We’ve already had one rental diva that accomplished something, why bet the farm on one who can’t manage his way out of the second round?

This is a win for the Celtics, no matter how much you want to convince yourself otherwise.


It's a major L.

Ainge BOTCHED it horribly.

Sure they could. I'd rather have Mitchell Robinson than Ball or Ingram. And the #3 pick is better than the #4. Plus the Knicks have the Mavs picks to offer.

My guess is that the Knicks either decided not to make a trade for AD or they just weren't willing to offer more.
I still like the Knicks offer more too. Still a decent haul if number 4 pans out (Bol Bol?) but Barrett would have been a stud. Mitch Robinson dumb underrated.

Assuming you guys meant to quote someone else?

Also agree knicks offer was better but they probably bowed out after kD went down

RealGM when AD trade first reported: “Why would New Orleans want the Lakers trash? Lol! Lonzo suck and his dad is a distraction. Ingram is a skinny bitch. Rest is trash. No way NO wants these trash assets.”

RealGM after AD trade or when trade is imminent: “How can they give up so much? LeGM gutting the team.”

Pels didn't get Kuzma so they didn't get whatever they wanted.


That's true

At a dance recital, but saw the tweet...that’s A LOT of picks. Wonder what the details are I them as far as what years and what protections.

How? The Lakers pick value shot up since then.

I'm not convinced the Bobcats are going to go that far into the luxury tax for a team that might not make the playoffs.

The backcourt is really bare bones for LA. I would try and swap Kuzma for a comparable backcourt player.

Yeah, and it will hurt the Lakers even more when he does it as a Clipper, :naaa:


I'm now both a Raptor's fan and Kawhi fan for life... Yes, I'd prefer him to do it on the Raptors, but if he does it on the Clippers there will be no hard feelings and I will still be cheering him on.

Yeah for sure, trading off all the young talent for somebody who hasn’t accomplished jack ****?

He’s going to where he wanted and Lakers had to pay for it.

Sucks to suck.
