Seems like something you need to see play out before calling it horrible but people want Ainge to be bad so sure, he's the worst

If IT's hip is hosed, that's one thing But I think this is as close to a best-case scenario for Cleveland in terms of getting a good return for Kyrie. This is the best trade package for a "star" all year, and Irving is pretty comfortably worse than George, Butler, Cousins and Paul

That's a lot of assets for Mr. Daniel Ainge to cough up. What were some of the deals available in the last 12 months that he passed on?

A team with a point guard rotation of IT, DRose, and Jose Calderon is going to the Finals. (unless LeBron gets hurt)

Danny Ainge hoarded his assets and in the end still had to give up a core piece. Tell me when the riots outside of TD Garden start

Unless IT collapses, I don't think swapping IT and Kyrie really moves the needle in a Boston-Cleveland series. Not to say that Boston isn't capable of beating Cleveland! Brad is still a boy genius and Hayward is a big addition Cleveland was probably going to collapse next year anyway

Lol both of these things could've easily happened without doing a thing. Instead, they gave their biggest competitor depth and a really good shot at the top pick in next year's draft.

straight up brolic posted:They gave up their best asset, their best player from last season, and their best role player. I think they could still be good because Haywards amazing, but the Cavs clearly won. It's really amazing, Danny Ainge spends years hoarding assets like a dragon and then decides to break the bank for... Kyrie Irving? it's so perplexing.

Artic Puma posted:It's pretty weird that two teams that met in the conference finals and are decently likely to be back there are trading with each other, right? It's an older style trade from back when teams both traded good players. IT is the 2017 NP champion. The Cavaliers are most definitely going to the 2018 finals now. Yea, IT has trash D even worse than Kyrie but his offense makes up for it easily. IT + LBJ = super elite scoring. xbilkis posted:Like gently caress...they weren't willing to move that pick for Jimmy Butler or Paul George while keeping IT, but they're fine with this???  sportsgenius86 posted:Hahaha Danny Ainge finally pulls the trigger when the gun is in his own mouth Danny Ainge   suicide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVm88MX2Gw4

A PG rotation of IT, Rose, and Calderon where Calderon might be the healthiest of the 3
