Got some Al Jefferson love

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Meanwhile, on the court....five days till opening night, heart be still!

 

[Trueblue25]

King Kemba’s about to unleash the beast

[jncuse]

I don't think the Pelicans will rush Zion back or over-play him early in his return. Like that scumbag liar Coach K did last year.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Toldja he'd be a bust.

 

[Knicks411]

I was going to go to the game tonight if Zion was playing too. Real bummer

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

U guys been watching what Zion has done the past 2 games? People thought he wouldnt be able to do/play the way he did in college against NBA dudes yet he is literally dominating the same exact way. He went right at the DPOY tonight like it was nothing. Kids a beast and is going to be a lot of fun to watch. Crazy Duke didnt win the whole thing last year with him on their team...might be the biggest failure ever for Coach K.

That's among a whole host of Calapri-esque coaching failures.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

“Uneducated" Daryl Moray has a degree from Northwestern & an MBA from MIT.
LeBron deserves MAJOR criticism for these ignorant comments.

But he has a HS degree and keeps up with the Hollywood insider. Of course, a huge portion of our country take their political, economic and social dictates from under educated folks. The power of celebrity in the US is scary.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I love Zion and think he's going to be dominant, but he'd be best served losing 25 pounds to take some pressure off his knees.

 

[MikeSU02]

Dion is not helping himself:

 

[chugg21]

Hield contract came in lower than I'd expect. I'll take that deal over the Jaylen Brown one that just came in as well.

 

[OrangeDW]

Dion is not helping himself:

SMH. Not good. Once there’s a rap on you, you can be out of the league fast.

[chugg21]

Will really suck if this turns into a thing.

 

[OrangeDW]

$115 million/4 years for Jaylen Brown.

Good for him and an insincere Chris Webber to David Kahn “good luck” to Boston.

 

[Alsacs]

$115 million/4 years for Jaylen Brown.

Good for him and an insincere Chris Webber to David Kahn “good luck” to Boston.

That 115 is the max value it includes
Incentives.
Most of these contracts are overpays but it keeps the player from being pissed at the team and I think Brown without Kyrie could pop this year.
The coaching he got from Team USA is going to help him.

 

[Knicks411]

Sucks so hard. and i'm worried if at this point it's already a thing.

He's a 4th option offensively on a contender. Near $30m for that is rough but not a lot of ways around it.

Wonder if there was a Brown for Sabonis trade discussed.

 

[Alsacs]

He's a 4th option offensively on a contender. Near $30m for that is rough but not a lot of ways around it.

It’s 26.75 million AAV.
Somebody would pay the guy and he isn’t a 4th option on a good team.
He is a great 3rd scorer and defender.

He was ruined last year because of chemistry issues with Kyrie Irving.

Plus with Kemba, Tatum, and Heyward he can be the 4th option when the team needs him to defend.

Gordon Heyward is going to be a good fantasy basketball option this year because of Kyrie being gone.

 

[Alsacs]

Wonder if there was a Brown for Sabonis trade discussed.

Celtics media are saying this Brown extension gives them framework with the salary to discuss trades for Sabonis, Myles Turner or Brad Beal if they want to now.

Zion’s injury takes so much of the excitement out of the Raptors/Pelicans NBA season opener tomorrow. Bummer.
