Did you guys know that Woj account from 20 minutes or so ago was fake?
And those ball caps the draftees are wearing are fucking hideous.

Well it isn't going to be Butler, so you think we're shipping Tatum for PG13?
Wilbon when the Butler trade was announced: "Good haul for Chicago."
Now, an hour later, "the Bulls got fleeced."

I meant his Best Available list...every BAP that was #1 on his list has been picked...I think Tatum was #5 though
Right. What is he doing there, anyway? The layoffs were so deep they have to get a guy who hasn't covered basketball in forever on the set?
Greenwich Country Day where he was a student for 12 years. I taught him American history in 8th, and he was my best baseball player in grades 8 and 9. A GREAT kid.
He's not a bball head but he is calm and a fan. I think he's fine. He sort of gets to play the role of fan asking the experts and again, he's doing a fine job.

Sources: For now, Boston-Indiana talks on Paul George have stalled.

You guys are much bigger fans of Wilbon---I liked him as a columnist but I feel he started mailing it in a decade ago preparation-wise.
Yeah I mean, it's mildly surprising they didn't have SAS on in some capacity.
I think the player at 18 matters a lot to Ainge. I feel he has someone he is targeting there and there are other pieces to a deal to be negotiated. Maybe it's the 3 or maybe he's holding out to give up less......I'd be shocked if Tatum wasn't involved in these discussions though or else the Celtics would be welcoming him.
I also think you are underrating George and the amount of money he'd be leaving on the table to jump ship next summer. Ainge has full confidence that George, like many others, would fall in love with Boston once he was here if he buys in. Sure it's a risk.....but that is why Ainge replaced the draft pick when he traded with Philly. Even if George walks we have the Lakers or Kings high lottery pick/possible #1 pick.
He's turned into a crotchety old get off my lawn guy. Kornheiser has made fun of him on various podcasts for it. Anything stats related he hates.
Wow what a surprise. Danny hasn't traded for a big name player in 10 years. IT doesn't count.
I was about to say "But kevin garnett! but then i realized that was ten years ago.... shit
And yet, his team won 53 games last year and made ECF while accumulating assets...
No one really unless anyone wants to count Butler. That's not the point, just not surprised that talks stalled. They always do with Ainge.
Getting to where I'd like to see Celts try to trade back in to take a shot at Giles, even with the cap questions about chasing a max guy
Tonight isn't like the mid-season trade deadline. This is posturing and tomorrow is another day. Of course they could simply cut it off but my point was that a deal doesn't HAVE to get done by the end of the night.
This is how any mid-draft trade works - see: all the picks wearing the wrong hats.
Won't George be looking for a similar 2+1 deal or whatever it is that Haywode is looking for this year? So he can then again hit the open market as a 10 year vet? I don't think the money is all that different
The draft isn't over why would Ainge be giving a press conference?
