A lot of Celtics Trash rumors part 3

So apparently there is some dumpster fire rumor going around that the Cavs are trying to trade for Westbrook lol. Started by some CBS Sports guy. And the hilarious part is that they are saying it would require them to trade Kyrie and first round picks.

Speaking of awful rumors going around Twitter.

I think warnings, suspensions and band are gonna be dealt if certain posters don't cut the crap. Either contribute to the discussion or don't post.

Thomas is in LA this weekend too I'm curious if he shows up to the meeting.

IT is/was in San Diego with his kids. Jae is in Calabasas. Smart and Amir were both in Vegas during SL.

That is pretty interesting. So this truly has legs?

I've been telling you guys that it does for days now. I don't make crap up. That isn't fun for me.

Oh dude, I didn't mean that about anything you have posted. I don't think anything you have said is made up. But you have always been quite forthcoming about how things work and sometimes they happen and sometimes they don't. That's all. I hope I didn't offend you. If I did, my apologies.

What's this about a meeting? Is there some confirmed meeting or is this just more nonsense floating around this forum?

th
What could the sell possibly be on picking up the option. It's completely illogical for him to do so.... Unless ofto course his injury is chronic but then why would we trade for him....

I hope this doesn't hinge on the option cuz it really doesn't make sense for him to pick it up...

Boston has the cap space to renegotiate his deal up to the current max salary so he would make some money they can also give him a player option for a 3rd year to give him some security.

I'm not trying to be crude or funny or anything, but he might be on the spectrum. He has some tendencies that remind me aspergers. I could totally be wrong and I'm not trying to disparage anyone, but it seems like Wade isn't trying to irritate anyone, he's just missing some social cues.

You were asking rhetorically, but it got me thinking. Its not out of the question that some posters might actually have problems.

He doesn't have Asperger's **** Christ. Maybe I have it, because I'm champing to uncork a rant about how it's ****, and maybe you have it because you're missing the obvious boring social dynamic, he just joined with an opinion that contradicted the reigning groupthink and now he's being pressed into the role, which he kind of likes, as troll turd in the punch bowl 'standing up to' everyone light-bullying him. Pretty mouthed little **** can take some punches, will give him that.

Sometimes the only social cue people miss is the one that says "conform". We used to have punks and rock and rollers, now everyone who doesn't fit the mold has to hide on the Internet and worry they're a weird loser. **** neoliberalism, **** groupthink reality show alliance circle jerk bull. You know who were really good at catching social cues? The Nazis.

Alright I'm done.

I'm watching old clips of the celtics from the big 3 era as I wait for news to break. So much happiness and heartbreak. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything though.

Everything is nonsense apparently....until it's not

I was about to say that. He's gonna be a part of this, I hope that doesn't break any rules or whatsoever.

Tho DA said no one's untradeable, I think it will take more than Goatbrook to have IT get traded. Not overrating him or something.

But why would he do that? Westbrook doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who wants to pass the opportunity to be blown by a dozen teams in his first ever free agency while also taking less money by not waiting for the cap to increase.

I know you had to rant, but enough please and thank you.
