:mjlol: Yall nikkas are so desperate for Kyrie to NY. Such wishful thinking in this thread. Every credible insider takes Kyrie resigning with Boston over the field. The C's will be running the East for the next decade. Might as well make peace with it now.

You're cool with an All-Star just WALKING??? Dude, no way that makes sense.

Yeah :ehh:

We’ll still have have Hayward, Horford, a more experienced Brown/Tatum/Rozier, plus we’re likely getting a high lottery pick from Sacramento and possibly another lottery pick from Memphis

Celtics will be fine regardless

They would be fine, they'd be even BETTER if they'd use Kyrie to get something else they need.

TC, Ap
47 players will be making more than Zach this season.

How is he getting paid like a top 25 guy?

Those elite players making 30+ now.

how you gonna look it up and prove me wrong? :francis:

I see it like this..

  • Dunn= All Defensive Team caliber PG, Most improved player contender
  • Zach= Fringe All-Star, Come back player of the year contender
  • Lauri= Potential perennial All star player

and we were shytty enough to get Wendell Carter who will be in contention for the All Rookie Team.

That's how I'm seeing it, so that translates to fleeced since Jimmy won't even be in Minnesota and we got all that to kick start the rebuild.
I mean the Bulls came out well but at the time it was the Wolves getting a top 10-15 guy who had them at the #3 seed in the West before he got hurt while the Bulls got 1 guy who may never be a starting pg on a good team and a gunner. Lauri was the will win there and he was a great pick but it was a pick swap. Most folks thought the Bulls needed to get more than that. Of course Lauri was better than most people thought too so :yeshrug:

Of course it’s a fleece. Chicago got a starting point guard, a great asset ( Lauri) and a number 3 player (Zach), while Minnesota will end up with pennies on the dollar once they trade Butler ( or lose him for nothing).

It's only a 'fleece' if the Butler thing doesn't work out here. Just like it ain't a fleece if the Bulls are winning 35 games with that core in 3 years. Its all hindsight. At the time everyone was saying the Bulls should've gotten more than a pick swap and 2 fringe starters for an all star

Actually that is not true. There are some that said he'll resign with Bostons. There are quite a few others that say the opposite.

...and with the rumors of Jimmy and Kyrie wanting to play together, you don't think it's a LITTLE bit curious he wants to go to three teams that have ZERO chance of winning, but two being destinations connected to Kyrie??

:wow: Marks is incredible, never thought we'd be at this point already. From the bottom of the bottom 3 years ago, to a preferred destination for players

Whether it happens or not, its just as big that we're back on the radar

It really is.. and the good thing is i got all trust in him not to pull a billy king move with this :blessed:
