resilient part 2 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 How do we even know that PG, Kawhi, who ever, would even have helped Boston with their massive too many mouths to feed roster. Keep in my Kyrie isn't known to pass often 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 In real time the Celtics gave up a lot for Kyrie so I wouldn’t say Ainge was afraid of using assets. Remember how valuable everyone thought that Brooklyn pick was two years ago? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how valuable everyone thought that Brooklyn pick was two years ago? He made that move knowing IT was a shell of himself. Heck, Cavs realized after his physical examination that he wasn't right and still made the trade. So was the Nets pick valuable? Yes, but Ainge also had a shot at getting an elite PG who had two years on his deal to replace a washed IT. If that's the only real asset he gave up? Then that's all that needs to be said here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retool the offense around Jayson Tatum and you guys will be fine. If you hit in the draft this year, would be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his only fault is not giving up our best young players for 1 year rentals 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️I’m okay with that. It’s easy to criticize using hindsight bias.

No, he knew Kyrie had a hip issue. Nobody knew it was going to effect him this badly and everyone though that Brooklyn pick was a top 3 lock. Ive debunked the “Danny is afraid to use his assets” myth about 5 times but you can be next in line if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempus Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 All those Boston assets to just become a middling Eastern playoff team. Seems like there's not much to shout about as a Boston fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempus Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 As I said. Nothing to shout about. Those assets have amounted to a team who are perennially primed for 2nd round exits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as it’s fun to bash the Lakers, they didn’t give all this up if Boston’s offer wasn’t reasonably competitive. You understand that's not how this works right? These dudes having working relationships with everyone in the league. Their jobs depend on them giving reliable information. They report what they are told and relationships would be ruined if they were getting fed incorrect information. Maybe if it was a local beat guy that's just a mouthpiece, but the top level guys aren't going to be reporting false information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an interesting discussion. If I was a Celtics fan I'd probably be understanding, but as a neutral NBA fan hearing about their war chest for so long it is pretty shocking how it all worked out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
