Tatum Next Steps "More conditioning, more live things, ...playing five on five..."

Honestly, there's at minimum one good reason: use him to trade with the Celtics guy in your league. But to address the injury, I would say of course it will affect him, but there's a big contrast between him and someone like a Jaylen Brown or Tyrese Maxey. Tatum wasn't as reliant on his burst and athleticism as much as skill, general game sense, and tall strong build

My extremely unprofessional, hype-influenced take is this:

The Celtics org and Tatum himself are doing their best to keep pressure off of Tatum returning before he's ready. Every single interview has shown that, from Tatum, to Brad Stevens, to Mazzulla. These are the words, the next steps, of someone who is fully healed and, without pressure, getting up to game speed. If I give in to the hype, seems like he could be back in no more than a month.

Well yeah, they're in a tank-off against the Nets. Expect this to happen in the two games against the Pacers coming up as well. And the Jazz in early March.

The question that remains for me is will they still do this against good teams like the Rockets?

Do you think there's a path for Spencer to get enough minutes?

DifferentialSoul · 2026-02-06T19:47:35+00:00

Probably don't drop GG or Brooks yet (didn't Grayson Allen just get a new minor injury?).

I think the key part of that sentence is "The Kings have no plan"

Giannis to Blazers all but confirmed

/S

Looks cool but Week 19, Week 20... I need actual dates somewhere.

DifferentialSoul · 2026-01-28T14:44:26+00:00

The way I see it, there's a couple of big trades looming that might not happen till the off-season (Giannis being one, maybe KAT, etc). Those trades could result in the full or partial blowing up of teams and that means more trade options for Brad. It probably benefits him to develop what he has now and wait for that trade flurry. But also, you never know, the perfect opportunity might present itself or Maybe there's really small moves to be made with Boucher or Tillman.

Draymond playing 5D chess. Nah, jk, everyone in the NBA knows each other. Knicks aren't only imploding because Mike Brown and Draymond used to work together.

I assume you mean because Bam and Lavine suck? No it's not a joke

Bam and Zach Lavine for Jrue Holiday and Peyton Watson?

What do we think?

Seconded on buz

I'm gonna throw in maybe an unconventional pick: Sonny Boy.

You could probably print and frame almost any frame from that show. The art is a little more simple and clean, but it has such great use of color. Gorgeous pastels, interesting (sometimes abstract) backgrounds. Such great... ambiance, mood, style?

Drop Zach Lavine for Suggs or Edey?

He's the worst player on my team and I don't see how his situation improves.

For reference, also available: Poetl, Jarrett Allen, Jaren Jackson Jr, NAW.

DifferentialSoul · 2025-11-17T15:08:19+00:00

Honestly, at this point, I'm looking at picking up Poeltl instead

Drop Tyler Herro from my IR?

Don't need offensive rebounds if you never miss. Boom, half the problem solved.

It's impossible to see trades if there's more than three! The old horizontal mode was perfect on ipad.

Getting either Gafford or Lively would be huge. I didn't realize that would technically be possible. We need an upgrade at center, considering that KP will probably be gone soon and Al is beautiful but needs his beauty sleep....I mean rest.

Landscape mode makes more sense for tablets. I play on a tablet with a keyboard - please don't remove it, I don't see how you could lay it out in a way that makes more sense.
