    assuming the knicks put boston away, it'll be funny to see them have to face the same team that was a thorn in their side the last time they were title contenders 30 years ago

    no reggie miller to kill them this time though

    Jesus Lakers may have had 1-3 more titles.if they had gotten Turner. He's been really really good and he's would have been great fit with AD or Luka

    that jokic 3 to tie the game at 103 gave me flashbacks to the wcf in 23 when he and murray were hitting those ridiculous circus shots every game

    The great shame of the AD and LeBron era is they never got Turner to pair with them. From 22 to 25 I think we win 2 more rings.

    No..they gave Rob 3 options...HE chose poorly! Demar Derozan to this day, still claims that he went to bed, thinking that he was getting traded to the Lakers, but woke up and we traded for Westbrook.

    Interesting thing to watch this summer, will be which teams, are going to be looking to shed salary.

    Boston 227M
    Phoenix 218M
    Cleveland 217M
    Orlando 199M
    Denver 199M
    Knicks. 199M
    Dallas 193M
    Houston 190M

    I suspect that some pretty decent players, might be up for grabs this summer. Brooklyn will probably be a hot spot for a salary dump for picks, since their payroll is projected to be around 63M

    Still, owed 104m over the next 3 seasons. Entering his 17th season... Could be a tough sell IMO without either sweetening the pot or taking back a similar meh contract. They'll have to trim the fat somewhere and he makes the most sense to me.

    Exactly. So many people in media have come out saying they were in the room and it's IMPOSSIBLE to rig it with all of the teams in there.

    Say the Mavs missed the play-in and we're just in the lottery from the jump. They essentially would have needed Kyrie to tear his ACL on purpose for that to happen. With him they're just in the playoffs, most likely.

    just here to correct the record as always: rob had already agreed to a different trade before lebron and AD forced the westbrook issue. we can argue about whether the other trade was a good one (meh, imo), but we can't argue that it wouldn't have been much better had rob just been allowed do his job without co-gms in this instance.

    Holiday is a tough contract to trade because of those 3 seasons, he'll be 37 by the end of it. Maybe the Clippers go for him?

    Boston don't want to trade White or Tatum.

    Not sure anyone picks up KP with his injury issues.

    Horford probably goes elsewhere to ring chase or retires.

    So that leaves Brown as the most likely to be traded to get under the tax right away and bring something valuable back plus picks.

    Boston need to tank for a high pick next season.

    Yeah.. but Zion to NO, right after the AD trade, now Dallas gets the 1st pick, right after the Luka trade?

    So..maybe we should try to lift Banchero and Issac, for Austin, Rui and Dalton?
