NBA Season 2021-22

BAAAANNNNEEEEE!!!!!

"7. They found one of the biggest steals of the 2020 draft

Most NBA teams didn't think Desmond Bane had a lot of upside after playing all four seasons in college, a rarity these days for draft prospects. The Grizzlies noted that Bane got significantly better each year at TCU and projected that development to continue. Bane, who played in summer league last year despite being a second-team All-Rookie selection, has emerged as a primary offensive option and a major reason Memphis went 20-5 when Morant wasn't available.""

Big miss.  Not as big as Giannis or Tony  :-XParker, and I'm sure many others.  But despite the miss, SO not worth reliving every week.  Bane obviously projects to having a very good career at this point and C's would be deeper if they had him.  Would also be less deep if they'd taken Markell Fultz and Kris Dunn.   

Back when the C's were struggling to maintain .500 the miss on Bane was painful. Now, no big deal at all -- this team is looking pretty darn good without him.

Yabuselle, AKA: Dancing Bear at 16, over Pascal Siakam. Worst part is the Celtics even invited him to Boston for a private workout and they opted to go with the Yabu.

If Durant had signed with the max cap space drafting Yabu over Siakam generated, no one would care about Yabu.

Lebron did what Lebron does today and really distanced himself from the front office saying he was just a player and had no say in the decision making. Would only give his opinion if asked.

I don’t think Durant was ever coming to Boston. That has nothing to do with taking Yabu at 16, anyway.

If Doc doesn’t get Philly though a couple rounds or to East finals ,  I look for him to loose his job.

I agree with this, if they lose in first round he is gone. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Harden jet to a different team if they lose in the first round. Pretty huge series for them, and they really could use Thybulle in Toronto and also will greatly miss Drummond for the ten minutes Embid has to sit. Jordan has been cooked for several years and it is unclear why he is still in the league.

Just saw the clip.  He said it was a “front office decision” and shrugged his shoulders as if to say “I have nothing to do wit it.” Ya, right.

Was hoping he would suit up for the play in…

This is a real shame. Second half of season just decimated by injuries. If this team had Rubio and Allen (not to mention sexton) I think they would beat the nets. Also note this could be rondos second to last game.

If they had Rubio and Allen they wouldn’t even be in the play-in.

Also, I’m hopeful we get one last run of playoff Rondo.

Agree on both (unless against us)

Where is Harden going to go?  I can't think of a better pairing for him than Embiid and they seem to be getting along pretty well.  The Sixers really needed Harden to pick up his option.  Harden isn't worth his true Max but it would be hard for them to offer him anything less.  I expect Drummond would have been a negative in the playoffs but much less so than Jordan.  Milsap is toast too.  The Libertyballer crowd want Reed to be the backup but I'd be surprised if Doc goes with him.

Wasn't the deal that Yabu stayed overseas, thus giving us max space which we were aiming at Durant? I think we only took Yabu because he was a certain draft and stash.

I remember his awkward interview with I think Molly Mcgrath, with him saying that he is very willing to be stashed
