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

[chrisab123]

**** it bring Millsap and Rondo. Great vets for our young players.

Do you really think they're going to make the logical move of bringing in Rondo? He's a difficult personality. Can't have those around Brad. No sir re bob

[threrf23]

At some point Ainge deserves the criticism he's getting. Today he deserves it, no one can rubber stamp errors continually.

Still waiting for someone to explain the error he made today. My understanding is that free agents can sign where ever they like.

The word, unconfirmed, is that Hayward to Indy was a done deal if DA was willing to accept a package of Turner & McDermott. It is believed that Hayward wanted to go to Indy but Danny's refusal was holding it up. Under those assumptions, he may have pissed off Hayward, and he also gave other teams more time to consider an offer for Hayward.

Most here think that Turner/McDermott was a reasonable offer and that Danny would have been greedy to hold out for more.

So IND price was 120? I find that very difficult to believe especially when around the time the story broke it was mentioned that only when trade talks stalled he looked around. If Ainge wasn't greedy then Gordon would be a Pacer. Bottom line.

Read on Twitter

Again if Indiana had the money to sign him outright and only offered 4/100 they probably get him. Too much smoke about Ainge being a dink with the negotiations. Hayward got pissed and Hornets came in with a ridiculous offer. Sucks but it is what it is.

$20M buys a lot of video game consoles.

Weren't we reported to have interest in Tristan Thompson too?

I think it came out last year that Klutch didn't want him in Boston.

We handled a previous Mr Kardashian pretty well.... I thought I saw something more recent about interest, but meh.. not worth searching for.

Rondo to Hawks.

Danny is dealing with cards 25 other teams don't have. Let him run the hornets and he flunks out of that job just like did with coaching.

Not sure I agree. Celtics aren't a choice destination like LA or Miami. Owners aren't mega billionaires who will overpay no questions asked. Not sure what great cards the Celtics have over most teams. Players don't give a **** about our wins in the 60s.

Are you a player? Do you know one? How do you know what players think of Celtics history? I’ve only ever heard players speak how awesome it is to look up in the rafters at all the banners.

Actions speak louder then words. If players a whole care about it why didn't AD or KD want to here? Why aren't we on Harden's list.l? Why has LBJ never had us on his list? The superstars have never once forced their way here.

Rondo to Hawks.

Sigh

Another guy who made sense. I'm sure if Kemba goes down the guy from Oregon will be a fine replacement...

[Zombiesonics]

millsap coming off a 53 ts% ,10 PER , and a -6.4 net rating in the 2020 post season (19 games). It would be insane for ainge to chase this guy.

[Bostondave]

I feel impatience set us back with Kyrie. Wish the people here would have more patience. They want everything to happen so fast. Let the team grow together and gel together. In the long run it's best.

Isn't it just as likely that Hayward was fielding offers trying to get the best deal he could? And the Hornets blew him away. I don't buy this notion that he was willing to leave millions on the table in what will be his last major deal just to go home and play for a mediocre Pacers team.

[chrisab123]

Wanamaker, Ojeleye and Javonte Green are happy today. All three might be back

Great thats an A+ offseason right there.

Now we can watch Semi get all of Neismiths minutes, and Wanamaker take all of Pritchards minutes....A+

In Brads program Semi is a senior. He needs those minutes in order to graduate and go to the....

All I'm going to ask is whether or not you followed the timeline of the events that took place in these negotiations? If you followed them closely you'd be able to see how Ainge made this error.

Stars forced their way to Cleveland. Its all buddy buddy. If Kyrie wasn't a head case we had a legit shot at KD last season. We get a max contract all star every year we have cap. Its absurd that this is even still a myth

He got 2/15.. Was never even an option

KD is a snake who wanted an easy ring and got em riding the coattails of a dynasty. No one saw that coming and his legacy will forever suffer because of it. I’m pretty sure he signs with Boston if the Warriors don’t blow a 3-1 lead against the Cavs.

AD, a Klutch client wanted to go play in LA with Lebron and won a title because of it. Ainge still could’ve traded for him but got cold feet. If anything, blame the GM for not pulling the trigger.

Lebron in Boston? Next you’ll ask why MJ never entertained signing with the Pistons...

Until of course 3 years down the road Brown and Tatum want to move on and get pissed about playing for a consistent treadmill squad. Then the Celtics are on the hunt for the next 20 year old. Danny isn't about winning championships he's about collecting assets.

[SMTBSI]

I'm fine with Milsap, but I really only want him as a regular season minutes-soak a la Kanter. We do need some more depth.

But he's not elevating us to the promised land. It's time to find out what we have in the kids, if anything.

But you are willing to accept that he took $20 million more to play with a Charlotte team that may not make the playoffs and now be known as the worst contract in the league guy?

Don't the Celtics now have the full MLE?

He was definitely an option.

[threrf23]

Millsap would be a great signing IMO, a much better veteran presence than Brad Wannamaker (no offense to the guy), fills a position of more need, and we're just not going to do much, if any better for the MLE.
