The Official NBA Thread: Mavs v Celtics in the NBA Finals | elpablo21 is Taking Receipts

[finallyfamous]

Super low expectations as is. When you’re a kid in this spotlight since 14 and had a parabolic trajectory and rollercoaster of a ride prior to the NBA, Cleveland is perfect.

Yeah I mean I think he will do better as opposed to a lottery team with no direction.

Think the core of the young guys will help him develop and if he causes a ruckus or just doesn’t pan out you drop his *** and it is what it is.

Being in Cleveland might be a good spot for Emoni.

Not many distractions

You seen the white women out there?

 

[BennyIll22]

Who's to say Dame won't be open to a different situation if they wait a couple weeks? He's been all over the place for a while. Let it marinate.

Is Summer League always on ESPN or is this a Wemby debut/showcase thing? 3 games on tonight starting in a few hours

It’s all pink to me

 

[noskey]

I want a Gobert-type return. If that dumbass can command 4 firsts then I want 5 for Dame. Idc how.

A couple on NBA TV as well.

 

[HOU$TON]

I am curious as to why they haven’t signed Jaylen Brown supermax yet

 

[lawdog1]

That doesn't sound like somebody who was in love with the game in the first place

The first time he's met with adversity, he's going to probably say the same thing.

IDK. I’m willing to cut him some slack. People were talking about him like he was a sure NBA star when he was in his early teens and he didn’t deliver on that. Had to take some kind of a toll on him mentally. I’d probably lose a little love for hoop under those circumstances too.

I mean I hope he has his head right and everything for sure. That's most important.

That being said, he is very unlikely to do anything. He has very few NBA level skills and low feel/awareness for the game.

This would only work only if Houston is giving up on the youth movement and going all-in on win-now. Not sure why Portland would want Malcolm Brogdons contract either

 

[stopcappin]

not just white , trust me .

As the terrible Dom Kennedy once said
“I **** with Ohio, It's ladies in Cleveland”

 

[noskey]

Is Houston that low on Jabari already that his name is being srsly floated in this deal?

 

[ballinsam23]

Herro, Caleb, a pick swap, and an unprotected pick

Portland trying to include Nurkic is wasting everyone’s time.

 

[amitt5504]

Cavs fan talking about Embiid getting traded like Don not about to force his way out lol

Comedy

Windy reporting that an extension will get done, but Boston may be compromising, giving Jaylen more than any other team can but less than the $300M he's eligible for.

Wolves ruined everything for everyone. Ain’t no way anyone getting that return for even a real all nbaer

Hmmm not really

If they sign brown to 5 years, he’s young. Fvv bridge towards next time they have cap. Brooks is young. Amen, green, Sengun, Whitmore, KPJ still there.

Fvv/kpj
Brown/green
Brooks/


I mean it’s not the worst trade but I understand why it’s not loved

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Portland ends up with the worst out of the 3? Lol

That package ain’t much better than the proposed miamis. Especially if jalen green isn’t in there

 

[had pants]

 

[ballinsam23]

I get the no defense part, but no way his value is that low.

 

[noskey]

I know No matter what happens we aren't getting equal value return, so as long as we land a couple FRPs that could line up with Scoot and Sharpe's timeline, I'd survive.

what makes u think that

Lol lol

Bill simmons came up with that trade. Out of thin air.
