I hate Danillo Gallinari's game. But he's about to get 20 million a year, and I'm just some dumbass on the internet.

e: and who the hell was LAC bidding against on this one? I'm shocked if there was anyone else offering Gallinari 15.

Clearly as a Spurs fan I can empathize. Why isn't anyone insulting RC Buford? We still have our openly unhappy second fiddle aging PF who as far as I can tell still hasn't come back from the devastating move of unfollowing Spurs social media. I mean, we haven't done anything of value! Just (mostly) resigned a 61 win 2nd place team that was beating the best team in history before Georgian warcrimes.
I'm actually half unironic since the Western arms race of the last X weeks means standing pat is going backwards.

They added Tatum who looks good and Brown looks a bit more mature+refined.

For all the poo poo Ainge is getting, they look like they'll at least make the Conference Finals again and it's conceivable that they could add one or possibky two of Porter, Doncic, Ayton, or Bamba in the summer of 2018.

If LeBron leaves, they're up there with Philly as one of the projected better teams in the East over the next half decade.

I just made it past the KD Capitalist-Communist skirmish and reading the thread reboot in real time made me realize I love all of you.



Also Doc giving up another first that he might actually get to use upsets me. Throwing a first into every deal is what I do in 2K. It is not what an actual GM should be doing.

The current crop of Celtics plus PG or Haywood don't beat LeBrontron or the Warriors anytime soon. In retrospect, Ainge's plan is to use all the Nets assets and Process his way to 2020 with the added luxury of a 50 win team to avoid the flak the Sixers got.

I still have no idea why he wanted Tatum tho
