One thing that people don't realize

is that modern athletes have so many advantages that slow the aging process down than of past generations. These guys are jumping into cryotherapy chambers after games to recover quicker. I assume Lebron has a personal chef and trainer who make sure he does everything he can to protect his body.

Listening to ESPN radio late last night and they were discussing the Celtics

the lesson here is that the Celtics have a lot of options and they are all good.

Agreed. I do agree that they aren't close to beating the Cavs if they just add

sometimes i wonder where these guys egos come into play. as fans we wonder

Tough to say. Also seems like the type that wouldn't be adamantly opposed to

I've had a hard gauging if he's a guy determined to be the #1 option, or

Amazing what some vision, a well-executed plan, and support from ownership can

And a lot of luck

Dillinger

Seriously. Nobody knew the Nets would be this awful for this long.

Hypnotoad

Yes, tons of luck. Ainge deserves a ton of credit, but he took candy from a baby

IMO, right now a healthy jazz team beats Boston in a series w/o much trouble

nc-puma

5/19/17 2:39pm

Completely agree. In all honesty Boston should have got bounced in round 1.

Dillinger

5/19/17 2:44pm

Jeff Sagarin and his numbers agree as well.

Hypnotoad

Is there a scenario where Hayward picks up his player option?

wapiti

5/19/17 2:41pm

0% chance. If he wants a bigger deal after next season, he'll sign a 1-yr deal.

5/19/17 2:43pm

If he wants to stay in Utah, he does this. a 1+1 deal, PO for 2nd season.

Shteve

No. That ship sailed when he didn't make the All-NBA team

donnerstag

5/19/17 2:47pm

That possibility went out the door when he didn't make an all NBA team

Hypnotoad

hack. I should have read the post directly above mine

Hypnotoad

5/19/17 2:50pm

Although I think my door metaphor is better than donnerstag's ship metaphor

Hypnotoad

Utah seems like a pretty unique opportunity for a guy like Hayward.

i agree, but does hayward realize it? or does he fall for the grass is greener

How are the Jazz going to challenge the Warriors?

donnerstag

5/19/17 2:49pm

You have to hope that Golden State isn't able to keep all their key players

Hypnotoad

5/19/17 2:52pm

Still like 3 years out from losing any of the 4 though right?

Dillinger

5/19/17 2:53pm

I'm not sure. But I'd say that's about how many years LeBron has left of being

Hypnotoad

5/19/17 2:55pm

Lebron will have guys begging to play next to him till he's 40.

i'm not saying you are wrong, but just the fact that you say that and most

It already is mind boggling. There's never been an athlete like him.

It's amazing what PEDs, diet, rest, and training can do.

Don't forget those German blood doctors

i haven't paid attention, but i really hope you're wrong. just a depressing

Durant can opt out this year if he wants.

5/19/17 3:01pm

Durant is on a 1-1 contract

They aren't leaving, but Thompson is through next year? and Green is through 19?

Dillinger

5/19/17 3:02pm

Thompson goes through 2019 and Green through 2020

donnerstag

5/19/17 3:05pm

I figured those 2 were in for the long haul. It's Thompson and Green that I

Hypnotoad

I could see Thompson leaving to LA when he's up.

messi

5/19/17 3:08pm

Well what do you want them to do lie down and start crying?

GRCoug

No. Play their best and try to improve

You play for 2nd and hope the Warriors fall apart

We'll see how they do the rest of the series. But we all saw how much SA fell

The Jazz minus Hayward and the Celtics plus Hayward creates a disparity

donnerstag

Hayward not making an All NBA team was a big blow. The money Boston and Utah can

Ainge needs to ignore popularity and move IT

wapiti

Both Ainge and Stevens say all the time that IT can play off ball

Coaches/GMs say that kind of stuff all the time. I think they're projecting
