    Can't stand the Philly fucker either but it's far better than Miami. I can't stand the Heat fans

    Bill Simmons is to Boston what SAS is to NY

    So here's the question... do we try to take back Brown or do we send him to a third team.

    I still like the idea of sending Brown to Houston or OKC for a shit ton of picks and young players. That has been my desire for over a month now.

    Well, Bill Simmons can be entertaining at time. That's just not fair to compare him to SAS.

    The potential positive here is that Boston/Miami/Philly all could end up bidding against each other as Dame could be the guy who puts one of them over the top in the Eastern conference, and Bucks are there as well

    Fuck that Simmons. Give me Jaylen to grow with Scoot and Sharpe.

    He's still dialed in. I know he likes the Celtics but everything he said made sense. He also said this could go on for awhile. I agree with him

    Jaylen will be a FA next summer so we need to be careful with that, he'll be pissed that he may not get the big 5 yr max from Boston who only can offer it, probably safer to send him to a 3rd team for value

    Not sure if Brown would want to be here. God it would be hilarious though....

    Scoot
    Sharpe
    Brown
    Grant
    ????

    It would be SO funny if we were better next season than we ever were with Dame.

    Maxey, who still has a yr left on rookie deal may be the most attractive asset for us to move and get good 3rd team value

    I'd think they would be. Attempt to upgrade center with Simons and Nurk while we are at it.

    If we could somehow flip Simons/Nas for Jarrett Allen on top of sending Dame to Boston.... that team would legit be scary.

    Scoot
    Sharpe
    Brown
    Grant
    Allen

    Yeah but would he be pissed at us? We would still be able to pay him the most next summer. Unless some team he liked was able to get a lot of cap space.

    I still think the best move is to send Brown to Houston or OKC.

    Abused him by sending him to a contender? Or abused him by not building around him? Because if we got Brown, he would have talent around him by year 2 as Sharpe and Scoot mature.

    Sorry for the lack of clarity. Being sarcastic. Meaning abused him because we didn't trade Scoot for OG and then didn't trade Dame to his preferred destination for their two-way players.

    Abused him by treating him like a god-king for 11 years but then realizing that our population was dying off because he was demanding an increasing number of human sacrifices for his glory.

    I can't help but sit over here grinning because you and I were feuding about Dame just a few weeks ago, and now look at us!
