Meh I guess I'm in the minority but I felt the Celtics did fine.
They have like 20 picks or something obscene in the next 2-3 years. He had to turn that into stars now or it's gonna be a never-ending line of projects that will leave for pay days.

IT4 is 3 years older than Kyrie and he statistically had the worse defensive numbers in the ENTIRE LEAGUE, that's 360 players and he came in at #360!
He just had major hip surgery and he put up those offensive numbers on a team that had no reliable scorer, the next "threat" was Avery Bradley. He already stated he wants a Max contract next season for a 1-dimensional Nate Robinson.

Kyrie is arguable the best ball handler and one of the quickest guards in the league, that was almost as important in getting the ring as Lebron.
Getting him for IT4, Crowder who was already on the trading block due to logjam at forward (Hayward, Tatum) , an unproven rookie and 1 of the Celtics 5000 draft picks was ok in my books.

Edit: nevermind about auction draft. just did a mock draft of it and, while it was really interesting, i don't think we're hardcore enough for it yet

Note: One big change I'm thinking of trying this year is switching from a Standard Draft to an Auction Draft. I'm not set on it but it could be a fun change. We'll see what you all think of the idea..
Is there a buy in this year?

Wiggins is gonna get paid big time with his max contract signing.

5 year contract, 148 million US. -plenty of paper.

He was gonna be an RFA next summer.

Don't get why players want to join a western team...I figured if anything for a championship opportunity, join an Eastern team LOL. Western is hard to win as the top teams are heavily stacked...

With the small ball movement now, totally makes sense to have Mel and PG at the 3 and 4. Westbrook runs point and Khal Drogo holding the paint.
Not sure who fills in the 2 spot though. Maybe they sign Wade?

Ohh man the Cavs got some serious depth going into this season.

Starting:
Rose - depending on how he performs the first 2 months of the season. Would swap with IT when he returns from surgery.
Wade - As interesting it would be to see a semi-washed up Chicagoan backcourt, it wouldn't work as they are both slashers. His ego definitely won't let him come off the bench.
Lebron - Lebron gonna Lebron
Crowder - Tenacious defender and can spread the floor more than TT with 2 slashing guards.
Love - Same as above, addresses the lack of 3pt threat in the line-up

2nd Unit: - JR and Shump can cover for IT's defensive shortcomings. TT in the paint.
Isaiah Thomas
JR Smith
Shumpert
Tristan Thompson
Frye

Heck even the 3rd string can compete with the likes of the Nets or Knicks starters lmao.
Calderon - No idea know why they signed him lol
Kyle Korver - Would be a starter on pretty much every other team in the East
Richard Jefferson - Veteran presence
Jeff Green - Same as Korver, would start on at least half the teams in the league. Here he is the 13th man at the end of the bench refilling the Gatorade bucket.
Ante Zizic - Decent prospect, probably won't get any meaningful minutes unless a big gets injured.

The Official NBA thread

Westbrook trolls KD by announcing his contract extension on KD's birthday today.



5 year, 205 million US contract extension. -biggest contract in NBA history:

This year is going to be crazy! probably one of the most hype seasons of all time. Unfortunately if GS stays healthy I can't see them losing in 7 but Cleveland is much improved this year. If IT comes back to playing the form he was in last year watch out.

The winning team will also get a donation for their charity of choice so they at least have something to play for. Chris Paul is right, the last half decade of All-Star games have been pretty lame. It was like watching lay-up drills.

Does the last player picked by a captain get a consolation prize like the way it in the NHL All star game?

A KIA for the last player?
