I believe NBA players are rational nowadays and such a team even with 38 wins this year instead of 48 would get a pitch meeting with both Horford and KD. And be in even a stronger position since only an idiot doesn't expect young playes to improve.
Lol...a desperate attempt to justify the tanking approach. Horford and KD are ready to win now. They do not want to wait another 3 years for players like Towns and Wiggins to learn how to win. No way they take a meeting with a team in that position.
Ainge played this close to perfect. Cap space for 2 studs, draft picks, and a bunch of players and depth ready to win now. Tanking would have left the Celtics with cap space and "potential" stars to develop or trade.....but that very little room to add depth.
Your response is an utter joke. You clearly didn't watch the Wolves last year. Andrew Wiggins and Towns are ready to win right now as the 2nd and 3rd best players on a team. I saw them beat Golden State in Oakland. The last two rookie of the years wouldn't help lure KD?
Towns is probably considered a top 25 NBA player heading into next season and Wiggins isn't that far behind based upon how he played the 2nd half of last year.
The Nets trade WAS a tanking trade.
ALL of the players who I said to get rid of in the summer of 2013 to tank harder for Wiggins are gone.
I said to get rid of Green/Rondo/Bass/Wallace(via buyout)/Lee and they are all gone.
It is the anti tankers that often wanted to build around Rondo/Love or Carmelo Anthony.
I routinely dismissed such moves. I don't want someone that hasn't been 1/5 as close to me on advocating the right moves to make to get away with joke opinions. Your arguments are ridiculously embarrassing.
Wiggins/Towns and loaded roster wouldn't make it harder to sign Horford/KD. They make it easier. Towns/Wiggins are the players you hope to draft with future Nets picks. You just hope to draft them on a team with tons of picks going forward and cap space.
If the Celtics had Towns/Wiggins, KD would only be meeting with one team. Boston. It would already be over with the other Celtics assets that they have. I mean over. The reason MN isn't getting meeting is since they don't have IT/Bradley/Smart(players I like) and they don't have cap room and tons of picks going forward. And MN does make Boston seem warm....
Carry on.
