Honestly not getting what people are seeing with them. Nah e they will explode and make me eat this post but they just don’t seem to have the talent.

There’s only one individual that has been hyping Dallas on the is site and they’ve been very quiet tonight for some reason… hmmm

They just don't have the talent. A cold night from Brunson and they're buried

Am watching the Dallas-Phoenix game. Maxi Kleber could be a great fit with the current Celtics team. He has a really nice stroke from three. He plays decent D too right?

I want Gobert for Rob :')

Gobert at $37M next season and $40M the year after… Hard pass on that one. Rudy is slightly better than Rob for $27M more per year. Will take Rob everyday of the week.

Yeah, needless to say I didn't quite hop into the trade calculator for that random outburst :] hahaha

I am a staunch Rob supporter; barring injury, he will continue to improve and make that contract one of the best deals in the league.

That said, one trade idea I haven’t shaken is Rob for Ayton. Ayton’s a stud, the Suns have relented to give him the max, they will be in the luxury with a notoriously cheap owner, Cam Johnson also will be a RFA, they didn’t even extend a QO to Jalen Smith and traded him, and the they had an excellent regular season record with Javale McGee replacing him.

Before these playoffs, they might’ve considered it for a player with a contract as tantalizing as Rob (if Sarver is as advertised), but now, it’d be ludicrous to consider it. I’m glad we have Rob though, he’s on pace to be one of the most valuable Centers and is a great fit for these Celtics.

Maybe they make a comeback here tonight. But in general I just don’t see what they can do to be honest. The suns have 5 of the 7 best players and their third string center is probably as good as most of Dallas frontcourt. Doncic could have like 50 and it would still be tough.

Yeah, he's currently got 40/12/8, but it doesn't matter because Brunson can't hit the side of a barn

is it Javale McGee?

I remember they owned the Celtics earlier, before the Celtics got their act together. Think a lot of their team were injured that game too.

The Suns are just really good, kind of like the C's in how they randomly pulled together all the right pieces.

I mean, Ayton is giving the Suns 17pts/10reb a game. It’s solid, but the dude was the #1 pick in the draft and he wants a max contract. Doesn’t even average 1blk per game. I would pass on him as well. Rob is just as good of a rebounder, a better passer and a superior defender. His contract is one of the best values in the league.

It took the Suns 6 games to get past the 8th seed Pelicans. I know Booker missed some Games, but they still should have handled New Orleans better than they did. This Suns team reminds me of that Hawks team with Teague, Horford, Johnson, Smith, Milsap, Korver. Some very good players, but lacked the top end talent that you Need to win it all.

I’m almost positive those players were not on the hawks at the same time and in some cases were years apart. I believe Millsap replaced smith for example. I also don’t believe a single player on that list made first or second team all nba while with the hawks. Paul and Booker mostly likely will be on the first two teams. The hawks also never made the finals which the Sun did last year. Not really seeing the connection at all.

Yeah, the Johnson-Horford-Smith Hawks were a totally different group to the Horford-Millsap-Teague-Korver team.

Man the Sixers really have messed up their management over the last few years, whatever you think of the Process, they've been far worse since Hinkie left them.  Just no idea what to do and keep putting the wrong people into the positions of power.

Hinkie drafted okafor, fultz and simmons with three different top 3 picks. Woof. He is no hero either
hinkie didn't draft Simmons or Fultz. He resigned in April 2016.  Simmons was drafted in June 2016 and the Fultz fiasco was 2017.

game started after 10pm.  Have to sleep.  Luka had 45, 12, and 8 though.  They can't stop him.  Brunson and Dinwiddie were awful.  They have to play better.

Yea kind of made our counterargument for us.

I agree that the Suns are kind of equal opportunity (everybody playing a different role and whatnot) , but Chris Paul having a renaissance year in his mid-late 30's, and Booker being arguably better than any of those Hawks - if Al had his 3's earlier in his prime and had been utilized like he is now with Brad/Udoka maybe he'd have been better - instead wasted his youth having had to coexist with a jump shot-happy Josh Smith.

Josh Smith is one of those guys who I irrationally like(d). I know for a fact that he wasted his talent, but his run from 2006-2013 was so much fun. He was insanely good in 2009-10
