It's a Tragedy to see the Deadline's Over Post Trade Thread

[tfribs45]

I like Ainge assuring Marcus Smart.

It shows that Ainge cares about the Celtic players.

I think he was humbled by Benedict Allen and all of the studs leaving him at the alter over the last few seasons. Def a good move, especially if he wants to keep Marcus around longterm. I’m hoping he does, time will tell.

LMAO at the idiots in this thread that are pissing all over today's moves when they would have taken Ball at 1 instead of Tatum at 3.

Essentially dumping Theis as an expiring for an another equally expiring player who is worse than Theis, just to save the owner some money is baddddd

This ownership group is in full penny pinch mode

Many years ago I read MSG made $1 million a night per event (game, concert, circus, whatever). No kidding. You wonder how much dough the Cs have actually lost w/o fans.

Indeed. To even have the gall to bring penny-pinching up during a pandemic is remarkable. It reminds me of something someone who was in consulting once told me: "I'd rather make mistakes with someone else's money than with mine." I'm sure BigTrade92 is in full spending mode at the moment.

Some teams have lost 70% of revenue. But LOL @ needlessly taking on a repeater tax next year just to go like $1m into the tax with a guy they aren't even resigning on a team that cant win a title.

Yep, it's the same fools who don't understand the money behind things and were saying things like "looks like we are done making trades" after the first trade was called. I think I learned my lesson, being here live for the trade deadline was completely pointless. 100 pages of people crying the same things over and over again.

I’m actually doing quite well. Invest in crytpo my friend. Word to the wise. Nice projection though...

Even funnier that you expect me to shed a tear for a guy who’s worth $400 million. The balls on you to try and use that as a crutch

If anyone contributing to this site doesn’t think the Celtics are a better team now then they were this morning.....you’re dead wrong. Fournier is going to help a lot. Balances things out nicely in that rotation.

[Celtics1918]

Not even worth having a legitimate discussion with you about the Celtics but I'll respond to this just to give you the attention you are craving.

That’s nice. Thanks for the clout.

Ainge and the ownership group said two years ago they were ready to start paying the tax. Clearly not.

How can you still defend this? It’s always “next year” with these guys. This group isn’t serious about winning. They care about lining their pockets and being just competitive enough to stay in the playoffs and overachieve to keep the fans base on edge.

There’s a reason Ainge and Wyc have been together since the new ownership group came in. Their business model is working to perfection. Isn’t translating to winning titles though. It’s time for a shake up plain and simple and it needs to start with Ainge going.

Lol, feel free the post search me. Im not an Ainge defender or one who stumps for ownership. Literally have called the 15 year window PR from ownership on wanting to be the Pacers.

But getting mad over not paying the tax this year? Nah. Wouldve been reckless and stupid to do so when were 21-23 and Tatums extension kicks in next year. Resetting the repeater clock is literally the only option.

See, being worried about tax when Tatum and Brown could very well soon be planning an exit once those contacts end is my entire point.

You need to overhaul this team now and get these guys help. This rag tag roster and a washed up Walker is wasting away a valuable year. There’s no guarantees in the NBA so trying to continually shoot for the future is a bad play.

I'm with you stop worrying about the future because before you know it Tatum and Brown will ask out. Trying to stay under the tax makes no since I thought Boston was a big market team and money should not matter in this sports town. I didn't realize the Celtics are near the bottom in team spending that just sad. So when does this Celtics dynasty start that we been hearing about all I see teams that we laugh at are passing us now.

First off, cry me a river that a bunch of billionaire owners have lost revenue. Boo hoo.

Second, it has little to do with Theis and Theis alone and everything with wasting the Jays prime a year after reaching the ECF. It’s a microcosm of how this ownership has operated. They punted on Harden, so if this is the road you’re choosing, get to work.

The fact that they can’t win a title and have a roster that’s regressed is the issue.

[Captain_Caveman]

I think Wiseman is gettable.

He's not ready to help that team win titles in the next year or two.

Barely going into the tax for 29 games of Theis on a team that is below .500 is asinine.

If this is a go no where team then why trade for Fournier?

Can't argue both sides of this coin my friend.

I like the Fournier move but the Theis move is crazy.

If they are really not feeling this season, then reboot in the off-season and actually use the TPE on someone who's gonna be here.

And we just went from thin in the middle to invisible.

I like Rwill but he has trouble staying healthy.

Theis was a reeeeally weird move. If it was luxury tax related then just stand pat and play out the string.

No need to repeat what you wrote.

Or to ever write it again.

Well no, that’s why the copy and paste function was invented. Good on you for picking that up.

Because they want to be a good team? The issue is the repeater tax on a team that its currently poised to be $20m into the tax next year, not the prorated remainder of Fournier's contract.

Are there really multiple people arguing against this?

Anyone read this?

Well it did make me feel better about Fournier's defense.

Fournier is fine on D. He is literally the French Hayward. Almost the exact same archetype/production.

He will be huge for this team
