    I would pay a lot of money to see Bill Simmon's reaction to this trade live

    There's gotta be some behind-the-curtain mess with Brown.
    The IDK is probably John Collins. All depends on Embiid.

    Do we think Paul George will play more games than his age this season?

    Last year at 35 he played 37 games....


    Who the heck is going to score for Boston?

    Tatum 30ppg
    George 17ppg* (for how many games?)
    Pritchard/ White !?

    Yikes.

    The Celtics save some money. Has to be a lot of tax money or something.

    Big 4? I’ve never seen that fourth guy before in my life. Is that Edgecombe? Not sure he qualifies yet.

    First off, wtf. That was the best offer? Meanwhile, Kessler was just traded to two juicy unprotected picks in 2031 and 2033 and two pick swaps.

    Podcast P certainly had at the best neutral value, no? So, one really solid pick potentially and another pick that probably won't be that great.

    If Boston was willing to take back PG as the main talent coming in, certainly they would have entertained a KD plus matching value in picks? I am not even in favor of trading for JB, but at that price point...

    Oh snap... must have gotten Tobias Harris' ex-team confused. So, it's going to be Dean Wade.

    Brown is the ultimate test of counting stats vs advanced stats and clearly the league has spoken.

    lol Morey should have a statue in Philly now. I know he got fired, but Paul was there because of him.

    I guess Stone thinks Sengun and Amen will both be in the Top 10 next year.

    Bob Myers took over the 76ers, what a huge difference.

    Got rid of Daryl Morey and instantly making smart decisions.
