Unless those Nets picks turn into top 7 selections, Philly shyts on any offer Ainge can present.

Nets are probably picking in the lottery this year, and if brittle bones Lopez gets hurt, they'll be bottom 5.

Regardless even though I would love it if it happened, I don't think Indy will trade him. He's got like 3 years left on his deal

You have a point :ehh:
I still think he and Boogie will be traded, both teams are nothing more than treadmill status, and neither will resign without testing FA first. Next summer is when those rumors flood up.

Of course the ATL
better to just throw Turner out at the 4 and hope for the best

Did you see him in summer league? :heh: He's not ready to start breh & with Mahinimi in there they'd get virtually no production & all fouls from their starting 4 & 5. Can't do it

This is one of those for the good of the team moves...George P needs to get over it & play ball

its a copycat league..

nikkas seen the Warriors and think that's their meal ticket..

But they dont have a Steph Curry at point guard..

Ian Mahinmi starting though?:dead:
thing is, I think Bird is trying to copy what the heat did when playing LeBron at the 4. either way...neither the Warriors nor the Heat played like that for entire seasons. Bogut and Green were their starting front court and then went small in stretches in the game.

So what exactly is the purpose of this? Is this just about Larry Bird establishing his dominance or this supposed to help them in some way? I am really not seeing how it helps them. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can school me? :ld:
How does this make sense? I really want to know.
It makes sense because they have the worst collective of bigs in the league. Despite the fact there's the risk of it being a net negative on the defensive end, if his minutes at the 4 are handled appropriately than it improves their win probability.
