It was a sign and trade, Charlotte couldn't offer more than Hayward could get from Boston, and Charlotte's contract would have fit in the Turner+McDermott offer anyway. It wasn't that Charlotte came in with a better offer for Hayward, it was that Charlotte meant Hayward could cement the deal without Boston's help (which wouldn't have mattered had Boston just taken the deal).

It's possible Hayward preferred Charlotte but it was pretty widely reported the Pacers were his #1 pick.

The turner part is funnier but they're also in the bottom third of the league for three point percentage so they probably could have gotten some use out of Mcdermott as a floor spacer too

with Haliburton's emergence it's very possible Monte is fine with moving out Hield for a pick

But a heavily protected first round pick is probably too rich for Ainge's blood. maybe we can squeeze 2 future seconds out of him instead

that guy who was on the suns and blogged about it and then got cancelled or whatever was on some podcast and claims that someone was circulating an Anti-Skiles Pamphlet in the 2004 Bulls locker room and I'm cackling about someone printing up a pamphlet attacking Scott Skiles and then handing it to Eddie Curry.

no pamphlet could be as effective at turning a locker room against scott skiles as simply having him coach your team for multiple seasons

One of them is fun to watch, which is presumably part of the fan vote. I'm also not sure I agree. Harden's counting stats are notably better, but Irving's percentages this year have been nuts.

Also, gently caress Brooklyn.

I'd say the Knicks, Hornets, and Pacers are probably happy. The Pacers are right there with everyone else at the .500 level, but their core has been playing out of their minds. Indiana has to feel pretty confident they can actually accomplish something fairly soon.

That's fair, I'm just glad no Celtics made the starting 5. gently caress them.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I guess the thought is that AD probably could play now but I guess the road from calf strain to Achilles tear is a short one so they're just going to ice him for a month. Only 7 games in that month though due to the all star break but the Wizards are the only 'easy' game in the bunch so it might get ugly.
