Doesn't matter

We are getting someone.

And KDs health is going to be a concern moving forward anyway.

I sincerely hope the front office is ready for such a scenario where we do not sign any long-term Free Agents except perhaps our own.

Barrett-Knox-DSJ will be fun to watch.

Absolutely, although I think RJ's development would benefit if he were the second or third option as a rookie, a la Jayson Tatum.

Brooklyn traded Crabbe and two first rounders for Taurean Prince, which is a solid trade for both teams. Nets can make a much more serious play for Kyrie (lots of buzz that he's a lock to be a Net) plus Durant (or Tobias/Butler etc).

It's not good for the Knicks, at all. But I can't help but to smile at the Nets of all teams getting Kyrie for free from the Celtics.

Depending on who is still around at 8, Atlanta’s 8,10, and 17 picks together make a more tempting package to trade #3 for.

It's called a weak draft.  But if we did that trade i would draft Sekou with one of those picks.

Getting Kyrie from the league pool - not really from Celtics.

Crabbe was a decent player.  But Nets did OK filling his shoes.  This does show that those late firsts aren't worth much.  Maybe we can snag one now from Hawks.

So that he would call you all out, Trader Vics.



And, by the way, PHUCK KYRIE! Glad if he's going to the Nyets.

Shame Toronto's title will be tainted in the eyes of many.


Real nice team.

I hadn't even thought of that.   I'm not sure GS injuries taint what Toronto has done.  No team is more talent-rich than GS.  They should be able to win with or without KD.

I think I may just put a little cash on Raptors for next year, though my guess is it is no longer 25-1

Toronto, is quite simply, the better basketball team.

They just took two in the Warriors home arena, and neither game was close.
They took both games during the regular season.
They beat them by 20 at Oracle with no Leonard vs. 100 minutes of Klay, Durant and Curry.

Should they take the title, no taint whatsoever.

2 Questions
« Reply #6163 on: June 08, 2019, 12:31:54 AM »
Does Kawhi really LEAVE a title defending team?   

Chances Toronto retains him are higher than ever IMO and yet Kawhi might still say "Mission Accomplished" and bolt for LA.

Does KD leave the Warriors if it is shown they can't win without him?

KD's "tainted titles" talk would die if indeed he returns to the Warriors and they win next year.
KD's best chance to win more titles is still GS.

We can build organically then. Don’t we have two first rounders next year?

We make our picks, get reasonable FA’s that enhance the program, maintain some space and keep building.
