Trade Thread #7: The Tide is Turning, but still Myles to go

[Ben-N1ce]

Semi could make an All star leap this year so no worries.

Gordon Hayward wanted out of Boston. Charlotte really Hayward. He definitely wanted to leave the Celtics. Probably has to do with the players, change of scenery, the media, fans Etc

Gordon wanted to go to the Pacers. When Charlotte turned up with their offer, it proved too good a deal to pass up, trumping returning to Indiana. Simple as that.

That is the sum of it. There was no S&T for Ainge to make with the Pacers with this Charlotte offer out there. Hayward was waiting to see if Indy would up their offer and they did not.

So then Ainge was dumb to agree to a extension. Also he wasn’t prepared for it. Either way this team is worse off with no way to replace his production.

[darrendaye]

I'll wait a bit to see what may or may not come via S&T. But in any event, Ainge mishandled this situation. The Memphis trade looks worse considering the team could use another option on the roster that might be a sharpshooter.

Can we at least wait and see what we are getting back before the melt down?

Please respect the right of people to express their frustration. This is their time to shine. When the the team finishes rounding up the roster, they'll stop posting.

How belittling. We are not worthy.

Yeah when you don't understand how this works you really aren't tbh

So....Boston would get the terrible Horford contract back. Why would this idea even be proposed?

[BigTrade92]

When our clown gm stops making the same mistakes.

You give hayward his 120 mil, come July it's already down to 90 and 3 years which in this nba is nothing

Horrible. Disgusting. Undefendable.

Dude you're **** INSANE if you think we should have given Hayward that contract. I guess I need to put you on my list of posters to never take seriously.

Note to Karalis and others:

Hayward did not have the final say in going to Charlotte, as they don't have enough cap space. They need help, and Ainge is going to comply. That's the frustration here. This isn't a team that had cash and just swooped in a grabbed Hayward and Hayward signed there freely as a FA. It can't go down like that.

Yup. It is incredible how people on here fail to grasp that.

Ainge bungled this no matter how hard his media cronies and the holy Ainge ball washing disciples try to downplay it.

[GoGreen]

John Karalis is an idiot. I'm sorry but he is ultimate footy pajama green glasses green koolaide Celtics man. Dude can't see straight when it comes to the Cs.

Apparently we did not have the infamous "leverage" as it turns out.

[Patsfan1081]

With the way everyone here seems to be cool with Danny you’d think that be the case.

[HondoFave]

I am not an increase income taxes kind of guy but I really hope they raise the top rate to 50%. What these athletes are making is out of control.

[rob4748]

Heeyyyyyy don't worry guysssssss. Timelord is taking the next step this yeeaaaarrr!

[sully00]

Unless you're willing to debate this from the perspective that danny **** this up horribly by losing a max contract cap hold for nothing then there's no point in doing this.

We can't have a fourth max. Never could. Only way Hayward or anyone else stayed was huge discount to 20m max next year. We trade Hayward for a 4year near max deal we ****. What teams have four max pay slots?

We lost the moment hayward opted out. It's that simple.

Sure but what could Ainge do about it? Try to get him to opt and extend, he did that. Offer him an extension he did that at way too much money. Try to create S&T Ainge did that with IND. Now regroup and see if you can get a deal done with CHA. Or back away and see if CHA can actually free up the cap space.

We don't want anything from Charlotte so there's that.

[Celtics_Champs]

Ainge gonna go on tilt and trade for Harden halfway through the season.

[SuperDeluxe]

We don’t know what went on behind the scenes. That’s why I’m not saying fire Ainge.

I hope to see you here in three weeks to discuss. Meanwhile, I invite you to participate here (I doubt you will): viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2019003

Which member of the Hornets would stop the meltdown, lol

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

I know people love to jump all over Ainge for this, but think there's plenty of blame to go around: Ainge, Pritchard, and Hayward all made decisions that lead to this, a scenario none of the 3 really wanted.

Ainge was the one being ridiculous though. Just take Turner and McBuckets

Bingo. I know AInge will come on the radio and say "we were never close" and all that but I think this deal gets done if Ainge does not ask for Oladipo or Warren. Not only that this is the third year in a row that this team lost a big FA.

On top of that this team has has like 20 picks the last 4 drafts and he has just hit on Brown, Tatum and Smart. It is absurd how many wasted picks Ainge has had. This tea

Make all the excuses you want for Ainge but at some point, whether it is all his fault or not, it is time to move on from him.

[themoneyteam2]

People are mad at Ainge that Hayward decided to go with the biggest offer instead of going to his hometown team. The sign and trade to Indy only worked if both Indy and Gordon were sold on it happening. There was no deal sign and trade deal with Indy when Hayward took the bag in Charlotte.

It's actually pretty simple. Not hard at all to understand quite frankly.
