    The amount of dudes on CL that day gushing over Andrew's arms will live rent free in my head forever.

    That trade will take them over the top if Porzingis pans out

    Boston trade Williams .
    They were thinking sometimes that he's better version of Shaq and Hakeem together

    yeah, i think the team did a good job of pumping his value by keeping his minutes and role minimal, so he looks great in film and in stats, but he's not very good. horford always played their important minutes, imo. so they traded a big bag of nothing for holiday.

    that said, holiday's not young, horford's ancient, and porzingis is 7'3" with a loooonnng injury history.

    I feel like Portland got BETTER, but I guess we’ll see. I want to wait and see how he does with Tatum and Brown. That should be a good team, but I don’t know yet if they’ll be amazing.

    it’ll be a fun season though.

    As good as this was for Boston, guards are going to hunt The Unicorn in P&R switches still. The Unicorn is as brittle of a big man as there is. And Horford is 50 years old. If both don't play the bulk of the season AND aren't healthy for the post-season then they're going to get cooked.

    They have to address the frontcourt at some point in the year and I'm not sure what assets they have left to sell off.

    I'm just glad Jrue didn't end up on the Clips.

    Boston definitely needed to replace Smart, especially after the Bucks got Lillard. BUT I don't think they got extremely better... if anything their big men rotation is even more fragile now. Williams isn't great but he could have ate regular season mins to help keep Horford and Porzingas healthy.

    Good deal for Boston. Hurts me to say it, but have to give them some props here. They should be good.

    Suns first injury didn't happen to KD, Book, Beal, Nurk... I'm shocked



    He was a 20 MPG player for them last year and one of their best 3 point shooters.

    IDK...The C Bags are going to go through an entire season and the playoffs, with the Unicorn and Horford as their bigs? I'm not sure, if they are really any better than Miami today. They are about to lock up a ton of long-term cash into Holliday, Brown and Tatum..is that a Championship favorite caliber trio?

    it's one of those things: 2 first-rounders + 2 useful players is a bit of an overpay for Jrue, but if they win a ring no one is going to care.

    C Bags just signed Queta, a young defensive center that finished 2nd in G-league MVP voting,
