He is worth 200 million (but said he's willing to wait on contract talks so the team can improve this year), and his defensive blackhole is nullified by his offensive production that ONLY he can do on the team.

The hip injury is a legit concern though.

OK ALL OF CELTICS PICKS FOR KAWAII YES OR NO??

>implying

I can easily see Westbrook okaying a trade to Boston. He'd make them Finals contenders by himself, and they probably still wouldn't be done dealing for pieces. He wants to win and he wants to continuously prove himself. He's like Goku in that way. He likes the challenge.

Plus, unlike so many other stars Westbrook is not a fucking coward, so he wouldn't be afraid of heading east and challenging LeBron. In fact, he might want to go the East simply so he can win the conference and see Durant in the Finals.

>>76633926
Kingsfag here, I would trade my entire team for Westbrook. i don't care if we win 5 games with him and a bunch of undrafted rookies. He's exciting as fuck

>>76633920
Yea that sounds about right. Fultz guards the opposing pg. Covington is a helluva good defender so he can guard almost anyone.

>>76633920
Switch almost everything. We already do it.

Saric will probably come off the bench (still playing a lot of minutes) and I think that's best for him. Has the potential to be Brett's Ginobili.

>>76633961
the goys on /nba/ will ignore it because they think their shit "sport" isnt' rigged.

>>76633886
Simmons can run the point without being a guard.

>>76633973
I want Fultz to take 3 to be desu

>>76633892
wew

>>76633998
You might be right about Saric off the bench. I just think he showed so much improvement towards the end of the year when he got more playing time that they'll give him a chance to start.

Post yfw Toronto goes all in on PG and conquers LeBitch that way.

>>76634019
True. They did sign Jared Bayless last year thinking his 3 point shooting could allow him to be the other guard. So maybe Fultz at point, Bayless at 2, and Simmons doing the whole point forward thing.

>>76634052
Yeah but ultimately starting doesn't matter that much if you're still playing 25-30 minutes. Saric would eat bench units alive, he already has great chemistry with TJ.

TJ / Sauce / Anderson (?) / Dario / Homie is a bretty gud bench unit. Replace Anderson with a FA probably.

I went down this road with KD last year.

I'm telling you as a friend to just give up on George, he's a traitor. Just let it be, and start the process of accepting the situation.

Get ready to watch Miles Turner try and carry the team for a while and not making the playoffs for 3 years.

>I can easily see Westbrook okaying a trade to Boston

Stopped reading right there. Especially after he just released two commercials talking about loyalty, loving OKC and LA and how they're his home.

Westbrook is about to be the highest paid player in NBA history with his new extension and would be worse than KD is he pulled a move like that after all the stuff he just said.

Delusional Celtshit fans are the worst.

Why don't we just allow both all-star teams to play in the finals? We are pretty much half-way there anyways

guys, is NBA 2K17 any good? thinking about picking it up on the cheap. in the mood for some vidya hoops. i played 2K16 quite a bit last summer when it was free on PSN that one month. is it any improved from that? i would just wait for 2K18 but there's too many other games coming out in the fall and money sucks right now.

>>76634019
But not full time. I don't believe he can be LeBron level because not even LeBron could play PG fulltime.

>>76632772
Why are Celtics fans dumb enough to think they can sign Griffin/Hayward AND trade for Butler? Do they not understand salary caps? They would basically have no bench if they cleared that much cap. They would also have to trade Zizic, Jaylen and the coveted Eurotrash they hyped up.

Are the Celtics trying to win now or rebuild?

:^)

Everyone STFU with all the Celtics trading hypotheticals

None of these lineups are going to beat the Warriors or even beat LeBron. We need young talent who will start peaking in 4-5 years once the Cleveland/Warriors era is over. Ainge had a shot at one of the best Guard prospects since Kyrie and fucked it up

>>76635592
Does trading the #1 pick for more picks accomplish either?

If you are trying to win now, you trade the pick for a star. If you are trying to rebuild, you keep the pick and trade Thomas for more picks.

What the fuck is Ainge doing?

This trade makes literally no sense unless he is throing the #3 and the 2 other 1st round picks to the Bulls for Butler but then why not just trade the #1 and 2018 nets pick straight up?

Boston believes that the #1 pick is too much to give up and that splitting it up into the #3 and a future lottery pick makes it easier to do trades.

>>76635664
He probably thinks that the Nets will be worse than the Kings/Lakers next year so he wants to keep that pick

Butler is just worth one top pick plus salaries to match

>>76635683
So Ainge is going through all of this jewery just to get himself an additional high lottery pick in the end?

i actually can't believe bryan fucking colangelo is the one who trade-raped ainge.

Butler is conservatively a top 15 player and top 10 in a lot of circles. He is a top 5 2-way player. Potential is always overrated which is why any top 15 player is worth a #1 and more unless it's a LeBron tier 1st pick which Fultz isn't. He projects to be a slightly better Irving

Embiid nicknames himself The Process. Minutes restrictions. JANUARY. TJ game winner over Porzingis. Embiid gets hurt, they play him anyway, he dominates on national TV, never plays again.

Jaylen Brown is the second, he's definitely not a bust although the Celtics would have fared better with Hield or Chriss. Their saving grace was that they've dodged Dunn and Dragon Penis

The reason why the Celtics won 53 games is because Isaiah played out of his mind and won games on his own. He will never play that well again because he is an aging midget with a bad hip now. It was lightning in the bottle. Something the Celtics will talk about in history as a great one year run. Without Isaiah last year, they are a .500 team at best.

Samwise is the greatest GM ever

>>76636167

On one hand, I feel like Fultz has something wrong with him for Boston to work with him then suddenly fall off... but at the same time I'm flabbergasted they're gonna blow off their #1 pick for #3 and a first next year (which, lets face it with the 6ers luck won't be top 3)

#NotMyPick

>>76636511
Sounds like you don't even know what the deal is.

The extra pick Boston gets is the LAKERs pick, they get it if the pick falls within the range of 2-5. If it is #1 or anything above #5, then Boston get the 2019 Sacramento first-round pick instead. That's two great chances at landing a top-5 pick.

>>76636528

Dude can be forrest gump retarded but if he can play I'd take him.

Also, checked the mock drafts and the majority seem to go with Josh Jackson.

>>76636535
Not if the Lakers and Kings don't land in the top 5 in 2018 and 2019....

>>76636511
This. If anything, the Sixers should trade up for Josh Jackson, since that's who the Lakers are drafting. Little do they know they're in for the biggest bust in NBA history with his spergy attitude and glass knees. Josh Jackson is Truth 2.0 and I'll be smug as fuck if we can somehow land him.
