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

I have never doubted that you are sourced up, but I think you may be missing the forest for the trees on this. Really doesn’t matter what the Spurs or Celts brass or Celts players think. For us to make a legit offer, Kawhi is going to have to commit, which he is not gonna do. The rest is just noise, IMO.


That is my thinking as well. This is a carbon copy of what George did and now the Thunder don't have a thing to show for it beside a first round exit washed up overpaid Melo for 2018/2019.

For me it was about the Brooklyn pick. Couldn't have cared less about trading IT. But damn was that trade a steal.

I'm working from home. Played some PS4, and planned on working after beating a stage or two. And then the Woj bombs hit. Have only read 3-4 emails.


I envy you being home though. Being at work has me breaking the F4 key on my one computer!

I wasn't posting on this forum at the time (had a lot of life stuff going on), but I took a gander at that trade thread recently. My God. People calling for Ainge's head all over the place. Must have been fun times around here back then. lol.

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?


He didn’t know where the net was Against the Cavs! Wide open net...
yes he made the free throws but look at the bench. We don’t need this type of weak center. He is only good when someone dunks on him like Yannis did lol

It's days like this I am glad it's raining and I'm not at camp. Because if it was sunny, I'd be at camp with spotty wifi and using my phone at the pool.

I think it's mostly Kyrie that would be a worry. He is the guy that didn't want to play with LeBron and wanted to be "the man", so to speak.

Only you could take a Kawhi Leonard thread and turn it into a discussion about Aron Baynes.

Could be or it could be Irving was tired of Lebrons BS and knew the cavs were a sinking ship.

This x1000. The "he wanted to be his own man" narrative was a spin created by the media to take the heat off of LeBron. Did it have some merit? Maybe, but the reality of the situation is that he couldn't stand LeBron and also didn't want to be there when he knew LeBron was leaving this summer.

The dude asked a question because you were busy talking about "blind Baynes" and he wanted to knew what you meant, so you started the Baynes discussion. Nice try, though.

Your obsession with Aron Baynes is borderline psychotic. If I were Baynes I would sleep with one eye open.
