A little room for the shooter please.

When you’re an awful team and have been for a while then you usually have to overpay to get talent to stay. They’re trying to be an actual team now and he at least adds some legitimacy to their lineup. No good free agents are signing with them so it’s their only shot to get talent

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@0thatdude0 @SixCelled As someone who lives in Boston and roots for the Celtics, nobody thought that. The tagline with Celtics was how lucky they got in their playoff run not how dominant they were or how bright future was

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@itsmattlloyd10 @NUCLRGOLF It’s not his responsibility to figure how how to get the money. That’s on you. As many people in the thread have already suggested, there’s a dozen ways to do it pretty easily but you put minimal effort into it. Take out the cash and send a cashiers check. Nobody believes you

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@RosinskiBill They didn’t say you don’t meet the requirements. They said, very nicely, there were better candidates available to them.

@Cavalanche2016 @LACFAN4LIFE @AMBGotAura If Brunson and Dame (!) weren’t superstars then I need to know your definition of one

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@Farsh357 @gregoryleclerc @breezieaze101 @BobbyMarks42 They have Sorber coming back, Wallace can play Dort role and maybe they keep Caruso or find another veteran guy to fill his role but all loses they can sustain. They’re gonna keep SGA, Chet, both JWill and Ajay. Gonna be just fine

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@gregoryleclerc @BobbyMarks42 Clear Hartenstein, Dort and Caruso. Already have guys ready to step into their spots plus a lotto pick coming. They’re gonna be scary for awhile

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@Prime_76 @natturnerlives @pilipinasmuse @ScottiePippen Coming off back to back MVPs and a runner up mvp. Barkley in his prime MVP season. Malone and Stockton and Drexler

@MLFootball Same shit they’ve had in most bit time college locker rooms for a decade

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@MarkW_E01 @jhatem Certainly not a lock he’s there but more likely than not he will be. And if he’s not and you end up with AJ or Peterson that’s not so bad at 3. Giving up a nice asset for that seems unlikely

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@khrisody @FivelDaAmerican I don’t disagree but changes the narrative that you have Mathurin moving forward. He’s mostly likely either gone to a higher bidder or being overpaid by you. Odds of getting a young talented guy on a cheap, value-deal are slim to none

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@SleeperWizards @BleacherReport @SleeperBucksNBA AD ain’t playing for a burnt out, rebuilding Bucks. Might as well make it a 3 team and move him elsewhere. Awful trade

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@colby_colonel So lakers give up #25 and Laravia and get back AD and Ace???

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@pupgrrrl @WGrocke @SleeperMemphis He’s only been on one team because no other team would trade for him. Not getting better skill wise, not jury concerns and as big of a red flag off the court as possible.

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@SpursCulture Wemby is what makes the Spurs a title contender. All the other guys are solid to very good options as well but with no Wemby they’re just another good team

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@theinvestdesk @darrenrovell What the… their entire brand was built more around Steph in 2013. Their #1 dude forever. And then got Speith for their golf brand which was huge in 2014…

The Rock started in 2016

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@itsAntWright Uhhhhh ya think? The hardest part are the unknowns. Almost everything in the draft is an unknown. It’s almost all projections-how their skill will translate, how they’ll handle pro ball, having money, life events.

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@OwnedByToronto Nobody believes this

[Tim @TPhaneuf]

@collinsworth55 What makes you sure they don’t see a huge gap between them? I’m a bubble maybe but they are also judging fit for their team, personality and who they want as the face of their team for a decade
