I am 100% certain Jaylen Brown will be better than KD from day 1.
idk what you guy were watching, he was able to get to the basketball, but was happening with everyone. Shot 2/7 and didnt have a huge impact.
Simmons played a lot better in that game, way more impactful, although his shot is still super rough.
Best players for the Celtics were Rozier and Hunter that game, Hunter especially hit some daggers in the game.

Randolph, you of all people should know to never doubt the power of Black Diamond Jesus. Its prolly going to rub off on Marshall too.

MP3 will be rookie of the year.
He may even be the first ever to repeat the award.

NBA players today are soft. If MJ played today he would've been ROY every year.
I think we were all joking. Maybe? Not actually sure
Also Zaza to warriors changes everything

From the sounds of it Wade is gone.
This is the darkest timeline.

The writers might eventually give it to someone else in a sympathy vote, like that one year Malone got MVP. But if they were being real about it, yeah, every single year.

At the rate of things, he's going to the Warriors, too.

If Wade was going to join a contender for dirt cheap why would he pick GS over Cleveland?

Wade ain't going nowhere. He did the same thing last year and came back. He can sign a 2 yr 40 million contract with the opt out clause after year 1 and keep doing this every year. He's just playing a bit hard to get.

We were sure Whiteside was leaving the Heat as well.
I'd be shocked if Wade leaves.

I'd take him in CLE tho. ;p
thoughts on Durant since I wasn't around while that was happening
Don't blame him for going to GS. Was clearly the best choice if he wants win a ring.
Basketball is probably my favorite sport so it's too bad to see that the NBA has such parity issues (yes it's always been this way, and no I don't think the league should intervene and stop anything from happening). Baseball and NFL seasons always feel like there's much more up in the air which is fun.
That said there are still many things I'm interested in for the upcoming season. Curious to see how the T-Wolves, Bucks and Sixers develop as they all have interesting teams to me. And of course I'll enjoy watching the Celtics with Horford, Smart making the jump to top 10 guard, and Jaylen Brown going for bad/great dunk attempts. Hoping we can get a playoff rematch with the Hawks since that could be a really fun series (as we maybe get our revenge). I don't think everything needs to be title oriented so there is still a lot to look forward to in the upcoming season.
And I can now shift my focus to the next FA class. Wonder who will take a meeting with the Celtics before picking a different team. Hope it's CP3 (or Durant again).
Also regardless on your thoughts on Durant or SAS this was still pretty funny

Here's the scoop, with more context, straight from Draymond who was actually at the meeting instead of a secondhand source.

It is a little weird that in 4 years we went from OKC losing the Finals to having the entire core of that team destroyed with Russ being the only player left.
I think Nick Collison is the only guy left that played with
on that 2012 roster lol.

Daily Thunder is so depressing right now lmao
Whoever this RK Anthony is from Welcome to Loud City is soooo salty. I should have read Cavs blogs when LBJ left to get an idea of how bitter they were in comparison.

3 million per year. Wtf is he doing?
Just wait a little longer for a deal.

This supposedly turned him off and Jerry West had to come in to close the deal.
Now they just need to get Klay's brother and whoever the second best dick kicker in the league is.

The reality that this OKC core is never going to win a title is bumming me out. Feels wrong in ways that Cleveland 2010 didn't. That team was a dumpster fire that just happened to get the right lotto pick in the one year it really mattered. This was a consistently well-built team (even the fucking Harden trade led to Steven Adams) that just always seemed to be snakebitten

On the one hand, last year, he was just trying to find a spot in the league. On the other, 3 million per is chump change in the new NBA.
Oh well, at least he's out of Sacramento. Make that money, Seth.
Just looking at the names you could trick me into thinking you took over the 2013 Warriors

Is he going to play with Jerry West? Those players have no respect for him looking at what Green proudly told to the press. That's not a good look.
