NBA 2018/19 Ben Simmons is ROTY. MEGA THREAD!

If we’re talking about anyone in the last 20 years, the Knicks would be the only ones who’d do something like that. But not even they’d do something that dumb.

Talk that Horford will leave Boston in Free Agency. Had a $31 Million player option for next season which he opted out of hoping to negotiate a long-term contract (3-4 years) at the Celts but not been able to reach agreement. Should be no shortage of takers for an intelligent, reliable big that can pass and stretch the floor. Will be a very different looking roster potentially at Boston. No Kyrie, no Al. Will be very light on for veteran experience. Hayward, Tatum, Brown, Smart are what you’re likely to be building around. Rozier and M.Morris also FAs. Talk that Bol Bol will be on our radar with either our 1st or 2nd pick in the draft. Badly need rim protection regardless of Horford staying…

Golden State in 6

*Even with Klay and KD injured

If AD waives his $4.5mil trade bonus, that will be as close to tampering with the league as you can get.

Over to you Mr Silver

Conley traded to jazz. Great trade

For Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver and Jae Crowder, the 23rd pick in Thursday’s draft and a future first-round pick.

Reckon it’s a over pay by Utah, last years 1st Rd pick, this years, a future one and their starting power forward

Crowder isn’t their starting power forward.
Favours is.

I wonder how Mitchell will play with another guard who needs the ball in his hands.

Where does this leave Rubio? Trade bait?

Crowder starts when they want spacing.
Favours is more a 5
They lost a lot of depth in this trade too.

They already told him they weren’t re-signing him too.

Does Korver get waived then? Straight to Lakers for some outside shooting?

Would be a good signing.

Would have to be delayed though. Lakers trying to do some accounting to try and get a 2nd max slot first.

Talk that Kawhi might want to join up with LBJ and AD. I just can’t see him doing that. He’s won universal respect for bringing a title to Toronto without a legitimate 2nd star, although he had a decent support cast. Going to the Lakers and forming a Big 3, aside from Lakers fans and Raps fans who will be forever indebted to him for what he did for their team, it won’t be KD levels of hate when he signed for Golden State but there will be a similar taste to it…

KD has redeemed himself by popping an Achilles

That would be a phenomenal team

I thought Kawhi was more keen on Clippers than Lakers?

Yeah, most people are saying it’s between Clips/Raps, but then there’s some saying that he’s prepared to listen to what the Lakers are offering. Not sure if it’s just clickbait, probably is…
