NBA Chatter Thread

Bulls apparently offered Butler for 5 and LaVine, wanting Dunn. I mean, I like Dunn, but that's a shit return for Butler, the only upside there is you're getting a nice prospect and should be a contender for a top 3 pick next year.

I don't buy it. Boston inquired about Butler and was offering the 3rd pick and they wouldn't bite. No way they could covet Dunn like that and expect to be there at 5. I'm sure Ainge would have offered another player as well.

Yep...if they got a shooter then they would challenge for an NBA title.

You're right, shooting in basketball isn't important.

Not what I said at all...but ok.

Do you realize how bad of a shooter Simmons is?

He literally doesn't take shots outside of the paint, playing him at the 3 with some combo of Noel/Okafor/Embiid is suicide.

I like Dunn, I'm just saying that lineup is poorly constructed.

You are way overstating Simmons' shooting deficiencies. Not to mention he's a teenager and will improve.

Arvydas Sabonis sounds like Mutumbo.

I really like Valentine...good pick.

He got 19/12/5...I heard those were good numbers.

Caris Levert would have been a top 10 pick if healthy. Sleeper.

~patiently waiting for a Celtics proposed trade graphic so I can understand what Danny Ainge is doing~

Beasley makes sense to get dealt to Philly.

You guys should hire Hinkie.

I love Levert.

 

[Carp]

WTF is Ainge doing?

 

[Carp]

I want Jackson.

This Davis kid is an idiot...no idea who is advising them.

Classic Bulls pick, high floor, low ceiling, 4 year college player/leader type. I'm sure he'll play an integral role in the 49 win 2019 Bulls team that goes out 4-2 in the 2nd round.

He took like 85% of his shots in the paint last year. He barely attempted anything beyond like 10 feet. He can and will get better but the guy literally can't shoot right now.

Seeing some comparisons of Jaylen Brown to Jimmy Butler. I don't see it, but I'll take it.

What is the point here? That the Sixers should have drafted a lesser talent?

I don't know if he's advocating it, but I don't see Ingram as a lesser talent. Better shooter and defender.
