Ainge gotta go, he's been here 17 years... orchestrated the initial big three which was great but those roster had holes leading to only one championship. Absolutely fleeced the Nets and got so many assets, but way too many of those assets were held onto and in a sense wasted. They've made more picks than anyone in the past ~10 years with not a lot to show for it besides guys at the top who you'd expect to hit on. Ainge gets amazing value on trades, no denying that, but the hesitancy to trade unless the trade is so lopsided in your favorite is a problem.

Thankful for the one championship, but with all of the talent we've had over the years, we should have more than just one.


This isn't the NFL

You need the guy or you don't win...come on bro

The AD plan was all set up BUT since this is the NBA, LA rules. That literally destroyed Ainge's 3-4 year plan that we all followed....

Kawhi was available for Brown and the entire future, but I am good on a rental hoping that the Warriors become a wheelchair squad....

Made 3 of 4 ECF with Hayward failing and Kyrie being a bitch

Roster is soooo young....Turner would have been great but not the end of the world losing a player who's never available

Why the fuck is it all doom and gloom in here. One of the youngest and most promising rosters in the league which just made an ECF

Am I missing something?

You guys seriously can’t be letting DM and Corey’s pessimistic posts get to you, can you?

Guys are calling for Ainge to get fired and talking like its all bad. Jesus christ they lost Hayward who was out much of the playoffs anyway.

this. i dont think we could have fetched much for g but who knows. knicks or hornets would have overpaid in a sign and trade deal.

anyways more touches for kwalk, jayson, and jaylen. we added the best outside shooter from the draft. and a white boy...

So Zach Lowe reported that the Celtics found very few trade partners for Turner.
Plan was to acquire and flip him.

That's all I could think of really...it simply had to be that he doesn't fit Brads* system unless he is a 12-18 minute guy

I lol'ed. Other than Mike Zarren/Buford, and maybe a few select other GM's, Ainge is one of the best. You're tripping and acting like every other overreactive Reddit Celtic fan. Patience is the key.

For all intents/purposes the GSW only won 2 rings with the KD/Dray/Steph/Klay team. Winning championships are hard as fuck, people act like you can put all the talent in the world on a team, and it looks good on paper, but we've been fooled by roses gold before.

The reason why you have so many shitty franchises that are overpaying or cap locked to mediocrity like the Pistons finally just paying off Smith's contract even though he hadn't been on the team since 2015. We're actually pretty lucky, but we cannot keep pushing back moves. We need to eventually start making clear choices for what our roster outlook will be.

I think we should also keep a eye out for Donovan Mitchell.

Is it alarming that the Nets after being absolutely trade raped are rising to become potentially more of a contender than the Celtics?

Personally I think trading Hayward for Turner was an absolute no brainer move. He isn’t perfect but he does a lot for the Celtics offense to open up more playmaking and lobs with the departure of one of their best playmakers (Hayward)

I think we've all come to realize that Turner isn't really that great of a center, and if he was, the Pacers wouldn't be giving him up.

The Pacers are looking to move on because Sabonis and Turner aren’t a good fit. Turner is ideally a stretch 4 and Sabonis fits that same mold
