Lakers brehs: how do you feel about getting Brook Lopez? I know dude's an all-star center but my two main gripes about him have been: 1. he's obviously injury prone and 2. he seems allergic to rebounding despite being 7ft.

He's obviously an upgrade for your frontcourt scoring. :ld:

The Celtics are NBA blue balls. They've been in "play" for almost every major free agent, or star in a trade scenario. Durant, Cousins, Okafor, Butler, George, Griffin, Hayward, Davis. So far they've signed Horford to a max contract and traded the 1 pick to the Sixers.

The coli should have a moratorium on discussions involving this pump faking franchise until further notice.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
This is essentially hoarding, you want the most valuable thing in a trade without giving up anything of value to get it even though by getting that asset you're devaluing what you don't want to trade. There's no way to develop Tatum and Brown properly if Hayward and George are in their way for 3+ years. Matter of fact PG & Hayward are 26 and 27, they are both young enough that having two lottery picks playing behind them is just stupid.

Either one of two things happens in that scenario, they suck or they play extremely well and get max offers when their contracts are up and yet the two guys in front of them will only be 30-31.

Doesn't mean we should just give either away. Either way, it's not something we need to figure out this season. Let's not forget all 4 guys can arguably play 3-4 positions and are the ideal size heading into where the league is going

So Horford at center with Gordon Hayward at PF? Yall would get molested on the glass by the softest of teams.

Brook has played 70+ games in all but two seasons. You really need to let go of the "injury prone" stuff

You do realize this is President Brad Stevens right?

For all the dumb shyt you're spewing, you gonna tell me jaylen's value didn't go up the past year even tho he wasn't getting 35 mpg on a losing team?

Paul George or not, Tatum will get opportunities


You don't get it, Brown's value was at it's highest when he was drafted, the more he plays and the more he comes off the bench the lower his value will get.

If you think Tatum, a year from now coming off the bench for PG/Hayward will have as much value as he has now you're buggin. Taking a SF, then getting two all-star SFs will hurt him in the long run, please show me all these top 10 picks who come off the bench for years. It would make no sense to get PG/Hayward and then keep Brown/Tatum.
