    Alot of teams out west, trying to put up teams to contend with GSW. On other hand teams in East are sleeping?
    I wonder if GMs in east are that terrible, or what.Losing Butler, George, Millsap to the West.You need some players from west to move east.

    Butler trade might not be that bad
    I like lavine but his knee worries me
    His defense needs focus but not sure Hoiberg is the right guy

    Markinnen is very interesting... love his offensive movement...better than bargnani but less than porzingis?

    Kriss Dunn is a great prospect.. had a bad year.. his mum passed away and thibs usually treats rookies tough... his first two years at providence were tough as well and then he became all america

    It is the okc trade that stings...among other things

    If you can get Crawford and Wesley off the books and bring in Gallinari on a 2 year guarranteed, that'd be freaking awesome. Even throw in that first round pick. Would likely have room to sign an additional SG.

    I love Jamal, as a person he's great. He's also great to watch. But ineffective, if you want to win. Might be great on a team surrounded by great defensive players (Boston), but surely can't make it with the Clippers. Wouldn't be surprised, if he's bought out and joins Cleveland.

    I hope Dunn proves wolves wrong, he didn't get a fair shout

    I like lavine as a 6th man guy off the bench but his shoooting was good at the start of last year so if he maintains that he and Dunn could form a good back court

    Didn't watch much bulls how was valentine?

    Valentine is crap... he might stay in league because he has good work ethic and his pretty smart but his knees and athleticism leave a lot to be desired
    His vertical is abiut 9 inches less than McDermott
    Just an awful pick

    Edit
    Lavine has one of quickest first steps in league...
    I don't see him coming off bench ... big talent but he spaces out on defense quite a bit..
    What's impressive is his shot development... still 22

    Yeah and it looks like at the start of the year he could drill the three

    Definitely not a 1 though. Much better at the 2

    Yeah I love Tatum... I think he will be the best one in the bunch
    If celtics pick up Hayward.. I think they have a real shot at beating cavs...
    They play good defense and will be able to shoot three under Stevens

    An older lebron - still best player in league
    Tatum offers athleticism and length
    Hayward dependable scorer at 2 and competent defender
    Remember celtics played without IT
    Not saying celts will sweep cavs but could tip over in 7 games...

    Brown, IT, Tatum, Hayward, Bradley, Crowder, Horford... Brad Stevens is a wonderful coach... Celts in 7.

    The Clippers have reached agreement on a three-team deal to acquire free agent Danilo Gallinari on a three-year, $65M contract, league sources tell ESPN.

    Really? Gallo? RIP LAC. Y'all had a good run

    Nothing to be said about KD taking a paycut to stay with Dubs? That's Tim Duncan approach right there.

    You do realize they have to more some od those salaries, probably someone between Crowder, Bradley, Smart or Jaylen Brown. So with this move they lose depth. I don't see them beating the Cavs.
