The sooner we accept ain't **** happening we can move on with life.

Always the draft thread.

Nah, only cuz his contract is even MORE prohibitive to making other moves. And he may or may not add more on the floor over the next 2 years. So tough to tell with the knees on both sides. If both healthy, yeah, Wall's much better. But, I don't think you can count on either of them, so stay with the "cheaper" guy.

At least Wall looks to pass...

John Wall is **** terrible. You want to trade a first and a better player for him? Cmon.

Lol. You're counting on that?

I think he's joking. Or we just found Danny's account

I would just quit following the Celtics if this is Ainge's big move.

I'm over it. I can't wait for the trade deadline either way. Trade is no trade. I just need it to pass lol so I can stop wasting time thinking about it.

Wes-J · Post #1810 » by **Wes-J** » Thu Mar 18, 2021 8:08 pm

I honestly think as the years have gone by Ainge has fallen in love with the draft and young players. Still intoxicated by the allure of more potential stars. No more trader Danny.

Translation: he secretly wants to NOT trade and draft in the lottery again.

Wall is a little better, but his defense has been even worse than Kemba's this year

I'd take Olynyk in a second. He could show the rest of the roster how to only take layups and threes. Thompson for Olynyk, make it happen.

That would be funny, actually. But not Ainge's style.

I know most wont agree but Meyers Leonard would have been a nice piece to get. Dude had very underrated skills and need the right team.

Wall is light years better than Kemba and a swap would make us a lot better instantly.
