Awful


Uhm I see no plan man.. Nothing. Nada.

Every GM has lost a player for free so ALL YOU GM'S OUT THERE SUCK.



Danny lost ALL ability to maneuver within the cap when he lost not one but two max guys already on the roster for nothing.

Especially with jaylen brown new contract this is going to be an impossible thing to overcome.

I dont have a plan to fix what Danny broke. And I'm not being paid millions of dollars to figure it out either.


You have a weird definition of broken. What about the computer I am typing on—is that broken? The window that is keeping the cold outside from coming inside—is that broken? I can keep listing things that aren't actually broken but I will stop because it's almost 3 and there is more hysterics to get to.

The reverse it who are you moving Hayward or Tatum? Maybe Smart? I would assume Walker isn't going anywhere and Brown can't be traded. So who are you moving in this blockbuster trade?


I agree with what hes saying but the awful take part is that the position Danny is in is because of Danny.

Hes left him self with no room to fix this squad and honestly that's bs because they have a good squad who should be a piece a way from legitimately contending in the east.

So it's a good squad but he needs to fix it because it's not good enough to contend but he can't because he put himself in this position?

We're top 5 in almost every metric. We lost Kyrie because he's a diva. We lost Al because he wanted too much money and left because of Kyrie. We lost Hayward because of a freak injury. Yet we're almost the youngest team in the NBA rocking a 35-15 record still having picks and you have the balls to question the GM? Be a fan of any of the other 25 bad run teams out there or shut up man.


I have to shut up because I sont agree with what you are saying.

I'll move on from having conversations with you my friend.

We're facing the loaded Clippers with ex-Celtics and almost-Celtics next Thursday. Let's destroy them.

The sad fact is a lot of posters don't actually want the team to compete, they want some ideal where we make endless trades until one magical year where we have the top 10 picks in the draft and infinite cap space.

Im against trades that dont move the needle when the team is strong and has good chemistry, but am excited about talking myself into whomever should the need arise. It'll take like 3 minutes tops.

You all realize that if Trump gets voted out in November it will span 2 presidential administrations since Danny Ainge has made a deadline deal.

As long as the deal is agreed upon and submitted before 3 then it can still be announced later, right?

If we get bounced in the 2nd round without Bertans, Bertans wasn't winning us the Finals.


I.E. critical analysis.


Losing Horford for nothing was the issue. Not given him 3 extra years.

Sont put sugar on **** cause its still ****.

Wait a minute. How would you have handled the Horford situation differently? Seriously?

- Traded him before he became an FA? To who?
- Matched the contract Philly offered him? Blech.

Propose an alternative. What's your plan? Saying we would have done "something" is not critical analysis.


Danny had already gone on record and said he should of made trades last year.

It's not a **** surprise that Horford and the Sixers are having the same issues we had last year

Both russel and wiggins traded today.

Horford and Irving would of been easy guys to move last year and you know it

We were really close to a few things, but I really like our team and where we're at. ;)
