    Meyers can barely take our abuse. Southie would take it too another level.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Relatedly, I'm curious what Dewayne Dedmon does. He'd be a pretty ideal acquisition for the Warriors, but they only have the taxpayer's MLE, which is around $5.5M. I'm interested to see how the league values him.

    I'm all for going after Crowder, but I still think they keep him. Ainge loves him and with Hayward in, I don't think it makes sense to effectively make your team worse over the next year or two by playing a rookie/2nd year player in his place.

    There's no need for them to make that kind of move right now.

    Are we sure they won't decide to move Avery Bradley? Because HE would be a GET.

    Doesn't matter. He did the same thing that Durant did. And people barely a year over are forgiving Durant. Hayward is no different. So his ex-fans will be angry over cups of tea while playing board games, rather than cursing him while drinking beer over bbq.... it's all the same. No one will give a shit.

    I love Bradley but Boston should hold onto him. He's too good.

    We already have a guy who can score 10 points a game and make us peek through our hands when he shoots threes. We don't need Crowder.

    Doesn't Boston have to move salary for Hayward?

    Boston didn't win 70 games last year. I also can't blame Hayward going with the coach that he's known for a long time and was an influential part of his life.

    I think if they had their choice it'd be him and I think there's probably some mutual interest there. GS was the first team to sign him as a UDFA in 13' and he's from California.
