Moderators AHF Posted July 5, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 9 minutes ago, ATLSmith said: Boston got better and should be at least tue 2 seed in the East. Hayward already knows the system and will play well in it. It sucks, but thats what it is. I feel pretty bad for Jazz fans. They would have been something special in a year or two had Hayward stayed. I don't disagree with any of this. I just think it leaves Boston solidly short of contender status. Hayward probably would not have been favored to make the All-Star team in the West. He is a nice add and should fit in very well. Just like Horford. Just like Horf, I will be interested to see if he is truly capable of raising the team or if he is just another nice piece.

DBac Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thoughts on trying to steal KCP from detroit? They've hard-capped themselves and would have to do some maneuvering to match an offer sheet. Brooklyn is the RFA boogieman but they're currently tied up with Otto Porter until Washington decides they want to match (most teams wait as long as they can).

By himself he doesn't move the needle that much but along with Morris it's a considerable team upgrade as he's as tough and far better offensively than Amir Johnson. All of this is an effort to bolster Al's weaknesses but Ainge will soon find out it's not worth it. I like Bradley but they were rich in scrappy small guards, can't let go of Crowder's contract. They're looking at another gentleman's sweep in the Con Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the west, he made the team once and played the fewest minutes of all the wings on the bench. In the East and in Boston he'll be likely to make token appearances at the games without being in consideration for the All-NBA team. No one on that team will be an MVP candidate.

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 8, 2017 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 The pool is drying up. Bogdanovic signed with the Pacers. Therefore, if we lose THJr, looks like Belli, Baze, and Bembry will be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 So Harden stinks up the joint in an elimination game (without Kawhi), gets drunk in the club immediately after, and is rewarded with the richest extension in history. Damn the NBA is tone deaf. Damn DeMarre. He got traded along with a 1st and a 2nd for some cat named Justin Hamilton. Getting killed pretty good by Raptors fans on the way out. I always liked Jeff Green. You can't tell me $2.3M to reinvigorate his career behind Lebron ain't a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Still would have a chance to field some kind of ten man rotation if we can bring in Reed for C. After the Miles soon to be SnT by Indy our backup SF free agent opportunities are incredibly slim now if Bembry does indeed get his minutes mostly at the guard spots. It doesn't have to be the FA route though so maybe something happens in a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Vol4ever Posted July 10, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Its quite obvious our genius GM does not want to sign a free agent. But, somewhere and somehow we gotta get to that magic 82 million on salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
