I can't believe Ainge included that BKN pick.

Wow Cavs made out like bandits

Yeah I fear IT more than Kyrie in the clutch.
I marvel at Kyrie, but fear Isaiah.

*Face Palm*

I.T. for Irving is almost a wash slight edge to Irving defensively

Losing Avery Bradley for Gordon Hayward hurts defensively

Losing Jae Crowder and replacing him with a 19 year old rookie or 20 year old sophomore hurts defensively big time

They can still roll Irving/Smart/Hayward/Morris/Horford and be almost as good if not better than last season. Not a humongous issue and they even improved on O

Defensively? No

Boston knows they're not beating Cleveland next year...

But they make their nucleus younger and more talented and have more attractive assets. They're sitting nicely when
Lebron leaves or starts to lose a step.

I fear Kyrie too but without Lebron, that Fear level has gone down a notch

I fear Cavaliers now and next year more than I do the Celtics, I honestly think Cavaliers didnt get any worse, and Celtics didnt get any better. But Cavaliers now have a chance to get much better next year with a Top 5 Pick and if LeBron returns.

PS. Still think Irving has gotten overrated, and it will show with the Celtics. Chance to prove me wrong Kyrie.

I had IT on my fantasy team last year and let me tell you...he's a problem.

Cavs somehow improved their 3 point shooting which I didn't think was possible. And if they add Wade lord help us.

Shitttt. They should move horford for a younger big man and vomit to a young but really good core

Terrible trade for the celtics

VinBaker6 · Post #75 » by **VinBaker6** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 11:32 pm

Ainge messed up. He could've offered the Brooklyn pick to Chicago for Jimmy.

Then have:

IT
Jimmy
Hayward
Morris
Horford

That's better than what they have now.

I am content with Boston getting Irving, rather than Father Butler or Paul George.

love it for cleveland, boston got 1 more year of controllablity but at an enormous cost.

Young_Buc · Post #78 » by **Young_Buc** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 11:33 pm

Cavs need to see what superstar Kevin Love and the Brooklyn pick gets you. Kick the tires on Anthony Davis

vaff87 · Post #79 » by **vaff87** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 11:34 pm

I don't get it. I would have been iffy on trading Isaiah for Kyrie straight up.

Kahn_2001 · Post #80 » by **Kahn_2001** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 11:34 pm

Smh so Danny boy didn't want to give up the bkn pick for Butler or George, but packaged it with his best player for Kyrie? I love it, those idiot Celtics fans were already counting how many rings they were going to win as a result of the bkn picks. Lol
