Also, a Suns fan is the last person who should be talking about Ainge's drafting. Didn't cheap *** Sarver sell Boston the 21st pick in '06 to make some quick cash, which turned into...Rondo?


again, you proved yourself wrong in your own post LMAO

You say I shouldn't talk crap about Ainge because the suns draft history? Why are you assuming I'm just like you boston fans and think my GM is good at drafting same way you guys think Ainge is good at drafting?

That is the PRoblem! I can criticize my own team but also criticize others as well. learn how to read and make sense before you make yourself look dumb.


Sigh, why do I even interact with trolls?

All I showed in my post was that your owner is terrible, and that Ainge turned the 21st pick into Rondo as a data point for his drafting acumen.

Move along now.


Again I can admit my owner is trash, you can admit no wrong it seems...

You are almost as bad as the guy early in the thread that mocked my name being lonzo ball, asking me you think some 19 year old kid that hasn't played 1 nba game is going to be a star?

Then goes around and says his team is set for future because he has future draft picks lmao the irony was classic.

Anyways, Have a good day guys.

Not agreeing with your awful trade scenarios is not equivalent to admitting this team can do no wrong.

By the way, I think Lonzo Ball will be very good.

See ya.

It's likely already been noted, but Whiteside makes so much sense for the Celtics.
28 & 20 against the Warriors - he Master Trolled their Front Court.
I'd love to see if the Celts could work out something like Brown, Smart & 2018 Nets pick for him,
but the 2017 pick should be off limits. Whiteside, one of the Franchise PGs and sign Millsap in the OffSeason,
and Contender they are...

I'll spell it out for you since it seems hard for you to grasp.

You mock my name saying sarcastically "you think some 19 year old kid that hasn't played 1 NBA game is going to be a star?" Then you go on to say how having draft picks is why your team is set for the future. News flash kid, you are picking a 19 year old kid that hasn't played 1 NBA game with the draft picks.

I really think it's comical I had to spell that out for you but ya

But ya, still isn't irony because there is nothing unexpected about a poster mocking your obviously stupid name.

Plus, if your reading comprehension was up to snuff you'd be able to differentiate between poster's messages. Since I never made the comment that you charge. It's okay if you're from Canada, English may be your second language, or if you're from Arizona we know the education system is simply interior.

Run along, your mom probably needs you to empty the dishwasher.

you brag about having draft picks but make fun of people that are potential draft picks. Claiming it's comical to think some 19 year kid is going to be a star. Well then why the hell do you care about draft picks then?

Nice job! Good, you are correct you have just defined verbal irony! Now, if I was being sarcastic about thinking "LonZoBallin" being a stupid name then you'd have a case, but since I was sincere it sadly isn't verbal irony. I'll give you a B- for research since it took you this long to look up the definition. Still an F for application however.

I'll have to spoon feed you the answer now, clearly you are/were on an ed plan, so you need some extra help. What you are desperately trying to describe is sitautional irony, (I'll let you do your homework for the definition.) Check the trade board junior I didn't brag about the picks, no need who knows what Ainge does with the assets? So this isn't an example of situational irony.

Irony is a difficult concept, it's nice that you tried, but clearly you don't have the intelligence to utilize the word correctly. Adios muchacho.

Bogut looks like only option imo...If Cousins really plans to sign that extension and with Chi asking for to much for Butler...not a lot of options in trade market.

Yeah, looks like Bogut is the route to take.

Whiteside's going to cost too many assets, and Ainge could have made him a big offer last summer, if he really wanted him.

Noel will likely cost them max cap space, unless they want to trade AB & Rozier, which hurts the team this year.

Not interested in Whiteside's cost. Would rather go Bogut (cheap) then Noel.

I think NOel would be a terrific 5 for us. He can eventually keep on extending his range too.

We have two bigs stashed overseas we do not need or even want him. He trashed a house he rented, left behind drugs the owners said. The owners who were or are suing him said they felt a death threat was left for them also .

Because that's how he acts with his own franchise.

We swapped them Cleveland's pick for the following year actually.

Still a bad trade though and was prob still financially motivated too. Just slightly less egregious kind of.
