If Jackson gives me Pippen defense, rebound, passing, I dont care what he offers on the offensive end. Booker, Chriss, Bledsoe, Warren will be our main scoring threats, Jackson, Bender, Chandler can do the defensive work, and we build from that. Chances are he won't. I'd be happy if he was just clo...

A. We needed defense and rebounding (and I also think that we have maxed out our ability to develop any more projects right now). I wanted someone that can come in, be vocal and produce day 1 with a pretty high ceiling. Jackson checks off all of those boxes. I don't see 2nd round picks as ones that ...

Warren might see some time as a small ball 4. Might be a good spot for him. If he can just be an average floor spreader, his cutting and rebounding would be good from the 4 spot. Might fare better there defensively too. He's got decent size at 6'8 225. Bled Booker Jackson Warren Chriss/Bender/Willi...

With Booker and this kid's confidence? Watch out! These two could be something special together. Chriss seems like someone who doesn't lack any either. Yeah, I hadn't considered that before, but there is a lot of confidence between Booker, Chriss, and Jackson. A lot of times I know that tension in ...

Nobody outside of a straightjacket thought that. But Jackson is still a good prospect. Not true. I read that a few places. Who had him above Fultz? Don't know that anyone specifically said he was #1, heard people say he could be the best player. Don't know that anyone had him as the best prospect, ...

Where did he say that?

Bad choice? How so?

Yeah, Im struggling to understand the Jackson hate. Is Isaac or Fox really that much better?

I really like this pick. Why the hate towards Jackson? His arm length? Attitude?

Well it has been an exciting last 24 hours.

I wasn't actually being serious--I was interested in getting Milsap several years ago, but would not really be interested now. It seemed to fit with Simmon's belief that we wanted Love.

Moving #4 for Love would be an awful move when we've invested so heavily at PF already. I'm a big Love fan but this isn't 3 years ago. Yep, would have loved pairing him with Dragic back in the day but I'm not interested now. Especially because Millsap might soon be available. https://www.si.com/nba...

Its crazy how much less I value Simmon's opinion as time passes.

I don't see any positives in swinging from one extreme to the other every few election cycles. How can we settle on a middle of the road, centrist philosophy that's sustainable over the long term? It can't be 4 years of Trump then 4 years of Sanders then 4 years of Pence then 4 years of Elizabeth W...

This has been a pretty special season so far. I know that there has been a little discussion on potentially trying to move zack greinke while his value is high, but I think you've got to try and ride this wave while it lasts, and then figure the future out later. Its been too long since downtown Pho...

Im incredibly jealous of how well set up the Celtics are for the next few years. Wow.

Didn't know where else to put this. Its not really news, but NBA.com had Booker "interview" Jackson, Fultz, Tatum, & Monk. Silly questions, but it was cool to have Booker be the one asked to do it. Did he ask which one wanted to be his teammate next year? Youll be able to answer that ...

Do we know whether Boston is definitely taking Jackson?

Adrian Wojnarowski‏Verified account @WojVerticalNBA 3m ago Deal talks are far enough along that Fultz could be on his way to Philadelphia for a meeting Saturday, sources say.
