2nd_city_saint787 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 02:13 PM) When does that exemption expire? July 16th, and it's worth 5 mill. Can Thomas Robinson at 6'10" be relied on to play the 5 if Jo goes down? Do we trust a shorter Taj to man the 5? I would love to see what Thibs can get out of him.

bmags Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 07:22 PM) Ok, well that's definitely enough time for the big FA moves to happen and could certainly create situations where teams need to clear $3-4 million to make their impact signing. Yeah, definitely looking at houston and atlanta. I'm still holding out hope for Thomas Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal, but, we just aren't going to find a C that would play better than Taj at 5, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 11:50 AM) I couldnt stand Simmons on tv and wondered if he even understood what being a professional was, as opposed to an unabashed homer. I guess some people might find it interesting if we put 4 super fans up there, but not I. Simmons is tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 02:04 PM) Simmons is tremendous. I love the guy but he did get a little annoying at some points last night. I thought he was funny at times but the constant bringing everything back to the Celtics trade was stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 02:22 PM) Well, yeah, I mean, if you ignore the exact points people make about why he was bad last night and just call it "for being too popular" then I guess you nailed it. I don't think being a homer for 15 seconds about Celtics-related topics really outweighs the other 3 hours of the draft. And that was a side point anyway.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Former Cuse sharpshooter, and last years D-League 3 point champ, Andy Rautine in Bulls camp. Could be someone to keep an eye on. Rose/Hinrich/Teague Butler/Rautine Deng/Snell Boozer/Taj/Murphy Noah/Mini MLE/trade exception Something like that could work. Luke Harongody is in camp as well but I dont see a spot for him. Edited June 29, 2013 by 2nd_city_saint787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I thought Bill Simmons was the best person on that broadcast. I don't love the Celtics talk, but there wasn't that much of it and I enjoy him because I know he isn't full of s***. It's clear that the rest of the guys can't stand him, though. I also hate Jay Bilas. Nobody knows the draft class as much as he does, but he won't actually say anything substantive about any of them. He loves every draft pick. Great. At least Simmons will actually react to things that are happening in an honest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is supposed to love them all, they are the cream of the crop that he watches all the time. His job isn't to talk about how good they will be in the NBA, he is supposed to talk about how they got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job isn't to talk about how good they will be in the NBA, he is supposed to talk about how they got there. It's not that it is useless, it's nice to know some good things about a guy. Unfortunately, in the NBA draft broadcast you could totally randomize the descriptions of each player (for instance, if you ran his description of Snell after the first overall pick) and you'd have no idea that he was describing a player that isn't that good.
