    There's a different expectation on a "professional sport journalist" who gets paid posting stuff than random fans posting random trade ideas for free on a fan site.

    Yes, what a backstabber. Talk sweet to Stephen Curry, Draymond Green.

    Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson of course was slighted in the media blaming most of the problems on him instead of Draymond Green Temper Tantrums.

    No Thanks. Fred VanVleet is way too important to the players.

    Celtics GM Danny Ainge Trading old Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry for Nets Picks.

    Bill Simmons - I have no idea what the Celtics are doing? (Celtics Traded down 1st to 3rd pick) Danny Ainge selects Jayson Tatum.

    Jaylen Brown Selected in the Next Draft.

    Bill Simmons - It isn't working with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

    Win a Championship.

    Bill Simmons still trying the same antics and stupidity on the Rockets Young Players. He hates the players. Don't watch the Rockets, mind your business, you are scared of the Rockets dethroning the Celtics in the Future.

    I still don't know who Kever O'Conner is, and this is still a horrible idea.

    I thought he was a decent reporter / journalist, guess he’s just that nerd with a blog who are valued as national writers now.

    This is madeup nonsense. He always railed against the people who said they should break up tatum and brown.

    What does this have to do with Bill Simmons? KOC left the Ringer and is with Yahoo Sports now.

    This is terrible. Way worse than what I was seeing for potential KD or Booker trades.

    Curry is 36. We would have one or two years to try to win a title, and I still don't know if we would be favored against OKC, and would have mortgaged almost the entire future for that chance.

    It does raise the question to me though- would you rather win a championship and then suck for the next 5+ years, or be competitive for years but never quite win it all?

    The stark reality is "being competitive" counts for nothing. You might as well finish in last place. What counts is trophies, and they give those to the teams that win the most playoff series.

    I like these Rocket players, and I don't like the idea of giving away the future (that is, future shots at championships), but I think this core group we have could compete, defeat the top teams, and win a championship if they had one more guy. We need a scorer/consistent perimeter threat and maybe a veteran who can bang with huge forwards.

    I don't agree with the "championship or bust" kind of thinking. If the odds are evenly distributed, each team would win a championship every 30 years. What are fans supposed to watch for all those years in between?

    You can't win it all every year. But a good organization should be competitive most of the years. The path to the title is as important as the title itself from an entertainment point of view.
