TheRealMcCoy Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Troy Brown said: still waiting for you to explain how trading any expiring big contract helps your image around the league, seems like a conundrum in your argument When did I say not trading those guys helps or hurts your image around the league? Your image is bad because of past history with Celtics fans which I won't get into, Danny Ainge shipping players off left and right, and how they handled the Thomas situation. Obviously you can say they made the right decision with Thomas, but players around the league obviously don't perceive it that way and that isn't insignificant. Lakers image is great, because of our fans and how our organization treats its players, but I digress.... we aren't gonna see eye to eye on any of this, so its kind of pointless to keep going at this point. I see your optimistic outlook for the Celtics and I won't say its not warranted cause I like Brown and love Tatum, but I just see problems.

Never said you did. 4 minutes ago, Troy Brown said: i haven't said anything about the lakers. they've made good moves. Alright fair enough, but I just made the comparison since we are going back and forth about this subject and we fans of rival teams. 5 minutes ago, Troy Brown said: but you personally said the celtics should have traded kyrie, horford, hayward. Yes, because if they want to leave for another situation, then try and get some assets for them if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) But, @11sanchez11 was right. I've probably set a record for the most posts on this sub-forum in a 5 day span since FA started on the 20th and I need to chill out and catch up on some sleep and stop checking my phone lol. I was way too into this free agency. The amount of times I refreshed twitter is ungodly. Plus, like I said we aren't gonna see eye to eye on any of this it seems. We both know where we stand.

I think the BOS picks are more valuable than picks 7 years down the line, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
