Anthony Davis Trade Thread Shimmies to #8

[The Corey's]

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

What a drama queen

A personal attack and for what? Because you disagree with me. Like I said, its gonna get heated in here when Danny **** it up not once but twice in two summers.

From the Article

Before going out to say the same during his last press conference, Stevens told his players that he did a bad job.

“Kyrie said, No you didn’t, coach,” recalled Grousbeck, who prefers not to discuss his view on Irving and whatever the all-star guard is thinking. Asked if he has directly asked Irving to come back, the Celtics co-owner said, “I haven’t talked to Kyrie in those terms, and our two free agent negotiators are Brad and Danny (Ainge). But Kyrie knows how we feel about him, that we feel very positive about him, and the discussions will go on over the next few weeks.”

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.

So losing Irving for nothing and turning around and trading a good core of your assets for Davis who hypoterhically does exactly what his agent promises hes gonna do is fine by you?

Let's be thankful you aren't running the team then.

[CelticFaninLBC]

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.

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?

Seems his stubbornness got the best of him this time.

[brackdan70]

Some of y’all are embarrassing. Get some equanimity about **** you can’t control.

Cs are going to be ok.

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.

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.

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

Clutch points ....nice. I’ve heard griffin speak glowingly about Ingram on his radio show and on nba tv and in interviews multiple times. There’s no doubt the blood clot is an issue and I won’t underplay it but brown is over rated here.

If Kyrie leaving for nothing sets the Celtics back years then Danny whiffed on more than Kyrie

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

Stop. Hes a top player and infinitely better than Scary "Elite PG" Rozier.

[MaxwellSmart]

Signing Kyrie to a $200 million dollar contract would be a huge mistake...John Wall type of mistake. Especially after this past season, maybe not if we were in the Finals right now.

[GotDaSauce]

Not if they do any scenario where wer over pay for Davis and or lose Irving for nothing and or bring back rozier and Morris.

Could be ugly.

But is Rozier and Morris that much of downgrade from Kyrie and AD? LOL

I'm more focused on their shoot first, second and third mentality. Seen enough of that.

Terry even shoots during Time outs because he cant help himself! Lol Watch game replays and youll see he jacks up shots after the whistle all the time! Terry needs to go!

Well I’m glad you can speak for me, Davis and his agent. Perhaps you should apply for the Cs GM position. According to the all knowing you, it should be available soon. Hope you get it so World Peace can finally be achieved.

Thinking Jaylen brown as a centierpiece gets you AD is close to thinking kuzma is holding up the trade....almost as delusional

Griffin allegedly really wants Kuzma too....

Lebron's mouthpiece, Brian Windhorst, has even acknowledged teams are worried about Ingram's health.

[hondobird]

sometimes the threads get too long and things get lost in there
thus - new thread on Davis but with a different spin (Mods please allow this)

What is the most you'd give up for Davis - without getting a commitment that he will stay with Celtics?

IMO no way you give up any of the 3 younger guys (Brown, Tatum, Smart)

If Hayward is OK with being moved - him, R Williams and picks

That is it.

If Hayward does not want to go - no deal for Davis.
What say you all?

Ok man I’ll wait for the Jaylen brown centerpiece AD....come on. Seriously get real here. No disrespect but they didn’t wait for Jaylen brown

[CelticFaninLBC]

Apparently, Darius Garland, Cam Reddish(Lonzo ain't playing in NO), Kuzma and a guy with blood clots issues is a sweet deal...

Who said anything about Rozier? Kyrie is a cancer. Celtics fortunate he is leaving

Lol this is true but I kind of like that quality about him. Part of me doesn’t mind giving Terry a shot at the reigns but I am pretty sure we can do better.

It’s just has to be the better than our deal....flipping 4 or lonzo gets pels something else. Do u really think ainge hasn’t tried to send brown smart Williams and every pick already to the pels?

No you can just use pretty much common sense and reasonable deduction to see that
