The Raps board reaction would be the best.


It would ignite a civil war on that board (Tankers vs non-tankers). It's already brewing. If this trade goes through, it gives the tankers all the ammunition they'd need. :lol:


Our bench is more promising than the current Raps team.

I heard from a friend of mine who sells used cars that Blake Griffin is negotiating to do car adds for Ernie Boch, and that they had him standing in front of a mirror practicing "Come on Down!" I also heard that Griffin is moving up to Toyota from Kia, but that's supposed to be a secret.


My cat told me we are getting Curry.

Power rankings for saltiest fan bases if George/Hayward happens here:

1) Toronto




2) Lakers


3) Utah
4) Cavs
5) Pacers


So sad that it's true when the Pacers would be losing the megastar.

Now, is this an inside cat or an outside/inside cat? If he got out a lot, i can see him hearing it from Danny or Wyc's cat.

Mark Titus had said it on The Ringer, but Hayward already knows how he'll be used and how he'll fit into Stevens system. The players all know each other, so I'm sure he's well aware of the team's culture. The interview should be more of a formality.

Gunna throw it out there, but Hayward is close with Kobe, and I'd bet he tells him to come to Boston. Kobe is also friendly with IT and could likely assuage any of his fears regarding playing with him.


Haha I read this as Hayward was gonna tell Kobe to come to Boston, and I almost threw up in my mouth. Kobe coming out of retirement to done a Celtics uni? Too much!!

Celtics taking on douchey David Lee might finally pay off. Didn't someone suggest before that maybe trading for his contract a couple of years ago then waiving him so he can go play wherever he wants was some sort of a favor to him and his agent? You know who shares an agent with DLee? Yep, Gordon Heyward. Maybe, just maybe he can get Gordie to take a pay cut. ;)

If we get Hayward and miss out on George[or vice versa] would we try and get Millsap? Atlanta is exploring doing a sign and trade for him and going full rebuild. I'd take him for a couple years if we only got George or Hayward

Maybe Ainge was angling for Hayward even way back then.."David Lee shares an agent with Hayward and he'll be a free agent in 2017.."

It's not just him, it's a quarter of the forum. I'm on the verge of making a thread about it but he's not even a Celtic, lol.

I think Tatum's gonna get traded to Indiana if we're getting Paul George. We keep the Lakers pick. Just a weird hunch.
