Will Morris go to jail? Will he be suspended?

[StephenCurry30]

I doubt morris faces jail time. The details are murky and from what everyone is saying the guy Marcus and Markieff morris allegedly beat, was beating/raping the twins mother. Guy deserved what he got. he and his brother may get suspensions from nba due to the principal but I wouldn't be worried about this

Where does Kyrie Irving go?

Where does Kyrie Irving go?

 

Look out if he goes to Minnesota.

[cp176]

Doesn't anyone want to play with Lebron?

[Jasonbay44]

Kyrie is so overrated. I hope Cavs trade him to some s***** franchise like the Nets.

Kyrie Irving is better than John Wall.

[Jasonbay44]

Kyrie Irving is better than John Wall.

 

No he isn't. He does one thing better than Wall, shoot. Wall is better at every facet of the game. His passing and defensive ability is on another planet compared to Kyrie.

That's true. Otto Porter should give Wall at least $50 million dollars of that $100 million he got from the Wizards. Gortat should kick in some too.

As Jared Dudley said "John Wall gets teammates paid".

 

Martell Webster should give his whole deal to Wall.

lol is that dude even in the league anymore?

[Northern Star]

Is it just me who thought Kyrie was a girl's name?

Steph Curry is playing in the Web.com golf tournament this weekend. He shot a 4-over 74 in the first round. Respectable.

even for one of those little fellas (although he actually would dwarf most of the Sox) that is not bad

[Bellhorn04]

Back to back 74's. He did better than a lot of people expected him to and finished ahead of some real golfers.

[Thunder]

Yeah I was rooting for Curry. He embodies much of what I want myself to be. Plus, there's his wife.

[Jasonbay44]

I actually see quite a few Stephen Curry haters, will never understand it, seems like a really good guy and literally has no drama/off the court issues. He overcame a decent amount early on in his career (wasn't heavily recruited, went to Davidson, lots of early injuries) and even sort of screwed himself by signing a "cheap" contract early in his career and never complained. I don't care for the Warriors at all and hate that KD went there, but I really like Steph, he's a humble, great player. Probably best shooter ever.

[BstHcpr]

I loved watching him play at Davidson. I couldn't believe he fell as far as he did. The greatest shooter I've ever seen even in 2007.

Celtics just got Kyrie Irving for IT, Crowder, Zizic, and Nets 1st rounder.

[Spudboy]

Hate to give up Crowder or that pick but other otherwise I like this deal.

 

IT still has to pass a physical. This may not be over just yet.

[Jasonbay44]

I don't like deal at all for Celtics. Difference between Kyrie and IT isn't enough to warrant giving up Crowder, a good prospect and the Nets pick. Cavs now have some good trade bait to acquire another star.

I think this deal was about the long term too. I don't feel great about giving IT the max as a 30 year old with a bad hip. Eventually, he's not going to have the explosiveness to score at the rim at well, and he'll be an even worse defensive liability than he is now.

 

Crowder is a replaceable part with Tatum and Brown, and Zizic looked like garbage in the Summer League. That pick hurts though. I'm surprised they low balled the Pacers and Bulls for George and Butler, but went huge for Irving.

I agree with everything in this post except the loss of Crowder. Tatum and Brown have skills but they don't have an overall game like Crowder.

 

But the Sox got Morris so I guess ( or hope ) that it evens out.

I think Crowder is a good player on a good contract, but he was looking at a lot of bench minutes with Hayward on the roster. I'm a big Morris twins fan, and I think Tatum is already a better offensive talent than Crowder. They'll miss the perimeter defense though.

I still think the Cavs are favorites in the East.

[Spudboy]

I still think the Cavs are favorites in the East.

 

Yes, probably.

[Emp9]

Losing that #1 pick doesn't sit well with me at all.

[cp176]

i think that you are probably right here but it is close. If Brown and Tatum come along, i 'm going with us. This is a very very good trade for Celtics IMO. I appreciate what both IT and Crowder gave to us, but it wasn't going to be enough going forward. "Backing up the Brinks" truck for IT just wasn't going to happen and I think Crowder was destined to be a role player. I'm very anxious to see what the Coach Stevens can accomplish with this group. Just another great move for the future for this team!

You'll get over it when Kyrie Irving is dropping 35 a night.

As long as the Cavs have LeBron, they have to be considered the favorites. I still think Celtics get bounced in five or six.
