I didnt expect Zeller giving Al a concussion to start off the season. They will bounce back soon enough when Al and KO are back and we will have seen the last of Zeller.

Horford and Crowder, two key players are injured. Olynyk hasn't played. Clearly, they aren't good enough up front to sustain those injuries.

Ainge had ample opportunities to sign defensive bigs pre-season. But he chose to keep the status quo, wasting $8 million on Zeller. He is paying for his mistake right now.

Teams have played a combined 13 games. Who cares?

I coulda made a thread: "Warriors 0-1, Celtics 0-0. Not even Celtics fans believe it"

Waste? You do know that the value of Zeller's contract (not zeller but his contract) is for salary matching when we do trades? In a deal with Boogie for example, it wouldnt be feasible without Zeller.

Zeller was involved in Horford's concussion? The plot thickens

Who was he supposed to sign....Sulley is hurt, so that would have been worse.

Lol i wish that was actually true though. Honestly, Zeller ruins everything, so I wouldnt be surprised if that was indeed the case.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

I will give Walton and the Lakers credit: they've looked very good so far. I still think they can challenge for a lower playoff spot this season. They remind me a lot of Brad's second year Celtics, in that they made the playoffs when no one expected them to make it (although, we were aided by the trade for Isaiah).

This is important to understand. The contract is an asset.
