    If he was tall and wasn't such a liability on defense, I would have him ranked high, but he's not.

    He's 28 and Celtics clearly do not think he's worth the max.

    Is Thomas better than
    Harden
    Paul
    Westbrook
    Lillard
    Curry
    Wall
    Irving
    Dragic
    Conley
    Kemba
    Lowry
    Ball?

    Didn't think so.

    Robbery for Cleveland. All contingent on Lebron's departure and health of IT and his contract though

    Boston got good but Thomas + Crowder is just as good if not better then just Irving

    good deal for boston. nets pick was fair. anything less than that and i'd be pissed that ainge got away with another robbery.

    sucks for cavs since all they really get is the nets pick. thomas won't get them over the hump this year and he'll leave next year after lebron bolts.

    who's ready to watch the cavs/celtics in the ECF though?!

    Can we take a moment to appreciate the greatness of LeBron the GM aka LeGM? Managed to get a guy that's on Kyrie's level in IT who some would even argue is better than the former, a big wing defender which they've lacked since Bron's return and a top 5 draft pick in '18.

    Wow.

    he is most certainly better than Dragic, Kemba, and Ball who hasn't even played 1 game in the NBA...

    He was a top 10 PG last year, so yeah, no, most teams don't have a PG as good or better than him. Here u go moving the goalposts again. Not being worth the max and not being a starting caliber player are 2 totally different things...

    They wouldn't do george+Blodsoe for kyrie because lebron didn't commit long term, but they want to do kyrie for IT who has 1 year left. That makes no sense.
