This is a big offseason for Boston. They gotta pay IT this offseason and need to make their moves before they extend him. IMO they have to be aggressive if they are going to pay IT $30M a year.

no thanks to blake. He's injury prone and he's going to command max money.

Well regardless of that...according to rumors they're going after him and Hayward and hope to land one of them.

Heard an interesting convo on the radio today. How many players who was supposed to go #1 or #2 had a losing college record? Fultz, for being this great supposedly, went 9-20 (something like that) even Simmons had a respectable 19-9 record in college. Any other players with a losing college record who went #1 or #2? Can't think of any of the top of my head

Good observation but I think his team was terrible. Ben Simmons was a much better prospect and higher potential. But, I think Fultz gonna be a star as well. Reminds me of Brandon Roy. I think Lonzo and Josh Jackson are gonna be amazing too.

I'm excited to see Simmons and Embiid play together.

Jerry West goes to Clippers...and I'm really surprised by that. Didn't see that coming. The Clippers?!?

I wonder what he thinks about bringing CP3 and Griffin back...

Ive heard he has a pretty pessimistic/realistic disposition, so the Warriors being a "completed" project, he probably felt like there was no challenge left, and he wasn't really needed anymore. The Clippers will be a true challenge for him.

Fox is high on the Suns radar as well.

Lebron James, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Westbrook and Harden are going to get together and pull a team out of a hat, then make a pact to sign there ASAP at a fraction of their respective worth. Once assembled they will dethrone the Warriors who at that point will have a .975 post season record spanning multiple years.

The Warriors will respond by everyone taking paycuts and signing Giannis

IMO Josh Jackson may have the highest ceiling in this draft. Has to go to the right team and coaching staff to get the most out of him.
