I wouldn't want to trade 3 first because they have to be spaced out every other year(unless i missunderstand that rule the nba has about not having picks in consecutive seasons) so by the time the last pick is delivered most this team will be gone and you will suck and not having that pick will bite you.

I didn't like the Nets giving up 3 first rounders for two guys who are on the brink of retirement but, I'm not gonna lie. That is a sick lineup for as long as they're there. Definitely a formidable lineup... AND they got out from under Crash's contract and the first rounders are spread through every other year from '14 to '18. Good get.

Yeah next year's 1st rounder should be in the 20s anyway.  After that, all bets are off obviously.  But with their willingness to spend, I doubt they fall into the lottery anytime soon.

 

The Celtics needed to blow it up, but getting back a few picks in the 20s or out of the lottery over 6 years is rather meh to me.

Two 35 year olds and a 37 year old for 5 players and 3 first round choices?

 

Hell no. Sure, MAYBE they can pull a championship next year, but what if they don't. If they win a championship, then it might be a flush. If they don't win a championship, they'll be crap for a few years.

 

The Celtics won this trade by a long shot. I'm not a fan of the whole "win now" perspective, I'd rather build up for the future and have a good team for years to come, not just a year or two.

Rondo when he comes to practice....

 

They were saying earlier that Rondo may also get moved. Keeping Rondo would take out any of their chances a crack of the Andrew Wiggins Sweepstake. We better "TANK", bc we're not the only team who's going to purposely tank next season for a great draft.

You have to wonder how much KG and Pierce have left in the tank. That's a killer line-up in Brooklyn, but I think it's fair to say their window for winning a championship with KG is pretty much two years or bust. 

 

Can't wait to hear the story next June when the Celtics miraculously get the #1 overall pick in the lottery finishing with the 9th worst record and select Andrew Wiggins.  ;) Obviously not fixed at all.  ;)

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
