And the Lakers even tried to trade him.
Speaking of the Lakers, how loyal were they to Lamar Odom when he lost a family member and was in a fatal car accident and they STILL tried to trade him for CP3 and when it fell through sold his ass to Dallas?
Oh that was different
We won't ever know because being "loyal" would have been to sit him out during that playoff run to preserve his career... But instead they selfishly decided against that.... Obviously that isn't going over well with people NOT affiliated with Boston BasketballI mean, we’ve been over it, can you imagine how F’d the Cs would be right now if they stayed “loyal” to IT?....
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.
You post this and call someone else stupidSo 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
It makes no sense to die on this hill. That was a whole different Lakers front office anyway. You gotta do better than that.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.
AD Sr’s comments are going to hurt going to the Lakers imoIt’s not about the contract tho breh, he ran himself into the ground for that team and they did him like that. Shaq at that point was about to be on the downside and as I said, he himself did things that would make it nearly impossible for the Lakers to even want to retain him. It was already bad enough that Kobe was the younger, healthier, more committed player by that point.
And while I agree with the description of Boston you tellin me AD Sr. would somehow be in a better light right now? He put it perfectly, you and others are just grasping at straws. Had Shaq not been a dikk he would’ve retired a Laker but he did the most and got dealt for it. Not the same situation as IT.
paul george didn't have that problemYou post this and call someone else stupid
Was anyone thinking Hayward was going to be hooping only a year after that injury
Hes not a first optionSo 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

LA dumped Odom like garbage and left him to fukkin die but Ainge is literally Hitler for sending IT to the team that was just in the Finals that season. Does any franchise have a more shameless, frontrunning "fanbase"??
"B-b-b-b-u BAWSTON RACIST THO!!!!111 LA NOT RACIST AT ALL1!!!!"
LeBron James responds to 'n-word' slur: Racism is 'part of America'
Yea keep talkin bout that idyllic gentrified exhibition y'all got over there, no racism in sight I'm sure
I’d bet money all the players “mad” about this are Rich Paul’s clientsThe 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.
