I assume you'll be checking out of here then?


No. We need fans here that want to win and hold the binkie lovers accountable.

Hopefully AL opts out and goes elsewhere, then we just have this gordon hayward problem. Trade him for anything, he's a waste of money, let someone else waste their time. Draft nothing but PF and bigs this draft.

Lol this is what I'm talking about. They will not be one of the best teams next year. Not excited for this season at all. Could care less now. Danny is an idiot

**** the Lakers. Too much of a risk with AD and him obviously wanting to go to LA. Plus giving up your top prospects is not worth it. This is for Lebron to get one more run at championships. The guy has tried to recruit everybody to play with him. Can't wait till he retires and is gone. In the end you will be better for it.

They were the year before and they shed the cancer that is kyrie Irving

Sounds like ECF bound again to me.

This will work out like all the hype the Lakers got when they added Steve Nash and Dwight Howard....

The road got tougher for the celtics much tougher. Do you know how tough it was watching the celtics go into rebuilding in 2013. Rooting for them to lose/tank. They have a long way to go before they are championship contenders. Boston is not a free agent destination or should i say a big free agent destination. It is going to be a long time before they win a championship.

They literally go hand in hand. He didnt make that move because he thought if he did he couldn't make this move.

He didnt make that move and STILL didnt make this move.

How is that not inexcusable


Isn't that basically what i said though? I don't think Ainge should be fired, Hayward going down and Kyrie backtracking aren't on him.

But he definitely has some work to do, and yeah maybe they should consider Zarren taking over sooner than later.


Irving is all on him. Him or Steven's.

Dude said earth was flat and couldnt even get along with lebron. If you didnt know he was a special kind of something then you cant read people.

Personally I am just glad there won't be anymore AD threads. They have annoyed me a great deal for the last few years. :lol: Also I had a feeling Ainge would never get AD once LA and others became involved. Best time to get AD was when he got Kyrie.

Lakers get stars because LA is a desirable place for players. It’s harder for Boston. Ainge and his staff have to draft better.

Lebron after leaving the Cavs, wasn’t like I want to go to Boston. He wanted to go play in LA. AD wanted to be traded there and not to Boston.

Boston I’m sure is a great City but the cold weather doesn’t help too much for star players.

Danny and his staff have their work cutout for the them. But as a Celtic fan, I’m excited going forward to see what the Celtics will become. It’s about time our team experiences some good luck.

Tatum’s value took a devastating hit this year, especially in the playoffs and especially against Milwaukee were he was borderline unplayable.

At least the Lakers kids never had the chance to get exposed in the playoffs against a good opposition. Not sure how they will turn out but based on potential and the number of recent and upcoming lottery picks involved, Pelican got a good return. They can now easily get RJ with Zion if they want by including that 2020 Lakers pick along with the 4OVA to move up one spot.

I guess Ainge was mad he couldn't do an insider deal like the KG trade and decided to bow out.

He just traded a ton for a rental in Irving.


Jae Crowder injured IT and a pick? Also for two years and not one.

AD is a top 7 player who is still in his prime. Nash and Howard were done.
