Gutted to see Rob Williams traded to Blazers. Had gotten over the Smart trade, now this. Just going to trust Brad Stevens with these manoeuvres.

Big moves so far this off-season:
Chris Paul to Golden State Warriors
Damian Lillard to Milwaukee Bucks
Bradley Beal to Phoenix Suns
Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to Boston Celtics

Fuck off, not the Timelord! Sigh. Brogdon too? I guess they had to get rid of him after putting him up for trade and botching that. The NBA is so cut-throat.

Jrue will be a great addition, love that. Not sure he is better than having both Smart and Brogdon though. Porzingis is a crock, he won't do anything.

Guess they'll have to rely on Al "the Godfather" Horford taking care of the paint on his own. Surely age is going to catch up with him at some point?

That Paul trade to Warriors was also such a weird move. Bucks look interesting, Suns are strong.

    Bucks have to be the favorites for the title.

    Brogdon may be chronically injured apparently. He flunked his physical with the Clippers in the initial Porzingis deal. So getting Jrue for him at the cost of Robert Williams (who also misses time with knee problems every year) and picks is a calculated risk for the team to take when they're on the cusp of a ring. IF Boston stays healthy (lol KP), they can win it all.

    Miami struck out on KD, Dame, Donovan Mitchell, CP3, Kyrie, Harden, and Lavine lol. Kudos for blazers for getting much more than Tyler Herro and picks.

      est yeah two inspired draft picks flying the cuckoos best. It feels so much better when you watch them grow into a useable piece. Bryant is right to call out Rob’s health record; heard on a podcast last night that Rob had only played 35 games last season. He’s been gingerly for a while but my was that winter 2021 Celtics stretch the best team I have seen in years, and so much down to Rob.

      Hopefully Cs can go out and get some good bigs, as Al is verging on 37/38.

      Good on Portland for not getting swindled.

        Looks like the new Bellingham of the NBA.

        All you guys worrying about the Celtics and they're been steamrolling teams lol.

        Meanwhile, the kid has come:

        You Celtics made it out like bandits.

        Oh poor Rob 🙁 Hope G. Jesus isn't destined down a similar path.
        Also hope we haven't had the Blazers like Golden State with GPII? Cs top brass is ruthless, similar perhaps to Isaiah Thomas after his labrum tear.

          Out for the season. Lol you guys got them bad.

          Meanwhile, these older guys still can play:

            Meanwhile Porzingis is doing really well with the Celtics. Holiday too, but that was to be expected. Please just stay fit.

                Luka is wild.
                Imagine telling Embid after he scored 70 on monday that he won't be the highest scorer this week lol. Booker also with 2 games of 60+ this week, KAT as well with 64

                  HomeSteak got to see Luka last live a couple of weeks ago against the Nets. Incredible opportunity to watch him play live at the moment.

                      Ant putting up 44 when KAT gets hurt with a torn meniscus.

                      Reminds me of a young Jordan...

                      HomeSteak it was great. Luka and Kyrie tore them apart but it wasn't a blow out so stayed interesting all game. Really enjoyed the whole vibe too, very different from a football match.
