

Ainge passed on Alphabet n Draymond at the draft

I don't trust him when he drafts bigs

Everybody passed on them though

Scouts have been universally high on Zizic though over the past year since the draft. Don't think he'll be a star or anything like that, but could definitely turn out to be a solid starting center in a few years. Think Jusuf Nurkic.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I was watching zizic highlights the other day. He's an interesting player. Rebounder/finisher with no real offense/defense and slightly weak/undersized/unathletic

 

[ballinsam23]

Big men will always get paid.

 

[nick.]

Told by exec scouting Ntilikina his wingspan is 7'1". Would make him 10 inches longer than Dennis Smith, 7 longer than Fox.

He's a high energy 7 footer who wants to rebound so regardless I'm excited to see at the next level

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Exactly what Boston needs, hopefully he pans out

 

[B Sox]

This is pretty fair, although I wouldn't call him weak/undersized. He's 7ft 250. Bigger than all of the bigs in this draft. He doesn't shoot a ton of jumpers, but he doesn't look uncomfortable when he does it. He shoots like 75% from the FT line, so he could potentially become a nice pick and pop guy.

Exactly

Holmes > Noel

And I said that when Noel was still on our team too. He's a solid player but dudes in here with their "he's a potential future perennial DPOY candidate" are still caught up in his hype coming out of high school/college.
