We passed on haliburton too. Fortunately the guy we drafted broke out this past season so we aren't as pissed now.
This draft is weak at the top but deep. There are quite a few quality pgs that will be available at 21. Bigs too.
Drafting Bronny in the first round would be a fireable offense.
Warriors played 3 1st all NBA players during that run, the 4th being Curry and the 5th being in the final. Who did Boston play? :lol This is the worst finals run I have ever seen.
never understimate the4 stupidity of james jones. still rmbr when he drafted an undersized pf that was slated by other scouts to go late 1st or early 2nd round at 11 in the 1st round...over Haliburton :facepalm
That's a long shot. It's far more likely that they might sign him if he isn't drafted. He could be a decent defender and the reports from the combine say his jumper looked good.
Did well in the athletic testing.
Boston is going to likely make money regardless of Jaylen Brown. The question and cost analysis remains. The Celtics governors have a business to run and still want higher profits every year, and if you want to trade him, the next team does the same cost risk analysis on his incoming contract.

Tatum an expert jump shooter?
He has shot like 29 percent on threes the last two playoff runs and his best percentage is on drives to the paint. Mediocre on mid range last two playoff runs.
Interesting that those percentages qualify as expert jump shooter.
The 2000-2002 Lakers won 3 rings to the warriors 2 and had one of the most dominant runs ever in 2001. What in the world are you even talking about you fool? :lol
You're literally living in opposite day.
Derek Fisher and Robert Horry combined to shoot like 7 threes per game dude...it's low volume.
Also this topic was initially 2000-2002 Lakers vs 2017-2019 Warriors, and now it's just been cherry picked to hell and devolved into dumb conversation.
It's just hilarious how you all have somehow forgotten how dominant the Warriors were even...
Yeah, Klay & Dray were only both All-NBA the year before, Dray was DPOY that season, and when Curry went out in the playoffs the year before the Warriors went 5-2 without him straight up blowing teams out. Not to mention they nearly won the Finals with Curry playing like absolute shit the entire series. Two additional All-NBA players/HOF'ers in...
isnt it at one time, early 2010's, he said Lebron winning one title puts him in GOAT contention...
what about Kawhi going from fringe top 10 to top 5 within few months and playing a handful of games...
or Giannis being top10-15 after his sole title...
then the best was Kobe getting shoehorned as top2 alongside MJ due to an epiphany
...
The Warriors outside Curry and Durant weren't all that. Klay shit bed in Finals almost every time. Dray can't shoot. McGee and zaza can't shoot. The Warriors shooting and spacing wasn't as deep as you make it out to be.
And again you have no answer for the paint. Where LA would certifiably dominate. We JUST saw Dallas win with pure paint...
Also Trump was pushing for a much bigger stimulus package than Biden was going into the 2020 election. It got shot down.

Look at the post I quoted. You thinking KD is neutralizing Kobe is the funniest part about this whole back & forth. I've addressed everything, including their supporting casts. You can't leave Fisher & Horry open from 3. You got no one that can stop Shaq or Kobe. Somehow the Lakers have no shot tho because Warriors shoot more 3s. Great.
2017...
Bolding my OP to expose these dumbasses trying to say the Lakers would win. Literally my first post and yet, here comes the morons doing exactly what I predicted.
Biden is spending LESS than Trump did. The deficit is coming DOWN from Trump, not up.
https://www.self.inc/info/us-debt-by-president/
Debt went up 40% under Trump. Only 16% so far under Biden.
You are just cherry picking this whole post. Shaq/Kobe Lakers ALMOST lost some series too, remember? The 2018 Rockets were elite as hell. They went 65-17 with a +8.7 net rating. Quite acting like they were nobodies.
And AGAIN, we have another post here (tpols) literally boiling EVERYTHING down to 2x2 basketball. Why are yall so ****ing stupid?...
Using +/- against the field of all 30 teams is retarded ŵhen were discussing a specific H2H matchup. The warriors after bogut left were tailor made to get ****ed by Shaq.
Dude I've seen Curry go cold from 3, Klay average like 16ppg in almost every Finals, Dray shoot like ass since forever, and obviously Mcgee and Zaza can't shoot at all and would be obliterated by Shaq and Kobe.
Did you not witness 2018? Harden and old Chris Paul were UP 3-2 on the Curry KD warriors. And you think Shaq and ****ing Kobe couldn't...
So your only argument is "no one's stopping the 2017 Warriors". Great.
'01 Lakers had a better Net Rating (+13.8) than the '17 Warriors (+13.5) in the Playoffs. You thinking that Steph & KD are on the same level as Shaq & Kobe is where you got shit really ****ed up.
even in half a season dallas was happy with kyrie they're the one who gave him a slight discount not bkn. sure he has his issues but he was an all-nba lvl guy not even getting the 30% max. George only missed playoffs one year and had all-nba impact pretty much every year including top 10 in every impact metric this year. I never said jaylen...
