Rockets just getting absolutely demolished in the paint
Even if that were true, that doesn't mean he doesn't have value. Fortunately, the Celtics have a lot of relatively proven young assets. I think they'd give up Crowder more easily than him, though I agree they'd deal him quicker than Smart or Brown.
No way, crowder is a much better piece than Avery. I honestly don't think Avery has much value. His offensive game is limited and his defense is overrated.
Edit- Tom I sincerely doubt Philly parts with nerlens for ab.
It is true though. Let's say we are talking with Chicago or Sacramento, they are looking for Brown/Smart/picks.
Bradley would be a higher value to a more established team dealing less. I'm not saying he is dog meat, but that is the way it is.
Well I mean this is what I was responding to:
Having less value than Brown or Smart does not equal no value. Literally any team in the NBA would be thrilled to have Avery Bradley on their team, particularly the contenders. I agree for those particular suitors, he's less attractive.
I'm talking about the Celtics position though. We are trading to make a run. Teams making a run would be interested in Bradley. It makes less sense to trade him unless we are in some kind of future mode.
In that sense, his value is dick. Any team looking to fleece us is now looking at our other assets.
But does a late first rounder really equate to much if that's what he could fetch?
At least their twitter account is hilarious tonight.
They're not trading him for that, and they're clearly not trading him in a vacuum. All I'm saying is he's a valuable player. I agree that it's less likely he gets traded for all those reasons.
17 ppg scorer sits out 10 games after playing at a near all-star an all the sudden he's garbage...

We seriously came alive from the 3 in the 4th quarter.
Dammit the Rockets look so damn good when our 3s are falling. Think we might have had that had Beverley not gone out and Harden not had to worry about 5 fouls

Lakers got it on lock. They aren't even hiding tank mode anymore.
Face it Tiger..

To be fair I've been saying all year that his defense has been awful. Him and Crowder came in noticably sluggish. Crowder turned it around, Avery never did. Again they're advanced stats and don't tell the whole story but he is ranked wayyyyyyyyy down the list. He was terrible off and on the ball this year. He also doesn't move the ball well. He's not garbage, but I think his value is basically late first rounder. Take away the perception of "elite", defense and what do you really have? A good shooter, with a serviceable mid range game.
The stage is set for the kings to lose. Warriors coming off of a horrible loss and kings won 4 in a row.
But.. Believe.
Tanking???
I'm sorry I don't understand the question.
He doesn't have the playmaking ability, but as a scorer? Smart is slowly developing his offensive game to compliment him to a lesser degree.

Would be amazing/
Might even see half the fans at Oracle with crayoned over Kings jerseys by the end of the game

I didn't watch the game but is it true Young had another somewhat competent game?

Korver and even Derrick Williams looking fantastic again. Hell, Williams threw a Love-esque pass to Korver who freaking Dunked it. Didn't even know Kyle could do that!
Hopefully you and that Darth Maul Star Wars fan aren't in the shitposter tier.
Oh. You quoted him above.
-_-
He had another 10 point game, came up with some clutch plays. Scored in a few different ways. Too little too late though.

We should trade him for Noel right now while his value is so high.

I hope someone is able to give him the proper directions to the old folks home he's escaped from.

Man, Wiggins is literally the GOAT now that Lavine is gone. Holy fucking balls hes on fire.
RIP Jokic, you were going to be a great player too! Such a shame to lose someone with that kind of talent so early in his career. https://twitter.com/ESPNNBA/status/832078187945459714

It's a shame the media will probably end up sleeping on Spoelstra when it comes time for Coach of the Year.

Sacramento weirdly keeping in the game, nailing 3s, Warriors looking sluggish, Boogie somehow makes a circus shot after he got a foul before Draymond does a double technical and gets ejected. Y'know, Draymond, the sort of player you DON'T want getting ejected when your team is looking sluggish and 2 of your bigs are out against one of the best centers in the game.
I have hope that Kings get this now
Lavine is still great, Wiggins is just in his natural position now

I usually like Green but he acted like a jackass. So stupid even if the refs got it wrong, which they didn't.

First pick here we come!
GO LAKERS!

Lol I don't even get it. He fouled him and just exploded.

I mean Korver is 6'7" what high school player over 6'3" can't dunk?
