His only chance of landing big free agents is if they are white
He better hope his draft picks hit
This is going to be the ultimate meltdown
Wishful thinking and projection
What exactly is Danny Ainge doing?

- Start date

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
I absolutely agree about Boogie. Coli basketball nerds love him because he's a dominant big but he also is a horrible teammate, hasn't won shyt and is a team cancer. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my team. George would've been a 1 yr rental. They should've got Jimmy tho, that's the only one I fault him on
EDIT: And if I'm a Celtics fan I'm really not all that mad. Clearly Ainge over values his picks, but the Celtics aren't chasing a championship next year they're in it for the long term. Cleveland probably won't be a threat after next season and you have a much weaker East with non proven entities in MIL & Philly who are young & haven't won anything. If I'm BOS, you are better positioned to rule the East for the next 5-10 seasons, Ainge doesn't need to be in a rush to make a move

the pick that ended up being #1 was not part of the deal, casualYou mean you wouldn't have taken what ended up being the #1 pick and then some for Winslow?
Come on, doggy
I like Winslow too but there's a limite
Use your assets and make a fukking trade.
Been looking for this shyt for years

What is Ainge doing?
What are the Pacers doing?
The Indiana Pacers reportedly turned down a bounty of draft picks and players from the Boston Celtics on draft night in a proposed package that would have sent Paul George to the reigning Atlantic Division champions.
According to ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman and the Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach, the Celtics offered three first-round picks and two starters in exchange for George at the 2017 NBA draft on June 22.

Winning a big lottery jackpot is my dream.
Ainge needs to get on camera and say the Pacers asked for the moon because they didnt want him traded in the east. He will look bad if more information doesn't come out as to why none of those 3 big names didnt end up in Boston.

Pacers Were Offered Gary Harris In Three-Way Paul George Trade - RealGM Wiretap
'The Pacers were seeking Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart and multiple picks from the Boston Celtics. The Celtics weren't ready to finalize that deal with multiple picks as they wanted to sign Gordon Hayward before moving on the George trade.'
If Indy got impatient and took a garbage offer from OKC instead, that's on them not Danny.
Celtics were always in a position of having to sign someone before trading. Indy couldn't wait another few days? fukk em.
Crowder, Smart and any first round picks is >>>> Oladipo and Sabonis.

You actually believe this?
You don't find it to be convenient that every time Boston wiffs on a trade a report immediately comes out that mentioned ALL they stuff they were offering but that the other team turned down? It also still doesn't explain why Ainge couldn't land Jimmy Butler. Hell, Boston theoretically had enough to get Porzingis.
The Sixers are TRASH you can't roll out a squad of under 22 year olds and expect to do a got damn thing. Them boys gonna be chum for the rest of the league. The bucks gotta show they can play winning team basketball. The rest of the east besides Washington and Toronto on a good night is Babbage too. Ainge won by not doing a damn thing and watching everybody go out west.
Who cares if he loses some players because he doesn't over pay them. Do y'all really think with the way this team is constructed and the type of coaching they have that losing any single player would make this team any worse? They lost IT and played better in the playoffs.
Blake, PG, Boogie, Butler... these aren't players that you add to a roster and your automatically a dynasty. Not to mention they all come with headaches that could ruin the team dynamic.
Look I understand this a different generation and people love to see big name players moving around rather than building chemistry working to get a little bit better every year. But, that's how front office guys get fired by gambling on diva superstars and it not working. Honestly I think the East is up for grabs with all the drama in Cleveland that situation looks closer to a meltdown.
I'd believe this was all smoke if it was only from Boston beat guys, but it's not, it's from national sources too.
Some of these things must have been at least talked about. Danny can't have the whole media world making up stories for him.
Keeping all your picks doesn't guarantee a dynasty either
And ruining the team dynamic? The Celtics are far from a title regardless of making the ecf so u take that chance
The players you mentioned the Celtics could have gotten and still kept their man picks/assets for the future
Right now the Celtics are banking on Brown Tatum or next years picks becoming top of the league players for staying pat to be worth and right now I wouldn't put my money on that

Real GM is a pretty legit site.
Also, what does Jimmy Butler or KP have to do with a failed trade with Indy? You know they are separate, right? I was speaking about not getting a deal done with Indy.
If a deal was being worked with Indy, then the Celtics wouldn't be buyers on Butler, and nobody was paying the ransom for KP.
So Boston was working on George while waiting to try and sign Hayward first. Indy got impatient and flaked. What the fukk so hard to understand about that?
