2018-2019 NBA Season

The Celtics will end up wasting a golden opportunity to contend. Horford is on the decline, Hayward was hugely overpaid even before the injury and Kyrie isn't a guy who can win you a title as your best player. They should trade all assets for AD or somebody before it's too late but Ainge is too stingy.

Wild night in the NBA.
 
Damn... some pretty amazing revelations following the Butler trade.

Judging by the offers they'd received I definitely think the Wolves picked the best deal available. Heat was out of the running otherwise Josh Richardson would have been the best return. Mirotic I don't think would have moved the needle for the Wolves, neither would Eric Gordon. Covington gives them much needed defense and Saric a player of the future.

Butler decided he would play on Friday night, but he viewed it as the fork in the road. If the Timberwolves didn’t find a deal to fulfill his long-simmering trade request after that, he would begin to sit indefinitely, league sources told The Athletic. The Kings defeated Minnesota 121-110 to push the Timberwolves to 4-9 and a winless road trip; Butler had 13 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in 41 minutes. He had played almost 124 minutes in the last three games, all losses, and at halftime of the final one, the Wolves were informed that this was it for Butler, sources said.

After Butler plays 39 minutes in a loss to the Clippers that dropped the Wolves to 0-3 on the trip, the Wolves have conversations with the Heat about a possible trade. But the Heat inform the Wolves that Richardson is no longer on the table after his stellar start to the season, and the Wolves move on. Minnesota begins to engage seriously with Philadelphia, New Orleans and Houston. New Orleans’ package is headlined by Nikola Mirotic and an unprotected first-round draft pick and the Rockets’ proposal has Eric Gordon, Nene and two first-round picks, sources said. The 76ers come with their proposal around Robert Covington and Dario Saric, leaving the Timberwolves to deliberate.

Interesting Niko was offered up. We need to remind him that NO put him in trades for Jimmy when we recruit him this summer.
