The air of uncertainty Kyrie is lowering on the Celtics is hilarious. I can't wait for Bill Simmons to be mad when the offseason comes.
 
Didnt realize it, until mentioned on the jump:

Bucks can have $40 mil in cap space once they waive George Hill. Why would someone not want to go play with Giannis? The dude is so selfless.

Brogdon, Bledsoe, Lopez, Mirotic & Middleton will all be free agents. However, theyll move on to Snell & Ilyasova and hopefully create more space and resign some of these guys to reasonable contracts while keeping space to improve.
 
James Harden gets so much unnecessary hate. He's as elite as they come on offense. Literally makes every aspect of offense look easy.
 
Malcolm Brogdon is a truly elite level shooter. He should get paid a ton of money next summer in this version of the NBA.
 
You cant tell me that Love & Cedi isnt a better combo for Lebron than what he has. These dudes are lanky & athletic, but they are dumb as shit. Noah & Parsons took it to the Lakers in the 1st half.

Kyrie for Brogdon + Middleton last year is my fantasy alternative reality.

Instead, we are living in the worst timeline...
 
Crazy to think about the absolute talent of a pairing LeBron and Kyrie were then to think about the amount of drama and upheaval they bring to a team with their words alone and it’s always something new. It’s more amazing to think Kyrie has become what he despised in LeBron’s drama as he originally desperately tried to link himself with the Kobe way (even worse). Ainge has to come out and sit next to Kyrie before the reporters came into the locker room in order to prevent him from crippling the team morale further.

IMO Kyrie doesn’t like the passive coaching of Brad and doesn’t think Ainge made any effort to improve the team THIS year. Not trading Rozier who is killing the team shows that Ainge isn’t confident Kyrie will be back. Jaylen Brown is their version of Kevin Love, as a ton of shots are taken at him during and after games. Marcus Morris has an unreasonably great stretch and suddenly thinks he’s an all-star. I’m sure Jaylen can’t wait to leave while Hayward is a max player that creates a buzz everytime he even scores a bucket which is sad and unfortunate. If NO scores a healthy Hayward, Tatum and Brown then they’re honestly better off then having a brittle big and LeBron is officially screwed lol.

AD has effectively ruined the Lakers season and the Celtics season. Lakers young “stars” know their bags were packed for any AD deal and Tatum/Brown know they’re playing on burrowed time.
 
Seeing both the Celts and the Lakers enduring these rumors that are crippling morale is amazing. After the Kyrie trade, Boston can die in a hole. At the time I wasn't happy with it, but thought it would be alright. Boy, was I wrong.

After LeBron holding the Cavs hostage for years by not signing long term, (which also prevented others from wanting to play here) I hope he never sniffs the playoffs again.

I think the word has gotten out about how toxic these guys are. It wouldn't surprise me if they both team up in LA again because no one else is willing to play with these guys. They can continue to keep running into the brick walls that Houston and GS would be for them even if they were both together. Let them languish in mediocrity for the rest of their careers. They deserve it.

Another Celtics loss - It will be beautiful if the Celtics and the Lakers both miss the playoffs.
