boston will never win a title with danny ainge again, neverrrr

he's like a poker player who only raises the bet when he damn sure knows he's about to win

his GM skills are overrated, he is looking for ways how to fleece teams the way he did with brooklyn or back in the days when the celtics big three was formed

now all GM's are asking danny for more because they hate this irish midget and they know he's looking for ways to fool them again

free agents dont want to go to that racist ass city, nobody cares about boston :mjlol: they are stuck with drafting players and this team will be like rich man's early 00s chicago bulls when they had all the picks in the world drafting nikkas and coming up with mediocre project

I'm confused... wasn't the Celtics in the ECF?

Y'all want Ainge to trade away the core of the roster for what reason exactly?

Paul George openly shat on his teammates and quit in the playoffs and leaving at end of contract... Jimmy Butler had locker room problems and traded away for a injured player.... Boogie Cousins is a absolute team cancer

These teams didnt as far as Boston putting together a buncha names not even thinking about how the pieces fit.

Boston is a Cavs injury away from being in the Finals. None of these trades changes that.
you can't look at the current year and expect this team to be back in conference finals so easily

the sixers are building up, bucks looking scary. The celtics with this brooklyn picks gift should have built the super team right now.

celtics are going nowhere right now. They will be forced to overpay for their current players right now, meaning that this team is about to lose some of their assets by letting them walk away because they will not afford all them players

the window for an all time great team officially has closed

the brooklyn picks will not even find enough playing time on that squad to truly live up to the potential

ainge is the arsene wenger of basketball

Perfect comparison

Shut your goddamned mouth!!!
Arsegawd has titles friend.

I think he means as far as talent acquisition goes, not performance. I swear Wenger doesn't even have have the transfer windows memorized, he just sleeps right through them :snoop:

Id fire him if i was the owner thats awful. Pg for a bag of shyt jimmy butler for a bag of dycks
How is it his fault that Indiana is so stupid that they decided to pass on tons of picks just so PG can go out west

It's funny people blaming Danny for Indy making a shytty trade to spite PG and other teams.

Instead of Indy taking a good but not absolutely loaded package from Boston, they take a subpar one from OKC.

It's like Indy was like, well if I can't get over on Boston then I'm not going to talk any trade with you and will send PG elsewhere just cause I can.

That's how GMs lose jobs. Danny was smart for not giving in to lop sided demands when you see the bag of sandwiches Indy took back for PG.

That being said, Danny needs to do something. fukk. If all we do is max out IT I'm gonna be pissed.

So what's the excuse for not getting Butler?

Butler was a much safer trade and he likely would have stayed in Boston, but somehow Boston couldn't get him but Minnesota got him for a package that Boston could EASILY beat.

It's a fair question and I don't really have a good reason. I'm by no means a die hard Danny fan. I like that he didn't blow it up to trade for a PG rental. Butler would've been nice. Only thing I can think is that Danny wouldn't come off both #3 and another lotto pick, plus players.

In reality he probably thought Crowder and Rozier plus those picks was too much.

I doubt Hayward comes to Boston, and it kind of sucks that all the other moves took place before the Celtics could even meet with Gordon, but thems the brakes and that's how the business goes.

The constant questioning and doubting the abilities of Danny Ainge as a GM is so bizarre. :mindblown:

Flipped a bottom of the barrel team into a team playing in the ECF over a four year period. Has cap space to sign a FA to a max contract. Has drafted in the top three of the NBA Draft in each of the last two seasons with two more high Lottery picks in the stash next season. I don't get the hate.

If I'm New Orleans I'm proactive about this Anthony Davis situation.

I want Tatum, Brown, both lottery picks next year and I'll take a bad contract back.
