Last Train to Celticsville Trade Thread

Interesting best case projection for Bamba would be Tyson Chandler - took him a long time to figure it out, very inconsistent on awful Bulls teams but sometimes put up huge counting stats..

Celtics should have 0.0% interest in Mo Bamba. Let some other team give him a 3-4 years deal for $10-15 million per year next year.

you really think anyone is giving him that?

RW3 just got 4 years and $48 million. Why would Mo Bamba gets something much different than that from someone? Mo Bamba can shoot the 3 ball and his scoring and rebounding is similar to RW3.

Per 36 min.

Bamba 14.5 ppg, 11.8 rpg
RW3 13.6 ppg, 12.0 rpg

Bamba shoots 33% from three point range

I would rather have RW3 but both will get similar contracts in my opinion.

[Celts17Pride]

Desmond Bane

17.6 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2.2 apg shooting 46.7% FG PCT and 41.4% 3PT Pct and 90.6% FT Pct in 29.8 minutes per game.

Moved by Danny Ainge to get rid of Enes Kanter who is back as Enes Freedom.

Epic failure by Danny Ainge!

Maybe, I am not that high on Bamba personally.

Lots of teams missed on Bane, but dealing a FRP to move $5 million of payroll was one of many bad moves made by Ainge in his final few years

Only thing that made me more furious than that was not actively trying to move up for Hali
Drafting Romeo (Wanted Johnson, NAW or Kabengele - bad one there)
Drafting Nesmith (Bey, Hampton, Bane, Anthony)
Drafting Grant (I was wrong)
Not drafting Boston Jr

Not to mention Struss and Matthews balling out. Talent evaluation sucks

[BK_2020]

I'm still seething from Red Auerbach passing on Craig Hodges and Mark Eaton in 1982, and Doc Rivers in 83.
Doc
Ainge
Bird
McHale
Eaton/ Parish
Hodges and Jerome Kersey (another Red miss!!!) round out the bench
We'd have 20 rings right now if it wasn't for Red Auerbach's incompetence.

Langford looks solid for a mid-first. Just needs to stay healthy for a change.

The 2020 draft isn't looking good.

Ainge supposedly didn't try to draft the best players available.
Supposedly Ainge would try to draft players for "fit" and "need", which I personally feel is a huge BLUNDER.
If you end up drafting a guy who's better than a rotation player you simply trade your rotation player, who is a known quantity.
And if you know before the draft that the draft pick is already better than one of your rotation players, than move the rotation player ASAP.

Bamba is getting more of a clue, slowly, but he's past clueless on both sides of the ball to hesitant and slow to react. Anyone paying him is gambling on his upside.

Right now, looks like we should've taken Cole Anthony and Bane (no Pritchard).

[Curmudgeon]

Saddiq Bey dropped 34 on the Bucks last night, with 8 boards, 4 assists and only one turnover.

Meh, he's shooting 33% from 3. I guess he's better than Nesmith, which isn't saying much.

Iirc Nesmith was considered the best shooter in the draft and has good size, so can't criticize Ainge too much on Nesmith at 14. No idea why they took PP at 26 though. Terrible pick.

Or sarcasm

[jfs1000d]

bane is killing me.

You don't give up on shooting. Ainge missed there. bane, Nesmith and Pritchard was our draft. We traded bane. Bane is the best of the bunch. That hurts. It really does.

[Bohemian]

Man, are people going to be talking about Bane and how we didn´t draft him until he finishes his career?

Yes, it was a mistake by Ainge.
Yes, GMs make mistakes all around the league and he did many (as will Brad).

It´s part of the business. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they don´t. Jeez, it is not so tough to understand that it´s not science. Plus, it is useless to go back in time everyday to try to change something that can´t be changed. If you make a mistake, you try and learn from it and move on. We say that about players, then why not about GMs?

[BillessuR6]

We drafted Bane for the Grizzlies! We have no idea who Ainge would have picked had he kept the pick. No idea.

So, if we picked Tyrell Terry for MEM everybody would be happy, right?

We traded the 30th pick not Bane and if we kept it we might have Terry, Carney, Oturu, Maledon on the bench...

That’s even worse. Celtics need a fresh start with talent evaluation
