Monk seems destined to go to Philly. Only way it doesn't happen is if they go into top 3 and get Fultz, but don't get the Lakers pick.

Na no way. He'd be Evan Turner part 2. Fultz, Monk, Jackson, and Fox are on my radar.
I'm just not sure what other teams would do with him.

Again, Phoenix. They already have Chriss, Booker, Bender, Ulis, Bender, Bledsoe, and a vet. big man to set screen in Tyson Chandler. If his shot is so utterly borked without extra space, well, he's not even close to being the main perimeter threat on that team.
Other main candidate is Boston. They already have a ton of guards, Lonzo is 6'6'', they don't really have a distributor that goes above and beyond when it comes to passing the ball around, and they have scoring threats that take pressure off Lonzo.
The only scoring threat Phoenix and Boston have are guards...
Ball needs to be a Lakers so after every L I can read the tweets of his dad blaming the coach and teammates as the West guards torch him for 30 every other night. He's a terrible fit on Boston but they would take them if they had too. Sanjo said it. A passer around no shooters is stupid. Generating shots is not a Celtic issue. Hitting them is.

Good recovery after a horrible start. We've been getting fucked by goal tending calls lately...

Jackson or Monk would probably be great fits for Philly's current roster (assuming Embiid and Simmons are healthy). Monk would feast on all of the attention those guys draw away.

Isn't Simmons supposed to be the Sixers PG?
Probably has been mentioned before, but with Simmons as the ball-handler they could play Monk as their PG while he's mostly off ball. I think Philly is the best spot for Monk.

If Monk doesn't end up on the Sixers something has either gone wrong or they got Fultz
Not saying he should be their number 2 choice, I'm saying it seems too perfect

They'll run him as the primary ball handler from the 3 or 4 but he won't defend other teams PG's.

Biggest need is a guard/wing with a high scoring ceiling so Monk makes a lot of sense and so does Fultz/Jackson. I really like Ball but you'd end up getting diminishing returns with he and Simmons on the court at one time since their skill sets cross over so much.

You can also never have too many guys that can handle the ball or create offense in today's NBA.

He wants that extra $45 million. Which is probably good for the Lakers because it makes it less likely Magic guts the roster for him.
If that makes him stay, that's good for the Pacers too.

Nah, it's the lance stephenson effect
You aren't excited to see a team of Paul George, Lonzo Ball, Mosgov, Deng, and d-leaguers?
Edit: heck, scratch Lonzo from that lineup
Lance feels at home as a Pacer. I dunno why he left in the first place.

Bad advice from a former agent. He knows he messed up and learned his lesson. It's great to have him back!

Looks like the 8th seed in the East is going to come down to whether or not the Nets want to be dream-ruiners for the Bulls. lol
He'd play 4 most likely but just play 1 on offense
The only lottery players that I think are gonna suck are Tatum and Jackson

Sometimes you can tell which players have experience being stars.
Deron Williams is having one of those sorts of nights

LOL at that flop!!!
How does Spo not call a time out? WTF was that.
EDIT: Twice he didn't call it.

Who am I supposed to root for here. I wanna root for the Heat, but the Lebron-less Cavs are a compelling story too.
Also why has Deron Williams had so many minutes playing with Kyrie and Lebron? He can run their bench offense, ffs
At the beginning of the game there was a blurry spot on the center-right area of the camera

Honestly think the Cavs want the #2 seed. They just don't seem to give a crap.

Any chance the Pacers get the 6th seed?

Bucks are 3-1 over Pacers, so they have to lose to Hornets (not happening btw, Bucks up 15 with a minute left) and then lose to Boston (team they match up well with)

Fuck it, give the Heat this win, but play this same squad against Toronto and win that game. Giannis goes off for a quadruple double to beat Boston

This is about where Dion says "screw you Coach", jumps into the game, nails a half court buzzer beater to win the game, crowd goes wild

Nah, they'll probably lose. They were ready for it when they sat Kyrie and LeBron.
