Most places in the NBA don't superstar free agents as There's not that many of those guys to begin with... It's still the organizations job to put forth the effort to aquire said players
What Danny Ainge did to IT finally came back to haunt him
- Thread starter ALonelyDad
- Start date
You don't let severely injured players step on your court... Your job as a GM is to protect your assets not exploit them.... Obviously you and Ainge feel definitely on this topic and the players around the Leauge have taken note
All that other juelzing rationalizing blaming the player for your own sleezy actions shyt you can save for the birds tbh.... My opinion on this doesn't even matter at the end of the day broadie... It's the players who your team covets feeling the same way I do that you should be concerned about...period
IT was looking for $200 Milly and was going to be a free agent breh. They were talking to him about 3 years, $100 million and he was talking about max and the brinks truck.
If they didn’t trade him for Kyrie, but chose not to pay him and let him walk, guess what, he’d still have a fukked up hip, he’d still be on a on year deal in Denver. Would that make the Celtics “loyal”? It seems like the only way people would think they were loyal is if they maxed his ass regardless or if they forced him off the floor, even though he wanted to play to help his max case.
Obviously the people in AD's camp say otherwise .... But hey.... Whatever you need to tell yourself to help you live with that sleazy piece of management your GM put on display for the basketball world my Caucasian brother.... Good luck to you fellas moving forward
If he doesn’t want to play for the Celtics in their current iteration, then in the grand scheme whatever happened with Isaiah means nothing. He wasn’t going to come here regardless. He wants to be a Laker and that’s his prerogative

All I know is Bron peasants better not say another negative word about KD going to GSW
Dawwwg Dawwwg stooooop.... You're trying to convince the wrong person to buy Into your sleazy management moves that we all know debilitated a players career....
I'm not the one you need to change the mind of tho at the end of the day... Its The PLAYERS who you want that feel the same way and it's apparently going to cost you in acquiring AD... The juelzing is only you talking to yourself at this point

Help myself with what? Were the optics bad on the trade because of what IT was going through? Yep. Was it a bad trade for the team? Absolutely not, and anybody who argues otherwise is probably mentally retarded.
And far as Ainge goes, if you think I'm one of his apologists then you need to do your googles
"Mentally retarded" .... And with 0 interest in playing for Boston Basketball just like AD.... As I said... Good luck and godspeed
No it was not a good trade. If you didn't ruin IT's back, and kept him....you would have had a very good chance at beating bron and going to the finalsHelp myself with what?

Look at kyrie's contributions:
First year injured
Second year will lose out to raps and bucks
Then bounces to NY
They would've beat Bron regardless if just one of Brown & Rozier didn't have the worst game of their careers
We don't know what would've happened if IT didn't get hurt. He might have been traded regardless because Ainge didn't want to give into his contract demands. There's no guarantee he gives a 30 year old 5'8 PG the max or close to it.
Also you might want to wait for them to actually lose to the Raptors or Bucks and for him to leave free agency before presenting arguments as if they're factual events that have already occurred

Celtics fans don't want AD on the team. Pelicans are 23-29 with his services, empty stat machine and wherever he lands will see that

I mean the Celtics without Kyrie went to the ECF, they don't need Kyrie or AD if we being real. Kyrie gonna go to the Knicks and get beat by Boston every year?

Can any one of the AD haters even explains what this means in this case?
To me, "empty stat machine" usually means one of these things:
Puts up a bunch of points/assists but on crap efficiency.
or
Puts up a lot on offense but gives it all back on defense.
or
Puts up easy stats in blowout losses against teams that aren't trying.
None of those seem to describe AD to me. So how can it be just "empty stats"? What makes his stats magically worth less than other players' stats? There are a lot of great players who were stuck on bad teams forever and then became winners the moment they got to a better situation.
How do expect anyone to realistically respond to such fire power?All I know is Bron peasants better not say another negative word about KD going to GSW

He's putting up numbers and the team isn't winning and he has more than enough talent to have this team over .500. Call it what you want, why is his team under .500? LeBron can take a team with scrubs and make the playoffs every year.
Harden has the Rockets way over .500 with dudes that are D-level talents. What's AD's excuse?
