You guys need rebounding, JV just put up 25 rebounds on your team. You really trust Ainge drafting with those picks?

You can bank on Lowry and DD being old by the 2019 pick. You guys will have the BK situation all over again

Ha! Wow those are bad. I really only care about the shoe thing because of how it affects the game, I couldn't care less about the shoe style part of it.

But even being a lame 40 year old, I wouldn't touch those with a 10 foot pole those are god-awful lol.


PG has some dope new kicks. First time in years I will buy a player's shoes.

Those are clean. Up there with the Kyrie 2's from Nike.

Why would Cousins care how much leverage the Kings have if he actually wanted to leave? He'd be hurting whatever team he was traded to.



"You're stuck here unless we get better trade offers"


Theoretically of course

Nah I think if anything he'll sign on the dotted line and then start demanding a trade. He reportedly really likes Sacramento so I don't see why he doesn't stick around until he's locked in that $200m. If he wants he can force himself out of Sac when the time comes.

You don't believe any of what you just wrote, Lowry and Derozan will certainly still have the Raptors in the playoffs 2 years from now. JV sucks, I wouldn't trade him for Amir straight up (cap implications being heavily considered here).

Why wouldn't we trust Ainge with draft picks? You act like it takes a rocket scientist to pick in the top 3.

I'd prefer the chances of Ainge drafting in the lottery... than JV solving our problems.

Jalyn Brown suggests maybe you do need a rocket science to pick top 3.

If you look at Ainges Draft history there's about 3-5 players behind each of his picks that are better than the guys he took. RJ Hunter over Montrezl Harrell? Kelly over Greek Freak? Smart over Randle?

It will be hard to mess up this year but your team does need a PF so....I wouldn't be shocked if Ainge goes Giles.

What was wrong with the Jaylen Brown pick? And I'd rather take Smart than Randle 100 times out of 100. KO over Giannis sure and the other was at the end of the first round. Your point doesn't have much legs to stand on

I think you may have the same problem that Ainge does. Rumour around the league is the Celtics value their own players much more highly than the rest of the League does. It's why they haven't been able to make a trade for a superstar...namely Marcus Smart and Jalyn Brown. I know Ainge thinks really highly of these two, the rest of the league just doesn't...

Nice of you to have written off Jaylen Brown in less than 40 games because it doesn't suit your narritive. I think we're done here

Yeah, if other teams liked Smart and Brown more than they like their own superstars, I'm sure they'd want to trade. On the other hand, we might not want to trade if that were the case.

Its a real pickle.

Bender sucks. Dunn sucks. Hield is good. Murray sucks. Chriss is decent, but a worse prospect than Brown.

Who should we have picked? Another guard? You're full of ****.

Chriss actually has been one of the worst players in the NBA this season.

Wrong. Ainge tried to trade 4 picks, including the BKN16 pick for Winslow and the BKN16 pick for Okafor. Rectify that with him overvaluing his own pieces.

Ainge cashed in once for KG. Nobody out there is close to KG. Ainge isn't going to value Smart and Jaylen terribly just because some clowns on the internet get all emo about the Celtics. We're on our way to 52ish wins, ESPN has us 3rd in the Future Power Rankings after GSW and Cleveland, and I can't remember the last time we lost a trade. Perhaps you and other GMs are underrating the assets. Citing Randle over Smart is likely a good example of someone shagging points per game.

Hey, last time I checked your team couldn't pull a trade and ended up having to cut a 1st round pick because of it. Horrible asset management imo

He was the 28th pick. It's not the asset management. It's the dart throw of the draft. If you want to hold every GM to the standard of making good picks from 28, good luck with that.

Young is in the same category. Bad asset management would have been picking up his team option and having to pay a team picks or compensation to take him next summer.
