#

Jrue made the top 75 list?

clear vigil
#

Is that really your argument?

eager thistle
#

That list really means nothing but saying Jrue is better than Lillard is like saying Draymond is better than LeBron

clear vigil
#

Jrue Holiday is literally a better all around player than lillard

eager thistle
#

I'm saying that calling a mediocre player better than a person in the top 15 makes no sense

#

Oh we're trolling, alr then

Play-In ≠ Playoffs
He played good that game but the team didn’t show up a whole. Besides the point

#

The guys been declining in almost every metric

#

Well

#

Apparently Pat Riley never actually called back the Blazers to improve his offer

Masai is a terrible gm. How does he choke not getting dame after being front runners

And I don’t care what Marc Spears says, I doubt they were ever ‘front runners’ for the full day that he said it

quick tendon
#

Why would he go to the raptors

#

That make no sense

#

Better off goin to Celtics then the raps

vocal schooner
#

Ngl we so cooked

gusty crystal
#

Dame trade be lit

vocal schooner
#

and you telling me Masai couldn’t beat that offer because he was scared of trading OG??

honest zephyr
#

😓

#

if they was trading for dame we weren't trading pascal

vocal schooner
#

sure but Scottie will never be of Dames caliber

#

true but raptors would’ve been contenders with dame

cyan sonnet
#

Boooo dame lillard

carmine trench
#

Blocking shots? D white led all guards in blocked shots last year so he’s gotta be up there

#

Ooouuu all time? Dwade def up there I’d have to think on that more

vocal schooner
#

I really hope raptors either trade Pascal/ OG or they make a win now move and get Jrue or Harden

#

Prolly not harden tho

carmine trench
#

He got steals for days though he had quick hands

#

I mean idk Kobe’s blocks numbers but he was a dog on defense so he gotta make the list at least.

#

Yo he balled out crazy and dropped 52 in a playoff game a few days later that ish was emotional asf as a Celtics fan

honest zephyr
#

if we were trying to contend and win sure, but if we don't get a good enough player to try and win now he'll prolly get traded

cyan sonnet
#

Fr

honest zephyr
#

not sure who they'd give

carmine trench
#

I mean sadly due to his injury it ended up being the right deal but we did not take care of him loyalty wise for sure. That season was special even by Boston sports standards.

prime aspen
#

Like man deserves a 1 or 2 year slightly above vet min deal

#

Just as a send off.

carmine trench
#

If he’s healthy he could still ball for a non contender, we wouldn’t give him the burn to make it worth it for him. Maybe when he decides it’s over he will sign a one day to retire a Celtic.

lilac brook
#

Jrue to MIN, Conley and a TOR second to MIA, Lowry to TOR, Herro to POR now please

honest zephyr
#

lowry back in toronto? 👍

eager thistle
#

Guys we can still get Jrue Holiday!

#

Is the new bucks team a dynasty

cunning fulcrum
#

No, dame is too old for it to be a dynasty I think

static kelp

At least 1 chip

charred basalt
#

1 chip not a dynasty 💀

honest zephyr
#

ye

charred basalt
#

they can win 1 tho

honest zephyr
#

they'll probably get 1 chip, 2 max

static kelp
#

Hopefully 3

charred basalt
#

if they won 3 rings giannis ends up top 5 all time lmao

#

he already has 1

restive gyro
#

The bucks are not gonna win 3 yes dame is good but he is also 33 and id put money that they don’t 3peat

#

Realistically they get 1 if that

#

There’s so much competition

charred basalt
#

at that point he better than everyone except the big 3

#

thats a big if tho

compact pawn
#

If Dame wins all the FMVPs then it's Dame coming for Currys spot

charred basalt
#

giannis will never be better than bron based off skill and media gawking alone

#

i rly want him to succeed tho i love him

honest zephyr
#

giannis needs to develop a jumpshot

#

maybe then he'll have the means to be better than bron

charred basalt
#

imagine he trains with hakeem just to end up passing him all time

static kelp
#

🚂 trains?

charred basalt
#

he gotta make top 10 first before anything

#

if he wins another ring he will

#

dudes like wilt and hakeem gotta move at that point

#

i got curry way higher than 10

#

him and giannis are the only bigs in history to win mvp and dpoy same season

#

i think its closer than ppl think

#

thats why mj the only guard to do it lmao

#

i got shaq at 7

#

curry at 8 atm

#

im ngl i go back n forth on hakeem and shaq all the time

honest zephyr
#

what's y'all's top 10

#

shaq top 6 🤷‍♂️

charred basalt
#

its the same way i am with magic and curry

static kelp
#

Mac-10 with the bang bangs. He’s been killing it.

charred basalt
#

curry lowkey creates more on offense than magic does despite being a worse playmaker

#

also curry a better defender

#

magic defense overrated af

honest zephyr
#

magic was just taller than other point guards

charred basalt
#

yeah but hes a traffic cone on the perimeter lmao

honest zephyr
#

i got him at 4

charred basalt
#

ig u could say curry gets abused too

#

curry also led league in steals tho

#

steals dont always tell the whole story

#

otherwise iverson would be a goat defender

#

dude used to get steals like crazy

#

i love cp

The admiral David Robinson he was a physical specimen/freak of nature.

honest zephyr

admiral is one of my favorite players oat

carmine trench

Spurs got so lucky he was injured a whole year and they ended up with Timmy too

One of the craziest duos down low ever for sure

Ngl as a Celtics fan I’m not sure if I would prefer him on Miami or bucks it’s scary hours in the east either way.

torn ravine
