I'd better see lots and lots of images of Ainge with the JUST hair if the Celtics stand pat at the trade deadline.

The Celtics are trading Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart, their own 2017 first round pick, 2018 Brooklyn first round pick for Luol Deng and Brandon Ingram league source tells @TheVertical.

>>74332079
the call that saved the lakers

>>74332133
Horrible trade for the Lakers. That isn't worth half of Ingram even with Deng's bad deal.

>>74332240
hope they take noah as well. Plus Rose is on an expiring contract and if they get a pick for him it'll be heaven for the knickerbockers

>>74332251
That what I am praying not to happen.
Rose at this point is worse than Rubio and is paid a lot more. And wolves definitely do not need another big man.

Some people need glasses for reading long texts but nothing else.

If Shaw stayed in Orlando with Penny and they got Grant Hill (and he didn't get injured) would they have won a chip?

>>74332454

Shaq would have dominated the East. I'm trying to remember the centers back then, maybe Mutumbo on the 76ers, Todd Mccullough on the Nets, Mourning on the Heat, Camby on the Knicks...that's BBQ chicken.

Hill & Penny (even post Dumars Penny) would put up crazy efficient numbers. Probably 2 rings, free road to the Finals every year like LeBron now.

>>74332089
The Celtics don't need to make a trade just because they need to.

They're the second seed in the East and they are already almost guaranteed a high lottery pick in the upcoming draft. All they need to do now is to make sure their scouts don't fuck up hard and they pick the BPA at #1 (don't see them at #2 and above unless Silverball happens)

friendly reminder celtics will not make moves at the deadline because they are run by an autist.

So what is the Laker excuse going to be when Magic runs the franchise into the ground?

It seems that Crowder is the sticking point in the Butler negotiations. Ainge wants to keep him, but Butler wants to get him back in exchange along with picks.

>>74332567
yeah I just saw Aldridge talking about it.

Why is Crowder so important again? wasn't he the one that shat on the Celtics and their fans a couple of months ago? Wasn't he the one that couldn't make a 3 to save his life in the last playoffs? can someone give me a quick rundown on Showder?

we are all going to look back on this as the trade that saved the Kings, Boogie is Latrell Sprewell 2.0

>>74333096

>>74333182

fake tough guy

>>74333182
Crowder is Boston's main defensive guy for wings/4s.

He's like a bargain bin version of what James Posey was except he's shorter and is a much horrible and inconsistent shooter (actually all of the Celtics are save for Thomas and Armbreaker).

If Butler becomes the 3, they will have a gaping hole on the wings since he'll only be backed up by books nigga and he's not ready for Lebron/Durant/George yet.

Yuros look good, especially Ante

You forgot MWP, mentioned 4chan in a livestream

>>74333424
top kek

>>74332567
Why the fuck Bulls want Crowder ? The aim of a rebuild is to be bad & develop young players. Crowder provides neither.

'17 nets pick + Brown + maybe Smart is what they should be getting. Why the fuck would you want Crowder or Avery Bradley ?!

>>74333424
Do you see them constructing a championship roster through the draft?

OKC needed to find 2 legit superstars (Durant,Westbrook) and 1 budding superstar (Harden) in the draft to do it. The best Celtics have done so far is drafting a defensive stud who'd, ideally, be the 4th/5th best player on a contending roster. If they keep this up they'll end up with a 1st/2nd round exit team barring some huge Lebron/Durant tier FA signing

>>74333449
Because Crowder is young and still has 3 and half years left at only like 6 million a year

>>74333449
on a cheap 3 and D contract and stingy dipshit ainge thinks he can levy that cheap 3 and D contract in a later, better trade that is never gonna happen


ainge is the guy in your fantasy football league that spams garbage fucking trades hoping somebody bites and when they don't it's their problem not his

Danny Ainge is a idiot, he's gonna end up with Okafor another bust to put alongside Jaylen Bustown

I get it but he's not a need in a rebuilding team. He makes your pick worst basically.
Unless you're thinking about trading him for other assets that is

>>74334655

he's decent, above average on defense. He's not going to lock anyone down or anything but he won't ever be a liability defensively. He's actually really good at being a role player, he has decent basketball IQ, a good defender, able to knock down shots, etc. But he's still just a role player, he's not the type to carry a team or even a bench, but he can play off of others and fill in the gaps so to speak.

Would be a good pickup for houston

desu I think the only way to beat the warriors is either go all defense(like the Grizzlies or the Spurs) or bomb the fuck out of them with offense like the Rockets.Either that or just have bron win one for da land.

Rockets don't have lebron so we have to resort to out-bombing the warriors I call it suicide-bombing because sometimes it doesn't work out and you basically shoot yourself out of the game but its cool when it does work.

It's because Paul George doesn't want to sign an extension and looks like he's going to leave the Pacers since they have no assets to trade to make the Pacers a contender and their trades last off season only made them a worse team.

Paul George is most likely going to Portland. The Blazers have offered 3 players(1 expiring)and a pick( Not sure which one)

>>74335051
Probably not. This Spurs team has beat the top 5 teams in both conferences already.

They seem too good

what is it with this championship or bust mentality all these GMs have all of a sudden? They're not beating Lebron or the warriors anyway, might as well just let his contract play out and be a 5th seed in the east and maybe try to make the second round. Let your fans enjoy the ride and show free agents that your franchise is always going to compete.

What does blowing everything up at this point even accomplish? Just so you can maybe become a 5th seed again in a couple of years?

Lakers were dumb not to trade him since he's clearly a bust.

Now we're being ironic and hyping him up as the greatest player ever because he's just worth that much to the Lakers organization there MUST be something behind the scenes, like he's a super genius and has a greater bball IQ than LeBron and Jason Kidd combined.

Ingram because being bad in your rookie year doesn't automatically mean you're a complete bust. There is still time for him to turn it around, even though I doubt he will.

Don't you think it's telling that people have to get lucky to get their lone career triple-double? You seem to be kind of underselling their experience

Is Buddy Hield a better franchise player than Anthony Carmelo

If Ingram has such high BBIQ, why doesn't he have more points, assists, rebounds, and advanced stats?

Even if the Celtics get George or Butler, they're probably STILL not good enough to beat the Cavs. The Celtics are in good position five years down the line though if they nail these picks.

>>74336315
Actually, that would make the Warriors truly terrifying.

Ish Smith can finish layups and play at Westbrook/Wall speed. Curry makes behind the back passes to fans in the front row.

>>74336306
And condensed into a single sentence, the whole point on the article is.

>you can't get a triple double consistently without being an athletic freak or a REALLY special player, like Westbrook.

They just have to be contrarian at all fronts.

Must undersell, or point holes in any type of success or greatness by a popular player.

They cannot sit back and just enjoy this magical, historical, record breaking season Westbrook is having.

They just cannot understand the significance of a triple double like actual former players can. People who've actually played the game and know how physically taxing it is and what high level play is required to do it.

>>74336443
Westbrook is having a fantastic season but the whole "averages a triple double" narrative is overblown. He only has over 10 rebounds because he tries to snag every single uncontested rebound that OKC would've easily gotten anyway.

>>74336554

Westbrook is universally regarded as the best rebounding guard in the league for a reason.

>>74336554

it's the culture we live in bro. Other cultures women know their place, but in the western world they grow up with this entitled attitude thinking they're literally better than everyone else. And we as society let them act that way by babying them and treating them like literal princesses.

Funny how that attitude seems to fade away once they hit their 30's and realize they're just like everyone else once everyone stops putting up with their bullshit just because they're cute.

>>74336631
He is the best rebounding guard but that's not enough to average 10 a game. He wouldn't be averaging that many without unnecessarily trying to get every single one of them.

I can appreciate Westbrook's greatness without resorting to just praising him for reaching some arbitrary numbers.

>>74336631
Also keep in mind this video is from 2015

>Paul George's shoe has his initials in the shape of an hourglass
>Isaiah Thomas just tweeted an hourglass emoji
IT'S HAPPENING

>>74336574
>teams give up on rebounds knowing OKC was the best rebounding team in the league last year and feel zero need to fight for little rebounds and sacrifice transition defense so Westbrook can throw a full court pass to Oladipo or Roberson for a easy layup

>hurr durr Westbrook's stealing rebounds and it's uncontested therefore a it's no longer a rebound

You do realize the overwhelming majority of all rebounds in the league are uncontested in this era due to the heightened focus put on teams, by coaches, to increase transition defese?

The Warriors destroyed teams in transition and now the rest of the league has wised up on how to stop it.

Klay Thompson had that historic first half this season against the Pacers because they didn't play transition defense and allowed Klay to get so many cherry picking opportunities.

>>74336554
why are you such an asshole

>>74336493
Lebron easy finals as usual. At least the West has a couple teams who can compete with the Warrriors and are maybe a player away from really competing. If both were traded to different western conference teams and those teams didn't lose much for it, then they would directly threaten the Warriors like the Thunder almost did.

>>74336631
>best

This is what happens when you don't take Westbrook seriously in transition.

Tons of full court passes and him running 100mph straight for a layup.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ori3ojJRCJ4

Watch how late the Cavs are to get in position and try to linger for rebound opportunities and steals.

>>74336889
how do we save diplo from the shitty thunder? he deserves a better team

>>74336986
A guy waits in the other half court for a pass without engaging in the half court defense. This creates a easy layup or transition scoring opportunity.

This is different than a person, engaged in the half court defense, anticipating a pass, usually from a defensive rebound, quickly running towards the basket, and catching a pass in stride like a WR.

Paul George to the Clippers for Blake and a pick

>>74337080

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHOdLi-N_e4

Compare to Klay's historic game and the even worse transition defense by the Pacers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQaGX4-Sfvg

>>74337038
He's actually happy as hell. He went from perennial lottery team to a rebuilding playoff team.

OKC only needs some more shooters and a shooting coach. Everyone can post till the paint's all gone, but you can't win games if all the defenders pack the paint and have no other method of scoring.

If Westbrook can improve his stroke and become consistent, he can be pretty lights out. He's a decent scorer and an average shooter, but he needs more of that to space the floor.

It's obvious that PG will go to Boston if he goes anywhere.

I mean, come on. Bird and Ainge will hook each other up with great deals. Boston will get their next superstar, and Indiana will get a top-4 pick and a promising rookie in Jaylen Brown.

It just makes sense.

This is retarded. Every team has a shooting coach and it doesn't matter how good of a coach you are, you can't make players good at shooting threes or else every player since the 80s would be good at it. Some people just can't shoot and it's a mental issue.
