i was just lucky that as a kid that i picked david robinson as my favorite player and then the spurs got duncan like 5 years later.

anyway, if anyone wanted to see a picture that perfectly encapsulates why everyone in the world should hate the warriors now here you go:

gently caress the warriors

gently caress whoever made this picture.

Is it better for the Celtics to go for it now by signing Hayward and maybe adding Jimmy or try to build around Fultz, Jaylen Brown and the 2018 pick?

I might be late to this discussion, but do the Celtics even need Butler?

I think IT/Fultz/Hayward/Horford/etc is a pretty good lineup to have.

I think they need to try and ship IT while his stock is high, his offensive production is great but he is basically putting his team through a 4v5 on one half of the ball.

Plus if they start calling his carries, he is going to be really screwed on the other end as well

If they can get a good pick and a defensive big for IT, I'd do it. Fultz/Bradley/Hayward/Horford/new big guy.

Griffin for a win now attempt, Hayward for a more stable future. I would love either one obviously and the chances are against signing either of them so it's more about which one would play for Boston

Well I'm a Butler man and I feel like you have a really good chance at getting Hayward. The fact that his college coach is now an NBA coach is just something that can't be ignored. If the choice was mine, I'd focus on getting Hayward, trade IT, draft Fultz, and build around that. Hayward is only 27 and Stevens is a younger coach too. Focus on making their run the season after next.

Well it's a moot point because right now I think Indiana is going to ride this upcoming season out with him and hope that he gets All-NBA next year. I don't see another team offering a high first for him because of the fact that he can leave after next season.

And Magic is the one dumb motherfucker that I could see trading for PG this season because he's just a dumb motherfucker. But I've been wrong many times before, so I wouldn't be shocked if a trade of some sort did happen.

The offseason is the most exciting because it's not about the signings as much as seeing how long-standing teams like the Cavs and Clippers deal with horrific cap situations with no way to improve on talent.

What exactly are the Clippers with no assets, letting JJ Reddick walk, and then maxing out CP3 and Blake? Will Wesley Johnson finally see the light of day after randomly getting the full MLE?

Yes let JJ walk so the Pacers can sign him.

I am currently arguing with an idiot Pacer fan on Facebook who thinks it's a great idea to trade PG AND Thad Young for Love. Then he thinks Hayward is coming to Indy and that we'll roll out a starting lineup of Teague/CJ Miles/Hayward/Love/Turner. He also wants to draft Swanigan with our first rounder.

Good. Lord.

I feel very confident in predicting that this dude is also one of those IU fans who thought Stevens would leave the Celtics to coach for them. People in Indiana really overestimate how badly people from there want to go back.

I dunno. Maybe. The fact that he wants Swanigan's fatass leads me to believe he's a Purdue guy. But yes, the average Indiana sports fan is a moron.

He's probably got a better chance at a title at IU, to be honest.

I still believe if he didn't leave for the NBA, Butler would have landed Trey Lyles and Trecon Blueitt and have a chance at a title with Stevens at the helm.

What in the entire history of the NBA Pacers makes you think they know what they are doing or will make decisions that improve the team? Enjoy games, watch cool plays and players while they are forced to be here, if they make the playoffs that's a bonus. This aint a Championship chasing team.

gently caress that, send him somewhere awesome for cheap so he can get some rings. He is fun as gently caress to watch and deserves some happiness. He sure as hell has given me a few years of it.

Oh I know this franchise won't ever win a title. But drat I at least want them to consistently make the playoffs and do cool stuff.

I'm on the fence with PG because Bird really hosed things up and acts like a huge rear end in a top hat. PG didn't deserve that.

But then he doesn't do himself any favors by acting like a childish bitch half the time. Or telling everyone he's focused on winning championships in Indiana and playing here and then two days later having your agent leak this poo poo.

They gotta match salaries so some has to go. They have no one expiring with a big contract and no assets except post Lebron picks. Dumping Kyrie or Love would be the only option unless Pacers like the idea of a TT Turner froncourt and that seems extremely lateral to me. Don't see it happening, but maybe TT plus a far future pick and Phoenix gets a second for Chandler? Far fetched

I wouldn't mind TT. I might be the only one though. I've always thought Turner was more a natural 4 than a 5, especially as his jumper improves.

I'd laugh my rear end off if we trade PG and then go out and sign Hayward.

Love has been absolute garbage against the Warriors the last 2 years, so I can see the Cavs interest if they feel like a winning team would keep PG around, which I bet it would. As for Indy getting Love, well he's a white star player so they'd like it, but he'd be a terrible fit next to Turner. Just trade him to whatever team with cap room will give you the best pick and throw all your money at Hayward. When that doesn't work, do a full rebuild. That's my plan but the owners won't do that because rebuilds mean no money.

Yeah I really wish Simon would just kick the bucket already.

Just looking at their history, Indy would absolutely chase a 30-win season.

Yeah dude I would be shocked if the franchise ever tanked. That's just because in addition to Simon being a cheapass, he's also a moron. Look at what happened after the malice in the palace: didn't tank and eventually we ended up with Granger who was picked 17th in '05. PG was drafted 10th. They haven't had a Top 5 pick since '86.

Now as a Butler man who has liked how Hayward has grown, I would not mind chasing him. Especially if we can flip PG for a player and a first for this year.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:

If Indy is dumb enough to try to make the playoffs without PG, I would guess they would try to sign a couple role players and then re-sign Teague and Miles. But that would likely put them in an even worse position. If you thought Turner, Parsons, and Biyombo's contracts were bad, just wait until you see how much Dion Waiters would need to move to Indy and play on a team centered around Teague/CJ Miles/Lance/Thad/Myles and Big All.

I think Pritchard is too smart to try to re-sign Teague and CJ Miles. I expect a full rebuild.

Simon won't allow it. They have never tanked. They'll re-sign both and go after Hayward so they can show the fans that they tried and it's all PG's fault and not theirs.
