If the Celtics or Philly went full tilt the Lakers wouldn’t get him.

That being said it’s Amick who is a slight cut above Blakey

Neither of those teams are going full tilt for a rental/potential rental.

It worked, lol.

So probably Ingram/Kuzma/Ball or Ingram/Kuzma/Hart/picks. Something along those lines.

They will try to save Ball for another trade.

Spurs also don’t want his ass.

If nothing else, it's been a lot of fun. Given us plenty to talk about.

It's great having a GM who is such a G.

Remember when we were stupid for not acquiring Paul George for all our picks?

How's that working out for OKC?

Or for Jimmy Butler and his chronic knee issues.

Good times.

Tons of rumors with Phoenix and Cleveland.
I can see a multi team trade coming with BAll being rerouted somewhere else and picks going to San Antonio.

"Ask who wants to trade for an in-his-prime Kevin Garnett and 30 hands will go up. Ask who planned for it three or four years in advance and Danny Ainge is nearly alone. Same for Daryl Morey in Houston trading for James Harden. San Antonio’s Peter Holt said after signing LaMarcus Aldridge this summer, “R.C.[Buford] came to us with this plan three years ago, four years ago—seriously. And we’ve worked at it ever since.”

Amick looks like he is leaking for the Spurs trying to get the Celtics/Sixers to up their offer.

Kawhi will be heading to LA. Relax everyone. Ainge loves to be involved to pick up extra assets

Lonzo being traded to Siberia would be a cherry on top of all this.

You just know he is going to pry a first-rounder from someone. :lol:

For me, I'm not sure I can get excited until I see a rumor by a guy who has a cousin that works TSA at Logan who says Kawhi has been spotted.

Hearing Kyrie is totally on board for Kawhi joining the Celtics.
The Celtics pitch to Horford, Hayward and more recently to Kyrie is that ownership, management are committed to building a tire winning team. A healthy & engaged Kawhi gives Boston a better shot at raising banners.
Team feels like they don't HAVE to make a deal here, but that making a deal puts them in that 08-10 type place where they are HEAVYWEIGHT contenders

If we land Kawhi you can pretty much assume that you are kissing Brown goodbye.

Hmm lol did u check twitter what people are saying we don’t have to include brown. We can make a package around rozier and smart or Morris and send some picks lol I will include blind Baynes for free in that trade lol

What the **** does this mean?

If Kyrie, Hayward, and Horford are all in, that in itself speaks volumes. I’m not so high on taking the risk if it means giving up Brown and valuable picks, but if the core guys and Kawhi are all committed, the team will comprise the best challenge to GS for the next few years.

until we hear ainge publicly say "no player's untouchable" there's no reason to believe he's not involved.. he definitly has a gambling issue
