Such a pile-on - the reason no one wants this deal to happen is because they know Boston would be a boring-ass Golden State-style dynasty for the next six years.

We betrayed IT? How many teams offered him a contract this summer? He signed with the Nuggets for the vet minimum and he doesn't even play. Not one of thirty teams gave him the MLE, not one would give him a max contract, not one would give him half a max contract.

The reason everyone's piling on Boston is that we briefed the Cavs' rookie GM on IT's health and then moved him, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and a mid-lottery pick for a much better player. No team in the league wants to get fleeced like that - and it's nerve-wracking because it didn't look like a fleecing at the time.

Still not healthy

I don't get it. Were the C's expected to keep IT just to be nice and give him a lot of money just to be nice?
This smells like a Lebron smear campaign since he is the one who got IT in return for Kyrie and he was pissed from the get go.

Looks Ike a coordinated attempt to turn Boston off.

I think they are desperate of getting AD to La this season, and not wasting a year of lebron. That’s why they want to scare boston of trying to deal in the off season. They feel they could compete now with AD and lebron. At least its getting clear for us. Best we should move on. We have tons of assets to look forward to. Lets hope ainge is smart about this.

Lebron always needed one or two all star HOF level players around him to hope to win a title.

That’s the name of the game today. The more star power the better. can’t blame him though, look at the warriors, b2b finals and they still got KD. Lebron knows he’s on the decline, he doesn’t have the luxury of time.

Sunday's headline:

Anthony Davis' high school coach does not want AD to play in Boston, because of how they traded 1984 Finals MVP, Cedric Maxwell, for white boy, Bill Walton. NO LOYALTY! RACISM!!

We don’t owe IT anything. If any, IT was expecting a huge payday and we dodged a bullet. imagine paying him the max, and he’s out for the season?

Love Danny.. But this is a bit too big a hole for even him. Even Davis himself mentioned the IT situation several times.

What hole? What are you talking about?

If Kyrie re-signs and we win a title or go the finals, there's not much of a hole, let's face it.

We're trying to win. Scared money don't make money. Go for it.

The same player who demanded a trade while under contract? He should probably top talking

Next thing AD’s dad, Lebron, and rich Paul are going to bring up is some fake story how somebody in Boston said something racist towards AD before.

They traded him to a championship contender - who traded him to the Lakers - where even being banged up he put up some decent per-minute stats. And he still didn't get a contract.

If they are trying to get Davis to LA - and it's possible Kyrie's comments were frustration spilling over about Klutch-brand rumors - this is a sustained media blitz and power play. The timing of the trade request, the rumors about LA and New York, and the Davis Sr. blast... they're huffing and puffing.

don't talk about loyalty when your son is looking to leave the place he's contracted to play for.

Hole in regards to us landing AD. Danny is ballsy, but no way he pulls the trigger if AD feels the same as his dad. These comments are being placed in the media for a reason. Him and his camp reallllyyyyyyyy don’t want Boston.
