Love or Griffin please. Or a Celtics package of young players/picks.


The whole point of getting rid of Melo is to acquire young talent and/or picks. Love and Griffin aren't young, and they sure as hell will ruin your draft position. You're missing the point of a rebuild. 2-3 (sometimes longer...) years of awful basketball to acquire young assets is EXACTLY what a rebuild is...

Imagine all we left with is KP and Rose and go on a run and we sign Rose to an extension.

rose doesn't even try defensively I think Rivers has more pried. He's his daddy's son. Doc played d and rivers at least tries to defend....nothing can be said about that punk azz bitch rose.

Rivers plays defense and can play the 2.

His daddy isn't here to give him the green light

Y'all act like we got a choice. The dude wants out. We'll get what we can to move on.

What's sad is that Simmons not playing is probably better than Rose actually playing :eek2:

Indy might do that. If they would we should absolutely pull the trigger

If Phil pulls this off, would you say he's been decent as GM?


I would give him credit for the move, but he would have to do more for me to call his tenure as GM decent.
