    On the right team where u can hide him on defense hed be awesome in that way the celts would work cuz u can switch crowder onto the harder matchup qt the 4 or 3 but on offensive meli would clash with IT to the point where it becomes either a 15ft post up for melo or a a contested 3 for IT

    There's no point in trading Brooklyn picks when they have no chance at competing for a championship in the next 3 years. And Melo might be the last guy I'd look at if I'm Ainge.

    17 Nets 1st-top 3 pick
    18 Nets 1st -same, no FA is going there
    19 Grizzlies 1st-probably lottery

    I would honestly go the other way and trade one of Bradley, IT and Smart before trading for Melo. All 3 are FA's after next year.

    Could see him with the clippers, just seems so clippers like to get a team with all that star power and then still lose in the 2nd round lol, pretty much how I see this going.

    I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Rivers and Crawford/Mbah A Moute + picks go to NY. The only issue is that Rivers is Doc's son (would be funny af if Doc traded him tbh) and they're giving up a lot of depth, which is a massive problem with them already. Overall, if I'm Doc I don't pull the trigger, but the roster they have now isn't getting it done anyways. So ya never know.

    I'm in an argument with someone right now. He's telling me Stockton > Curry. I should also mention we're arguing primes, not entire careers. Curry takes it for me.

    I'm all for tanking at this point for the Lakers, guess we might as well try to hang onto that draft pick one more year..

    Ugh, really didn't think/didn't want it to come to this.

    Can't stand Chris Webber on commentary, my interest in watching a game gets sliced in half if he's one of the announcers. It was bad enough when he was in the studio on NBATV but now he's doing games all the time and it's a disaster for me.

    Luckily most of the games I watch are still on league pass.

    Yea I'm not watching another NBA game this year that doesn't involve the sixers. f--- that league. Millsap should be a man and turn down his spot.

    I've got Paul George in my fantasy team and he's been toxic for me. Meanwhile Embiid, not only a man that can get the crowd going, has managed to make the Sixers the no.1 defensive team in the league while he's on the court.

    To be fair, the numbers he's putting up with a minute restriction are historic

    I know I sound like a whinge, but the actual All Star game is probably the most underwhelming thing about the whole weekend. It's just terrible basketball but I would've loved to have seen Embiid in it. Rising Star challenge gonna be so much better. :allears:
