BREAKING NEWS: Gordon Hayward signs with Celtics (4yr - 128mil)

[HarthorneWingo]

The Celts now are in a great position to trade for Marc Gasol. If that happens, they'll be in the Finals next season.

Nope.

LeBron and Kyrie say hello.

Really? So what's Cleveland offering Memphis? Shumpert and JR?

They don't have the assets to make that trade.

Man Tatum looks like a beast..i really envy what they have

We all do. We should be pissed when we don't do things like they've done. Such as facilitating trades for assets.

Well that deal with the Nets is really what set them up for the future and it was such a once in a lifetime bad move that they actually changed the rules to where u can't trade your draft picks in back to back years anymore

That rule had been in place for years. I forget when but I believe the Cavs were the team more than 20 years ago that caused that rule to go into place.

But yes that was a crap deal for 2 we'll past their prime stars.

[DrCoach]

Hayward is a very good role player. He is not an elite player.

ROLE player? Dude is a top 20-25 player in this league.

Nah, Hayward isn't top 25

The Stepien rule is from the 80's I think?

But that's wasn't what set them up for where they are now IMO. That's what set them up for the future.

It was facilitating the trade for CLE so they could get cap space to resign Lebron. They got a late pick for it. They used that late pick to get IT.

We shouldn't turn our nose up at any asset.

I agree, if something puts us in a better position you look at it, regardless of which team you're "helping"

Celts will manhandle Cavs so badly Lebron will run away ....literally

Fuq this.

You can not and will not tell players where they can go play.

no but there is a thing called competitive balance you can not have 4 teams compete year in and out and then have everyone else be the washinton generals.
The cap fixes part of this but not all. I don't like super teams and I don't like the lack of competition.
Like I said if brown gets no playing time he needs to force his way out. right now with tatum, gordon, crowder and the 2 gard infront of him is 15 minutes a night enough to develop. If I was a young player I would not want to go there.
Boston will try to move crowder but it won't be enough i think Melo to the cavs for Love may happen after that then what do we flip him for. We need to be in on a 3 yr plan we have a young pg, center and pf we need a swing player and love/melo should bring us some youth and assists

I didn't read all of this. You don't like superteams? Oh well. Time to watch a different sport. Fans getting pissy because players want to play together is silly as fuq.

No I don't like them because it shows how mentally weak the players have become since I was kid. What happened to trying to be the best? And then going out and playing to prove it. Players taking the easy way is silly as fuq. This is symptomatic of the entire generation, besides how long before people get tired of watching the same teams win? In the long run it is not good for the sport, my example is baseball the Yankees won allot but since they balanced out everything out in the 90 with the cap more teams have been successful and Baseball is on a resurgence. The same teams are not winning every yr.
The league actually can tell the players where to go but they should not have too. By putting in a hard cap, and checks and balances. People say super teams have been around for years but in most cases those players on the super teams were drafted with one or two trades, the old lakers and celtic teams are goo examples of that.

I would be willing to bet if this trend continues Soccer will over take basketball in the next 15 yrs. Just look at Atlanta's soccer team attendance.
