the logos are pretty cool on the shorts, but not a big fan of the font.

 

What kind of weird textile design is that? I think I only like the baby blue one then, eh

 

The black alt and the blue hardwood classic are nice, but the main jerseys just feel like the purple and grey Suns scheme from a few years ago.

 

Chainmail i think

 

Also, two purple jerseys feels a bit redundant to me. Just pick one.

 

i wouldn't want to wear anything that says "sac" on it.

 

Love the black ones. Really wish the Kings could be good again.

 

Or as Draymond would read that, "kick me"

 

This is pretty cool actually

 

Portland Trail Blazers Fire Mike Barrett, Mike Rice and Antonio Harvey

I never like when someone gets fired, or loses their job, but I am really fucking glad I never have to listen to Mike Rice again.

 

Theres a petition that's been going around today to stop it, guess it isn't going to work out.

 

good move on ESPN/TNT's part to let Craig Saeger work Game 6 tonight. very cool.

 

Bored at work waiting for Game 6. What do you guys think of this?

Celtics Trade:
James Young
Terry Rozier
Amir Johnson
16th Overall
23rd Overall (Or 2018 Brooklyn or 2019 Memphis, you pick.)

Nets Trade:
Brook Lopez

Thought process is, in reality it's not a lot for Boston to give up. The injury risks are real, but giving up second shelf assets for Brook is worth the risk in my mind. They'd still have their main pieces. Brooklyn has no future right now. Getting picks, young players and cap relief from not exercising Amir's contract can at least help them start working towards a rebuild.

 

Definitely would not even entertain that if I'm Boston. That's definitely a lot to give up. No chance you part with either of those future picks either.

For Boston - Why in the world would they help the Nets rebuild when they hold their future draft picks? It's in their best interest for them to be god awful for the next 3 years. I imagine they'd try to do everything in their power to keep them in the dumps and not provide them with any flexibility going forward

 

Haha it's a fair concern. My thought is, they use those Brooklyn picks and go get Jimmy Butler. Let Brooklyn be Chicago's problem.

 

16 and 23 + unproven guys and amir is really not worth much in this draft, that would be an absolute rip off. I love brook but the Boston fan base would murder him.

 

Because Danny ripping off the nets is unheard of - Like i said, just got bored with trade machine haha.

 

Edited but yeah, ainge trying to throw chips at a wall and see what he gets

 

It almost kind of blows my mind anyone is willing to trade with Him.

KG deal was insane
Rondo for Crowder and a first, with Rondo quitting on them was a fleece job
Nets trade could go down as top 5 worst trades in NBA history
Isaiah Thomas for some spare parts we got from Cleveland

 

First draft some players that make it the worst trade in history lol

 

Haha totally fair, but I think it's safe to say it's already one of the worst just on the Nets side. Completely derailed their future for what? Nada. The rumor is the deal was done it being 2 protected first round picks. And just before calling it in, Danny demanded the swap option on it, and all protections removed. And the Nets just caved. Just brutal.

 

Yea, the deal is a horrible deal but if those picks end up as players who aren't all stars it becomes a moot point because you dont take advantage of it

 

I would say even just rotational players makes it a win for the C's. Yes it could be more, but getting anything kind of useful players, or trading them, in exchange for one year of KG and Pierce.

On to a more fun topic, which pending free agent do you think is going to get the most outrageous contract?
