Collins probably makes more sense than Barnes because the Celtics could avoid the tax this year. I mean $25 million of Collins vs $22 million of Barnes. Collins is younger. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ainge is making a major push for Collins
Or if Collins leaves in FA to a capped out team, maybe they'd send back a good enough player that we'd be happy to use the TPE that way.
Yeah, right ...

maybe we just dreamed up some guy who would fit into the TPE, on a decreasing deal, on a team that's lost 11 games in a row, just as some sort of like group hallucination

Of course but if he can't fix his mess he should step aside no? Miami just made the finals over us. We're tied with the Knicks. Rozier and Hayward killing it. Where's the pride. Where's the change. Where's the effort.
What mess? We've got one of the best young cores in the league and they've already got a ton of playoff experience. This season has been all over the place but as far as I know Ainge didn't cause covid which completely killed the off-season and he didn't injure anyone on the team keeping our expected team from playing together. Other than a couple teams at the top and a couple at the bottom the whole league is all over the map right now.
Well another poster used mess and I ran with it. Your points are all valid of course but doesn't it seem like Ainge is scrambling, reacting to the product he built rather than leading, creating a contender. Ainge should admit it and pivot

Fans will be back in the Garden in 13 days.
If Celts continue to lose, Celtic fans will eventually lose interest and there will be a lot of empty seats at the Garden.

hate to be a prick but that's a horrible deal for Toronto & Orlando & an AMAZING deal for Boston. Let's get real here.

Yep. Definitely an offseason thing, makes WAY more sense

Fair enough, though he has admitted they aren't title ready as constituted. As for Ainge "scrambling" he, per usual, is linked to pretty much every name out there, whether anything happens now or in the off season he's not sitting on his hands. Fans are desperate for a move and Ainge isn't (rightly so) so he's going to take some criticism but no matter what he does he's taking criticism, this is Boston. I'm just glad a bunch of dumb ass impatient fans aren't in charge, we'd be Billy Kingin this thing to ****.

Again it depends on the deal. If Ainge gets a great offer for Kemba and refuses he should be fired.

There’s a part of that sentence that won’t happen right now- great deal for kemba. Possibly ever again but definitely not now
