>>74348968
nobody thinks noel is a bust, the reason he was traded is because philly doesnt want to give him a 25 million dollar a year contract when embiid is the starting center of their future

So... What team will be the most JUST today, Sixers or Kangs?

knicks. I just know they have a stupid trade lined up in the next hour

>>74349025
You think a team would give 25m to Noel?

wow between the Boogie trade and the Noel trade, it's almost as if bigs are - gasp - not valued as highly as guards or wings. What a shocking development that nobody on here could've ever seen coming.

>>74349044
they have 2 first round picks in a stacked draft this year, philly will be a lottery team even if they can pick swap so kangz still get a top 10 pick this year along with the pellys pick

>>74349048
Must be why they're the most dominant franchise in NBA history

>>74349058
yes, why is this so hard for you to believe? the nets have offersheeted literally every single RFA in the nba the last 3 years, the mavs traded for noel knowing they were going to max him so thats another team that would have offer sheeted him in the summer, the magic would certainly do it with all their cap space.

>>74349082
Ibaka was piss cheap because he's an UFA next season.

>>74349080
The Celtics don't need to make a trade just to make one

They can stand pat, draft Fultz/Ball/Jackson/Smith and go from there

>>74349094
Don't think you can trade someone you signed for a year

>>74349001

the time to trade Noel was last year or over the summer at the latest

Ibaka's a rental.

If he had a real contract and wasn't secretly old as fuck he'd have been worth more. Ibaka in his prime is the ideal big man in this current league.

Can the Celtics get both Butler/PG and Drummond? Is that their best case-scenario?

>>74349103
Don't you think that if there were so many suitors, the Sixers would have some kind of leverage on the negotiations? We're not arguing if they should have traded Noel, we're talking about the piss take that is a top 18 protection on a draft pick.

DO SOMETHING YOU FUCKER

>>74349149
Why don't they try to trade every player BESIDES Butler?

>>74349178
The whole front of the draft is stacked and the player will have a longer and much cheaper contract

>>74349178

It's not just about getting pure talent though. High draft picks are sought after is because rookie contracts are unfairly good.

You're getting a young 20 year old on a 5 year/20 million dollar deal along with guaranteed bird rights

>>74349178
Eh, some of the value is he'd be cheaper and good.

>>74349216
>Butler/PG and Drummond
(lol

>>74349228
teams dont want to give up much specifically because noel is a RFA and why would they give up assets for a guy they could offer sheet in literally 4 months, the mavs gave up 2 2nd rounders essentially, thats how little value noel has in his current situation. And before you ask why dont the sixers sign noel then trade him, because they dont want to commit, what if noel turns to shit next season and loses all value and they are stuck with him?

One hour to go. Skipped work so I could see the Rose-Rubio trade the second it happens. So hyped to watch our yuromob run a train on this league for the next 5-10 years.

>>74349274
nice bantz achmed i can respect this

>>74349193
Celtics benefit more from D Rose than the Knicks benefit from IT

>>74349263
Sure. Boogie can't handle not being the best player on the team and destroys the lockerroom over it.

Also Gentry is clearly garbage and only knows one way to conduct an offense, regardless of the talent he has, so he's just gonna try to force a fucking Demarcus Cousins having offense to run and gun and it's gonna be awful.

AD gets hurt like he always does.

Cousins gets suspended a lot.

Lots of shit could blow up this combo, at least for this year. They also don't have any fucking guards besides Jrue Holiday in a league where guard talent is the most important thing.

>>74349250
Because high draft picks don't always mean success, and the Celtics could end up with absolutely nothing. At least now they could contend if they add a "star".

>>74349253
oh dear god no not jae crowder or bostons 2017 pick which will be like 25th, or god forbid marcus smart

>>74349263
teams just shoot over them and make them a none factor on defense like the celtics did with gobert

>>74349282
but you'll still have melo ruining everything

>>74349281
AD shits on Draymond and the Warriors' biggest problem is rebounding.

Not that it'll matter since they'll just meme chuck math their way to victory while the Pelicans try to win by scoring 2s in the post.

>>74349315
you should get a job and move out of your parents house first

>>74349025
>saying something means you think it
You sure are smart.

Who's better offensively, Jimmy Butler or Paul George?

I honestly think George might be better.

>>74349240
He'd be cheaper until he got gud. Then he'd be the same price.

>>74349308
Melo's earned his place with all the shit he puts up with.

>>74349329
butler is better cause he will guarantee you 15 fts at least per game

>>74349327
explain to me how noel could be considered a bust in any way?

hes almost averaging a double double and plays elite defense and is an elite rim protector

if the sixers didnt have embiid then maxing noel would be a no brainer

>>74349329
Butler plays on a team where he gets the ball an exorbitant amount of times and gets to pad his stats as a result

>>74349301
There's benefits to both paths. If they make some trades for "stars, theres no guarantee someone like George could resign with the team, they could trade tons of assets and be fucked a few years down the line and left with nothing. Just trading for some perceived stars doesn't automatically equate to Finals trips.

We're talking big picture here

test

>>74349001
Nobody wants Jah for the price the Sixers are asking for.

People were throwing second round picks for him when the Sixers want a first rounder.

We all know he's not worth that, and they waited so long they could no longer get a good deal for Noel either.

If they traded Noel in last year's draft or before the season started they could've got a first rounder.

>>74349329
Butler

>pay Embiid 25-30% of cap
>pay Simmons 25-30% of cap
>pay back-up center 20% of cap

Just one more hour
Something needs to happen with the Knicks

>>74349364
Look dude it's like the Kings draft. It's not that it was a horrible idea to trade Noel if you weren't willing to pay him. It's that they waited so long that the value on him was scuttled and they got shit in return for it.

COME ON WOJ WHY IS YOUR SHOW STARTING LATE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>74349364
Nobody thinks they should have kept him, but you got two seconds and Justin Anderson.

Sixers post hinkie are kinda fucking morons.

>>74349412
WE LIVE

>>74349368
They just moved Nerlens in that trash deal, no reason to move Jah now. The whole issue was a logjam in the backcourt

>>74349250
Thomas is 26

By the time the new Celtics rookies from 2018 and 2019 become good he'd be 30-31 and probably not as good as he is now

There's also the fact that the players they will draft in the near future won't be as good as they anticipated, after all this is the team who got screwed out of the Duncanbowl and tanked so hard they ended up with the 5th pick in one of their worst seasons

Look at their draft history under Danny boy, only Al Jefferson was an All-Star for a brief period and they got lucky trading for Rondo until he blew his knees

Sullinger, Bradley, Smart, Olynyk are all bench players on good teams but not All-Star level talent

Rozier and the rest who isn't Jaylen Brown are absolute busts. Brown is lucky that all the three point bombers that were hyped as NBA ready in his draft class are also playing poorly

>>74349408
*Kings trade

woops

>>74349383
LOL what even is context right?

KG and Ray Allen >>> Butler and/or George. During the draft the Bulls asked more for Butler than what was traded for KG.

>>74349437
t. angry baldlet

>>74349421
Jah is worthless and if they can get value for him he needs to move.

The Kings could have had Isaiah Thomas and Boogie playing together through their prime. And pretty much gave both of them away.

>>74349408
People seem to forget that Embiid actually coming back and playing was no certain thing. Nerlens was kept as a safety net in case Embiid became Greg Oden 2.0.
Had Nerlens been traded and Embiid never fully recovered, you're looking at starting Jah every night after recovering from a torn meniscus, with Richaun Holmes being a question mark at backup.

>>74349424
Thomas and Horford aren't part of the big picture/long game. IT is gonna want a max by the time he's 31 too and he isn't going to get it from Boston.

Aside from that, thats a lot of real nice obvious points you've made there Philishitbro

>>74349455
That's the thing. You still don't know if Embiid is going to be Oden or not again.

So you made the choice purely based on his potential. He's still pushing through injury issues.

No matter how you spin it trading a promising playing for table scraps is bad. The team fucked up somewhere along in the way in how they managed it.

>>74349486

It's not. That deal needs a sweetener.

Brown/Bradley/Smart/Nets pick is a fair deal, but the celtics won't do it because they need someone who can defend in the backcourt next to isaiah. They'll want to replace smart with a future first, and that's what negotiations will center around.

I haven't watched much of the celtics this year.Is Avery Bradley still as good as people remember?

3 solid rotation players and the BKN pick is way too fucking much for Paul George I mean you're gutting the core of your team.

I'd give them Brown and Crowder(he's been acting like a bitch lately) and the pick

hahaahah

>>74349693
He's an injury prone guy who is a streaky shooter but plays hard D

Why is it that overrated all offense no defense wings are over priced out the ass but you can literally trade ham sandwiches for bigs? what the fuck? Cousins should have been a 7 for 1 type deal. Celtics made better offers for Noel and Jah all last season and the off season.

For OKC to acquire both McDermott and Gibson, sources say it would likely take Cameron Payne, Joffrey Lauvergne and draft compensation.

>>74349648
it's a horrible deal for the Celtics. George isn't going to make them better than Cleveland they're better off taking someone at the top of the draft and waiting for Lebron to get old

>>74349697
No one cares about how far you get, they have no chance of a title with or without PG

>>74349693
Bradley is excellent, but superfluous. They can win without him, and there's a nonzero chance he asks them for a renegotiation over the summer.

Crowder is the best of those players, by far. He's also on the best contract. There's a world in which trading Brown/Smart/Bradley/Pick makes sense. I'm not convinced though, I think they need to keep one of smart or bradley to have someone who can play the 2.

>>74349478
Manlets age horribly. He has 2 good years left only

>>74349697
as it stands the only way they'll play each other is the ECF lol. The Celtics making the ECF is where a lot of fans had them at best case before the season started.

It's a fair deal in the sense of what george is worth in a vacuum. Celtics get fucked in reality due to depth issues.

>>74349728
>they can win without him

They were winning Game 1 against Atlanta last year then Bradley went down and their defense tanked the rest of the series as did their offense.

>>74349713

>>74349728
Personally I guess it really comes down to whether or not people value good defense in the modern NBA.

With George you're getting an All-star talent to play alongside isaiah and help lift the load of offense but at the cost of ruining what made the c's good with good defense and bench play.

Isn't Gibson going to be a FA?

I don't think this deal is that great.

Joffery is going to be a RFA so OKC could still keep him.

lets be real, none of those fucking pussies GMs have the balls to pull the trigger. they are just sitting their fat fucking asses on their expensive leather chairs arguing over fucking andre roberson, taj gibson and other nobodies that noone knows or cares about. and you know why that is? because everyone knows that to win the championship you either have to be golden state or lebron james. not even popovich can compete with these monsters. you think the big 3 of thomas, horford and george can beat lebron fucking james?

do you know what the real process is? the aging process of lebron. till he retires none of those east conference bitches has any chance of being in a finals, let alone winning one.

That's what made them good last year.

This year it's spacing and Thomas. They fucking suck at defense this year.

Also, >scal talking about how PG will be 3rd team all NBA

Come on scal, he's not gonna get that.

>>74349783
In other words: wow it's literally nothing

If the Celtics don't make a move to improve the team, they are screwed. They won't be able to retain any of their talent, NBA players don't like to waste their careers on teams that don't take shots to try and win.

Fans might be content to sit around for 5 years and slowly rebuild and reload while LeBron gets old, but players are not. They want to be on competitive teams immediately, and want to play with aggressive management who make short-term success their priority.

why do people want post-broken leg paul george so badly

he's 26. he's past his athletic prime at 22-23 when he was checking prime rose in the playoffs. he broke his leg in half. he's not an elite defender anymore

i would give up the farm for PG in 2013 not in 2017

There would be a 3 team trade if the Pacers still want Okafor. I doubt they do, they seem to want him as a win now move, if they move George, it makes less sense.

>>74349804
Sure, but again, they added horford, and defense became less key to their identity. They're pretty fucking awful on defense this year, but Thomas took a leap and there's a ton of space for him to operate due to the addition of a shooting big like horford.

If so why not just try to collect as many big name players as possible and just sell out crowds based on name-recognition alone.

just trade for D-wade, jeremy lin, derrick rose, dirk nowitzki, paul pierce, etc. and maybe you'll sell tickets

Even if they don't win the ship this year, you're probably getting Fultz (if not Ball or Smith or some other stud prospect) this summer anyway. Quit whining.
