If Embiid is down low, and Harris at the 4, damn right Curry is a much better fit for Philly


If they are hanging on to Simmons, they need to go all out on shooting, which this does.

Theo, Seth Curry... got rid of Horford so they can actually play Tobias where he thrives at PF.

Morey may actually be the best GM in the league. Presti is great too but holy ****. What an impact.

I hate that they know what they're doing now.


Morey is a great GM but IDK If these moves are the strokes of genius that you're making them out to be.

Take a spin through the general trades & transactions board. Attach asset(s) to Horford for a smaller contract who fits better was posted everyday. There are probably no less than 100,000 Richardson for Curry threads. These were kind of "no duh" moves made so far. Whether Morey was there or not even Brand would have been smart enough to do these himself. Dumbasses like us on Internet forums thought of these deals too haha

Brand wasn't even smart enough to not give Horford 100 million, you think he'd be able to trade him for a better player?

Yo, when was Daryl Morey's last championship? It's funny because I read lots of people riding his jock.


Are u implying that he’s not a good gm? Lol. Ainge only has 1 ring in 17 years....rings are a great barometer for players not management. We both know ainge is a very good gm and so is Morey.


One ring with two finals appearances in 17 years in a WEAKER conference... He has hit on some , like Brown and Tatum, but his misses have been brutal (Olynk over Giannis, Fab Melo over Draymond) and his lack of moves to help the team in-season have just been a killer.

Point them out to me. The bolded. Names of posters who defend everything Ainge does and are happy not winning.

But hey, if you are happy with a second round exit for years to come, good for you!

Conversations go downhill quick when you get to tell the other person what they think, instead of asking them.


If you just hop into any game thread during the regular season. They're the ones saying people aren't fans because they're not happy when we're down 20 or we dare to mention one of our players who are playing like ****.
And I see in GTs 10x as many "realists" clowning on the optimists than vice versa. Why is your perspective the correct one?

They claim you can't be a fan unless you have no thought in your head but cheerleader songs. They're easy to find and there are many.

So name them. Name the posters who do not brook any disagreement whatsoever.

We all need to accept a few truths here.

We have to reduce the expectations as fans down from Championships, to competitive ECF.

Danny Ainge isn't this GN Wizards.

We are sort of a treadmill team right now who's entire Championship hope lies essentially on Jaylen and Jayson becoming top 15 players. While also hoping the league mvps don't continue to team up.


It's a simple trutg. The Boston Celtics are NOT a Championship organization who makes Championship Calibur decisions as of right now.

He IS TJ McConnell, just a slight worse passer and shoots it more often.

In other words, we lit a pick on fire, because Wanamaker is a no-doubt better player.

Maybe on some teams, but Curry is the second best shooter in the league. They don't care that he's not as good of a playmaker as Richardson because he's going to shoot 45% from 3.

He plays nothing like TJ lol. McConnell couldn't shoot at all whereas Pritchard is one of the best shooters in the draft and was PAC-12 POY.

Just admit you haven't watched him it's fine. No need to pretend.
