What Danny Ainge did to IT finally came back to haunt him

[2Quik4UHoes]

So AD's Daddy has no issues with his boy playing for a team that got rid of Shaq? A player who actually won them 3 championships.

Shaq wanted to leave idiot. And he was overcharging the Lakers by $10 million while “healing on company time”. You telling me the older player that had one more year of dominance left, that went out of his way to disrespect the team owner, was supposed to get preferential treatment over a younger player that was 100% focused on basketball?

Please leave the old tired talking points in the last decade. Shaq ran himself out of town.

waiting for media and cacs to call rich paul and AD selfish and entitled and ignore owner loyalty

 

[phillycavsfan]

Breh, IT is over it, but apparently a Philly fan isn’t.

Neither is Anthony Davis or his pops, apparently.

Lamar Odom wasn’t anywhere close to the face of the franchise and he didn’t hurt himself putting it all on the court. It is different

Don’t overstate IT’s importance to that team. You think they stacked all these assets and hoarded all the cap space to build around him? He was a placeholder til when guys like Kyrie became available, til the day someone like AD would want out of NO. Odom helped win 2 rings for LA. Thomas was a Celtic for 2.5 years. Thomas was the transitional champion of the Celtics. He was just a temp.

 

[Drip Bayless]

But every other GM of every other team would’ve done the same thing
It’s retarded to expect loyalty from both players and organizations, neither give much of a fukk about each other

IT was the face of that team and left it all on the court for them. Odom was 3rd best player on the lakers keep reaching

So you all blame the Celtics for not maxing out an injured 5'9 no defense playing guard? Of course they traded his ass...I would have too.

Every other team would have done the same thing. There are no loyalty contracts.

So, the C's should've signed IT to that max deal he was asking for

He's played only 32 games since being traded. Is there even a timeline for his return this year?

Cats used to shyt on Rose and the Bulls for him being hurt and being on a max deal.

The Celtics were right Business wise to not give him the max.

The issue is they ran dude into the ground and made his injury worse and then discarded him. That’s what players are mostly upset about.

He had the option of not playing, he chose to play through it.

If he didnt play celtics/mnedia would say hes selfish and only cares about his contract.

BULLshyt! They weren't building with the idea of making IT the face of that team. You act like Boston owed him a max deal for all his troubles. He wouldn't have been there regardless. The timing sucked, but when it is ever a good time to blindside someone with a trade?

 

[mastermind]

No he didn’t

You would call him soft and Sully from Andover would be calling him a lazy N-word.

32 year old Shaq was still more valuable than 28 year old IT.

Would you give IT a 200 million dollar contract? Nobody with any common sense would. He got traded for a far better player. Thats business.

I would've respected AD Sr. if he just said "I dont want my son playing in that cold, racist, devil induced city." He can push him toward the Lakers without bringing up the Celtics loyalty.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

It would’ve made no sense for Boston to offer IT a major deal and y’all know that

 

[tremonthustler1]

If he didnt play celtics/mnedia would say hes selfish and only cares about his contract.

If he had a fukked up hip, who would hold that against IT and look good for saying that?

 

[Listen]

So paying Hayward avg for la fitness looking ass was the "right move" huh

Stock all that cap space and picks and pay gordon Hayward

fukk the stupid ass celtics

So signing a 6’8 27 year old wing who played at least 72 games year in all but his second season and who was throwing up 20/5/4 with great %’s for the prior 3 years was a bad idea because he broke his leg after they signed him?????

LMAO
