Can't wait for AJ Dybantsa's first game. Dude looks legit, like a trim, taller Zion Williamson. Wizards will still be trash though but I genuinely want to watch him play.

His combination with T. Young can be exciting to watch

True. I am still not expecting anything tangible from that franchise until I see an improvement in their roster. AD is not it.

This is why Boston isn’t picking JB over JT. See I love JB and since he was drafted, I have been rotting hard for him, receipts full this thread but man has allowed everything get over his head. He is constantly in the news and teams like the Celtics don’t like that. He just needs to say less and just allow things fall in place.

I really liked him at first, quiet, respectful, puts in the work. Brother has a lot of knowledge, but unfortunately little wisdom. Guy just speaks anyhow, alienating folk for no reason. Reminds me of the bible verse that says, "knowledge puffs up". He loves hearing himself talk, but he is low key foolish with the way he just spouts off

The Warriors are chasing Ajala and AD.

Shey na Nursing Home dem wan run next season? It’s a shame Curry’s final years in the league will be mediocre!

I don't think that's possible. It's likely AD for Butler trade

I want to laugh at another failed Avengers Team so I can't wait tbh

Can you blame him? He's always been dangled as trade bait for the past 6 seasons or more so I can understand his bitterness.

When has JT ever been rumored to be involved in any trade? These are two players drafted back to back that you are supposed to join them at their hip till they're approaching retirement

Yet your team keeps dangling JB as trade bait. I will kick up dust too when you're treating me like an adopted child

If you're a NFL fan spare a thought for CJ2K

40 year old dealing with ALS is an utterly cruel thing

He is not even 40! I dont think it has been proven, but taking those football hits could not have helped. A very heartbreaking turn of events. And kudos to his wife for not dipping and abandoning ship.

How bitter can you be with the largest contract in history? Which adopted child is getting 300milli? Bro was childish!

Keep the money aside. Those guys have enough to last them a lifetime. Looking through JB POV, you'd understand why he's mad. He tries his best and has to be treated like the middle child. Because he's not quiet? Anyways, he picked the Celtics. You're not bigger than the programme and they run a strict one 😂

I'm seeing 1985 in his bio. He's the first ex NFLer I've heard with ALS. There might have been more but not this young. Desperately unlucky to catch such a wicked disease

And kudos to his wife too can't be easy seeing a healthy epitome of masculinity wither in your very hands. Life and what's is its actual point sometimes

That he earned relative to the rest of the league. Not like they did him a favor. He produced and brought them a chip

Why is he supposed to be thrilled that every other year the team is trying to ship him out? Is that what they are doing with Jokic, SGA and Co. Have they won more than him?

My condolences mate. Your team is officially finished grin

A 36 year old washed up Temu version of Jayson Tatum with two years still to go on his deal. Oof

There are some illnesses I could come to terms with if i was diagnosed at like 70 or older. But seeing someone face something this devastating at such a young age always makes me question how unfair life can be. It’s heartbreaking to know he’s going to be living with so much uncertainty certainty about what lies ahead. It's sad.

That's true. Na their one of their stronghold be that. And him na borderline radical at least on an intellectual level.

What I don't understand is why the Sixers will accept such a deal. PG is the older inferior version of Tatum. This trade makes absolutely no sense

Abeg I don't pray to deal with anything debilitating that will affect my daily quality of life. The normal sleep and go is fine with me

As far as I know ALS has no cure and your time line is 3-5 years if you're lucky. Problem is it weakens all your body functions and eventually even the ability to breathe.

I honestly pray to have the luxury of a peaceful passing and that family and friends could be spared the shock of sudden, devastating news. Like a chance to prepare, say their goodbyes, and have something that eases the weight of grief.

And yes, you’re right about ALS. It’s one of the nasty ones.

There is a way I don’t want to speak about JB because to God, he is one of my favorite players and boy have I always rooted for him. I’d hate to come across like critical because of this situation.

JT is the face of this franchise, know this and know peace. He fits how the Celtics works in terms of face of the franchise. JB over the last 2-3 years has earned his stripes. The Celtics have done right by him in every situation, payed him, supported his causes; you name it.

I hope after he leaves he shows the city the love and respect.. but I won’t be shocked if he doesn’t.

Well Goodluck to them cos it's time to show and prove for JT. As the face of the franchise

We get it he's the choir boy and baby face but like Michael Irvin said. You're not going to win a Superbowl with a bunch of choir boys. You also need guys like JT

I don't think JB has done anything wrong. He's reacting as anyone that is perennially dangled as trade bait will react. Even Chet Holmgren despite his disasterclass and injury proneness is always backed by the organization.

Celtics paid him his rightful dough nau. Do they want a cookie for that?

Your employer can do all sorts of things but if they keep putting you on transfer list to a city that's not even of your choosing I think you will be well in your right to kick up dust

What I'm truly surprised by is why the Celtics agreed to such a terrible deal. This is a generational head scratcher. If you had to give up more picks to the Bucks surely that would have been better than strengthening the team that knocked you out of the playoffs and making them an instant contender

Cos
Maxey
Edgecombe
Brown
Embiid

That's formidable
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 5:46am On Jul 02
People hate on Stephen A. Smith but on this Jaleyn brown issue he was clearly right.

He must have had sources from the front office telling him how abrasive their relationship with jaleyn was going.
