Is that a faux-velvet suit? or suede? velour maybe?

It looks the velour track suits that everyone wore in middle school.

Bagley is willing to go to Sacramento. Jackson is willing to go to Memphis. Sacramento and Memphis are willing to go to them.

Love Chauncey’s player comp corner, where he pulls a name out of a hat and says poof, this guy reminds me of that guy.

Ok. Makes a little more sense.
Ralph Wiley writing in Sports Illustrated in 1985:

Deborah Ross was the first Committee member to speak. For five years before Ewing went to Georgetown she had been his tutor, working to help him bridge the language gap between proper Bostonese and Ewing's native Jamaican patois. "I saw another side of Patrick," she told the student audience. "His achievements, academic and athletic, are not unrelated. Patrick agreed to participate in the learning process. You can't teach somebody who doesn't want to learn. Patrick had the willingness to accept an enormous challenge...and to suffer losses...but never to refuse to work.... I never gave Patrick a graduation present, until now."

They must not like the top of the draft

Wonder if they trade down a second time


although I hope they use that extra asset to increase the package for a Rozier trade
I think they just LOVE Trae and wisely added a future asset while getting their guy.

Give Orlando whatever it takes to get Bamba.
Brown?

If I am GM in Orlando, I don't think Boston has anything short of Brown that makes me consider it.

They may trade him, but I can't imagine it would be for 2019 picks, even if the Celts throw in Rozier, just not enough meat on that bone

Would Orlando say No to Rozier, Sacto pick, Memphis pick? That could be two top three picks, but my theory is if the Celtics already have Tatum and Brown as future max players, if Ainge is positive that Bamba is the real deal, make tat move now. Of course, those picks could end up 9 and 11, but Ainge has enough gravitas to survive if the trade was made and the Magic got a 2 and a 1 out of it.
