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

[SMTBSI]

You can blame Mike Zarren, Kevin Pritchard, Gordon Hayward, The Boston Media, Michael Jordan, The Hornets for making that ridiculous offer, Robyn Hayward, The makers of League of Legends etc...but just don't blame Danny Ainge for Hayward leaving for nothing because its not his fault! Its everyone elses!

This.

Ainge is become like the basketball GM version of Trump.

He could cut Tatum right now and he wouldn’t lose their confidence.

You're not really interested in a conversation, are you? You just want to assign thoughts to others and disparage them based on those assignments.

Ainge does not have this dedicated squad of hyper fans you are imagining. There's way more nuance than that.


Anyway, we know who's fault this all really was: ↓

I was pretty busy today but WTF guys.......

[rd26]

You can't bring your self to say that losing hayward for nothing is nothing short of a huge mistake.

Which means you're not really interested in playing with facts.

Drafting Yabusele was a mistake. Signing Hassan Whiteside would be a mistake.

Losing Hayward was part of the game. Trading him last year would have been a mistake because we actually had a punchers chance at a title if he was healthy (100% would have made the finals at least) and once you're past that point it's no longer in your hands to keep him.

Out of all the players Danny lost, Rozier was the only one we should have traded before he had the chance to leave.

Bingo

Reasonable case to be had on Kyrie also, but AD made that one iffy

Highly doubt it but go off king! Slight difference between losing your best player by far and not paying a 30 yr a 4 yr $120 million deal.

But I'm sure you knew that...

You’re proving my point.

You couldn’t even read past an over-the-top hypothetical regarding Ainge without getting all hot and bothered about the validity of the said hypothetical.

Not to mention that not a single solitary soul on this board or across the globe is advocating that Ainge should've signed Hayward for that money. That’s literally not even close to the issue here. Why you would even use that as a counterpoint is mind boggling.

[Darth Celtic]

Bringing up Horford literally proves our **** point

I am tapping out

I've lost so many brain cells reading this thread today lol. It's the same 5 or 6 guys who agree with each other and were doing this same **** last summer when Horford signed with Philly lol.

Apparently the Sixers and Heat are now "demonstrably better" than the Celtics.

And it's the same 5.or 6 guys saying ainge is the next coming who didn't totally **** up his roster

Get over it man. Move on. Ainge is who we thought he was.

back your arguement up. Take the sig bet that I used to call you out on the stupid take that come April, he'd be gone because he is so bad. I think it's more likely that Jordon is is in hot water trying to trade Hayward away with a first

I don't get how not signing Hayward to that deal is totally **** up his roster. Can you explain that one to me? Cause you would be destroying him if they signed Hayward to that max deal lol.

I already said losing him for nothing sucks but I'd rather not be in the repeater tax, no full MLE to use, and no flexibility next summer to create a max spot than have Myles Turner and McDermott. Doesn't matter anyways since Hayward chose CHA so that's irrelevant.

Lost.him for nothing.

Green teamers can't see it but that's just lol.

Idk if you know this, but losing guys for nothing is usually how free agency works. Utah lost him for nothing. We lost Ray for nothing. Cleveland lost LeBron for nothing. Miami lost LeBron for nothing. Clippers lost Harrell for nothing. You see how it works? It's very simple.

I can't even with you right now.

You people.too busy being snark looking for the quick clap back and1 it disgust me.

I'm aware how free agency works.

Are you aware how not fielding a championship team typically cost you your job?

The red Sox have had not 1, not 2 but THREE gms win the same amount of championships as danny and that bought them zero amount of security.

And that's how it works.

I miss last year when the Celtics beat the Heat easily to make the finals....


Oh wait

Repeater tax is inevitable. Wyc and danny both said it wasn't an issue.

I am NOT upset we don't have hayward. I'm upset that danny coulsnt find a way to use him to fill out his very depleted roster.

Hey anyone remember when Ainge compared LeBron to Trump? I wonder if that has any effect on his perception around the league.

[themoneyteam2]

Gotcha so basically you're crying because Hayward chose the extra $20 million in Charlotte and therefore we couldn't take on the Turner and McDermott contracts which would have put us in repeater tax and leave us with no flexibility to create a max spot next summer?

[SLCceltic]

We are all desperate, but Whiteside ???

I need some alcohol

Look at the Celtics bigs. He would easily start on this team.

Theis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Whiteside

Even Timelord is better than Whiteside...and I'm far from a Rob Williams fan.

in 31mins per game this season
16/14/3blocks
31 years old now so hopefully has matured .... not a ton of interest in him bc of attitude, maybe light has finally turned on. I would roll dice for mle

maybe then make a trade for redick or drose ... or sign Korver outright

we need a Big and another bench scorer

Max spot next summer is pointless. No one is coming here anyways.

[MaxwellSmart]

I'm not worried...let the young guys play...exactly the type of team where Stevens excels....2nd round exit.

[SmartWentCrazy]

I dont know of anyones said it, but hindsight being 20-20, we shouldnt have punted Kanter and Poirier so soon. Woulda been nice to have 7.7M in tradeable salary right now.

[K For Three]

I was pretty busy today but WTF guys.......

When did Charlotte jump into the conversation anyway?

[Celts17Pride]

Don’t mind losing Gordon Hayward.

The big problem is the Celtics don’t have many avenues to get better. That means it’s Tatum/Brown and Kemba. If one of them gets hurt it’s over.

Ainge has to find a way to add quality depth. Good Luck!

So because the Heat beat the Celtics last year that means they are "demonstrably better"?

I'm not sure what your argument is lol.
