He won't. That Pacers team isn't getting THAT much better and he missed the final forward spot by 40+ votes...a huge margin. Butler/Dray will likely be on the 3rd team again next year or Anthony Davis being reclassified as a "Forward" will bump one out. |
I dunno Greek freak may take a step back, that typically happens after you break through. And Jimmy Butler may change depending if he gets traded, or they add more talent around him making his impact less. So I can see PG getting on the 3rd team. He'll be two years removed from major injury and I think this year was a down year for him cuz of that. |

He clearly wants out. And no, Greek Freak will be a better player this upcoming year AND Anthony Davis is now a "forward." Butler is Butler and I don't expect him to be out of the all-NBA.

Celtics to trade Markelle Fultz to Chicago for Jimmy Butler, and then throw the max at Gordon Hayward.
After Cleveland sweeps them and they realize their window is now, they can most likely do something like that.
Thus...Celtics lineup next year
Isaiah Thomas
Jimmy Butler
Gordon Hayward
Kelly Olynyk
Al Hortford
That seems about correct.
And then they'll trade their 2018 Nets pick to New York for Carmelo Anthony  |
The magic formula, if anything, to beating Lebron is a rim protector.
Duncan
Hibbert (gave him problems in one series)
Tyson Chandler
Bogut.
Celts have no rim protector. It's a layup line. they need a rim protecting big man more than Butler/Hayward/IT. How do you even distribute the ball amongst these guys? |
Coming off that injury, Bogut will be a free agent likely available for the minimum.

He's a very good player. He's a tier 2 superstar.
Tier 1: Leonard, Westbrook, Lebron, Durant, etc.
He's in the same tier as guys like Derozan, Isiah Thomas, etc.

Can we merge this thread with the Free Agency thread? Getting confusing...
Thanks. |

please give me Hayward this year for cheap(not that cheap but cheaper than some think) and PG next season. with a nice smidget of lonzo ball. That would be oh so perfect to start this next era. All we need then is a true Center that defends and can finish around the rim and also hit ft's at a decent clip. |

Trading Paul George to Lakers or Celtics aren't only options for limited Pacers
Thanks to All-NBA voters, Indiana can't offer their star a max deal, but that doesn't preclude keeping him
| Quote: | | Losing a superstar like George is devastating. There's a reason teams try to avoid losing top players. The Magic traded Dwight Howard in 2012 and still haven't found a way back. It can take a decade to recover. So the Pacers are going to have to get together multiple plans, and fast, and know what they're doing to try and get ahead of the situation. |

I think it is either Utah or Boston for him.
He played for Stevens in college and would be the next great white hope in Boston which we all know is an issue there.
However, I think Utah has a better team and would be a better long term fit for him. Utah has been making a lot of shrewd moves lately, they will probably work a sign and trade if it looks like they are going to lose him.

I believe that Utah will retain Hayward but stranger things have happened. |
