The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League | USA vs Germany at 3 ET on Fox

They’ll definitely have to go find another big somewhere for the bench.

I like this. Front court depth is thin, but Timelord is never a guarantee to play.

Time to unleash

 

[Coupé It]

Cronin really cooked….

Damn

 

[RustyShackleford]

Pritchard still a Celtic is hilarious. Thought for sure he’d be part of it.

They couldn't do that to aepps20

They see the vision...

What opposing defenses gonna see coming at them....

 

[ill steelo]

I liked Boston having 3 centers given Al’s age & the injury history of KP & Rob. Easier to spread the load around.

But Jrue is Jrue Perfect fit on every single roster in the league.

Tough off-season for Pat Riley

 

[lynchpin33]

They had to get Jrue in Boston. Smart was masquerading as a point guard after Kyrie didn’t workout. And they were talking that nonsense of turnover Tatum and no lefthand Brown being the primary ball handlers this year.

 

[picasso swerve]

Jrues PR team on point. Man went from solid defender to first ballot HOFr in a week.

Im saying, Jrue is solid but dudes really making him seem something he is not. Maybe pity points for getting traded for Dame?

 

[B Sox]

Time to unleash

I mean tbh he’s proven to be pretty serviceable at least in the regular season over the last few years as a 3rd string center.

Trade pretty much locks them into the White/Holiday/Brown/Tatum/Zingus starting lineup which should be best in league defensively and probably top 3 offense.

 

[pmatic]

Is it a situation where if Jrue DOES NOT plan to retire in 2025 then he definitely opts out next summer to secure his final multi-year bag rather than take the $40MM for 2024-2025?

AKA what Jim should have done this offseason

Jrue said he was going to retire after his current contract ends. But I think he had the interview with the Milwaukee newspaper the day before the traded where he said he wanted to play more. Not sure if that was coincidence or he got wind that he might be traded.

 

[B Sox]

Need to go grab my boy Stix out of Indy real quick

 

[Blue Mamba]

Portland can reroute Rob too tbh. Don’t see why they’d need both him and Dominayton.

Why would Rob get rerouted? He fits the blazers timeline and him plus Ayton is a great frontcourt

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Gsw '24 and Bos '29 both unprotected? If so that's wild

 

[B Sox]

Why would Rob get rerouted? He fits the blazers timeline and him plus Ayton is a great frontcourt

Can’t play them together. Rob should probably be starting for someone or coming off bench for contender.

 

[pmatic]

Ayton averages 30 MPG for his career. Might be best to keep Time Lord in that 15-18 MPG range to preserve his body and value.

 

[Blue Mamba]

 

[B Sox]

Golden St should trade one of those wings for Rob.

 

[HOU$TON]

I want the rockets to try and get Brogdon

 

[amitt5504]

 

[Blue Mamba]

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Portland should try to be competitive since they have some great picks from other teams. Move brogdon now but hold on to Rob until the deadline or just keep him. More teams will have tradeable pieces after December anyway

 

[big j 33]

Honestly, I think the blazers might go down with one of the better trades for a disgruntled superstar. That and OKC trading for SGA

 

[NickFolarin]

Embiid a troll that really be crying inside

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yea that gsw pick gonna be lottery. They're right in that sweet spot of not good enough for playoffs/not bad enough to tank

 

[elpablo21]

Portland might be intriguing to watch

 

[lawdog1]

Should have just gone ahead and @‘d Morey.

 

[allergic2broke]

Celtics traded the time lord wow. Thought he was untouchable lol
