Good morning. Can we fast-forward to schedule release so I can circle some dates on the ol' calendar? Let's basketball.
The NBA offseason is escalating at a rapid pace. First, the Greek Freak-out was resolved with a trade to Miami. Then the Wolves traded for LaMelo Ball. Then the Blazers traded for Ja Morant. Then LeBron announced he was leaving the Lakers. Then the Raptors traded for Kawhi Leonard. Frankly, it would be expected that we'd all still be recovering from that one. And yet, the Atlantic Division blew that all away in one fell swoop Wednesday afternoon:
The Celtics signed Mitchell Robinson away from the NBA champion New York Knicks.
Oh wait, sorry. That was a precursor move. That was the preemptive spoonful of sugar to make this medicine go down smoother in Boston:
We're going to need a lot more sugar, friends, because that is some bitter, bitter medicine. Paul George, a first, a swap and two seconds for the 29-year-old who finished No. 6 in MVP voting? Forget medicine. This is fandom-level jug of colonoscopy prep.
