and that's ok
There are multiple elite prospects in this draft, it looks to be the best one in years. A core with 3 of the Celtics guys + Fultz + Turner would be pretty incredible (and very cheap)

That's not a bad trade for the Pacers. They would just start building around Turner and potentially the player they draft.
Mudiay lost his starting spot to Jameer Nelson so...
Celtics are on pace for 50 wins with a top 4 pick coming with key players getting paid nothing. The end game is longevity and getting past the Cavs and GS. Not get a little better and gutting the team.
Who's Fultz's comp? And would you give up 2 of the young Celtics (Bradley + Brown?) with the Nets pick?
I know the Celtics situation. Just saying they need to give up a lot to get a player is good as Paul George.

The Green-teamer force is strong.....
Picks, picks and more picks. Keep the picks coming. Let's stock pile young talent and picks until they spill over into Europe and then get more picks! Go Green go!

That's a bad trade for both. Pacers are not getting franchise players in there, and Boston is destroying what they have established right now.

Both Thomas and Bradley's contracts are up after next year. The Celtic's salary cap situation is going to get much less favorable after that.
He's a 6'4" PG who can create his own shot and get to the basket with ease. I see a bit of Harden in him.
And yes I think that would be the perfect deal for us.

A package centered around Mason Plumlee.
If the Celtics draft a stud point guard, they would be wise to trade Thomas. That's the smart thing to do. That's what Hinkie would do.
Your ignoring that George isn't happy with the current situation and will leave if the don't become a contender. This would be a really good return for him.

George is LA bound and everyone knows it. Well, Westbrook said the same thing last year, but, who knows...
He's happy with the Pacers right now. Plus he'll get more money from re-signing. It's not like he's on a bad situation right now.

Tough spot for the Celtics, but in the best way.
I can see trying to build around young talent, but that's a long process. IT is cheap, right now, but guys like him, Bradley, Smart, etc. are going to get paid at some point. At the same time Al Horford isn't getting any younger. If you wait for these guys to develop, you're likely going to have to replace him with someone else down the road.

I'm starting to think we're hearing too much about George and too little about Butler.
contrary to all of today's reports?

Taj Gibson and Doug McBuckets will be traded to OKC according to Twitter...this freaking front office...trading away a class act like Taj...
I haven't heard that name in a long while.

Yet his agent apparently told Denver he wouldn't sign with them because they can't compete with the Warriors and Spurs.
lol RIP Nuggets

No, Danny must stock pile those picks for when the zombie apocalypse happens. I'm sure they will be worth it at that point.
Isn't his only considerations right now are Indiana and LA? I don't think he's that excited being traded elsewhere given the rumors from his camp.
Scal is really good on air, and that red hair just glows on screen.
I think they are both FAs
PG is from the LA area IIRC; hence why he wants to go back.
He's saving them to draft small point guards.
So weird, I don't understand why George would be unhappy with the direction of the Pa-"[Amick] On that front, I'm told Pacers' Larry Bird is still trying to get Paul George help as deadline nears: talking with Kings about Arron Afflalo"
oh ok yeah you should probably leave Indiana

Hibbert to the Nuggets.
The current reports are that he wants to go to LA unless the Pacers put a contender together asap.
Isn't IT + #1 pick redundant?

Can someone explain to me why Derrick Rose seems to not care about anything, he seems like the biggest passive aggressive NBA player I have ever seen. He never seems to have an opinion on anything, whats his problem?
He is the least passionate NBA player I have ever seen. Its like he hates playing or something.
I saw him after the first knee injury where he was crying thanking the fans, I was like this dude is cool. Now he seems so what ever. What happened? Did he get scorned by someone?

This is good news for the Lakers if George really wants to come to LA.

Yup, dude doesn't have to lift a finger the rest of his life is he doesn't want to....
But he has ASSETS yo.
Well I don't know if any of the LA teams can provide good offers for George anyway.
