I don't know man. The Hawks finessed the Nets prior, but the Beltics finessed the dog shyt outta them. The ability to switch picks with them again for 2018 is mind boggling.
I am talking contender more than anything . What they are is good but they are not great

What's that make the hawks then? At least the Celtics can get better

Bazemore is making more than Isaiah Bradley and smart combined
We aren't talking about the Hawks. The Hawks are what they are. About to start the rebuilding phase which I am totally fine with considering our new GM and what not.

I have no clue why you are so hostile. Even Danny Ainge said EXACTLY what I said a hour ago.

Starting a rebuild centered around Dwight Howard seems like a great idea... but let's insult Horford who is a much better player

By significant change with Boston it means jerebko zeller Amir green Mickey Jackson Young are all probably gone

Nobody is building around Dwight. The Hawks brought him in and didn't have much shooting in general to balance the offense.

The Beltics brought Alice in for the max, when they should go true big man. Of course their isn't any in free agency or the draft to help them.

Biggest travesty in Al's career is not being able to play power forward for a full season. I think he could have been an 18/10 type player if he had a true center to play off when he was younger. At this point though he's not worth what he's getting paid but if the Celtics get another star and he's then the third best player on the team it wont look so bad. He's good in all things but not really great in any one thing though he is an exceptional passer for his size. Just not quite good enough to be the best or even 2nd best player on a title team.

I don't get why he kept bringing up the Hawks (other than to ridicule some #hawksset brehs)

As for the main point of the discussion, again, Horford is not a #1 option on a championship-level team but he was never packaged as one (other than the fact that he was the best free agent big man last summer and got max contact money). Moreover, he hasn't been able to rebound at a desirable level (whether that's because of the team's system or his own shortcomings is another debate). HOWEVER, anybody who thinks the Celtics didn't improve with Horford's addition is delusional. Just look at how much the team improved compared to last season. As for the max contract money, if Boston didn't pay him, then Washington would've. He was the best big man available last summer by a large margin and after him was Ian Mahimi-type big men.:hhh:

It sucks that Tristan owns Al in the paint but that's what the Cs are gonna have to put up with until we pay/trade for another big man (or wait to see how Yabu is doing). It can't be denied however that the Cs are trending in the right direction and are very close (1 or 2 players away) to contending for a championship. We need to decide what we're going to do with our logjam at the guard positions, what we're going to do with that #1 pick, and see which free agent acquisitions or trades we can facilitate. Of course the Cs are need to make some personnel changes.

It'll be interesting to see how the Hawks' rebuild process will go.:Danny:

Dude, do you ever get tired of carrying your fanbase on here? It's like you are Isaiah and your teammates on the court are Rozier, Young, Zeller and Jerekbo. KevJ is Young.

I agree with everything you said. Everything. That's exactly what I think the C's need to do.

If I were the Beltics, I would probably trade down with Sac. for picks #5 and #10...

Fultz may or may not be a game changer but I'll take two top 10 picks in a good draft. Of course they'll get somebody in free agency with 30 million in space.

For my Hawks... it's hard decision after hard decision.

Please enlighten me what he said about Horford that I haven't been even saying
