Just saw a post about the greatest 2nd round picks of all time, and people are actually arguing for Rodman over Jokic . |

steady986: Schroder has always been a playoffs liability wherever he goes. As for Reaves, walker, Wenyen and Brown, they have never been, so the jury is still out on them. This still leaves a team with 2 top 15 players when healthy, who should be challenging for a title with a dodgy lineup beyond Westbrook. |

steady986: Agreed with all you said, but this Lakers roster is barely 5 deep when it comes to players who can play quality minutes in the playoffs. So unless they want to waste a great AD and Lebron year, they need to make serious moves to bolster their rotation |

birdman: The Lakers need at the very least one consistent shooter, if they want to make it far in the playoffs. Now if they don't believe they can win it this year, trading Lebron is not a bad idea, the right team will give up at the very least a 1st round pick + players to match salaries. 2 Likes |

Blueelf: But you also said, correct me if I'm mistaken that Poole is the next coming. The thing is, history has shown that players with Klay's skillset tends to age well, and his erratic and underwhelming play can still be attributed to recovery from injuries. IMHO a better judgment of where Klay is, will come after the allstar break, if he doesn't iron out the inconsistencies by that time, then shipping him off becomesa conversation that conversation be had. As for Draymond, his skillset is important to the GSW, but not at the price his Max contract computes out as. If he can accept something in the range of 4yr/100-110mil, then that might be tenable, but at 138mil, that is $34.5mil/yr in new more for a glorified role player who will be 37yrs at the last year of the contract. 1 Like |

birdman: That's the thing with Kyrie, if it is not one thing it is another, when will it end with the guy. This will be the 4th season since KD and him chose Brooklyn, and the team has not had a real chance of having a real go at winning the championship, mainly because he Kyrie is always causing one issue or the other. He can either grow up or retire, nobody is forcing him to play in the nba, heck Dwight just signed for a foreign team. |

Roland17: Kobe and a lot of players have always said it that players don't tank, but owners and management do. What will happen as time goes is that you will start seeing bizarre substitutions from coaches if these teams keep winning. 2 Likes |

steady986: As long they keep their egos in check and listen to their coach, they will be a problem. They have the personnel to win in a variety of ways. You can see how Jonas was a focal point of the offense today because the hornets have no one to match-up with him in the front court 1 Like |

birdman: Wall had no choice but to seat out, the only agreement that was his personal own, was the agreement to leave, where the Rockets agreed to pay the majority of his contract this year. PS: I still believe the Bucks should have gone all in for John Wall. They really need another iso scorer 1 Like |

For the 6ers it seems it's always something sha. We all thought Harden was going to be the question mark, but Embiid has been lackluster in the 2 games played thus far |

A40: I am not shocked and if you've read all my thread on the matter you will find that I have put the blame on how the issue was handled on the Celtics brass. It is always better to give the media one clear cut, complete, truthful and concise scenario, so as to satisfy their appetite and remove their need for uncessary speculations, especially when all their sources testify to its truthfulness. 1 Like |

steady986: That is why organizations who are in the public domain should either have a PR risk management section in house or have one on retainer. The fact that a team president is saying publicly that he made this decision based on his conscience is just juvenile. They did the hard part in keeping it quiet from the time it was reported to when they decided to deal with it, but the bungled the execution. All they needed to do was investigate it properly and have conclusive answers that kills any iota of speculation, by the time they were ready to make it public. Their approach just allows for speculation that might come to bite them in the ass if they are not careful, unless it was their desire to dominate the news cycle for more than necessary. 2 Likes |

steady986: The Celtics never said it was consensual, reports without a source said that, and other reports also without sources, have emanated pointing to possible misconduct/missteps on Ime's part. So the hiring of a law firm is the right call albeit a bit late IMHO. The Celtics dropped the ball big time on this one, they should have gotten it properly investigated as soon as they were made aware of it in June, if they had done that they would have come out with a more complete picture, and all this speculation would have been largely unnecessary. |

A40: Absolutely, as soon as you as an organization decided not to keep it in house, they should have come clean in full, so as to protect their other female employees from unnecessary vulgar speculations, especially from the toxic section of social media. |

The people I pity are the women who are not involved in this shit, who will either have their names or pictures associated with this due to speculation from the public. |

afrodoc2: Wow, on one hand Ime get mind ohh. Why did he and the Celtics not just agree for him to resign. he and the Celtics are just wasting a whole year on something if it was consensual, should have been handled internally. SAS surprising got it right, as far as I know situations like this is either a firing/resignation offense or an internally handled matter |

felix00: Can anyone confirm if the woman is just a staff or also the wife of a staff of the Celtics? News on this is kind of hard to get, cause I'm already seeing that he was accused of unwanted advances or words. Which kind of brings the whole consensual aspect of it to the fore. |

Called the Cleveland trade but totally whiffed on the compensation. A backcourt of Garland and Donovan is not that bad especially with Mobley and Allen cleaning up things on the inside. |

birdman: Tanking with Chet, I seriously doubt that, just for the fact they already have too many young players who need minutes to show if they have it or not. Also SGA is on a Max and, will they seriously continue to pay him just to tank. IMHO if Chet was not hurt and they ended up not fighting for a play in spot, then something had to give. PS: IMHO there can be such a thing, as too much young talent on a team and OKC is heading there. 1 Like |

The tables are set for a great season. Nets, Celtics, GSW, Clippers, Bucks and the Sixers if Harden gets back to all-nba form, all have a legitimate case for winning it all next season. 1 Like |

The real issue with the WNBA is one of time. The league is about 25years old and on paper it is built for a demographic that as at the time of its inception had other things to entertain them. If you look at the nba, nfl even European football ball leagues in their 1st 25 yrs of existence one thing that is noticeable is that the players were not as well off as their peers today, most of the early pioneers in sports had to have 2nd jobs. Women leagues of every kind has to go through the growing pains that the men's leagues also went through. They need to first get the sports to the young kids, who if they fall in love with the sport will help create the bed rock of the fan base that can make it a commercial success in the future, just as the men's league all did. Most of the fans of all men's league fall into three categories, people who played when young, or people who got introduced to the game by either their father or the father figure in their life, or guys who got introduced to the sport by a friend or friends who fall into one of the 1st two categories. The fact is historically there was a time men were not watching the sports we all enjoy today in the numbers that enabled players to become rich from playing them. 1 Like |
