I still can't believe JB didn't join KP in Atlanta.

No.

If we trade White, Brown and Tatum, that will be what it feels like.


Yea as long as they keep those three, when they step on the court together we will be good.


Are you are forgetting who is coaching this team?
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

The writing was on the wall even before JT suffered the injury. It was already there as soon as we traded for KP and Jrue. It was always a two-year window with the current CBA. Be happy that we even got one title in two years. We're just operating as expected.

Yup the suck is just that the whole thing fell apart this year compared to last year.

I will put this here. Let's not act like Simons didn't put up 23, 5 and 4 just two seasons ago.

I’m hoping they fire him about halfway through next season.

Ya know, I was excited by Steve Bulpett's report that we're looking to trade up for Kasparas Jakucionis. I was excited for a minute, until I realized who is leaking this name to bulpett? We all know Steve Bulpett was tight with Danny Ainge. So is Austin Ainge feeding our plans to Bulpett?

Like, what the heck. Why can't the front office play their cards closer to the vest. This is three years in a row, long wing (Walsh, O-Max, or Julian Phillips) in 2023 got leaked. Last year Baylor Scheierman got leaked to Givony. And this yr, Bulpett is announcing C's target the night before the draft.

What the heck? Is this revenge of Austin Ainge, lol, but not really... lol

Too bad he can’t guard a chair and can’t drive nor properly play within an offense.

I can’t wait til he’s traded already along with fat boy NIANG

Yawn….Brad is the same guy that traded Smart for a pick and Prozingis..the guy makes good trades and elevated a good roster to a championship team pretty quickly.

I’m sure this was the best available. I mean, maybe someone tossed in a slightly better turd than Niang, but there was probably more cost/2nds involved.

Let’s see if Hauser goes next….

Looking forward to the draft!

What they mind more if paying someone $30 million plus and also he did was get abused in the playoffs.

No ****.

We won’t be contending with this new roster either devoid of assets.

Purgatory is a massive chance

Some things are just out of your control. Joe should catch some flak for not bringing the best out of everyone on the roster ala Hospital Celtics in 2018 but the Cs were unlucky with injuries this season even before Tatum fell.

There's a world where we just dump Hauser coming off a repeat and pay a bunch of tax/apron stuff this year for a 3-peat.
Alas, we skipped step 2 of that timeline.

Don’t know how people are surprised or upset.
Brad has done well in the last 24 hours.

Perhaps take an economics class?

Late first from a title contender -MAX. More likely a backup big and a second rounder.

I can't believe the emotional breakdowns around here. What has Brad done to deserve this lack of faith?
