I can’t believe this Cleveland team was able to sweep Toronto.

He was joking and trolling based on Jason quicks comments in the past about cj being a dirty player. This is a play on that

I know, but if you listen to ET much it’s very obvious he misses Boston and the guys he played with there.
 
Boston is in such a good spot but will have to make a decision in the future with Hayward with how well Tatum and brown have played all year.

Oh okay okay. Yeah I feel he’s felt like that for a while. He had a good run there, fit better in their system. They just weren’t dumb to pay him what we did thinking he could replicate what he did in Boston

True they are in trouble, but unless Boston can win in Cleveland, and I don't think they will....it will go 7. And anything can happen in game 7.

I don’t see why Boston can’t win in Cleveland.
 
Ty Lue is so so bad. Being matched up against Brad Stevens makes it even more apparent, dude has no clue. Could be as bad as Mike Brown and Paul Silas.

Well they are 1-4 so far on the road and Cleveland has won their last 5 at home. My money is on the Cavs at home....

I'd trade Hayward if I were them. It would suck to be Gordon but them's the breaks.

What do you think they should trade him for? What, in your mind, is their biggest weakness?
 
dviss1 said:
Good question. They have ASS-ETS...

I'd look for a Collins Type PF to play alongside Horford.

Assuming Davis and Kristaps Porzingis are unavailable, who's the best version of that archetype out there? Are there any?

I wonder how Blake would fit on that squad. Or more precisely, what Brad Stevens could do with him.

They should trade Hayward for Even Turner. Duh. Come on Olshey. Why hasn't this happened yet?
 
Something has got to give in Boston. Tatum and Brown are developing faster than anyone can have realistically expected.

Both guys might be in line for max deals in 3/4 yrs. This, after giving Kyrie his new max and Horford/Hayward already on the books for 30 mil each.

No way they can afford all this plus Rozier/Smart/etc.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Ainge try to move Hayward.

I have been thinking the same. If it was not for Steven's history with Gordon and the primary reason he chose Boston, I think it would be an easy decision. As it is maybe GH will be ok with a trade? But there does seem to be one too many SF's on their

Would it really be unfathomable for them to play 3 wings between Irving and Horford? It's not like the bruising PF of yesteryear is really much of a thing anymore.
 
I'm wondering if they might entertain trading Kyrie? Rozier has proven more than capable playing PG and Kyrie is injury prone.

I don't think that's a good idea. Any of those guys at PF would be a disaster IMO. But hey.. Brad "fucking" Stevens. :dunno:

Yeah you are right since Brown is playing SG now and I think both Tatum and GH can both handle the ball even better than JB. But I also think that an Irving/Rosier/ Smart rotation is already deep enough as a 3 guard lineup, even without using any of the wings.
It seem like someone will eventually want to be traded.

That'll probably be Smart. I'd love him in a 3 guard rotation.

Yeah I would too. He plays with an edge. The fact he is 225 lbs even allows him to play SF..... at times.
Obviously getting him would be tough, so I am hoping Wade Baldwin can be a poor man's version. At 202 lbs they are not exactly the same body type, but he is two years younger and will get better.
