Beal is a top 15 player in the league and 25 years old. If the Wiz trade him for Kuzma, Ingram, and 4 then they should fire their new GM and hire Ernie back.

Not saying this deal won’t happen but there is no way they should move Beal without attaching Wall or getting way more than that

[shel311]

LA can take Wall, I'm good with that!


Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think the Wizards even have a new GM yet? So that could throw a wrinkle into those reports.

Wizards want masai

[wdoupis]

Everyone wants Masai

[nick]

Best gm in the league. Would make sense

[wdoupis]

Certainty up there in the top group with Ainge, Myers, Buford, and maybe 1 or 2 more I am forgetting

Kyrie ditched his agent today and will sign with ROC Nation.

Adds fuel to the Kyrie to the Nets rumors.

If so, I wonder if this makes Ainge pull back on AD, thus making him a Laker.

I thought ADs agent told the Celtics not to even bother as he isn't signing with them and will walk?

Kyries been chillin in Brooklyn for like 2 weeks now

He did but reports were that Ainge was still pursuing.

Ainge's play was to try and keep Kyrie and add AD.

AD's agent said he only wants to go to the Lakers. But from the perspective of Ainge, if the Lakers dont get AD now, there's no way they punt another season of Lebron. They'll go and get Jimmy Butler or whoever and add some other dudes to round out a real team, compared to all those 1 year scrubs they had last season. Meaning, AD won't be able to sign with LA next offseason so Ainge was willing to take the risk and hope he could sell AD on Boston with no hope of LA being in play.

after what Masai did with Kawhi, why wouldnt anyone at least try? 1 yr is better than 0 yrs

[Cnasty]

I don't think Kawhi came out and said he was not signing long term in Toronto?

I get going for it but I guess it depends what they are giving up which I assume would be a lot for one year and not sure what they could put around him for a single season run.

Pretty cool Zion profile from a dude from The Ringer.


It mainly focuses on how Duke basically never ran plays for Zion, and he still put up some of the best numbers ever.

The craziest part is his profile solely based on how he was used at Duke most closely resembles Al-Farooq Aminu and Jerebko. That's amazing.

[Cnasty]

Dubs going zone and get creative.

[nick]

Kawhi travels cause hes getting fouled over and over to no call. its brutal. theyre scared to call em.

[LetsGoPeay]

That pull-up 3 by Thompson after the failed Kawhi to Siakam oop was ridiculous.

Klay putting on a show.
