Can you imagine being a player knowing your days on a specific team are numbered? That's gotta be rough

It's sad man. I wish we would never have to trade Jayson. I really grow an affection for guys we draft :lol: Even more so if they're half decent.


Might not have to. Actually, you shouldn’t have to.

Is it time to trade him before it goes to his head?

God, the media is freaking embarrassing. And I don't just mean this whole AD situation, but the way they present everything is freaking pathetic, and that is because society is a bunch of brainless minions who will just listen, believe and run with what they hear. Same goes with politics and any other news.

Because they're getting traded?
Obviously, I just mean that does this mean they're thinking they're getting traded by the deadline?

I doubt they'd remove it from their profile otherwise. But what do I know?

This is so obnoxious. It's like all the guys on the Celtics broadcast are about to blow their load. Talk about emasculating.

I would offer Jabari Bird, a bag of potato chips, and a banana peel for Drummond.

Don’t overpay. You can fuel a silver delorean Mr. Furion with two of those three things.

Drummond blows. I don't care if he sometimes kills the Celtics. He blows. His contract blows.

Some good info in here...particularly these tidbits:

Most everyone I’ve spoken to around the Celts and the All-Star guard has held out the caveat that unforeseen events could alter his course, but they have heard nothing from Irving to indicate he plans to do anything other than opt out of the final year of his contract this summer and sign a longer and richer pact with the local professional basketball company.


But it’s important to note here that while the Celtics would have no guarantee that Davis would remain in the fold after next season should they be able to land him, the club was more than willing to go hard after a Paul George trade at the 2017 trade deadline and into the ensuing offseason without knowing if he’d stay in 2018. (The Thunder took that shot and were rewarded when he decided to remain on a four-year deal.)

According to Pacer sources then and league sources now, Danny Ainge’s affection for longer shots didn’t evaporate when he stopped playing. And he has stated to his NBA peers a confidence that any player with Boston doubts will be won over once he gets here and sees the roster, coaches and organization. Such certainly was the case with Kevin Garnett.

Ainge is not gonna be deterred by such things as impending free agency and threats to leave after just one season.

Not totally unrelated, here's a photo of a random man beside Danny's left nut.

Tatum doesn't strike me as a super-entitled guy. He worked to be a super-high draft pick, which normally means you get a lot of money but have to play on a questionable team early in your career. He got something even better than that. But if his situation reverts to the more common case, I doubt he'll be inappropriately bitter about it.

Porzingis, top 3 pick and Hardaway Jr. is better than what LA can offer. They have a legit shot of having AD, KD and Kyrie next year.

but one source very close to the situation laughed and suggested that sowing doubt regarding Irving is in the best interest of others who are, of course, free to pursue their agendas.

He is a perennial MVP candidate and significantly better than Kyrie. And I love Kyrie.

If Ainge can pull this off, Tatum is 100% gone. Everyone has to come to terms with that now. The only hope is we are able to keep at least one of Smart or Brown; if we can keep both, Ainge is a miracle-worker. That will largely depend on what the lottery gives the Knicks and Kings.


No he isn't. MVP players get out of the first round of the playoffs, not barely getting in.


Same **** we heard from people who didn't want to trade for KG.


KG took Sprewell, Cassell, and Wally Sczerbiak to the Western Conference Finals.
