If you trade the pick and it turns into a superstar, you are forever associated with it.

If you don't trade the pick people will forget about the possibilities.

When the half-life of your job is like 3 years, GMs make sure their rear end is covered.

Weird to see best coach in the NBA Brad Stevens and such valuable assets like Channing crowder Jayson brown and some other try hards who can't shoot 3s lose to Fred Hoiberg's alphas. My boy murph says he'd rather trade this team for one year of Aaron Hernandez. who says no?

Rondo is extremely good when he's using his powers of hate to spite his old team instead of using them to be very homophobic

A raccoon is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.
The inherit nature of an alpha makes it that seeking chemistry with another alpha would be a fool's errand. Two alphas would be sub optimal, you would just have two men bickering and not working together. Four alphas would cause too much drama and risk formation of two opposing cliques within the team. However with three alphas you enjoy the raw benefits that three total alphas could bring to a team while being not that much more uneven of team as two alphas would've been

They would be trading the pick for a superstar. And they'd still have a Brooklyn pick the following year and Jaylen Brown if they're looking to the future.

Even if they don't want to give up those big assets, why not trade that Memphis pick for someone like Taj? Would much rather have him out there than the scrubs they're putting at PF.

This is it.

With the 3 Alphas

Butler was able to learn from and get better by being around the elder accomplished Alpha in Wade. And Wade allowed Butler to say poo poo without getting laughed at.

Meanwhile Rondo was able to be the Alpha of the younglings. And protect them from the mean alphas and also stand up for them to the mean coach.


Edit: Wade gets a poo poo ton of money out of this btw

I assume Blake is the PG in that line-up, like how there's Lebron or some Jazz line-ups that have no point guard.

So close to Rondo/Butler having dual triple-doubles. Maybe in game 3.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I have seen the Bulls play enough this season that I'm still fairly confident that this is going to result in the Bulls losing the next four while shooting 30% the rest of the series.
