Would it shock anyone to see LA get in the kemba sweepstakes now that they’ve freed up the cap room?

Nah. He ain’t going there. Already was hinted at he doesn’t want the LA/NY market. He is coming to Boston.

I saw that and thats awesome because she apparently has the brains, work ethic and desire to be an outstanding coach. I got murdered on the Celtics forum as a sexist when I called out Silver for throwing he wants 50 percent coaches and 50 percent officials to be women. I see so many pitfalls with saying something that, just a really bad idea. Plus its an arbitrary number. I said let it happen organically and that will be much better. Becky Hammon in San Antonio started it, and here is another one. If a woman coach replaces Brad because she is the best for the job, lets do it.

I don’t care about anything but winning. Man, woman, alien from Mars. Don’t really care. I’m genuinely excited to hear the feedback from the players.

Outstanding.

All she needs to do is her job and plus xtra to account for the bias.

NBA’s worst nightmare was the Lakers freeing up cap room for one more max slot.

Lakers will get Irving, Walker or at worst DRussell if Irving goes to the Nets and Walker signs with Boston. Leonard would’ve been a shoe in to sign there, but he’d like to be the #1 guy and deservingly so.

BTW, why don't people think Walker is worth 4/140M?

Because an undersized, inefficient point guard is not worth $35m a year.

Hyped said:

I mean he's the same age as Durant (and Horford when we signed him) and Durant will miss a season......

When you are comparing Walker to Durant in a value context, you need to know that you've gone too far.

Kyrie .... LOL.

I don't see him fitting there. If they need another big, they need a big that can play on the outside.

by the same token, Capela allow Embiid to play outside more....he is currently their best 3 point shooter.....hell, Embiid is their only 3 point shooter

captain stone said:

43% from the field, including 36% from deep...and his shooting #s late in games are horrible.

in comparison to who/what?

Ras-IR Dowling said:

I like Capela but I would hope Boston puts at minimum top 5 protections if they move that Memphis pick.

Click to expand...

The pick is already protected

Ras-IR Dowling said:

In other team news, Lakers now have the cap to add at 3rd max. Sounds like DLo may be joining up to make a big3.

I want Irving to go to LA.......and then watch what happens during the first losing streak because the other 12 players on the team (all playing for the minimum) keep the team from making the playoffs

Yea thats true.

captain stone said:

How about we sign-n-trade Scary to Philthy, send Romeo to Houston, and receive Capela, Eric Gordon & a future unprotected 1st?

I would prefer send yabu and rj hunter to the bucks for giannis

I'm surprised by the volume of hate towards KD. Because of the history I can see OKC but he comes across as generally likeable. No?

The sock puppet burner accounts he maintains agree that he’s likeable.

i think it would be a lot different if he hadn't joined the GS as a superteam already...aside from that i can't think of a single thing to hate KD for, but he does get a lot of hate for doing that move

In comparison to a lot of other players, it seems:

Kemba Walker Is One of the Worst Clutch Players of All-Time | Pace and Space

No ... he was humble at one time ... or at least posed as such.

that's an angle........but I am sure that the fact that the entire team has sucked ever since he's been there has nothing to do with it *end sarcasm*

Article is crap ... hard to be clutch when you are the only scorer on a team.
Also - Irving was not clutch at all this year ... he was horrendous.
