You do realize literally everyone always says that before the season and then things simply either work or dont work on the court

You cant put those words onto the court all the time

Maybe it’ll work out for the Celtics who knows but this tweet is pointless

I think Jimmy just wants out of Minny. He knows Wiggins isn't gonna be much, doesn't like Towns either.
 
If he can pair up with Kyrie in NY he will, or Lebron in LA, basically whoever will get him out of Minny.
He can leave Minny without joining freaking Lebron lol

Rozier said the right thing

What about Jalen
And Morris
And Hayward
And Kyrie
And Tatum.

We'll see

Give me Philly and maybe Toronto

You get why I'm annoyed, right? You're literally insinuating that Boston wont win because they're so talented that their egos will make them lose games.
 
Such a dumb statement

Didn't say Boston won't win lol

Just said I like Philly and possibly Toronto ahead of them

Implies that they are the 3rd seed

They just kind of remind me of the clippers from a few years ago. Too many players

I really don't see an ego problem at all in Boston.  A minutes problem, sure. An injury problem, sure. Although they handled injuries great last year.

Yep, sounds using a year to 'train' i'm not sure will pay off. Need that competition. Although Mitchell Robinson did it but he's 7'1. 
 
I feel like once they drop the minimum age there will be a lot of kids hoping to make the leap that won't pan out.

The right thing to do is to follow the baseball method

You can declare for the draft, even be drafted you dont lose NCAA eligibility until you sign a contract with either the team or sponsors

18 years of age being the minimum age tho

It sounds like thats where they were heading. When the NCAA came out and said players won't lose eligibility if they don't get drafted and some players can hire agents.
 
But they need to actually work with the NBA and USA basketball with that decision. Can't blindside them.

thats still for the fringe nba players tho. they have to let the first rounders and lottery players have that ability too
