Lol JK

Would we rather have Grant Williams or DDV? I’m guessing they’ll be about the same price. Ship has sailed, obviously, just something I’ve been wondering.

My favorite moment with ruru will always be the time he told me I wasn’t qualified to talk about basketball because I thought that Andrea Bargnani sucked

Further to the Grant Williams trade:

Seems like a few teams w front office stability (San Antonio, OKC, etc.) have discovered they can exploit other team’s impatience by trading for draft pics far into the future.

Everything Ruru said was proven wrong yet he never changed his position. He was like the anti-Covid vaccine guys that told me that I’d be dead in two years if I took it. It’s been two years and I’m still alive and yet they still won’t admit they were wrong.

For all the dog lovers out there, my beloved 15 yo pet is in decline, very difficult to deal with..

Different approaches. Ruru had an axe to grind and was going to grind it even if it took off his own leg. Strat just fell in love with two players, which makes him something of the ultimate fan. One has to appreciate his commitment, even if it was toward the wrong choices.

One of my very favorite parts of Knickerblogger is when someone starts posting just how absolutely terrible RJ is in terms of all the varying statistical evidence, and E weirdly goes dark. Sort of like when he is silent during win streaks during the season. Which says all there needs to be said about that troll.

Ruru for sure, BBA. He came here ugly because of Melo and kept preaching about gravity till the day he was traded.

Though I wonder if Strat has been posting on Mavs boards the last few years…

Real question, if all the GMs know that IQ is better than RJ and Grimes then why aren’t we just keeping the better player?

Why must we trade him? Why not actually keep a young, talented two-way player? Like Dink_Jr said earlier why did we trade out of the last 3 drafts to accumulate extra draft capital if we still need to move our best young player to facilitate a trade?

Miami is going to get Dame and they not only didn’t accumulate future picks they also are missing a couple of their own.

Either all this draft capital means we get to write the terms of our trade and keep promising young players or it was a waste of time and we are short rookies in three consecutive drafts for nothing.

Revised the question, whose love is stronger: ruru for Melo, E for RJ or Strat for KP and Frank : – )

The Celtics are going to bring back Jaylen Brown. I don’t see how you can say they are worse than last year when they added KP for Marcus Smart. They are just different. They’ll be way better on offense and slip a bit on defense without Smart, but I don’t think they are done making moves. Grant Williams was close to irrelevant for them in terms of winning games.
