Not going to go into the reasons, we just did wrong by him.

I'll guess he had his 30m option and talked to danny. He asked if he opted out if we'd give him 4 year 25 m a year and said yes.

He opted out and we offered 3/60 to start and he said f off.

I guess the whole Rozier vs. Portis draft pick choice controversy is completely over now.

Wow that is a good deal for Portis. Did not want him though after he punched his own team mate.

I better wake up and see a damn power forward and center on our team not kanter or looney both are brittle and would be a waste here. However saying that that I also feel like monroe is likely again at mid season because we do indeed sign these brittle bastards and need a big.

It'd be stunning if either of those players signed anywhere for the vet min. So what if you can't 'call it a day'?

Not going to go into the reasons, we just did wrong by him.

We kinda pulled the rug underneath him with the IT trade, lack of trades of the young guys to balance to roster, blames management for Kyrie not working, etc


I don't think anyone expected the 2nd year of Kyrie to unfold the way it did, from what I heard year 1 was fine and everyone knew the end game (Kyrie/Horford/Hayward/AD)...by year 2 Kyrie changed and while Horford put up with Kyrie's crap all year and he didn't want to play with him again his time was over.
Even after knowing Kyrie was going I don't think he saw the avenue for a chance at a championship and then we told him to take a paycut even though he's been our best player the last 3 years....

The waiting, hoarding, and not making moves to wait for AD definitely soured a lot of guys on the team the last few years.

Lovvelllllyyy.

I’m like the biggest IT fan but not sure I get how that’s pulling the rug from underneath him especially considering IT is clearly not the same anymore.

I get not balancing the roster, though. That drove me mad. Ainge was way too into getting AD that he ignored every locker room problem. Blew up in his face. He’s rebounding nicely right now, but I for once want Ainge to learn a lesson about team chemistry now that he has two examples (2011 with Perk and 2019 with the overall team).

He overvalues himself and so does the rest of the NBA, I'm fine without paying him
