What's Danny Ainge's plan here guys?

A less efficient KD

With him putting that location on LA means he saying goodbye to OKC as well

You purposely have to do that on IG

That nikka don't wanna play with Westbrook

I was out at dinner... someone explain to me how the Pacers didn't get a future 1st for PG13 in this deal?

OKC needs to make a hard run at Blake. Even though they didn't give up much, this will be a pure rental. They need to show George they are committed if they want to resign him

Pacers shoulda waited till the trade deadline in season when team are more desperate.

And once again, Leskate has a golden path to the finals. The two best wings from his division traded to the west

Pritchard reportedly turned down Crowder, Bradley and all of Boston's 1st round picks that are not Brooklyn or the Lakers.

Jae gets paid like 8 mill a year, Bradley is off the books next year. It's a better deal.They're now saddled w/ a 21 mill year contract for the next 4 years but everyone is talking about Danny. SMH

I would of let George walk than take on Oladipo's contract.

talk about an out of no where trade happening....i see the media trying to lie now and say they thought the thunder were a player, but that's bullshyt...the thunder werent on anyone's radar to get pg....anyway, this seems like a 'fukk you move' from the pacers to pg....they were still pissed about all the double talk he gave them 'i'm gonna stay' then a week later 'i'm gone to la no matter what'....so they said fukk him and sent him to a place he wont win....in return they get a 'local' kid (at least college wise) in victor to try to get some money until they figure out what they wanna do as an organization....

as for the thunder: this just spends up their rebuilding process....pg aint gonna stay after this year, but they were able to get rid of victor's contract, which i think they cared more about...also, it's a pitch to russ that they willing to go get players, to try to get him to stay longer....

as for the players themselves: this gets pg closer to the lakers....and this is a great move for the lakers...they didnt have to give up shyt, and unless the thunder win the ring next year, he's gone to la....also, this might bite the thunder in the ass if pg talks to russ and say lets go to la together...

...while people get excited about names, this doesnt mean shyt in the big picture...the thunder are the same as they were last year: gonna be fighting for the 4-6 seed, and lucky to get to the 2nd round next year....

side note: let's all laugh at pump fake danny ainge lol...it's obvious he just a hoarder and not gonna do shyt with all those 'assets'....seriously, you trying to tell me that he couldnt put together a better offer to get butler and/or pg?...hell yea he could have, he just didnt want to....and he gonna come out with some bullsit story about how the teams were asking for too much, which is bullshyt...no way in hell they were asking bos for the moon, and then turning around and settling for peanuts....also, it's rather interesting that he wont pull the trigger for butler, cousins, or pg, but he'll go all out for hayward, who isnt as good as those other players....ok, it's not interesting, we know he doing it cause bos wants a white player they can sell as a star....cause he sure as hell aint gonna make them better than cle....

I agree with everything you said except the Ainge part fam. He did make an offer ( Bradley, Crowder and two picks) but Indiana wanted the Brooklyn or Lakers pick.

That's Tulsa PD.... but fucck the police in general.

Breh whoever reported that is lying.

Celtics offered James Young and 2nd round picks, Pritchard asked if they could throw in Tatum and Ainge hung up. Pritchard called back and asked for Rozier and got hung up on again.

 

[tremonthustler1]

I remember when "Pritch-slapped" was a thing


But I like the return for Indiana as long as Oladipo becomes what he should be. He's got a built in fanbase in Indiana and he can play well off Turner.


You have to remember something else: the Pacer owners are notorious for not wanting to ever rebuild, so they were never gonna tear it down completely.

That's not what's being reported. Pritchard seemed hell bent on getting a Lottery pick or Brown/Tatum from Boston.

Quite a few of us have already been discussing this. Even LA's offer was better than what they accepted. Randle and/or Clarkson, plus 27/28 or Russell and Mozzy would have been better deals.
