Jackson Rogers
I'd better see lots and lots of images of Ainge with the JUST hair if the Celtics stand pat at the trade deadline.
Justin Martin
are we back, boys?
Sebastian Hughes
Is he still calling all the shots?
Jaxson Murphy
Jah WILL be moved by the deadline, it's just a question of where

Elijah Phillips
The Celtics are trading Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart, their own 2017 first round pick, 2018 Brooklyn first round pick for Luol Deng and Brandon Ingram league source tells @TheVertical.
Connor Baker
the call that saved the lakers
Jason Cooper
Horrible trade for the Lakers. That isn't worth half of Ingram even with Deng's bad deal.
Henry Young
Who is he calling?
Christian Peterson
Brandon Ingram to use his BBIQ to get a killer deal for Steph Curry for Tyreke Evans and picks.
Kevin Sanchez
shit keeps going up and down
Jacob Jenkins
Who cares back to belgrade surf
AMIRITE MY BOSNA BRO
Dylan Phillips
Called the bogs, they didn't pick up
Jaxon Reyes
the call that saved the western conference
Adrian Stewart
images are fucked again
christ mook get it together
Ian Robinson
The phone call that saved the Kings...
Elijah Moore
Thibs asking for Rose - how close to not being rumor? Only original source I can find is shit tier NY paper.
Daniel Gray
hope they take noah as well. Plus Rose is on an expiring contract and if they get a pick for him it'll be heaven for the knickerbockers
Juan White
That what I am praying not to happen. Rose at this point is worse than Rubio and is paid a lot more. And wolves definitely do not need another big man.
Josiah Miller
>tfw too smart to use your assets
The Ainge pill is difficult to swallow but once one does, they can comprehend such obvious choices like drafting Marcus Smart over Julius Randle
Colton Walker
wew test wew
Zachary Russell
why do NBA players feel the need to wear glasses it's beyond retarded REEEEEEEE
Mason Davis
And Buddy picks the 24. Coincidence? Vlad and Vivek are playing 8D chess. They're from the future.
Grayson Sanchez

Chase Collins
t-t-thanks hiro
Jaxson Cooper
Some people need glasses for reading long texts but nothing else.
Levi Roberts
If Shaw stayed in Orlando with Penny and they got Grant Hill (and he didn't get injured) would they have won a chip?
Isaac Thomas
Shaq would have dominated the East. I'm trying to remember the centers back then, maybe Mutumbo on the 76ers, Todd Mccullough on the Nets, Mourning on the Heat, Camby on the Knicks...that's BBQ chicken.
Hill & Penny (even post Dumars Penny) would put up crazy efficient numbers. Probably 2 rings, free road to the Finals every year like LeBron now.
Isaac Thomas
The Celtics don't need to make a trade just because they need to.
They're the second seed in the East and they are already almost guaranteed a high lottery pick in the upcoming draft. All they need to do now is to make sure their scouts don't fuck up hard and they pick the BPA at #1 (don't see them at #2 and above unless Silverball happens)
Easton Lewis
friendly reminder celtics will not make moves at the deadline because they are run by an autist.
Bentley Turner
So what is the Laker excuse going to be when Magic runs the franchise into the ground?
Adrian Parker
It seems that Crowder is the sticking point in the Butler negotiations. Ainge wants to keep him, but Butler wants to get him back in exchange along with picks.
Austin Thomas
test
Hudson Stewart
john wall's status?
Chase King
Welcome back everyone
Bentley Morales
If Penny/Hill stay healthy then they make the finals every year from 1999 to 2003 and remain serious contenders until 2006
Owen Fisher
whats his iq again"?
Kayden Smith
they're still counting it
Joshua Gonzalez
>[Stein] I have heard that Boston have not abandoned all interest in Jahlil Okafor. I certainly don’t think that the priority for them, the priority is getting Jimmy Butler or Paul George, but I still think you got to keep your eyes on the Celtics with Okafor
lmao nice job Ainge
Connor Roberts
Honestly you have to wonder how much of the trade deadline drama is just made up by the media to keep people clicking and reading
Brayden Rogers
Status on Ingram?
Austin Perez
bust
Nicholas Diaz
Inter dimensional 5d chess
Kevin Jones
i haven't gone to bed yet and i refuse to go to bed until danny ainge does something
come on you stupid leprechaun
Brandon Johnson
>One source close to the situation said Kupchak and Jeanie Buss had not spoken since Nov. 1, despite her role as president of basketball operations and the power that gave her to fire Kupchak, and that her brother had resorted to communicating with his sister only through lawyers.
>her brother had resorted to communicating with his sister only through lawyers.
>her brother had resorted to communicating with his sister only through lawyers.
>her brother had resorted to communicating with his sister only through lawyers.
LMAO
Thomas Butler
>he thinks Danny boy will move recklessly
If Boogie could be acquired for peanuts then Jimmy Butler/Paul George could be had for a bag of Cheetos :^)
Chase Thomas
no one is gonna want noah and his shit contract lol
Angel Adams
yeah I just saw Aldridge talking about it.
Why is Crowder so important again? wasn't he the one that shat on the Celtics and their fans a couple of months ago? Wasn't he the one that couldn't make a 3 to save his life in the last playoffs? can someone give me a quick rundown on Showder?
Jace Rodriguez
we are all going to look back on this as the trade that saved the Kings, Boogie is Latrell Sprewell 2.0
Jace Reed
you gon die
James Cox
fake tough guy
likes to boop people on the nose
Kayden Reed
Crowder is Boston's main defensive guy for wings/4s.
He's like a bargain bin version of what James Posey was except he's shorter and is a much horrible and inconsistent shooter (actually all of the Celtics are save for Thomas and Armbreaker).
If Butler becomes the 3, they will have a gaping hole on the wings since he'll only be backed up by books nigga and he's not ready for Lebron/Durant/George yet.
Oliver Brooks
>and they pick the BPA at #1 (don't see them at #2 and above unless Silverball happens) you're a dumb nigger
Brayden Russell
Shook, shaken, stirred
Parker Bennett
lelkers in shambles, Jim and Jeannie destroying the legacy Dr. Buss left behind
Zachary Rogers
Do you guys think any Nba players post here? Being anonymous must appeal to famous ppl
Noah Ramirez
hurry up and Trade Collison, Divac. I NEED to see Reke as a leading scorer on a team again.
Jonathan Sanders
I have a reason to go to New Orleens now!
Michael Anderson
If the Cavs don't win this season are they trash? How high is their payroll now? 130?
Kevin Turner
Since trading KG/Pierce and officially starting the rebuild, the Celtics have drafted those players in the 1st round >Marcus Smart >James Young >Terry Rozier >RJ Hunter >Jaylon Brown >2 euros that still haven't played If I was a Celtic fan, I'd pray for Ainge to trade away every single draft pick based on this record
Ryder Martinez
Is the Rockets pick they traded confirmed for 2017 yet?
Hunter Diaz
Confirmed for posting here >Sam Hinkie
Suspected >Russell Westbrook
Aware of us >Joel Embiid >Lance Stephenson
Hoax >James Harden
Elijah Johnson
Marcus Smart is good, better than drafting Randle James Young is shit, u right Rozier already a top 40 PG even though he never plays Rj Hunter u right Jalen Brown unironically looks better than a lot of rookies this year including Ingram Yuros look good, especially Ante
Kys
Oliver Ward
Hurry Danny boy, im falling asleep
You forgot MWP, mentioned Sup Forums in a livestream
Ethan Hernandez
top kek
Nathan Rogers
Why the fuck Bulls want Crowder ? The aim of a rebuild is to be bad & develop young players. Crowder provides neither.
'17 nets pick + Brown + maybe Smart is what they should be getting. Why the fuck would you want Crowder or Avery Bradley ?!
Jace Sullivan
Do you see them constructing a championship roster through the draft?
OKC needed to find 2 legit superstars (Durant,Westbrook) and 1 budding superstar (Harden) in the draft to do it. The best Celtics have done so far is drafting a defensive stud who'd, ideally, be the 4th/5th best player on a contending roster. If they keep this up they'll end up with a 1st/2nd round exit team barring some huge Lebron/Durant tier FA signing
Nolan Howard
Because Crowder is young and still has 3 and half years left at only like 6 million a year
Alexander Peterson
on a cheap 3 and D contract and stingy dipshit ainge thinks he can levy that cheap 3 and D contract in a later, better trade that is never gonna happen
ainge is the guy in your fantasy football league that spams garbage fucking trades hoping somebody bites and when they don't it's their problem not his
Kevin Perry
Danny Ainge is a idiot, he's gonna end up with Okafor another bust to put alongside Jaylen Bustown
Thomas Cox
.>sign larry sanders, langston galloway, and derrick williams >cut that manlet jordan mcrae >finally have a complete bench
just give us the chip already
Luis Myers
>mfw Bird rather work with Magic than Ainge and sends PG13 our way >mfw Celtics drop to #2 in the draft because we steal the top spot
Literally how do you ever beat this team? It is unbeatable.
>high as fuck BBIQ >bbq chicken >3 point shooting >post defense >perimeter defense >ability to take over the game at any time >rebounding >triple double machines >heart >leadership
Who could ever compete with them?
Camden Peterson
Is 2011 the most underrated draft ever? The 3 of the top 4 picks are about to be NBA champs.
Ryder Ross
considering Isaiah Thomas was the 60th best player in that draft it's pretty much confirmed
Thomas Rodriguez
>all these teams making trades >all these teams wasting their time because the san antonio spurs basketball club is going to win the 2017 NBA finals championship series
WATTBA

You can't refute this
Nathaniel Wright
Gary Payton/penny hardaway Vince Carter/Clyde drexler Kawhi Leonard/Scottie Pippin Kevin Garnett/Dennis rodman Hakeem Olajuwon/Ben Wallace
Zachary Anderson
The call that saved the Cavs...
Ryder Scott

Zachary Murphy
Go away Ingram Flat earth
Robert White
TRADE EVERYONE FOR BUTLER REEEEEEE
Benjamin Barnes
And then you woke up.
Alexander Lewis
Langston Galloway is on the kings I think or was he waived?
Luis Ortiz
Swap Kidd and Paul and it's
Ayden Jones
I think Gary Payton is a top 3 point guard. I don't know why I like him so much
Nicholas Nguyen
I know J Kidd had a low fg% for some time
Connor Jones
>Russell Westbrook
What did he mean by this?
Blake Morales
It's crazy how he's 8th all time in 3 pointers made. His jumpshot was utter trash when he started out.
Brayden Williams
he's on the kings but he's expected to be waived
Carson Carter
westbrooks the type of dude who would log onto /nba/ and shitpost about himself just to see how many of his fans will come out to defend him and call him MVP
James Gonzalez
The call that saved the Clippers
Robert Cruz
Pathetic post.
Take a lap.
Carter Flores

Get up, come on get down with the sickness. Get up, come on get down with the sickness. Get up, come on get down with the sickness. Open up your hate and let it flow into me. Get up, come on get down with the sickness. You mother get up, come on get down with the sickness. You fucker get up, come on get down with the sickness. Madness is the gift, that has been given to me.
