    Hardy Says Keyonte Has a Chance to be a Star

    Yep. He’s a 25+ ppg guy in his prime, easily. IMO the verdict is in on Keyonte. Clear keeper and franchise cornerstone.

    Hardy Says Keyonte Has a Chance to be a Star

    He’s a total bucket and he drips swag. Gem of a draft pick. His rookie year didn’t set the world on fire like Donovan’s (mainly because we decided to suck) but he has a chance to be a similar caliber player. How many guys can score the way he can in any given draft? I say 1-2.

    Who are your 'untouchables" with this coming off-season?

    I'm actually going to quote and amend my prior statement. Keyonte, and Lauri (if willing to extend), would be untouchable if I'm JZ/DA. Full stop. Lauri is 26, 7 feet tall, and shoots 50/40/90 without dominating the ball. There's a reason every other contending team dreams of adding him; he's...

    Who are your 'untouchables" with this coming off-season?

    I generally agree that there are few, if any, untouchables. IMO, we'd be crazy to deal Keyonte and/or Lauri (assuming he's interested in signing an extension) for obvious reasons. There's also a few more "nice pieces" that would be great to have long-term. That said, the above is completely...

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 8 - To Convey Or Not To Convey and Let’s Start A Discussion About Collin Sexton

    I can't remember the last time I did a complete 180 on a player like I have with Sexton this season. This stretch of great play is now going on 4 months. Good for him. So many guys deal with injuries early on and then can't get off the schneid. The Mitchell trade continues to look better and...

    Isaiah Thomas to the Stars

    The IT thing was bad. No question about it. The flip side is, part of his brilliant track record is is shrewdness. It's unfortunate but there is a cold, calculated streak to anyone who rises to that echelon. I won't support any truly evil decisions, but have no issue with non-emotional...

    Let's hope not, lol.

    Hardy's regret

    He may have those thoughts but It's also impossible to know ahead of time that what played out in Boston was going to transpire. And - who knows if he actually was next in line? Obviously, he's DA's guy, but maybe he wasn't Brad Stevens'? I'm sure if they really wanted Hardy for the long-term...

    I would be floored if Knecht was on the board at 9.

    2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

    Collier working his way back into alpha dog form. 31 today and flat dominating the game down the stretch. He is not an elite-level athlete at the NBA level, but he has a really savvy streak to his game and has stretches where he gets whatever he wants. He’s still an interesting one to me. In...

    Do you want our pick to convey this year?

    Going back to the deadline I really didn’t think we could trade enough (within reason) to drop squarely into the top 10. Boy was I wrong. #7-8 feels entirely possible if we keep this up.

    Do you want our pick to convey this year?

    I still want the pick to convey - I'd rather see us play + win with the young guys and have the extra FRP in 2025. But that looks pretty unlikely at this point. Oh well, it will make May/June more interesting.

    Keyonte's pouting now needs to be taken seriously

    IMO, OP’s point is valid - his body language can be cheeks at times. He’s also only 20. Not going to crucify him for it yet. If it’s still an issue in two years then we may have an issue. All in all though he has been awesome. Tons of talent and swagger for days. He plays with an innate, cold...

    TMZ reports that Kobe Bryant passed away.

    And we felt the need to bump this thread and beat a dead horse because…?

    Do you want our pick to convey this year?

    Of course, and I'm not saying there's zero value. As a fan, I'm simply saying I would rather see us: 1) Compete, win enough to push for the play-in, and be relevant for the rest of this season 2) Have 3 FRPs in 2025 with the potential to get 2-3 impact guys or trade up for one supreme impact...

    Do you want our pick to convey this year?

    Generally don't like punting on drafts, but I do believe this draft sucks. Would much prefer to just take our medicine now and have 1-2 bites at the lottery apple for 2025 (non-zero chance that we and/or Cleveland suck next year if they sell early Donovan).

    Comparable rookie years to Keyonte's. (I thought I had linked just the PER 36 min section of each player) Just look at the rookie year Per 36 min

    Too lazy to look it up but I also suspect he gets to the line more than those two did in year one.

    The Rest of the Season Plan - Kind Of

    Maxey isn't going anywhere. I think the 76ers just max him outright, and would certainly match any max offer he got elsewhere.

    Potential Trade Targets

    Jaden Springer for a 2nd is a great pickup by Boston. He had our guards in jail.

    Potential Trade Targets

    Nice move by TOR to get out of DS's contract.
