Not taking what "supposedly" the Celtics offered to me is ridiculous even if they aren't the best 1st round picks, they are still 3 first rounders + Crowder and Bradley.

I read this morning that the Celtics offered their Nets pick this year at the trade deadline and Bird even refused that deal. Pure idiocy...

Some of these contracts are crazy:

Jrue Holiday gets $126m from NO

Patty Mills gets $50m from Spurs

Tony Snell gets $46m from Bucks.

relative to the NBA those are considered "good deals"

Which is funny considering the highest paid guy in the NFL is Derek Carr at 25 million. NFL you completely destroy your body and make about as much as the 2nd tier good players do in the NBA and MLB

Tell your kids to play baseball and basketball

lol at this Curry contract. Holy shit.

Bird screwed up royally by not taking the deal at the deadline. However, PG hadn't demanded a trade yet then so be thought he may still have a chance at resigning him.

The reason Indy couldn't get squat out of PG is he wouldn't commit to an extension anywhere, because he's going to LA next summer. And that's his right to do so.

However, he royally screwed the Pacers on his way out the door.

Don't believe the BS coming out of Boston. Thats just Ainge trying to save face in front of his fan base. He thought he had Indy backed in a corner and he lost his ass. If Ainge had offered anything better than OKC did, he would've gotten George.

Well Woj reported it was 3 first round picks. Not the nets or kings picks. Plus Crowder and Amir Johnson.

Teague
Butler
Wiggins
Millsap
Towns

Dieng off the bench
Can still match offers on Bazz Muhammad

Don't tell me Minnesota's not going to the playoffs this year if Millsap signs. They could potentially challenge for the 4 seed if everything went their way.

Livingston and West both staying with GSW

I'd rather have that lineup than Clevelands lineup.

T Wolves also want JJ Redick

I heard Crowded or Smart and 2 first round picks. Which would've been late 20's. Either way, I think the OKC offer was as good or better. They get a great defensive guard who is getting better as a shooter in Dipo and a lottery pick from last year in Sabonis.

I agree with pretty much everything you said and that is why I said last night I found it hard to believe Pritchard would turn down such a deal with the Celtics. They didn't get any picks from OKC. It just doesn't make sense unless they really wanted Sabonis and for PG not to be in the East.

A seasoned vet like Millsap would be PERFECT for the Wolves. He could teach the young guys how to win.

That team will be good.

The whole T Wolves starting rotation are all stars or future All Stars

I am interested to know other people's opinion on this but why is there basically an arms race in the West when GS is pretty much unbeatable at this point? Are players that more afraid of going up against Lebron? It would seem to me it would be easier to form a few great teams in the East than the West.
