The real question is: will the Cleveland Cavaliers be the first team ever to go 12-0 through the first three rounds before ending the playoffs 12-4

cavs going 16-3 next year after lebron rests during the first round against the nets

Ainge is doing a terrible job of valuing his draft picks, which I think is pretty stupid. Paul George is an All-NBA (at worst All-Star) player. The probability of him resigning, even if we conservatively put it at 25% (which I think is ridiculously low if he went to the Celtics), is much higher than the probability of getting similar value from a future draft pick.

Having the guy on a 1-year contract also gives you a ton of flexibility for the next year.

this is from forever ago but yeah, about the worst possible thing the celtics could do from their incredible position is use all their draft picks to draft players. the only way those picks end up being better expected value is if they luck out and get a 1st overall.... which they did and then immediately traded it for more picks cause i guess danny ainge just really wants to draft a bunch of random rookies as if his team was the process 76ers and not the 1st seed with a ton of room for growth.

Demarcus Cousins is making 18m next year, if Joe Ingles makes more than Demarcus Cousins, well, I'll laugh about that

NBA players making 40m a year is so crazy. At least they work for a living and aren't complete parasites like the NBA owners. They have to pay taxes, too

Jesus loving Christ, the NBA is too much sometimes

Also, the PG trade confirms that he is gone because I can't imagine that he couldn't bring back a better haul unless everyone was convinced he was bolting for LA

Interesting. PG trade is two teams jettisoning contracts they didn't want.

Should make me hopeful, but Motherfuck Melo and his No Trade Clause, I've read so much garbage about him last few days. Knicks fans don't understand how immovable he is and think they're going to get something in return for that sack of poo poo who doesn't even want to move

They sentenced their down-syndrome-lookin rape cop to 263 years in jail over a year ago! The force is clean now!

I guess the Terence Crutcher shooting happened since then, but that was Tulsa, and she'll go on trial for that in September. If you aren't big enough to be a bouncer you shouldn't be allowed to be a cop. "I was afraid" is some bullshit.
