    They're better than Miami because Miami lost two starters and didn't replace them. I still don't think they're done tickering because this is not a serious roster

    But I do highly doubt the durability of the C bag front court. And hopefully locking that much money into pieces that are aging, don't fit or aren't healthy will help push Tatum out of Boston and he'll head this way.

    Why Wenyen, why?!

    Doesn't even look to be guaranteed. And it seems they're making him wear high heels cause that's the only way he's 7 foot

    Jrue Holiday now makes the C Bags the favorites to win the East and the championship. He's a more valuable player than Dame - defender, playmaker, baller, leader, blender, winner. Dame is just more fun to watch. Celts coach must stay out of the way but congrats to them: JRUE!

    Ugh. Not as bad as Jrue to the Clips but not good. I still don't think the C Bags have enough to get over but Holiday helps immensely after letting go of Smart. I still think they will be too old/fragile in the front court to get over but the showdown between Dame and Jrue will be epic. LOL at Gabriel being a 7 footer. Bummed he is going the C Bags though. Loved his energy here as a Laker. He's still too skinny and not strong enough to give Giannis much of a problem on D.

    Whatever. Let's get to the Finals and beat one of these two teams. Wish we could have gotten Jrue but it is what it is.

    Is there a more used, more inaccurate descriptive phrase in the NBA? Maybe. But "You're a 7 footer, you're a 7 footer, you're a 7 footer ..... "

    They're going to get some more assets when they move Brogdon. Impressed they took a guy with a max contract whose ancient for a small guard and really moved forward in the rebuild

    C Bags will eventually have to make a move to strengthen their frontcourt or else giannis will feast on porzingis/horford. the funny thing is that smart was their best giannis defender because of how good he is at taking charges

    AI is getting better at narrating but that threw me off. It almost had me convinced a real person was reading that for a second.

    Comical that Miami's lowballing basically led to their two strongest rivals getting stronger.
