Don't you think it's funny how this literally happens every single time the Celtics fail to land someone? They are the biggest "WE TRIED" team in the league and it's reaching the point of comedy. At a certain point you need to poo poo or get off the pot and Danny seems to refuse to do so.

I think the hope would be trade for George, he enjoys it, he signs long term deal.

I mean they couldn't even outbid Minnesota's pile of trash for Butler who has 2 years left and probably isn't bolting to LA.

Presumably they didn't think he would stay. Given his comments it sounds unlikely barring a Finals trip. Letting Butler go to Minny for a weak deal I won't defend, he's a real deal Star I think and would have stuck around. That was a gently caress up

Yeah. Seems like a smart move for OKC, although I wonder if Russ starts getting fed up if stars keep leaving.

Forget who I heard discussing this the other day, but I do wonder: anyone see other teams maybe overpaying for Warriors free agents , just to weaken that team any way they can? Will be interesting if Iguadola gets a big offer from another West team.

Ask the Kings how overpaying for Warriors bench players worked out

He won a championship already by pulling off a similar trade, knew when to blow up that team and make the best trade in league history to blow that up, got Isaiah Thomas for nothing and Crowder for Rondo and got to the ECF while keeping all of the picks

Why are you so impatient, I'm fairly okay with letting him do his thing

Yeah, it could have been for Boston's 2018 and 2020 pick which will likely suck along with the Clippers future pick which is lottery protected.

Trading picks to rent Paul George would be stupid as hell. If he was willing to sign an extension, sure. As is,it's incredibly short sighted and CBM is right.

The Fultz thing was dumb tho, imo and the constant leaks etc are annoying as hell. He's still a good GM and if we didn't have gamer morey I would be very jealous

Honestly if Simon is finally ready for a full rebuild, I'm okay with no picks because we'll be god awful for 3+ years. Maybe we can flip Thad Young for a back-end first and I'll get to see some fun Lance bullshit.

gently caress Victor Oladipo though.

The Hayward thing is in danger imo, maybe they sell him on the fact that the east is way more wide open now though. We'll find out Monday most likely
