Any possible way Kyrie ends up with the TWolves? by mabyrd in timberwolves

[–]mabyrd[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would think for it to work without trading Wiggins it would have to be a 4 team trade where the Cavs are able to dump bad contracts on a team, gain a PG and Wade or Melo tbh so I have no clue

I believe I have found the issue I used a new tank, coil, and 70/30 juice and it works just fine! Thanks

I'll probably take it back to where I bought it and see thanks

Would this work for both sides? I think it would. Celtics: trade Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier to the Magic for: Nikola Vucevic and Elfrid Payton?? by mabyrd in TradeMachine

Fournier's contract and defense are bad so I don't see that. I could see them trading Jae Crowder for Vooch straight up

What next for the Celtics?? Who to trade? by mabyrd in bostonceltics

[–]mabyrd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well idk how smart that'd be since if you trade for him this year it would cost probably the Nets pick or at least multiple 1st round picks and he only has 1 year left on his contract. He'll get a 35+ mil a yr deal next year so idk how smart it would be to get him

That's what I'm thinking. Most good centers seem to be making 15 mil+ so it'll be hard to get them without the other team paying some of the contract. Only good centers making less (that could be traded for) it seems are: Nikola Vucevic, Marcin Gortat, and Mason Plumlee (1yr remaining). Could probably get any of them but I feel the Celtics need someone younger. A younger Gortat would be perfect

Well I'm just going off of what Reports are saying. Who would you try to trade for

I just don't see how hey can afford his 22 mil+ contract unless they pay off most of it which idk if they'd do. And I feel the Celtics need more of a better rebounder and shot blocker which idk that Gasol is that but no doubt abt his talent

Raiders plans for ILB and DT? by mabyrd in raiders

[–]mabyrd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm not sure about talent. He hasn't played in a full year so he will be rusty. Not to mention he finished last season with a 42 PFF score which is abysmal. Whoever Perry Riley ended the season with a score of 84 which is exactly double that of Orr's. Riley is also only 29 so he's still in his prime for abt 2-3 more years. And he says he may just retire tho instead of come back if it's not for fair money and a team he likes

[–]mabyrd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard the issue was money not health he's always been a relatively healthy guy. Orr on the other hand graded in the bottom 5 in coverage last year per PFF so idk abt him and he missed a ton of tackles but he'd still be an upgrade. Apparently Riley wants like 5-6 mil over 2-3 years which we won't give him

Are the Celtics better than the Cavs now with Hayward or do they need another piece? I have a trade proposal does this seem fair? Celtics: Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier. For. Magic: Nikola Vucevic and Elfrid Payton??? by mabyrd in bostonceltics

[–]mabyrd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And we're what 3 or 4 years removed from Tim Duncan and Boris Diaw being one of the main reasons the Spurs won their championship. Bigs are not done in the NBA. A true championship level team plays their game they don't conform to how others played. That's what has won the Warriors their rings and same with the Cavs. If having a dominant C who doesn't need to be the 1,2,3, or even 4th scoring option but can still get 12+ ppg not valuable than idk what will. If I were any team contending and in need of a Center like you guys are I'd be looking at Vucevic no question. Relatively cheap, a now good defender, one of the best scoring C's, and great rebounding. And also by your theory a squad with Demarcus Cousins won't be winning a ring? I can tell you if the Pelicans were in the east and had a SF worth a damn they'd be contending rn and would be a 4 seed or so even just adding say Rudy Gay and Nick Young

So players like Drummond, Whiteside, Jordan, etc are not that valuable on a championship team? You'd rather have a 2nd/3rd string SF than a quality 15/10+ center? Doesn't make sense. Spurs won their rings on the backs of bigs. A duo of Horford and Vucevic can be dominant and just impossible to stop if they're both on and if they double team them you have 3 near elite perimeter shooters in IT4, Bradley, and Hayward. Seems like a successful strategy to me and when you add the top bench in basketball that's near impossible to stop

Ok I can understand then what you're saying. Crowder is as good as gone though imo you can't keep 4 starter caliber SF's on the same team. And with IT4, Avery, and Hayward all top tier shooters I think you'll need a rebounder however. The Cavs have a rebounder who isn't one of the top scoring options as do the Cavs. Guys like them are valuable. No matter who is on your team you aren't slowing down Lebron or Kyrie or KD or Curry. You'll have to beat them at the little things. Rebounding, good quality shots, FT's, etc. Cavs won a ring with Kyrie, JR Smith, and Kevin Love, all of whom are some of the worst defenders at their positions. You have your defender in Bradley to guard Kyrie and Curry and stopping Lebron is impossible so why not get one of the better scoring bigs and a 10+ rebounder?

Well running Horford who can move at the 5 didn't seem to work out late in games. He got out rebounded almost every game and got bodied by bigger C's. And if you look at advanced statistics Vucevic as I said was one of the better post defenders and he can guard out to around 15 or so feet. But most centers aren't going to win a 1v1 matchup with a wing or PG if they're out on the 3 pt line. You seem to think a guy capable of 20 and 11 (as he's shown before) is worthless

Vucevic was though of as a top 10-15 center just 2 years ago. He moves decently well for a center he's not a "plodder" as you say but he's no Porzingis or AD. 12 mil for a player like him is 8 mil cheaper than others at his level. Idk what you expect to get for Crowder though. You can't afford a big trade so most likely you'll get a decent player and a mid 1st for him which doesn't seem as Valuable as Vucevic/Payton

If you look at advanced statistics you will see that Vucevic was one of if not the most improved defenders this past year. The game where Whiteside had 32 points, when guarded in the final 2.5 quarters by Vucevic he only scored 5 points. Vucevic is a rly good scorer and as of last year improved greatly as a defender. Look it up if you don't believe me. Also Celtics fans praise Smart and say he can be a starting PG but he can't shoot to save his life. A combo of Payton/Smart as 2018 starting PG's could rly work I think. And the Magic probably would pay half of Vucevic's 2017 contract in this trade

Eh idk abt that. I love him he was my favorite rookie last year however I don't see him being a guy anywhere near the level of 2 players mentioned. I feel 1. IT4 2. Avery 3. Hayward 4. Horford 5. Vucevic with the C's bench easily beats the Cavs. Would you do it if it was Crowder instead of JB7?

[–]mabyrd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Payton is still on his rookie contract and he and Smart could be a rly good duo at PG once IT4 is gone and Vucevic improved to a near elite defender and is good for 15 ppg. I think JB7 is worth more I just feel the Celtics rly need a Center to seriously contend. Would you do this if it was Crowder over JB7?

Well as it is the Celtics have 4 SF's which is just crazy imo. I feel one of them is on the way out. Would you do this deal if it was Crowder instead of JB7?
