Support NeoGAF

[Jarate]

No it will end like bleach, giant pile of flaming crap

Breh Sam Hinkie is Oda

 

[Cornbread78]

Wow, I knew the alt-right infiltrated GAF but I never thought they'd bring anime back into this thread. They've gone too far this time.

 

[Chase17]

Breh Sam Hinkie is Oda

That means Ainge is Togashi.

Builds the assets then goes on hiatus.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Fucking weebs.

 

[Kickz]

Sam Hinkie is Dr Gero

Perfect Cell is Joel Embiid after absorbing Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz, and im not talking about Goku Fight Perfect Cell, Im talking about Post Failing To Kill Myself and Somehow Surviving and turning into the ultimate form

we'll lose out to Gohan at the end (The Phoenix Suns), but at least we beat Goku and everyone else

And Thibodeau is the Namekian leader who births Namekians

The last few posts may as well be written in Chinese as far I am concerned.

The quiet before free agency is excruciating.

I watched a lot of dbz as a kid and my eyes glassed over reading those posts.

 

[BlackGhost]

Lock Ainge up before free agency starts.

 

[LyleLanley]

Lock Ainge up before free agency starts.

Throw him in the vault with the assets.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Lock Ainge up before free agency starts.

He'll be locked up for fraud soon enough. These picks and assets are a Ponzi scheme

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Pretty sure Ainge is going to come out of this offseason mostly empty and the team will be worse next year.

 

[LionPride]

Jimmy Buckets was playin spades with Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, and Melo when he got traded

Don't worry, I watch anime and I'm still not weeb enough to understand a word of that either....


Anyhow. On the "quiet" yeah.... All the chatter in the last 48 hours has been completely contradictory from the earlier reports that were coming out, so I'm really not too excited about things.....

and well, what Lyle says...

Throw him in the vault with the assets.

"assets"

[Lionel Richie]

Can't get enough of these hot takes on race issues in Boston because of Hayward.

It was tiresome before it even started. Free agency is just taking forever right now.

 

[StanleyStutters]

I think we have a good shot at Hayward, but the PG trade feels like it's not going to happen. Basing that on nothing other than the fact that these trades seem to fall through all the time for us.

 

[LyleLanley]

Eh, even if they just bring back essentially the same team with three first round picks replacing a few guys I don't see a way in which they don't improve.

 

[Cornbread78]

Eh, even if they just bring back essentially the same team with three first round picks replacing a few guys I don't see a way in which they don't improve.

Regardless, they still need another scorer and a big that can put his arms up and catch a rebound or two.


What do you think their "Plan B" options are in Free agency? I keep looking at those Free agent lists and can't stop thinking we are going to get stuck with Hibbert/Hawes for a big and Gay/Illyasova for a "scorer"


Did Gallinari opt out yet?

 

[friskykillface]

Yeeessshhhh at that trade offer

Brown

Lakers pick

And he's not even gonna resign
Holy shit Pacers, fuck off

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HA


Get that dirty bullshit away

 

[Starphoenix]

I'd like to see the Spurs make a run at Millsap. Might be hard to wrestle him away from Houston if they cannot get PG or Melo.

Yeah, they are trying to leverage the Celtics against LA and Houston. Like, WTF would they bother trying to do that when everyone, but LA, would only get him for 1 year.....

I'd risk hoping that Zizic can be that big. I think the real plan B is to punt until next offseason. No point messing up future cap space on middling guys.

Yeah, fuck that. If he's not making a long term decision until next year I can't see them getting more than Crowder, Smart, and Memphis.

 

[Cornbread78]

I begrudgingly agree....

I just don't know if I can stomach getting the same press conference we get from Danny 3 times a year (after the draft, free agency and the trading deadline) about being "close to a deal" blah, blah, blah, blah...

 

[CopperPuppy]

Haikyuu = GOAT and is thus an exception.

I don't know where you saw this but I can tell you that it's bullshit

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The Pacers don't want to make a deal. Maybe they are hoping teams will get more desperate at the deadline:

 

[Cornbread78]

I don't know where you saw this but I can tell you that it's bullshit

The last one I heard was the one jbug posted a couple days ago, which was still absurd BS at best. I hope the pacers get Gasol'd at the trading deadline for him now...

The Pacers don't want to make a deal. Maybe they are hoping teams will get more desperate at the deadline:

Nah, at the deadline, they are only going to get offers from play-off teams, which means the draft pick offerings are going to suck for them, lol.

 

[commish]

The Pacers don't want to make a deal. Maybe they are hoping teams will get more desperate at the deadline:

Probably their best move, tbh. They don't have much leverage.

 

[Bread]

The last one I heard was the one jbug posted a couple days ago, which was still absurd BS at best. I hope the pacers get Gasol'd at the trading deadline for him now...

I'm sure the Pacers would love to be" Gasol'd", since that gave the Grizzlies their franchise C.

dammit, imagine it without Marc, lol

I mean

We gor Marc in the trade, someone I'll argue as a complete player was better than Pau because of his remarkable defense

So....

 

[friskykillface]

I don't know where you saw this but I can tell you that it's bullshit

I heard it on 98.5 a half hour ago

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I heard it on 98.5 a half hour ago

I get news from 99.44. Nothing less, nothing more.

I'm just saying it's got to be pure, that's for sure.




I have no idea where I'm going with this, but I want my clean as clean as Ivory.

Speaking of ivory

 

[Cornbread78]

initial outlook, lol.

I always forget he was part of that trade and just remember how much of a BS it was up front.

LaVar is Hercule.

Which kid is Videl and when are they getting thrown out of a game for spinning someone's head all the way around?

This actually sorta hurts

 

[Gigglepoo]

Aren't they only getting offers from playoff teams now?

 

[Crimson_Gold]

This actually sorta hurts

We will have to look to the future. Believe in the moves we've made and are making.

 

[StanleyStutters]

I feel like Indy's best move is to trade George now. The only chance they have of gaining leverage is if something happens, like an injury, to weaken Golden State. Once the trade deadline comes how many teams are going to think a half season from George is going to be enough to catch GS? At least now, the teams could believe a full year in the system would convince him to resign, but he shows up late in the year he's going to LA.

 

[Cornbread78]

Aren't they only getting offers from playoff teams now?

Difference is Danny could throw in the Lakers or Nets pick now, but there's no way he gives that up at the deadline..

 

[LyleLanley]

That Otto Porter + a pick for PG sounds like a pretty good deal tbh.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

That Otto Porter + a pick for PG sounds like a pretty good deal tbh.

Porter would have to agree to go to Indy.

 

[LionPride]

That Otto Porter + a pick for PG sounds like a pretty good deal tbh.

Sign and trade?

Sure

 

[LyleLanley]

Zizic 😍

Porter would have to agree to go to Indy.

I don't see why he wouldn't.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Eh, even if they just bring back essentially the same team with three first round picks replacing a few guys I don't see a way in which they don't improve.

Except Thomas is hurt with a potentially career altering hip injury. I think chances are he misses two months and is 80% of the player he was before.
