    I don't get why people think Randle is anything special. A 6'8" PF who can't defend or shoot? His ceiling is a guy coming off the bench to get inefficient buckets. He's a rich man's Michael Beasley.

    Yes. True.

    If Celtics were just selecting Fultz and come late July the Rockets had struck out across the board in decent FAs id be all over it.

    Unfortunately looks like Celtics are moving this pick anyway.

    My dream scenario is he one I laid out -
    Harden for Fultz, Jaylen Brown, Nets #1 next year

    Then next year with Nets pick and your own pick hope to get Michael Porter and Luca Doncic

    Fultz, Doncic, Brown, Porter, Capela

    Rebuild done

    Nobody thinks he's special. This is a lowball offer.

    If ainge is wanting Butler add party of a 3 way trade it makes sense to include Philly+future picks.

    #1 for #3, Lakers future unprotected, Sacramento future unprotected is probably what he's aiming for.

    Talk to garpax and offer the Lakers and Sacramento and another future 1st they own (clips, grid or their own). That's a lot of future value for Chicago while Boston keeps the #3 and draft Jackson who they apparently like a lot.

    If they don't like that and decline you can offer the #3 and keep the Lakers and kings unprotected picks and add it to the treasure chest of assets while adding Butler.

    I think this is ainge just trying to work the best possible future flexibility and asset collection while improving the team as much as possible today.

    The #1 for #3+future 1st doesn't make a ton of sense, and unless it is part of a grander scheme I don't think it happens straight up.

    Reading Some Lakers fans seems like he's also pretty dumb, he has a ton of talent too so, the Beasley comparison may be perfect lol

    He worked hard so far, during off season and making some amazing work towards his body, is this going to translate on the court that's different question (but at least he will get more chicks), his still young and haven't even got his second contract, so it might be still some future for him.

    Yes. BJ played outstanding defence on that possession. Completely shut down DMo, and despite having a great size advantage, DMo failed to cash in.

    Hahahahaha "BasketballInsiders" & Steve Kyler...

    Steve doesn't need to "slow down", he just needs to shut it down. FRAUD.
