What a trade. I'm sad to see Thomas go. I do think Kyrie is a more valuable player given his age and contract, however I think the Celtics paid a bit too much. We could have given one of our later 1st round picks and still beaten any other offers.



Tough call.  I think Irving is probably a better all-around player than Thomas, but when LeBron was still in Miami and Kyrie was "the guy" in Cleveland, the Cavs weren't all that good, and things that have been reported recently suggest that Irving isn't a particularly good teammate, to say the least.

He was in his early 20s then and inexperienced. He's just turned 25, got a lot of playoff experience seeing how successful teams work.

I think everything will depend on how Brown and Taytum pan out. With Crowder gone they can get a lot of development. If they're as good as many project the team will be great. If they bust, so will the team.

Yeah, I'd love to see Tim out on the court.

Why is Tim cryin'?

Just watched the season opener.

Damn, I'd heard that Hayward had been injured, but I didn't think it would be that gruesome. :(

Maybe he'll be back by the playoffs. Then we can make some noise as a 6 or 7th seed.

I'm not going to stop saying We. It's the natural thing to do, almost all sports fans do it when referring to their team in casual conversation.

What makes you think that he merely sounds like one?
