Danny Ainge needs to be fired

[SchoolboyC]

I wish Jordan share the same sentiments with you.

And tell me again what Jordan has to do with anything?

 

[Suiken]

Are you dumb breh?

The Lakers got Dwight for Andrew Bynum who was never healthy again and a single first round pick. Ya he left after a year but it was definitely worth the risk, it just didn't work out. We barely gave anything up for him.

Still lost that trade though.

You could have acquired Vucevic or Iguodala instead and that first round this year's Laker pick will be in danger if your team didn't end up in the top 3 lottery.

Danny offered him BRN PICKS for the Hornet's 2015 1st. Not just one, but probably all of them. I bet you'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile Butler and PG could leave their teams with nothing but cap space. Just look how much the Sixers got for Noel.

Pretty sure he offered four 1st rounders but none of them were Brooklyn picks

And also it wasn't just Jordan who rejected Ainge's offer

You are using HINDSIGHT like a DUMB motherfukker to justify your stupid opinion. No we didn't lose that trade, Dwight ended up leaving but he was better for that one year than Bynum was for the rest of his career. Lakers were never after Iggy or Vucevic nor was Vucevic even considered good at that time.

And that Lakers pick that's in danger was the one we traded for Nash, to the Suns, who traded it for Brandon Knight.

Realistically the celtics could have traded for BOTH George/Butler and still had a solid 8-9 man rotation. Might even had enough to get Noel as well considering how cheap he was.

Yes it would have cost them both their nets picks, but why the hell not. Thomas/George/Butler/Horford as your core is more than enough to compete for the next few years.

That doesn't sound realistic to me. They were asking too much for either of them. No way in hell they were getting both. (Or all 3)

And you people aren't using hindsights? The team looks good on paper, but it was a disaster on the actual product. I'm sure some of you laker fans rather have one of them instead of Dwight right now. More reason to be wary of "Superstar" offer, especially with high asking price.

What hindsight am I using? Even after Dwight left the Lakers i"m still saying that was a good trade and made sense. Bynum was known as injury prone and he went out with injuries and never got healthy again.

We lost a single first round pick basically for a year of Dwight and a chance to retain him, it just didn't work out.

And reasons outside of just trading for him was why it didn't work out. 1) we hired Pringles instead of Phil which really fukked us up 2) Dwight was dealing with injuries, neither George/Butler have any injury concerns 3) the Nash trade is what really fukked up our team, not the Dwight trade.

And that's why many GM's are salty

Im not lying when I said Danny offered Jordan the BKN picks
Celtics Offered Six Picks to Charlotte for 9th Pick

Man nobody is salty towards Ainge. But use whatever bullshyt you can to cover up for him

Anyway, this conversation is done, cause you keep deflecting to talk about shyt that has no relation to the original point, first with Melo, then with Dwight, now with this

2nd place in the East, position for the top pick in the draft. There were no moves that would have put us past Cleveland this year, so im alright with not making any changes. Lets see how this plays out in the summer. I will always stand with Dannis Baratheon.

So that's how it works so if 2 teams are better no point in trying

It's not their overall play, character or health issues that is a concern. Its their contract. They'll play year and a half season. What if they bolted out to other teams like Dwight did to your Lakers? Why the hell would you give up your goldmine when you can just outright sign any of George or Butler when they reach the free agency? Celtics can offer them MAX contract without giving up anything aside from cap space.

I doubt it probably those bullshyt 2nds and the rozier pick

Good. Try revisiting this thread after two years or more. I'll be sure to keep tracking this too.

Butler is on one of the best contracts in the league and it runs for 2 more years after this one.

You guys are not going to sign Paul George in free agency. When is the last time celtics convinced an actual superstar to come to their team via free agency? Please Al Horford.
