Pretty simple to understand but half the board is in shambles just like they were last year with Horford going to Philly.

Rinse and Repeat. When will you clowns learn?

When our clown gm stops making the same mistakes.

You give hayward his 120 mil, come July it's already down to 90 and 3 years which in this nba is nothing

Horrible. Disgusting. Undefendable.

Dude you're **** INSANE if you think we should have given Hayward that contract. I guess I need to put you on my list of posters to never take seriously.

Note to Karalis and others:

Hayward did not have the final say in going to Charlotte, as they don't have enough cap space. They need help, and Ainge is going to comply. That's the frustration here. This isn't a team that had cash and just swooped in a grabbed Hayward and Hayward signed there freely as a FA. It can't go down like that.

Like thus dude got 120 million FULLY GUARANTEED!! Guys idc who you are, choosing $20 million over moving back home is a easy choice.

[themoneyteam2]

We don’t know what went on behind the scenes. That’s why I’m not saying fire Ainge.

Please respect the right of people to express their frustration. This is their time to shine. When the the team finishes rounding up the roster, they'll stop posting.

How belittling. We are not worthy.

Yeah when you don't understand how this works you really aren't tbh

[pac213up]

Gordon Hayward wanted out of Boston. Charlotte really Hayward. He definitely wanted to leave the Celtics. Probably has to do with the players, change of scenery, the media, fans Etc

Gordon wanted to go to the Pacers. When Charlotte turned up with their offer, it proved too good a deal to pass up, trumping returning to Indiana. Simple as that.

That is the sum of it. There was no S&T for Ainge to make with the Pacers with this Charlotte offer out there. Hayward was waiting to see if Indy would up their offer and they did not.

Again it’s not about the deal. The fact that it got to a point where another max player wanted out and you got nothing for it is what’s frustrating. Ainge misplayed his hand. This team is now worse off and have very little options to improve. It’s amazing people are okay with this....

[Homerclease]

And this is where I make my exit for another few months. Way too many excuses for Ainge here. Way way way too many.

Oooh PLEASE make it longer

At least something good came out of this situation

[return2glory]

I tried to tell ya Ainge would be coming with we where close but Red told me the sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make..

Honestly I don’t think Ainge in the end had w chance to make a deal here like everyone thinks. Charlotte make in and blown Hayward away with a huge overpay. People are. Upset because Charlotte kept that very discreet. So it seemed like it make out of nowhere.

I have a feeling this deal was presented to Hayward and his agent last night. That was the hold up. Hayward was discussing the decision with his family because their initial move was to Indy.

Also Red was in a much different era. There was so many less teams to compete against and the players weren’t this money hungry. And there was less money to throw around at players.

[The Corey's]

For what another 1st round draft pick? They were trying to win a championship who wanted Gordon heading into a 34 mil player option?

Unless you're willing to debate this from the perspective that danny **** this up horribly by losing a max contract cap hold for nothing then there's no point in doing this.

We can't have a fourth max. Never could. Only way Hayward or anyone else stayed was huge discount to 20m max next year. We trade Hayward for a 4year near max deal we ****. What teams have four max pay slots?

We lost the moment hayward opted out. It's that simple.

[sully00]

Wow! $120M to go play in Charlotte for a bum team. Didn’t see that coming and don’t understand why they’d do it. Good for him though to get paid.

Most likely because Pacers were dead due to Ainge pulling Ainge ****

Or Pacers were dead because they didn’t want to match a crazy 4/120 offer.

I feel like I am in a bizzaro world! I wanted Turner pretty badly, but neither the Pacers nor the Celtics wanted anything to do with matching that offer. I’m sure the Pacers and Celtics were actually the top 2 places he wanted to be, and he called their bluff on money, and neither moved an inch.

I am not sure the deal could even work at this number between Boston and Indiana without one of them going into the tax.

[MrGreenRunsDeep]

Wtf just happened .. Ainge screwed up

[31to6]

Expand that deal, we’ve got a lot of homies who want out

[Jakeopp]

Damn, that's a loss for us. Danny needs to act.

On a serious note, Jae is off the table, too. There's not much left on the market. No idea what Danny's plan is.

Get worse.

This is like Rondo going to Lakers. I will always root for AB, but yuck

Competition getting stronger. Celtics have upside and youth on the youngest bench in the NBA though....

[Roddy]

Fans : "we need scoring from the bench, vets and a big"

Ainge :

Bro what? How did he not have the final say in going to Charlotte? He was an unrestricted free agent lol.

I can't believe you just typed that...

[SMTBSI]

Ainge at the very least could take Batum and move his expiring with a 1st round pick for Drummond/Horford.

Get some return

Ugh. Don't throw good money after bad. Last thing we need to do right now is overreact out of a need to "salvage" this.

Spend the full MLE, play the kids, build their value.

Losing the asset for nothing is insane.

Ainge can’t hold a gun to Hayward’s head and say sign here. This isn’t The Godfather

[flintsky21]

And so Danny's streak of not doing non-draft pick-centered trades live on. (Kyrie trade, 2017)
