Now that Harden is being cucked by the most controlling OCD point guard in history out of his touches and Westbrook is going to have his usage cut by at least 30-25% by Paul George and possibly even more if they get Rudy Gay.

That means Kawhi is now the favorite to win MVP.

>>76878788
Not necessarily. Curry is technically gonna be the last to sign. Durant opting out was so Livingston and Igoudala could get their money first, then Durant's first year (of the new multi-year contract) eats up whatever is left of cap space and Curry gets the mega max with Bird rights. I believe this method also gives GS the $5 million exception (instead of $8 million) and whatever vet mins they squeeze in.

IGGY PLS COME TO SPURS

Damn, Ainge, you so damn good at your job

I don't get why people can't see big picture here with my Celtics.

A. We will be signing Hayward.

B. We still have all these assets. It's not like they vanished.

C. Ainge wants a super duper star like Anthony Davis. He is only kicking the tires on these other guys and will only do a deal if it's a great deal for him.

D. Jimmy Butler isn't getting you a title. Neither is Blake. PG13 I would have liked along with Hayward, but he has publically said he wants to go to LA. Why risk a huge offer for a rental? There was no guarantee he was staying beyond 1 season.

So, no. I'm not disappointed. We will head into next season with a team that has a great shot to knock off the Cavs. Once Davis becomes available next off-season Danny will go for it. Or, if this draft class is truly special with a franchise altering guy or guys at the top, Danny will draft 1 or 2 of those guys and we will have a dynasty in the making. There is no pressure on the Celtics

People need to calm down. Seriously. I'm not blowing my load for 2 Ray Allen's when I need a Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to get me a banner.

The Jazz play extremely slow though, he could have gotten a lot more in a Rockets/Warriors type team.

>>76879150

He's also never taken more than 15 shots a game. You're just some idiot Kiwi shitposter though, so I'm gonna assume this was bait or mental retardation on your part.

>>76879093


Because there's no point not trying to compete when you're so close.

Injuries can gut any team at any time. Lebrons back becomes an actual issue and he misses the post season? What if Durant tears his acl at end of season? Suddenly IT4, BUTLER and pg13 looking pretty damn good.

>>76879111
Lopez was one of the worst defensive centers in the league and stat padded through usage.

The NBA is heavily focused on the perimeter and having a guard like Dlo is much better for the team. Make him play SG with Lin as the slasher in a spread offense is much better. Allen is a great young center, look up his Texas highlights. Can easily come into the league his rookie year and play like Capela did last year for the Rockets. Catch lobs, run the floor, block shots, and nothing else. Their defense will overall be awful but they can score enough to make the playoffs this year since the East just lost all their best perimeter defenders.

>>76879202
I don't think so, Johnny.

>>76879178
>21 points on 15 shots is meant to be impressive
The guy is a fine player but people are acting like you could actually build a championship winning team around him

>>76879231

Hed make a great piece on a contender for sure

>>76878771
That's pathetic

>>76879173
It's because they played slow he got that many points. Have you seen his game? He takes a long time to approach things and feels out the defense instead of being aggressive and taking it to them first. He's an old school SG when you really think about it.

Not aggressive and run and gun. Very careful with his shot taking and patient.

So that's:

So I'll take that.

Kevin Durant was an MVP contender before the injury, he was by far the most efficient shooter in the league on a massive volume.

Harden and Westbrook looked like trash comparatively

>>76879360
Hayward shot .471 last year, .398 from 3 and over .500 on 2s.
>>76879394
They're not "building a team around him" you fucking idiot, they were the #1 seed last year (really the #2, but whatever). They're (hypothetically) adding a top 15-20 player who has a great relationship with their coach to a playoff team. But this is somehow bad, because he's not Lebron James.

>>76879405

Lebron and PG13 are going to the Lakers next year, I 100% know this because I spoke to Lebron's camp and he is focused entirely on his legacy on being the GOAT and wants to revive the dead Lakers as his last act.

Klay is very underrated. Second best 3 shooter (though he gets less touches now) and a far better defender than Hayward. The other guys you mentioned are marginally better but if I was looking for a roleplayer, which is all Hayward is good enough to be, I would take them

Klay is "underrated" because he has a top 5 player in the world to draw attention away from him. Without Curry he'd be a lot worse.

>>76879852
Bird rights. Iggy and Livingston have been on the team for 3+ years, so it's OK. If Durant didn't take the discount, Warriors would have had to renounce cap holds on Iggy and Livingston, thereby losing those very valuable Bird rights. Durant gets his great shot at a ring, Curry gets his mega max, and the Warriors reward loyalty for the aging vets. Zaza and Javale are likely to leave because you just know somebody is gonna be stupid enough to give them big money.

GSW was #14 in salaries last year so im not surprised they keep all the key players, though I am interested in what Durant takes.

Obviously if we think about what his Finals win and FMVP did for his fading shoe brand it probably isnt a bum deal whatever he takes.

>>76879981
Because he was young and money hungry.
He took 35% of the cap with the new Rose rule instead of taking 30% with the rose rule and they could've kept Harden. After the trade KD said "all for 6 million?" while laughing to put the blame on Harden but really it shouldn't have even happened if the NBA properly enforced the new CBA and didn't fuck over the original projections made by OKC. Harden could've, and should've taken the money that was offered but held on wanting more. So there's a lot of blame on both players.

But ultimately that doesn't matter anymore.

>A soft cap promotes a team's ability to retain its own players. Nobody likes it when a player plays with one team his entire career, the fans love him, he wants to stay and the team wants to keep him, but he has to leave because the team cannot offer him a satisfactory contract. The exceptions under a soft cap allow teams to keep players under these kinds of circumstances. In addition, they allow teams to make a limited number of changes (replacing department players, improvements, etc.) every year.

They can still afford plenty of vet mins (and later buyouts) and either the $5 million or $8 million exception. I'm not sure if the Warriors process allows them to use the higher one since they technically didn't go under the cap.

But these are the guys at center. Dedmon is the likely option, unless the Warriors want to bring in a rusty Ezeli who didn't play a minute all of last year. PF will be fine West returning and that rookie Jordan Bell. Center only has last year's 1st round pick, Damian Jones or something.

Even a great defender is only going to make their opponent shoot a few percentage points lower than their average/game, it comes out to less than half a shot difference/game roughly.

Funny you say that because that was the only thing that made westbrick so valuable was abandoning his man to chase rebounds and push up the floor.

That will be the next thing these dinosaurs running the Nba figure out, that contesting shots to the point where your completely out of position to get a rebound is dumb

Larry Bird exception[edit]
Perhaps the most well-known of the NBA's salary cap exceptions is the Larry Bird exception, so named because the Boston Celtics were the first team permitted to exceed the salary cap to re-sign one of their own players (in that case, Larry Bird). Free agents who qualify for this exception are called "qualifying veteran free agents" or "Bird Free Agents" in the CBA, and this exception falls under the terms of the Veteran Free Agent exception. In essence, the Larry Bird exception allows teams to exceed the salary cap to re-sign their own free agents, at an amount up to the maximum salary. To qualify as a Bird free agent, a player must have played three seasons without being waived or changing teams as a free agent. Players claimed after being amnestied have their Bird rights transferred to their new team. Other players claimed off waivers are not eligible for the full Bird exception, but may qualify for the early Bird exception. Prior to an arbitrator ruling in June 2012, all players that were waived and changed teams lost their Bird rights.[34][35] This means a player can obtain "Bird rights" by playing under three one-year contracts, a single contract of at least three years, or any combination thereof. It also means that when a player is traded, his Bird rights are traded with him, and his new team can use the Bird exception to re-sign him. Under the 2011 CBA, Bird-exception contracts can be up to five years in length, down from six under the 2005 CBA

Why did the Process work but whatever Ainge is doing in Boston fail?

>>76880170
>said players blaming the organization for his shit performance even when given many chances to be the go-to player

Why would you keep a player that is putting the blame on the organization as the reason for his faults? Plus if he is already thinking this way you might as well get something worthwhile out of a trade versus waiting for his player option to hit next season and be left empty handed

"Danny Ainge finally gets his man the Celtics sign German All-Star Daniel Theis".

Beautiful hiring. Now we're fine.
This Danny Ainge is a braggart. Whoever accumulates too much, loses strength in negotiation. Who wants to be too smart, ends up being the only fool.
Most defend him because he was lucky in some cases. It's the famous lucky donkey.
Apart from the exchange of Kevin Garnett, I have never seen merit in him.
By the way, I only saw luck and stupidity.
It was stupid to trade the Perkins and end the union of the group and take our title shot.
It was stupid to sign with Al Hoford before Kevin Durant using the same strategy as Ray Allen.
I doubt anyone would imagine that Rondo, Thomas, and Crowder would be the players who became Boston.
And I doubt anyone imagined that Brooklin would fall apart, lose its members, and become such a weak franchise.
Sport is joy and Ainge has taken it from us. He does not care about the excitement of the supporter. He frustrated us in the last 3 trade deadlines and draft.
Not even the pleasure of having the first choice he gave us, we spent a year rooting against Brooklin for nothing. Only he said Tatun would be the best prospect in the draft. He thinks a lot, everyone is wrong, just him right.

No one can stand it and no one else does it.
