I'm Really Going To Miss Whoever We Lose (AB, Smart OR Crowder)

[Phantom255x]

Crowder, Bradley and Smart have all been a BIG part of the team’s growth the past 2-3 years and have been great role models to all the others on the team.

They’ve had a lot of moments, and we’ve seen them blossom before our eyes (AB especially since 2012 to now).

I can’t believe Crowder has so many haters, when he’s on a bargain contract, a very efficient 3 and D guy, and went from being "filler" from the Rondo trade to being the reason we won that trade.

It’s a shame one of the three may have to go, but I guess it has to be done if we’re aiming for Banner 18. Still, I’m going to miss whoever leaves.

I’m guessing it’s one of Crowder/AB though since Smart could sign an extension that’s cheaper and Crowder may have a bigger trade value.

Oh and we lost Olynyk tonight, (there there @SHAQATTACK, don't cry too hard), and while I wont be too sad to be honest, I’ll say, I’m glad he went out with a bang, outplaying John Wall in the 4th and having the Game 7 of his life which shocked the world (especially Wizards Fans haha). I wish him the best of luck with whoever he joins next.

And I’ve heard reports that Smart is already being shopped, which is cruel because he just tweeted his congrats to Hayward LOL. (Ugh…)

I guess it's the "necessary evil" but it does dampen my mood just a little in what has been a beautiful July 4th culminated in fireworks via Hayward  (Seriously, what a WILD day it's been)

Reminds me a bit of how much I liked Al Jefferson, Tony Allen, Delonte West, Ryan Gomes.

Well... If you put it that way...

Bradley is one of my favorites on the team over the last few years. Really nice guy who you can tell works hard on his game. But he has problems staying healthy. But you can't keep everyone....... unless you're the Warriors!

Yeah it's frustrating but the Warriors will be paying a MONSTER luxury tax if they keep this team in 2 years, even with KD's "paycut".

Draymond and/or Klay could be odd men out unless they accept to play for like a minimum LOL.

I won't miss Crowder, but the others I will.

Interesting that all three of those guys are known as great defensive players among the best at their positions, but look how fast at least one of them has to go as soon as  a premium offensive player signed with us. It's almost like defense doesn't actually win in the NBA.

I don't know if they have to part with any of these guys. The core of IT $6.3M, Horford 27.7, Bradley 8.8,Crowder 6.8,Brown 5.0 , Tatum 5.0, Smart 4.5, Hayward 31.9 amounts to $96M.
That leaves Rozier 2.0 and Zizic ? plus filler. Very close for signing. They'll be a bit over the cap filling the roster but Wyc will probably pay.

i will definitely miss smart or AB but not jae.

said same thing. lol

[RockinRyA]

I will miss them too, although I am least attached to Crowder. Bradley's the one Im gonna miss the most. He reminds me of the Big 3 era.

Trade Crowder while he's overrated. If he is.

[celtics2030]

Gotta love the fans. This is why it's always a business. Jae loved, now kick him to the curb.

Love what Ray did. Controlled his own destiny, won a ring, hit biggest shot.

Ive always had my opinion on Crowder as not being that good, but one thing I will never say is that I wanted him gone. Thats the teams decision.

[Phantom255x]

"Crowder is overrated", "I won't miss Crowder one bit"... really people? Overrated, fine, but you really didn't like him?

Looks like this year's roster mostly survives. 2018/19 will end our current core...my two favorite players outta here. (Smart/Bradley)...hey at least they'll get a truckload o'dough.
