Boston @ Dallas tonight - Flagg 36/9/6. 2 blocks. 12/24 shooting. 1 turn. Dallas only put up 100. I really don't know how to put into words what this kid is doing lately. It's like all-time, all-time shit. He might be one of the greatest players we've ever seen. He's fucking 19.
I just really can't with this basketball program anymore. How much money do you need? What coach do you need? How much of a home-court advantage do you need? How much closer do you need to be to elite talent in your own fucking backyard? Stop being such a bunch of perennial fucking losers. Up 13 in the first half and you can't even attempt a shot to win the game. Haven't won a tournament game in 38 fucking years. Doing their best to miss the tourney again this season and I bet they pull it off. Just one embarrassment after another like clockwork. Also shout-out Boopie Miller - we had to bench your stupid-ass to get back into the game then you come back in and completely fucking blow it when we have a chance to win. Fuck you.
Some of the shit he put on tape this game was ridiculous. For his size he is a really good ball-handler and passer and his finishing ability is impressive as well. Huge frame - good athlete. Has the tools to be a good shooter and versatile defender. I would be shocked if he isn't a 1st round pick and think that he's creeping towards the low 20s at this point. Rookie scale for pick 30 for next year is going to be $6M plus guaranteed over the first two seasons. Generally the full four years get picked up and that's even more money. If Texas is dropping a bag it's going to have to be $3M territory and at that point you tell that kid to go to the draft. Fun to have guys like he and Tre on back to back teams.
Yes - it makes the Cavs better this season. Garland doesn't play and he isn't exactly Gary Payton on defense. Harden and Kawhi have been on a fucking tear lately. It's likely a good contract dump by Cleveland whether Harden pans out or not.
It's probably about matching other team's offers at this point but not sure what the overall interest level is and I doubt anyone else is offering much for White. I mean shit - DFS for White I'd throw a 1st in there and just rinse your hands of the DFS mess. Half-guessing he gets bought out of his contract and is out of the NBA before his final year. Dude is atrocious.
