D-Rose is like "Hey man, we all gently caress up. Even me. Haha, not really, but seriously"

edit- If he'd done a psych like Neymar and pulled his hand away, IT would have just vanished into a puff of smoke.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Rose is grateful for IT because if IT weren't isolating himself from everyone they might take a second to wonder why Rose had to take a month off during the season to get married

it also helps that Rose is garbage now so he wasn't missed

edit:

the guy below me knows what's up. Trade LeBron to the Raptors or something stupid like that, launch IT into the sun and get more draft picks so next year a bunch of hot young guys can flail around while being mentored by Love

Trade everyone you can, recoup as much assets as you can. Either way dark, dark times await but they can be made less dark by making the intelligent decision and conceding this season

Thoughts?

I always thought David Robinson's 50 was the perfect player-to-number match. It's just a solid, thick, strong, good if slightly boring number that's rounded off, kind of like David's personality (and also his delts).

Trade the Brooklyn pick for Aaron Gordon. The Magic are taking offers. He’s a beast and only 22. He’s better and more developed than anyone who could be drafted at #8. It would be a win for both Gilbert and LeBron

I saw that rumor and came here to see if anyone had brought it up. Getting Gordon for the BKN pick, Cedi, IT, fillers or something. Not sure what combo we could come up with to make that work. I know they're going to be selling high and I'm not sure we have the pieces... However, one can dream. He fits our need for defense and is young and can score. He'd be an amazing fit alongside Love.

Denver takes out OKC and GSW in rapid succession. As that saiyan goes, "HOU's next?" and the answer is the Hornets, and then Houston.

So very many boos tonight in CLE. LBJ better be careful because he's coming dangerously close to a single digit scoring game before passing MJJ next month (or in April) for that streak record.

LBJ, Wilt and MJJ are the only guys with more 50+ games than 9- games. LBJ: 11 vs 8. MJJ 31 vs. 13. Wilt 118 vs. 74

1% is optimistic according to the latest projections.

Latest projections place their championship likelihood more in the .2 to .5% range. Basically an event that occurs once every 200-500 years.

Marcus Smart makes Winning Basketball plays but I can see how they'd want an asset for him because he's such a possible liability in the playoffs. Watching him and Anthony Tolliver just make me think "play the right way" Where guys overcome their lack of athleticism and skills to impact the game. It's like that Zach Lowe Spurs article, the mangaement saying they just want "basketball players" ie guys who know what to do to win games.

I don't know what the celtics need other than Gordon Hayward to come back 100% healthy right now

Just the man I expected to answer, and with a very unsatisfyingly boring answer to a stupid question. Thanks (not being sarcastic).

Why 12? Is there a common positional numbering system similar to soccer of which I’m unaware? I’m just forgetting about a superstar that wore 12 and inspired everybody else, aren’t I

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it they may want to get rid of Smart so they can give his minutes to Rozier. He's a great rebounder for and he can obviously produce his own offense, which the Celtics desperately need.

Now, Smart is a great defender, but he just can't shoot.

What's Boston's biggest need, though? A secondary scorer, probably? Not sure that's an option for just Marcus Smart. Maybe they can get a good 3pt shooter for him, I dunno. I've no idea what a market for him would look like.

My probably wrong theory is that AAU jerseys come in numbers 1-12 and the biggest guy gets 12 and then all those guys are the guys making the NBA.
