Trade Thread #7: The Tide is Turning, but still Myles to go

[return2glory]

Time to step away from this board a little. Panic mode is setting in on the board now.

Nothing to see here. And pass up on Milsap.

Fire danny, no bench in bubble was inexcusable, no kill shot moves have been able to been executed, terrible contracts galore.

Careful larry. Your well respected around here. Skate this hot take verrry cautiously.

Has LBF really turnt?

I took that as hardcore sarcasm. Although I could be wrong.

[flintsky21]

Sign a couple of shooters (Korkmaz, Ellington) and hope for the best.

[The Corey's]

Just for perspective.

Kemba has 3 years around 105 mil left.

Stop with the danny doesn't do bad contracts take.

Thats a good contact. Thats where you're mistaken

It's prorated worse than hayward, they're the same age, both have injury issues.

Yea I think not. It's the same contract really.

That's how you know you're dealing with green teamers.

Last year danny a genius by not losing the cap hold on the max slot, this year danny a genius for not giving in to haywards contact demands.

Lololol

Extending the option and then losing him for nothing is inexcusable

I'm guessing Ainge felt that Indiana was going to cave to his demands and when they didn't Hayward got impatient and started looking elsewhere. It was already rumored that Indy was willing to go to 100 over 4.

[Tyakack]

Well, we just need to all come to grips with the fact we're gonna be a good team next year that falls just short of being good enough... Which management seems to be okay with from the looks of it.

[WeLikeOurGuys]

Options left for full MLE are trash...

[Green89]

Almost Shaq Harrison time.

More like IT's actually coming back time.

Wouldn't be the first time today

Read on Twitter

Well as a non-Hayward fan I could see him almost match 4-120 as a first option player. I can see him get to 20-7-5.

[Dogen]

Millsap is still pretty good, dunno why everyone is **** on him. I wouldn't want him on a multi-year deal, but for a season to play 12-15 mins a game and hit some corner threes and play some OK post defense in certain matchups he's fine.

Exactly, everyone complains about not enough bench help for the playoffs. Millsap doesn’t need a lot more of minutes, just needs to be ready to contribute.

[celticfan42487]

It's obviously ultimately Gordon's decision. The reason I think Danny mismanaged this is not that Hayward left. But, that Danny used draft assets to clear salary. He stashed another draft pick. He was purposely not adding roster spots. He postponed Gordon's option post draft. But then he lost him for nothing. You gotta be able to read that better.

Not a fatal mistake, and there's still offseason left, we're not tied down with any new bad contracts, etc. But, from the draft thru today hasn't gone ideally.

Yup, even traded Kanter away to free up roster space.

Ainge 100% expected that he had Gordon wrapped up in a box and in a corner.

And he got the rugged pulled out from him.

This is us being caught and embarrassed.

But for that contract... you can't exactly say that was something one could have forseen. But Ainge put his chips in and found out Hayward had a flush when he was just sitting on a couple of Aces.

It sucks. Ainge's moves shown he never saw it coming. He got ****.

Stop with the danny doesn't do bad contracts take.

right? If CHA offered us Hayward and his contract for Kemba and his I make that trade. We are not winning anything with Kemba making $36 million plus. It's hilarious hearing people mock a small market team like Charlotte for the Hayward contract while we have Kemba's.

[Ben-N1ce]

Ibaka is the best option left and he'll go to the Nets.

[Captain_Caveman]

LOL @ bashing Danny after he made the ECFs 3 of the last 4 years with teams that were both young and injured.

I remember when winning championships was the goal.

This ecf take keeps coming up and it's just lololololol

[jirrit]

Well, which contract you'd prefer? Kemba's or Gordon's?

Not providing this team a bench last year was a big miscalculation by Ainge. Riley made the moves that Ainge wasn't willing to make, it put Miami over the top and destroyed Boston's playoffs.

My main issue at this point is that it seems that Ainge has burnt too many bridges around the league and he apparently failed to take this olive branch opportunity when it presented itself, if Gary Washburn is to be trusted.

Let's start hanging banners for ECF's, lmao.

[Marley2Hendrix]

I for one am tremendously excited about the prospect of using gordon's 32 minutes to actually develop Nesmith/Langford rather than using them to rehab him for the 4th time.
