Yeah, judge me all you want, guys. But I'm not a bit happy with this deadline and the team being comfortable with being a 2nd round team. Other Eastern teams got better and we just stayed the same. I'm done for this. Let's see what will happen, but I won't lie, I don't have high hopes for this season.

Imagine feeling this, after watching the team this year.
I'm happy that we're good, but we're not championship level good, understand what I mean?

I am ok with no trades. We can always trade our picks for future picks on the draft night and there is going to be buyout market.

I think they'll consolidate picks (as part of a deal for a player) or punt them down the road. I don't think we're going down the same path this summer.


They wont be able to punt the Mil pick.


Sorry - my post was incomplete. They may also package up some of the young guys on the roster, which would open space for a new rookie to come in. But either way, I think this team is going to get older this summer.
The most charitable interpretation is that it's ethnic cleansing and massive war crimes.

I'm saving my freak out for draft night. I know it's not happening, but I'm clinging to the consolidation trade hope til then.

Once we do nothing and have to pick them all, or trade the MIL pick for a future protected first that turns into 2 seconds. Then I freak out. I'm practicing tantric Ainge rage.

This never bothers me as much as it does others. You have to choose between waiving RJ Hunter and James Young and I don't care about that. I'd rather have more swings or more trade currency when we don't have that championship roster.


Its weird to pull the trade currency angle when people are upset that Ainge hasnt used them as trade currency IMO

Green is the guy who gets cut. Does Edwards have an option to decline in 2020?

Reports were we wouldn't waive anyone for Burks or GRIII so why would we do it now?


We wouldn’t waive guaranteed contracts In 2020-21. Gotta believe we would move Green for Tristan.

Ainge makes no sense. We needed to get older and some shooting.

Miami has really loaded up on wing/SF/forward depth. Nobody else in the league can match us on quality/quantity combined, but they're probably with or even ahead of us on sheer quantity of competent players in that range.

Now it's time for "Boston is interested in Tristan Thompson if he gets bought out by Cleveland", even if we all know there's no chance he comes to Boston.

Ainge certainly knows how to play the fans lol

Cool. Later.

For the record, that was not me, just in case you lost track of the thread.

Please :pray:



Dude is a Klutch client. No F'n way Lebron's puppet Rich Paul lets him sign with us. Ainge really needs to get off it with this pick hoarding bull. Wth are we going to do with 3 more rookies. Our bench is gonna be Langford, Rob Will, Grant Will, Carson, and 3 rookies???? This **** is negligence of the highest order with regards to team building


Actually Boston is as far away as you can send a guy from LA. Thompson isn't going to get many mins in LAL the Clippers are a better option. But from a "we need to get Tristan paid next year" perspective there probably is no place better to send him then Boston. The other teams in the East are stacked in the front court.

Overrated acquisitions. Igudala is old, and on a decline. Crowder is irrelevant.

Glad they didn’t get gallinari.

Way too much heat talk. They don’t have the talent of Boston, Philly, Toronto. They just have a great coach who is getting more out of the players than a regular coach. Clips gonna be a problem.

I'm aware and I apologize to you if you truly found that to be out of bounds but comparatively speaking I didnt find it as offensive as the guy who told me to shut up if I didnt like what ainge was doing.

No issues with you. Sorry my man.

We are allowed to make trades in the summer also you know.


Personally I'm cool. Bertans is a 15+ million guy next year..not sure we need that on a team that already has a 25 and two 30+ million contracts with JT's big max coming up. Same deal with Collins. Guys like Markieff, IT and Rose might cause the same problems that we had last year with Mook and Terry.


Lol, every year we clamor to trade up in the draft and Ainge has never done it.


Up, down, out. Whatever it is..it can still be done at a later time if that's what you are really worried about..

Danny likes being 28th in the league in 3pt scoring, I guess.
