>2019 pick is a first rounder protected for 1-14, same for 2020, if not Boston will get an unprotected first rounder in 2021 in return for BOS 2021 second round pick.

F L E E C E D

No fucking kidding.

Legitimately an underrated storyline right now.
Had they just fucking waited for the Celtics to get Hayward to sign, they could've easily flipped PG13 for Avery, Crowder and a couple of 1st rounders.

Instead, they take a horrible Oladipo contract and some potential in sabonis but not enough to warrant passing on the potential Celtics offer.

Fucking dumb retard Pritchard is.

Magic, Lakers, Sixers, Nuggets all became worse as a result of this.
Is this the worst trade in NBA history such that no good came out of it?

>another first rounder down the line for Ainge

This guy is seriously a hoarder

But the wings are overflowing more than the backcourt.

your love was handmade for somebody like me

In today's NBA, you can literally never have enough wings.

danny ainge wont even live to see his pick get used lel, he has picks for 3030

Warrior haters stay losing kek

Pacers fans, how do you feel about this right now? I'd be pissed.

How fucked are the knicks this upcoming season?

...

TANKED by based brazilarry

Can someone post the Paul George and John Wall with their dog.
Cheers me up everytime.

I think you guys are going to end up trading Melo.

...

...

>positionless basketball

Is there a more retarded argument than this?

Tatum confirmed bust

you should add for pg
>eats seafood in oklahoma

seems like win-win desu. Magic get a player that isn't total shit and they get rid of Hezonja too. Celtics get cap space and more picks

...

Danny Ainge is the greatest GM in the history of the NBA.

Debate me

im going to make a Fultz and Tatum one lol

so knicks are getting better this off season?

Vucevic is good and Afflalo was a good player for the Magic though, and they traded him for Fournier so this and the Fournier trade is probably the only trade in franchise history that they "won"

>This is an OFFICIAL Utah Jazz writer

Ahahahahahahaha how fucking delusional can you be?

Looks like the Orlando talks as a 3rd team in the Gordon Hayward trade are falling through.

Not so fast

Why are the Celtics trading their best player? (Bradley)

Good GMs don't get fired

Forgot my picture.

This is one of the people "confirming" the story about a S&T

...

They didn't improve. They didn't make the playoffs again. They have no signs of relevancy in the near future. How is that winning?
Maybe I just have a poor memory. Did they have no chance at resigning Dwight or something?

then why the fuck would they fire Phil Jackson?

>He owes it to Utah after Tuesday.
He does not owe them shit.

>even professional utah writers on suicide watch

Utah is pathetic

Good GMs get results like Hinkie did

>Daryl Morey: "Hinkie? who tf is that? Oh that process loser? lol get out of my face, we cp3 now"

...

Maybe because he kept talking about a buyout instead of a trade?

...

Reminder

I miss him so much bros I wish he would come shitpost with us just one more time

>results

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Redrafting top 5

Fultz
Tatum
Ball
Bradley
Fox

discuss

Utah fans are sounding more and more like a jilted spouse.

Honestly I'd take Tatum at #1 but those two are clearly the best in SL so far.

He literally hasn't even gotten them the 8th seed

BostonHerald is saying Ainge is also trying to ply Rodney Hood from Utah.

Ball
Tatum
Fox
Fultz
Smith Jr

If you run into an asshole once, maybe you just ran into an asshole.

If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.

Stop being assholes celkeks

>Out of shape, Loser
>Carmelo Anthony/Paul George Hybrid
>Solid Pick
>Who?
>Next Rajon Rondo

>use his leverage to harm the team that he is supposedly going to sign with
This does not make sense at all.

Replying to me twice is not necessary friend

Howard was g-o-n-e, this was a sign and trade

and yeah it didn't push the Magic to relevance, but not only do the Magic always lose the war they usually lose the battles too, so winning a battle is worth something.

>Dejounte Murray goes 0-10
>Celtics lose

How do Bombston fags defend this?

>If you run into an asshole once, maybe you just ran into an asshole.

If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.

demetrius

IT/Rozier
Brown/Smart
Hayward/Hezonja
Tatum/Yabusele
Horford/Zizic

Literally who can stop us?

I literally don't think there's a scenario where this team doesn't win at least 65 games.

After thinking about it, I actually really really hope they trade Crowder and Bradley.

That will guarantee that Brad has to play Tatum and Brown with some serious minutes.

I'd legit prefer to just give them away at this point.

Can someone explain to me why the Celtics want Hood now too? Aren't you guys clogged about the shooting guard position?

>Jabari Parker (left knee) was spotted running and going through agility drills on Tuesday.
>Expecting to be on the court in February

...

>Tatum/Yabusele
>Horford/Zizic

>

I know it was just a joke in a commercial but Off The Hook is a fucking awesome Cajun seafood place in OKC.

Not even a Celtics fan, I'm just going along for the ride because my team has done jack shit all off-season.

Why hasn't Brazilbot been banned yet?

>his first overall draft pick can't crack double digit wins in college

Jesus how embarrassing.

You asked for me?

Was he gone? I thought Dwight's big problem was with Van Gundy, and Dwight got him fired before he left. Was it because Orlando was stingy with money?

...

*both knees explode in 27 different places*

Yabusele isn't making the team. They need to get a real 4

>Ainge apparently offering Crowder, Bradley, and a first rounder for Hayward and Hood.

>His team doesn't play positionless basketball

Lmao the Celtics and Warriors are light years ahead of the nba

The starting 5 looks nice, but those reserves look like they'll blow leads constantly.

Autism isn't a bannable offense unfortunately

I'll just tweet you bruh, that's all you seem to be good for

Well he's not making the team because they need the cap space and because he's recovering from an injury.

They already said they're stashing him in Europe next season (again).

>Hood

No fucking way, he's the best scorer left on the team.

Not an argument. Botting is a permaban offense

Botting is.

>thinking Ainge would do that trade over Bradley for Hezonja/First rounder

lmao

Having a complete starting 5 is what really matters in the NBA though. I mean, having a complete shit bench makes you the Wizards, but if it can at least be passable than that's all you really need.

Kind of the problem with the Celtics the last couple of years. They never had a great starting 5, but they had a reasonable deep bench of rotational players so they could float off of that. But whenever they got into the playoffs, they got exposed hard.

...

I hate the lottery pick meme because Robert Covington's transformation into one of the best wing defenders in the NBA is always disregarded as a result. Philly will be hurting if they can't resign him.

if THIS is true it would make more sense

Ainge likes Hood though.

Orlando supposedly backed out. The first rounder would have been going to Utah anyway.

They have the cap room to resign him. I don't see an outcome where they DON'T resign him outside of him actively wanting out of Philly.

Ainge likes draft picks most of all, why would he give up a first when he can get one plus a top 5 lottery player.
There was no Utah in that trade, the Celtics don't need Utah they just need to dump salary. But there hasn't been any updates so they're probably still talking or it's dead.

>Ainge likes draft picks most of all, why would he give up a first when he can get one plus a top 5 lottery player.
I mean, you're not wrong. I'm just saying that Utah trade makes sense compared to >Le Hayward will force S&T because he owes us

Look at Hood's contract, age, and stats and you see why Ainge would do it.

>the Celtics don't need Utah
