It’s all subjective but I think Tinsley better production than Fred and Niang thus far.

Aziz is before my time but on stats seems like a good argument. Must have had some injuries because lots of seasons always with decent minutes but lots of partial year games played.

Grayer I barely saw play in nba (small markets but I saw a handful of his games) but his stats aren’t that different than Fred. Would be a fun thread to lay out career totals.
Yeah, my bad. Tinsley too. I honestly didn't think he lasted that long in the league so I didn't check. Would be a fun thread.

I get in nba debates all the time and Kareem is my cutoff, I only saw him play as past his prime so I just don’t comment on pre Magic/Bird.

Abdul-Aziz is that for me too, just no clue but I’m not arguing with Cyclones who think he’s a top legend. I’ll trust them.

Yeah, and Georges tends to disappear in the playoffs . Off season is here!
Huh? I was pleased by how much he was playing, even in crunch time, during their final series in the playoffs.

The East could be rough enough for Boston to get a 6-8 seed maybe.

Halliburton out for Indy, Knicks don’t have a coach, Giannis might get traded and Lillard out. Cleveland and Detroit are the only two teams really on an upswing.

You forgot my beloved Magic after the Desmond Bane trade (though I will dearly miss Cole Anthony).

Paolo WILL be NBA MVP one day.

GO MAGIC!!!!

Georges has an expiring contract. It makes him valuable in trades this year. He's got enough talent to at least to be useful minutes for any team, but they don't have to commit to him beyond this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he is part of another mid-season trade.

Georges would make a nice coaching addition in 3 years.
Or even a GM role like so many teams are adding. Him plus Garrett on the staff would make for some fun behind the scenes practices to watch them going at the young guys.

Expiring contracts are useful if a team is willing to take on a few years of bad salary to get draft picks. Boston was intentionally shedding salary to get under the cap and avoid the repeater tax, so I don’t see a scenario where they would trade Georges. I could be wrong.

Agreed, he will probably play out his contract in Boston and then become a free agent.

Holiday and porzingas looked pretty seriously washed these playoffs.

I was hoping (as Pacers fan) that NY would take care of Celtics and Pacers were a great matchup with Cavs. Watching that Boston/NY series, there was no way Boston was beating Indiana.

I might be with you because not Knicks is always a favorite team.

I'm not disagreeing, but I think his future is somewhere is media.

Agreed. He got his cert from "Broadcaster U" which is a program the NBPA has set up for players interested in broadcasting when they're done. He has also been doing some stints on the NBA channel.
