SFGiants58 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Chris Paul is no longer a Warrior. Thank goodness, as it was too damn surreal an affair to continue. Edit: and Harden is staying a Clipper. Well, so much for LAC advancing in the playoffs. Edit 2: Klay is also gone from the Warriors. Good luck in overpay land.

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 If OKC is going to win the 2025 Finals, I hope we at least get an announcement of the Sonics expansion team. Because it looks like OKC could win the 2025 Finals.

A fan to the very end! In truth, this is probably bad news from a sporting perspective, Celtics ownership has been the rare group that does things right and runs the operation pretty well overall. Last thing we need is some Silicon Valley brain-genius who wants to undercut the league's best FO, or worse some petro-state who wants to jump in to sportswash and money launder. Maybe the Celtics' lack of physical real estate will at least scare off the worst of the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 So the Clippers are getting rid of Paul George and Russell Westbrook, but keeping James Harden? I thought they would completely tear it down and go young, but I guess they'll run it back with one aging player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Celtics' lack of physical real estate will at least scare off the worst of the latter. Yeah when the day comes that they have a buyer and finalize it, I worry it could be the end of an era. I've said it before but the Celtics were a dump - basically what the Bulls are right now - before this ownership came in and Danny Ainge took over as GM (a few months apart) and that whole period has been memoryholed. They turned it around and the Celtics have been a model franchise since 2007, and everything starts at the top. Not that eventual incoming ownership is guaranteed to be Gastons 2.0 (or Ishbia 2.0), but you never know and I don't like change. They have a contending team locked up for the time being but who knows what things will look like in 2028. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I've seen conflicting reports over what's even for sale and just how much. Pagliuca has already said he'd be interested in bidding to just take over Wyc's stake, so that's probably a good sign. There are so many silent partners in that group of a certain class of Boston Rich Guy so it'd probably be the best outcome for 1-3 of them to just step up and take over more. If they could be convinced to not put their names on a tax-dodge building for one of the universities for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I look back and remember that the first round of the NBA playoffs prior to the 2002-03 season to was a best of 5 series, i thought why can't the entire playoffs be a best of 5? Since NO ONE will ever seem to come back from a 0-3 hole, it would satisfy the people that think the NBA playoffs go on wayy too long, as i am one of them, and make the games matter even more. Although because of possible money from extended series I know this won't happen, but since the team up 3-0 has to beat them one time and the one down 0-3 has to win 3 straight just to get to a game 7, it is neigh impossible, but would streamline things a little bit A 5-game Finals would've meant we missed out on the highest-rated (and probably most iconic) NBA game of the 21st century — Golden State wins 2016 in 4 and nobody really bats an eye. I can buy some argument to a 5-game first round, but a 7-game opening round protects the higher seed, which I don't think is a bad thing. I'd rather look at streamlining the schedule as a solution before shortening series, personally. (Ditto for missing out on the two iconic plays of the Bulls' dynasty, though that may be more circumstantial, since they were both in a Game 6.)

who do you think Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 The playoffs are too long because there's two rest days for every game and the league refuses to move up the start of the next series if teams win in 5 or sweep. Not because there's too many games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because there's too many games. I can understand 2 days when switching cities, but there's no reason to have a 3 day break between games for any reason.

I really thought they did that in an attempt to build more interest and hype for each series/game. I guess it gives the sports talking heads something extra to discuss (or debate) during their shows on off days. I hear others say that it gives players more rest for important games, but I mean how much rest do players really need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I hate to give Dan Shaughnessy props for anything, but ol' Shank reported last week re: the Celtics sale that Wyc Grousbeck's personal stake in the Celtics has been less than 2% this entire time, and his father Irv was the real owner of the full majority stake. Didn't realize Irv was still alive, honestly. Anyway, he's saying that's the dad is the driving force as to why the collective Grousbeck shares are being sold now. (Michael Holley has further built upon this claiming that Wyc is upset about being forced to sell by his Daddy Warbucks, but it was an anon source and this is Holley we're talking about, so who knows about that detail.)
