Do really think he's would say Fultz was number one but we traded the pick?

Ainge liked Tatum better. He worked out, and talked, to both players.
Personally I would have preferred keeping the #1 and Fultz. Ainge didn't.
I think Tatum could be very good. I think he'll be at around 14ppg this year and roughly 20ppg next year.

Nobody believes that, that's just bullshit GM talk
The Big Bell era has begun.

Listening to paxon on ESPN radio, tense interview. He sounds pissed about what Jimmy said in an interview.
Stull can't believe these guys are still in charge.

That's why I said a top 5 pick. If that's involved for one year of pg I'm done with Danny.

Crazy idea, could the Spurs cut enough cap space to get Lebron next year? Leonard, Lebron, and Pop together would be a force.
I was listening to GarPax last night, and their were spewing some garbage along the lines they have too many forwards. Something about Niko too. This is their thought process and why the Bulls will be loser bros forever as long as these clowns stay in charge. A player Golden State wants and will pay max in cash and the Bulls don't think for a second, "Hmm the best team in the league wants this guy. Maybe we should keep him?" So happy GarPax are thinking of Niko instead.

Uncle Jerry only hands out life time contracts for his front office...i've accepted that these guys will never leave or be fired. Until some magical saviour comes in and buys the team which will never happen because the Bulls are too profitable.
That long motherfucker gon be good

I still can't believe that the Bulls traded up to get McDermott, then proceed to trade him and Gibson and a 2nd round pick for.... Cameron Payne. Then they trade butler for another point guard. You can't make this shit up.

Lonzo's demeanor and attitude reminds me of Tim Duncan.
Quiet confidence.

Spectrum network legit had LaVar's quote about Zeus and Jesus in the background and it looked like a WWE PPV preview.

Thanks, so it's pretty soon. I'm anxious to see where everybody goes.

Blake is the one FA I'm most curious about in terms of where he'll end up and how much he will get. Does he get a deal similar to Dwight last summer? Do the Celts conceivably have cap space for Blake and Gordon?
nope just 1

Someone please just mention the fact that Tatum Brown George and Hayward all play the same position. It's so weird how it goes completely ignored.
Some random ass non Stein, non Woj tweet seems much more likely to be a leak to try to make the Lakers panic and up their offer for George.
Doesn't Blake make way more sense than Hayward given the positions?

No harm in having lots of wing players that can handle the ball.

He's been really injury prone these last few seasons, so anybody who pays him the max is taking a huge risk. I think the Clips would be better off not chasing him too hard.

Versatility is not a bad thing in the modern NBA. It allows you to move guys around to fit matchups which is far more important to pigeonholing guys into dated "position" designations. There is no reason Heyward, Brown and Tatum can't conceivably play together depending on the opposing matchup.
Brown Tatum PG and Hayward is too many forwards.

If Brown can guard the opposing lead guard I don't think so. Few teams run lineups these days that feature big bruising 4s anymore.

Agreed. In fact I think Downtown Jaylen Brown is the biggest key for what Danny seems to be planning here, if he can defend guards it would give Stevens so many flexible line-ups depending on the matchups. Hayward is a good defender on bigger guards as well.

How many 'if and or buts' are they going to be giving Hayward in that meeting room? This 'master plan' has so many required dominoes it would be scary to be the first one and just take the leap of faith that the rest will fall.
Thibs apparently brought Pizza in last night after the trade to the Twolves ticket sales staff who worked overnight

Good use of caps in that letter
Knick fans are shit. They've spent 20 years chasing out of town iconic basketball minds. Knicks should suck for as long as screamin A Smith is a fan.
Never forget the asshole advocated a boycott of the team because Phil picked Porzingis.

Some shit from SAS's ass. Right, some miracle deal where the team (without a GM) gets a deal that lands them all the parts they would want/need. Riiiiiiiiiight.
GTFOOH, SAS.
Tbf both those players should be pretty cheap.
