Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
@tremonthustler1 never went to war for KG, he was always passive on the post just like his mans. Just like who we followed, it was between @CantStop and myself :mjpls:

I just posted that to pour gasoline on the inevitable final fire split between you and Tre.

:wow:

This is sad shyt but I rooted against KG his entire career except for the one year or so he was still competent with the Nets. :manny:

I really don't have any real feelings about him retiring, but I will say that Ainge gotta be kicking himself. Stockpiling picks hasn't panned out so far and he probably could've sent both Pierce and KG off Kobe style and made some dough out of it.

KG said he wouldn't be coaching and if it's true that he won't be working in Minny's front office then I hope the Celtics keep him busy

Ainge is about to get Brown, a top 3 pick in loaded draft next year and I think one more pick down the line for a washed KG, Pierce. They weren't super washed yet, but he knew they couldn't be relied on to win another title. That might end up being an all time trade steal

Brown to me isn't a steal, I think he's going to be a mediocre player, if not a complete bust. We'll see. Draft next year is being hyped big so we'll see what happens but if they fall out of the top 3 then to me Ainge failed.

At the time that he traded Pierce and KG he could've done some maneuvering, IIRC that was before the Rondo ACL tear and his value was still high. I would've rather traded Rondo for some help, Celtics were still an ECF threat
