I told myself I couldn't be disappointed tonight if I had low expectations.. and here I am disappointed
Also, don't we have to question some of those trade rumors since Phoenix also turned them down apparently?
The Wolves were the most exciting young team in the league and just got gifted another tremendous piece. Will be fun to watch.
I like brown, was hoping for a trade down to get him... Put me in the camp - better with C's than the Bears
Bulls wanted LaVine and #5 for Butler so Crowder and #3 would have definitely been in play.
Fuck Ainge.
Fuck Ainge.
This is a good point. The scuttlebutt on The Vertical earlier by Woj was that PHX would deal #4 for best offer and it doesn't look like it happened.
I think the disappointment was that Dunn was rated just as higly or higher by many scouts and there was the possibility of moving him for other assets if you couldn't cut a deal. If they "got stuck" with him, they could use a true PG anyway or it would have freed up other assets to move. Brown seems like he's here to stay and there's a big boom/bust cpaacity.
Are telling me that Ainge couldn't have made some minor trades to beat that offer?
You assume that Chicago was correctly valuing LaVine. Perhaps they way overrate him like another team might overrate, say Brown.
At the end of the day, I admit I don't know much about Brown or anyone else, I'm more disappointed that no trade was there to be made.
So I'll just leave this here: any chance of getting a good player in a trade for 16 and 23? Or maybe throwing in a 2nd?

I know HRB will immediately dismiss this out of hand, but I'm wondering if the medicals came into play?
Also remember that someone leaks everything and we don't know if they are complete or accurate.
This is also true.
I don't get it. Maybe Thibs is not the Jimmy fan I thought he was.
Well, we've got our 3 for the future (assuming that Wyc means no trade will follow), so we need big men. Will Skal fall? He's got tools, and like Brown, a disappointing freshman.

I want Sabonins, but that is heavily based on childhood worship of his father when I was growing up. Young Arvydas was astonishing.
Seems pretty obvious all the Dunn talk was just made by Ainge and company to get offers from Bulls and Sixers. They never intended to take him at all. Brown always the guy.
Thibs might not like butler

If they liked Brown for themselves, why not trade down? That's the part that I don't get.
There goes Buddy.
There goes Buddy.
I'm 100% sure there were other pieces we don't know about.
There's a chance all these teams thought Danny would blink and kept offering shit.

Wyc Grousbeck still touting #Celtics desire to add TWO max free agents. He's on @985TheSportsHub now.

No guarantee he's there. 3-8 is really volatile. PHX might well have taken him at 4
