Masai had less assets then the Celtics and have gone farther

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Ainge wasted that "warchest" of his because he aint wanna give up role players and the one calculated risk he did take is about to blow up in his face too once Kyrie walks

 

[SchoolboyC]

why didn’t the Celtics go after him? Brown & coming off some of those 1sts prob could have got it done. they’d be in the Finals right now

Maybe they go to the Finals, maybe adding Kawhi makes their situation worse than it already was.

And if the latter happened and both Kyrie & Kawhi left, then even more threads are being made clowning the Celtics.

In hindsight it’s a worthy thought, but there’s no way we can definitively know what would’ve happened.

Kawhi's robotic.His nature is mechanical/fixed.Like if his heart's set on being in LA, I don't think there's anything you

can do to change his mind.It's the "Dark Kermit The Frog rocking a hoodie" side of his nature.Low key,

The man's cold as ice inside...Jason Voorhies type shyt

 

[MollyGalaga]

Fultz was untouchable????

shyt look funny now

 

[Regular_P]

It isnt because he wasnt going to sign an extension. It's a no brainer for the raptors since they were desperate

They'd be better off with Kawhi taking them to the Finals and leaving than giving Simmons the max.

Is it tho? If Kawhi leaves this is all moot. We all know Toronto ain’t winning the ship so this won’t matter in the long run.

Gotta think long-term. Now with that being said, props to Masai for going for it. For Toronto, making the finals is a huge win for the franchise. He can coast on that for awhile. Boston on the other hand... if they gave up young talent for a rental and didn’t win the championship it’s an L.

See above. Philly really woulda been a juggernaut if they swapped Simmons for Kawhi.

This idiot could have had any multiples of:

Paul George
Jimmy Butler
Kawhi Leonard
Boogie Cousins
Anthony Davis

But he was too fixated on Jaylen Brown and Scary Terry

 

[Rout3r2035]

bruh they said they didn't want to give up on Brown.

not to mention that Tatum was off limit for whatever reason. that wasn't even someone they would discuss . but they said they would hate to give up... Jaylen Brown for... Kawhi


dumbass Boston

The irony and shamelessness of you making this post after refusing to trade Stringbean Jeff Green for Kawhi too

 

[Hey_zeus]

Ainge overplayed his hand.

 

[Damnshow]

Why do we even have to mention this overrated scammer ainge? He never did shyt with assets he had. He was gifted KG from his pal mchale. And picked up Ray Allen from sonics fire sale. The rest is history. He ain't accomplished shyt after that championship and 2010 finals appearance.

Masai took over bum ass raptors that bryan colonics ruined for years. And took them to finals when the opportunity was there.

Kawhi comes from the same cloth as Bron, Kobe, Duncan and players like that, who can carry your pretty average roster to deep playoff runs. I don't know how true those Kawhi Celtics trade rumors were, but if danny boy said no to trading Brown, Tatum and whatever for Kawhi that shyt right there would get him fired if he didn't win 08 ring for the franchise

Oh wait let me guess, they tought those Kawhi injuries were red flag?
