Boston Finally Makes A Move - July 4th, 2017

Boston Finally Makes A Move July 4th, 2017 Danny Ainge has a few Ls on his resume as far as acquisitions go in the past year that include whiffing on DeMarcus Cousins, Paul George and Jimmy Butler. After the team being reported on for what feels like forever, yes, Gordon Hayward has decided to join forces with his old college coach Brad Stevens and join the Boston Celtics. What does this mean for the Celts? Well...first and foremost, you get a better shot at competing with LeBron and company. Additionally, they keep all of their future assets by just signing him and free agency so they still will be in rumors for potential trades moving forward so we will get to still see this awkward contend and rebuild phase. Nevertheless, they add a solid scoring option to Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Al Horford. I like it. Also, you still have defensive presences with Jae Crowder and Marcus Smart all while still having your recent draft picks in Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum who are look...

Love or Hate Kawhi?

Love or Hate Kawhi? August 11th, 2018 Kawhi Leonard recently got half of his wish he submitted to management. Leonard's request to get out of San Antonio via trade did happen but it was not to Los Angeles. Now that Kawhi is out of that situation I think it is time to sit and reflect on him. In a lot of eyes, at full strength Kawhi Leonard is a top five talent in the NBA. Remember five years ago in the 2013 NBA Finals when Leonard has his coming out party. He caused havoc on both ends against the Miami Heat. The most memorable moment in that finals for Kawhi (outside of not coming clutch at the foul line) in my eyes is a brief moment in game five where LeBron James was at the foul line. Just before he could shoot his second free throw after missing the first, Kawhi Leonard checks in. If you watched the game you know what preceded but if not here is a brief reminder below. We all know Kawhi to be a NBA Champion, Finals MVP, 2x All-Star, 2x Defensive Player of t...

NBA Offseason Wish List - July 18th, 2017

NBA Offseason Wish List July 18th, 2017 So far the NBA offseason has been entertaining to say the least with superstar moves, the draft and of course following Lonzo Ball. However, there are some additional moves that would make me feel like a kid on Christmas again and I just wanted to share a few. Move #1: Finally Getting Melo out of New York Melo is obviously a generational talent but has made questionable basketball moves during the course of his career. He forced his way out of a solid contending Denver team and signed an extension with New York instead of going to Chicago to contend a few off seasons ago. Now at 33 years of age, Melo has finally decided he wants out of New York but there is just one issue...he is still under contract. Now he has a no trade clause and has made it clear he will only waive it for Cleveland or Houston. Realistically, Cleveland could only trade Love for Melo but that move doesn't really make them better and the Houston deal can only wor...
