NBA Offseason 2017 |OT| Only Big Ballers Allowed *please pay $495 to be a Big Baller
- Thread starter Jarate
- Start date
That lineup actually works perfectly to fill every position
PG
SG
SF
PF
C
We also have Yabusele coming in who can sub for Horford at PF
I honestly don't really know what to think of this team. All-Star to near All-Star talent in every position, assuming Zizic stays based. No one top 5 but an extremely good core.

If he has knee issues then Philly has found their man.

What the fuck is happening? I just want Fultz.

We'll still get him if he slips to #3
All star talent? Zizic hasn't even stepped on an NBA floor yet, who knows what he is. Yabusele might not even be able to play.
Sucks to suck then cuz you ain't gon get him
Folks be puttin it ALL on people who ain't played a minute of NBA time

Why would they move up to 1 and not take Fultz?

I don't mind it, but will it get you past Cleveland? Will Butler resign?
I think I like it.. but... need a stud and a proven big.

You gonna get IT and his 200 mil contract
Stop this

Oh, Philly is for sure taking him. I'm just holding on to a sliver of hope that we get him.

This team could beat the cavs no doubt. But can they get both butler and hayward?

I've sold myself on this idea already. Just give me Fultz too.
This year? Probably not, but you can actually give them a series at least. In 2019 when LeBron is 34 and you now have 3 consecutive years of top 5 picks supplementing your veteran core? I don't see why not.

If they get an all star out of it, I'll take it, but if this is another asset builder, I'm gonna freak...
Thats why I said Zizic is a bit of a variable there. He's been doing extremely well in his European league which is actually pretty respectable for a European league, they put out Saric and Nurkic among others
I'd bet on him.
Hey I been preaching against it for the last couple months
But yall bout to max out a 29 year old 5'8 PG who can't fucking play a lick of defense
No doubt? I'm not so sure about that.
Boy, this is fun stuff. Loving every minute of this!

The only way I'm ok with this is if it turns out to be an all time Ainge fleece like the Brooklyn move.
I honestly think we could. There aren't any huge liabilities with that core besides IT's defense and whether Zizic will continue being awesome. It's a pretty well-rounded roster.
And we won't need to sign a big like Drummond or Whiteside if Zizic is great. He put up like 20 rebounds and 39 points in a single game, thats the kind of guy we need.
Not sure if you got the message, but I'm the resident IT hater here in Boston. Although he proved me wrong quite a bit this year, his defense is a disaster. that will never change.

You guys will fleece Bryan Colangelo no question about that.
I can't believe BC will fuck up Hinkie's process like this

No I got it, I dunno why people want to max out someone who's about to be 30 and actually can't play defense. Not doesn't but can't.
But I guess people don't care about guard defense in 2017 even though literally everyone can beat him

Wait till you see Kyle Lowry's contract. Though, Lowry can play both ends, he can't when it is playoff time.
Plus he is getting up there in age for a starting PG
Kyle 30/31 and trash in the playoffs. But at least he ain't 5'9 and he got that junk in the trunk. As a great man once said, there was a player named Mo Cheeks and it wasn't him?!
I predict the series goes 4-7 games.

C's were never going to draft Fultz! Smokescreens!
Wild prediction.
But you see them tall whites in Lauri and Zach...creepin on MJ's territory

Trust the Assets.
MJ only drafts people he can beat in a game of 1 on 1

Okafor is just what the Celtics need to solve their rim protection and rebounding problems.
Also true
Okafer shows a much greater fighting spirit when surrounded by Boston fans.
His DraftExpress vid is still hilarious to me
Weaknesses: Rebounding, Defense, Moving Laterally, literally everything that isn't scoring in the post

I heard Magic likes Fultz.
Could the Lakers move up by giving up Russell and a pick?
Ninja Scooter

Doubtful. Not If the Sixers are moving this much to get him.

I'm glad even the Celtics organisation has accepted at last that Lauri is the man.
