So we used all the cap space to sign 3 role players? K.

[dineke]

Se we're just going to keep demar on the last year of his contract? He's either going to walk for nothing or they're planning to sign him to an extension. Both of those things are bad for us.

[Horses Fart]

Almost 22 million on DeMarre and Joseph. Still not sure about this.

Wat

[jays_fever]

Demare isn't a role player, he's a legit key starter

[Dr. Dinger]

Wat

 

Wat wat? Care to explain how Carroll, Joseph, and Biyombo are the stars we needed to take this team to the next level? Cause I'm not seeing it.

Your dumn

Pretty big dollars for a guy who's incapable of being an offensive focal point. He's really more of an all-around glue guy.

[Dr. Dinger]

That's been well established, but I'd bet against this team winning 45+ games next year or making it past the 1st round.

Bolded is dumn

 

Second part is a reasonable statement given its only happened once ever.

[Dr. Dinger]

It's not dumn at all. This team drastically over-performed in the 1st half. There's a very real chance this isn't even a .500 team next year. I fail to see how Joseph is going to replace the output of Lou and Vasquez in the backcourt, we're going to be really f***ed when Lowry inevitably hits the wall and gets dinged up.

This looks like a board wager in the making.

If the offense doesnt change you are probably right. However Lou was an iso chucker who the team started following suit.

 

I don't even want to get started on GV - I will easily eat crow if CoJo isn't far superior to him in every aspect.

 

It's Ross and CoJo (not just Cory) replacing GV and Lou. I don't think replacing the production will be a problem at all.

 

My biggest worry right now is our rebounding with Patterson starting at the 4.

[Dr. Dinger]

You need at least two star-level offensive options to be a contender in the NBA. DeRozan isn't that and never will be, he's a volume scorer who really can't make things happen against elite teams.

Agreed.

 

$50 on over 44.5 Wins?

I'd bet pretty hard on them winning 50+. Replacing vasquez with Joseph is huge

I'm in on this

[TRM]

Everyone leave me alone this is my bet to hustle dinger not yours

[Dr. Dinger]

Agreed.

Bet me Donaldson, big man.

[GD]

I'll bet you $50 and Jayson Werth in the FC although idk who I'd want back when I win

[Frag]

This DeAndre Jordan drama is hilarious!

[Dr. Dinger]

I'll bet you $50 and Jayson Werth in the FC although idk who I'd want back when I win

 

a) I can't take your lunch money, kiddo and I do not want the rotten corpse of Jayson Werth.

Scared?

 

I'll bet you Pedroia and $40.

[Dr. Dinger]

You won't own either of those players probably by the time we'd close on this bet.

[GD]

You make a good point.

 

bet me though

[Dr. Dinger]

Nah, I'll never bet against a team I cheer for. I'm just not a deluded homer like you suckers.

[Boxcar]

Man, Paul Pierce is insufferable.

And has no idea how to use a smartphone.

No, your just dumn. Dr. Dumn.
