A player who can average 25, 5, and 5 and guard the other team's best player isn't a superstar?

Lonzo Ball, Fultz, Monk, Josh Jackson, Tatum will be better than Paul George? Thats basically what Ainge is betting on.

PG-13 is a damn great player.

But the Pacers were asking for too much (3 of Brown, Bradley, Crowder, Smart in addition to the 2017 Nets pick). Ainge made the right decision.

I'm pissed at Ainge for not getting Noel, especially since Colangelo's dumb ass moved him for virtually 2 second-round draft picks.

I've never seen a player his age with a game as complete as Fultz.
For someone with his talent they shouldn't lose so many games especially by blowouts. Ben Simmons at least beat Kentucky. Something doesn't click for me, but like I said I could be completely wrong and he can end up killing in the league.

NEVER?!?!?!?!?


18 at the time.......

Well I'm not going to speak on anything I wasn't around to witness, but damn sure not Kyrie Irving :mjlol: Fultz might be a better all around player than Kyrie all ready.

this thread is hilarious.....cats are upset at gms (i.e. ainge) for not making moves, while also being upset at teams for trading certain players (i.e.noel)....not seeing the same reason is being used for both: potential....that's the magic word of the league....potential is what has, does, and will continue to run the nba.....that's why fans want teams to hold on to players no matter what/too long cause of what potentially could be; and why gms/teams want to hold on to draft picks cause of what potentially might come...but all need to remember the most important thing about the word potential: it just means you havent done it yet...

...anyway, that's all i wanted to say...i'm go back to reading the updates cause it's entertaining me at work...
