He would never have done this under Rick Carlisle. The Ellis-Isle connection being broken had severe ramifications for all involved

Monta isn't alone. Maybe the two of them can hang out and stuff.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!

Follow-up, the team tried to cover it up by taking down the video and editing it out, and then the guy basically went "You don't understand, it was a misunderstanding."

Presumably the plan is to take Jackson at 3 and kick assets down the line to keep open a perpetual "maybe next year" window in which Ainge can't be fired and hope never dies. It's not really the worst plan I've ever heard, most fanbases would kill for that. And if you think the Warriors are unbeatable, planning for 2-3 years of 2nd-3rd round exits and good regular seasons followed by a whole new crop of high picks maturing is actually smart. But it's the nba gming equivalent of edging

If I was wrong and Butler+Hayward is happening, I look forward to at least having been right when they win 60 games and knock out the Cavs and my wife never shuts the gently caress up about the goddamn Celtics

If they actually do this to go for a "Win Now" mode then this is a very good trade. It leaves them with extra picks to fill out the team.

If they want to build to win in 4 years, I don't think they'll be in a position to have a chance to draft a guy like Fultz again. (This is a good post to look at again in 4 years).
