Tacko to the Celtics on an exhibit 10 contract.

[bodiddley]

R&B is pretty fabulous (happy to skip the junior shit).

If he's good.

But if he looks young and mistake prone the Jr. captures that.

But R&B is kind of a cool knickname, and it's one of my dated references* that still has relevance today ...


* I'm thinking Wynonie Harris doing Good Morning Judge or Louis Jordan laying down Jack You're Dead post-WWII.

otherwise I grew up learning that R&B stood for Ruth Brown . . .  well, that was her catchphrase when she had a radio show on NPR in the 80's

[bodiddley]

Nando De Colo -- one of the EuroLeague's top guards -- is planning a return to the NBA and could command an ample free-agent market.

Probably the most exciting thing since Sergio Rodríguez made his NBA comeback . . .

Subplot, TOR has his NBA rights, RFA, if they want.

You'd think it'd be pretty clear by now that playing PG well in Eurohoopsland doesn't translate to being good in the NBA . . .  especially when a guy is in his 30's (NdeC is 32) and washed out in his 20's.

[bodiddley]

I'd be more excited about the draft and the upcoming season if we had RJ Barrett, Knox and KZ in the fold.

[thebizneverloses]

At some point maybe accept he didn't want to be here?

[thebizneverloses]

Both Windhorst and Kendrick Perkins believe the Nets are the frontrunner for Kevin Durant.

Anxiously awaiting what name BoD chooses for Rowan Barrett Jr.

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In

Row the Boat

R&B Jr.

Crowbar

Does anyone actually use his given name Rowan?  Does he?

I'm leaning towards RJ JR.

R&B is pretty fabulous (happy to skip the junior shit).

R Buckets.

heh

To be continued

Sergio reference noted. but Telodosic's comments on "waiting too long" might be more suitable to this sitch.

[kiidcarter8]

Really?

But if he looks young and mistake prone the Jr. captures that.

OY.

But R&B is kind of a cool knickname...

...... I grew up learning that R&B stood for Ruth Brown . . .  well, that was her catchphrase when she had a radio show on NPR in the 80's

Uh.... OK


Anyway, welcome mat out for Barrett - above comments aside.  Kid seems to have the city at his feet right now.  Should be a great ride.

Stop fuckin' crying and realize what the space and picks can bring us.

KP is damaged -

how much is debatable.

[kiidcarter8]

Have you guys heard about the sign-wait-and-trade for KD? Obviously not ideal for the Knicks, and involves a lot of collusion. But better than not getting him.

So how does that work? He gets $57 million extra buckaroos while spending a pleasant year easymoneysniping little instagram followers.

The Warriors get a couple of our PorzingaPicks?

No thanks — let him rehab his eggshell-ego'd broken-down A#$ on somebody else's dime...

Warriors get some of our TEAM SALARY, clearing more space, no?

[bodiddley]

Sergio reference noted. but Telodosic's comments on "waiting too long" might be more suitable to this sitch.

And what was Spanoulis' excuse?  He came over too soon?
He was 25 and thought JVG was too tough on him.  Sulked, then went back Eurowards after one season.  Spanoulis was much hyped.

Basically, Pony Tarker and Jose Candelabra are the only 2 Euro-PG's to have success in the NBofA.  I guess Schroder is next, and he's been mostly a backup.

[kiidcarter8]

Sergio?

Who cares what his excuse was.

Has nothing to do with Nando.

You just lump guys together wily-nily - like when youc all whites "unathletic"

[facilitatorn]

Nando can light up Jimmer in summer league (rumored to Warriors). That might fool a GM with more roster spots than he knows what to do with.

Should we expect to see the following guys playing in Vegas?

Mitch
Ellison
Knox
Iggy
Wilkes
King
Frank
Barrett
Garrett
Hinton
Trier

My thought is you bring and play more young vets than you would normally to get Barrett reps with regulars.

8. Celtics fail to swing a big deal


Coming into Thursday night, the Celtics were expected to make some noise with their three first-round picks. But reality wound up being much different.

Boston did make a pair of deals, though both were of the minor variety, moving back four spots in the draft in one trade and securing a future first-rounder in another. As a result, the Nos. 14, 20 and 22 picks in Thursday's draft eventually turned into Indiana swingman Romeo Langford, Tennessee big man Grant Williams, Purdue point guard Carsen Edwards, LSU guard Tremont Waters and the Bucks' 2020 protected first round pick

Those three additions, plus the likely departures of Kyrie Irving and Al Horford, leave the Celtics with a team featuring 10 players who are 25 or under at the moment -- along with close to $25.8 million in room, per ESPN's Bobby Marks, to try to add another impact player to the roster

This time a year ago, Boston was expected to enter this night with a high lottery pick (courtesy of the Sacramento Kings) and the possibility of adding Anthony Davis via trade. Instead, the Celtics wound up with a few middling selections and potential cap space.

When Boston was coming off its Eastern Conference finals appearance a year ago, things were supposed to be far, far different than this.
