Interesting times ahead for Dallas.

Doncic to Celtics make it happen!

Just for fun and not having Tatum be the centerpiece, I think it would take something like this to get it done.

Doncic, Hardaway, Bertans

for

Brown, White, Rob, Pritchard, Gallinari, Muscala, 24 1st, 26 1st, 28 1st, swaps in 25 and 27

So post-trade Boston would be (re-signing Grant)

Starters - Smart, Doncic, Tatum, Grant, Horford
Bench - Brogdon, Hardaway, Bertans, Kornet, Champagnie
Open Spots - 5

That would be an interesting team. Its success would depend on how well Doncic and Tatum could get along. Given Doncic's ceiling, I'd probably do that, but it is a lot to give up and the team would need to do very well in free agency to make it fully work.

You're forgetting Hauser and Griffin. Having an extraordinary shooter like Hauser would create an extra dimension to that offense. And I'd trade Smart and keep White. But that's my preference.

Thus my starters + main bench would be: White/Doncic/Hauser/Tatum/Horford + (Brogdon, Hardaway, G.Williams/Bertans, Griffin).

The offense with Doncic and Tatum mainly running it with always one of them on the court surrounded by shooters as Brogdon, White, Hardaway, Hauser, Horford, G-Will or Bertans would be historic to watch.

The question is our rebounding and defense. Our front court is old and thin. Nonetheless I see a championship in there, but we may already have it.

that team doesn't win a title (yours or especially Moranis').  front court will get abused, badly.   Luka and Tatum would be a dynamic offense in theory but Luka's D is dreadful.  the bench is woefully thin.

Yeah.  Brown + White + Rob collectively add more than Luka.

the team would need to add some vets no doubt, but that is 2 top 10 players who both happen to be young.  The Mavs were on the WCF last year with a much worse team.  This board always seems to discount what top end talent actually does and acts like those guys grow on trees.  You do what you can to upgrade to a player like Doncic as long as you keep Tatum.

[celticsclay]

I'm honestly surprised both James and Davis are playing in this game.  I figured they would both be out since this game doesn't really matter all that much if the Lakers win the last 2 (I think the Warriors will lose 1 and because the Lakers have the tiebreaker, they'd be the 6th seed) and because the Clippers are well rested and have been targeting this game.

Very confused why you think the warriors will lose one so confidently. They play the biggest tanking team In the league and a kings team with nothing to play for. Would be absolutely crazy for lakers to punt this game (especially after needing a comeback in overtime to win their game last night against the jazz).

Warriors are 10 point favorites tonight. Seems fox and sabonis are likely to rest. This is the exact reason you can’t punt a game on expectations of what other teams will do. The difference between being a 6 seed and the 8 seed is astronomical. Of course lakers realized this and is why they played Lebron heavy minutes.

Warriors are 17 point favorites tomorrow to close this. Very strange thinking they would just lose a game.

Yeah, Rob tips that over. I would do Brown & Smart + picks & younger guys

For who?

For who?

Anyone who u can count on lol..but I do a package deal that includes him

[Who]

Shaedon Sharpe getting 37mpg for the last 9 games and is putting up 24.3ppg 6.0rpg and 4.1apg. 47% FG% on 18.8 shots 39% 3PT% on 8 threes per game 76% FT% 5 FTAs. 

[Who]

Jimmy Butler has had a super-efficient scoring season.

22ppg on 54% FG% which is a great mark for a wing. Then he is getting 8.7 FTA relative to 13.9 FGA which is an exceptional rate for getting to the FT line and hitting them at a high rate of 85%. He doesn't take many threes, only 1.6 per game, and hits them at a solid 35%. It is the FTs and the two pointers that are driving his efficiency giving him a 64.7% TS%. Remarkably efficient.

Jimmy doing his usual All-NBA level defense, quality rebounding and excellent playmaking from the wing - 5.3 assists per game relative to 1.6 turnovers per night which are fantastic numbers again driving his offensive efficiency even further. Those low turnovers relative to the combined scoring and assists is exceptional.

It is a shame that Miami have done such a bad job putting a supporting cast around Jimmy and Bam because Jimmy has had a sensational year. 33 years old. Not clear how much longer he'll be able to play at an elite level. A wasted season for Miami.

Rob doesn't play enough for that to tip over.  He isn't reliable at all.

Lakers sign Tristan Thompson and Shaquille Harrrison on the last day of the regular season.

Yes, they can.  Only guys on rosters after March 1 aren’t eligible.
