Well we lost Irving so if that's the benchmark for you then I guess were ugly now.

Thing is...Irving is overrated. He wasn't a winner before Lebron got to Cleveland, and he did half of what IT did in the same amount of time, but is supposedly a superstar. Dudes got fancy handles and can shoot....but from what I saw hes not a winner.

Losing Irving for nothing instead of trading him to the nets at the deadline all because Danny gambled that he could talk.him into staying while making the same potential mistake for Davis is literally nuceular war stuff. It debilitates a franchise for years.

So no, my bench mark is a bit more than that
No your benchmark is based on hindsight.

In the moment you make those gambles 10 out of 10 times

Toronto gambled with Kawhi and look where they are now.

If you dont take a shot what's the point

They can wait for July or if it’s a nuclear option they can still take the lakers deal. The lakers deal beats the Celtics deal if it doesn’t include Tatum. Browns value is so overrated here


Darius Garland is a better trade headliner than Jaylen Brown?


No but Ingram is and you can still prob flip 4 somewhere else

WTF is this “Oh, Ainge has failed!” Boo ******* hoo! How many teams have won titles in the past 60 years? Now think about how many have never won. Ainge has brought the Celtics back from the dead of the 90s while other teams like NY, BKL, CHA, CHI, PHO, PHI, MIL, OKC, ORL, MINN, IND, SAC, MEM, LAC, etc haven’t won squat ever or since the mid 90s. Be careful what you wish for.

My God this forum is going to be brutal this offseason. Yes we lost Kyrie and most likely missing out on AD (is it really missing out if the player doesn’t want to be here?) but we still have young tradeable assets. Danny will find a way to give Brad a competitive team.

Who knows maybe he’ll even find players that...I don’t know.....actually want to be here.

I would agree Ingram is on par with Brown, if he didn't have a major health issue. I have not read anything regarding Ingram being cleared.

I really can't fault Danny for what he built. On paper putting a (mess)load of versatile wings on the same team was going to be the wave of the future and the perfect build for Brads offense and defense. And individually they were mostly all billed as better shooters than they showed this year. But where Danny is typically strong in gauging character and personality, that was left up to assumption and it is what burned us. Doubt he makes that mistake again. It is true, the talent is still there to work with on the roster but you need to get a better fit of players. Brads offense isn't great but it can work with players who aren't selfish ***holes. People talking so much about Irving but i'd love to see what a team centered around Horford/AD looks like

Missed a few pages. Gone for an hour and you savages pump up extra few pages. Is AD a Celtic ?

Ingram is above brown and I’m not even high on Ingram like that....regardless we can go back and forth but at the end of the day if there’s a Celtics deal it will have Tatum in it bottom line and I’m extremely confident in that.

Ainge shouldn't be called a failure, but he's also not infallible as some suggest. Unless he can somehow get something from BKN, Kyrie was a big miss.

really disheartening to read that horford wants nothing to do with kyrie. i mean if horford doesn’t like you, odds are you’re a dick. weird though because i thought they had pretty good chemistry on the court. i mean they were probably the only 2 on the team with any chemistry.

Danny knew Irving was gone. He did nothing about it. It's all on him for not getting compensation. In fact, theres zero excuse for it and he deserves a good summer of roasting.

Yea, what I actually said was if he trades his treasure chest of assets on Davis and Davis pulls the same stunt literally a year after Irving then it sets them back years.

But hey, LETS CHANCE IT BECAUSE HES A TOP 5 PLAYER GAWDDDDD

Kyrie signing with the Celtics would have set them back 10 years

Bull. That's a strawman. No one makes the perfect move every time. The question is who could we pick up as a better GM?

No idea how a guy with blood clot issues is above Brown, but fair enough.
