Exactly so.

Murray, Sochan, Eason, Daniels, are all guys who are going to have serious careers because of their energy and work ethic who will hold their own defensively and bring help who Thibs can easily slot with our existing talent.

Williams and Duren are both quality bigs acceptable as consolation prizes if none of the above available.

Smaller wings like Mathurin and Sharpe are worth a look if they drop.

I am not sure their are takers to give a second rounder for Kemba or Noel. I will be happy to be proven wrong in either case. If serious dreck is coming back, I could see it. Otherwise, no.

Yes

Have been trying to imagine who might be tempted on Kemba.

Slim Pickings.

Charlotte? 

Lakers?

Clippers? 

Even those are a big reach. 

Wondering how the Top 4 plays out.

I have a feeling Ivey might leapfrog. 

Conventional wisdom is to the Kings at #4 or Pistons at #5. 

Someone might move up to grab him. 

Just not us...

Well alright - wagers are in

For tonight - Warriors +3.5 is stealing money

For series - decided on Warriors in 5 - 20 buck wager wins me 150.

Already have Warriors at +140 to simply win the series.

Cut Gibson

Deal Rose

Sign Brunson

Brogdon for a year is plan B.



Of course we do.  Minus Derek and Taj

Buyout Kemba and I am happy with our PG talent. Rose, Quick, and Deuce are more than enough.

Draft impact players and see what we can get for Randle. Resign or replace Mitch. Those are the major jobs of the offseason.

Simple deal of Randle and insertion of Toppin isn't happening

Just not good enough

Only 2 day turnaround of the Finals.

Who will win Game 4?

Will Steph Curry's leg (ankle?) recover in time?

Will Robert Williams' leg be all right?

Can the Celtics hold home court advantage instead of giving it back?!

Can the Warriors keep their 2022 playoffs streak of winning after every loss going?!

Will Kid predict that GSW is going to win 3 straight games. Again, that is, since he already predicted it starting with Game 3.

I never preicted that.

I took the odds.  Same as I did when wagering GS to win series AFTER they lost Game 1.  And same as I did getting 3.5 points last night.

Celts are kicking my baankroll's ass a little, I admit.

You might want to talk with your PCP or neurologist about your memory, Kid, You posted this after the first game ended:

Well, its been a nice run for Celtics

Sadly, just 4 games left - and no ring.

Okay, it was 4 straight, starting with Game 2, but since the Warriors won Game 2, that still is a prediction for three in a row in Games 3-5.

So we agree then.  If Randle is dealt we had better have someone coming in at his spot.

Edit - OR an elite scorer at the 5 (see AD, Zion)

Sweet Merciful HayZeus.

We are NOT agreed that someone needs come back at the 4 spot. 

We disagree on Obi's capabilities, though he surely has a way to go, but showed great progress in his end of the season showcase. 

The idea that we are getting AD or [OR] ZION back is an hallucination of the highest magnitude.   

If Julius were to be dealt, the expectation would be one of the more favorable draft lottery picks or Jalen Brunson, both extremely remote possibilities. 

Of course, it was your learned opinion, that hiring Rick Brunson was tantamount to punching Jalen Brunson's ticket to Madison Square Garden. 

In the meantime, we can expect subsequent posts as to the cumulative lack of talent in Obi, IQ and RJ. 

Onwards.

I love how Kid just ignores when his denials are proven false.
