I hope JJ signs for OKC now. Westbrook, Reddick, George. Yeah that's nice.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Yeah, Geroge went cheap but that probably gives you an indication of how likely he is to re-sign with the team that trades for him. There's no way Ainge was using assets on a rental.

 

[silverscope]

Correct.

The East is just filled with poorly run teams.

We should be in the East then

Must saying it's amusing all the hatred Ainge gets for keeping his picks.

Philly does the same thing and they're geniuses apparently.

Need a catchy slogon like trust the process and a twitter all star.

Sixers were never a 50+ win team with a bunch of great value contracts and excess assets.

The main difference is Philly has been rebuilding while Boston right now just played in the Eastern Finals and should be looking to build on that to 1 Beat the cavs, which with their current roster they can't do but if you add George to that team and I think he's the difference between Eastern Finals loss and Finals Appearance.

Wonder how we pitch to Millsap now... 'Hey Paul, want to get destroyed repeatedly in your division?'

What is PG thinking? Good luck getting the ball of Westbrick. You should've learnt from Durant's experience, no self-respecting star would want to go near WB, voluntarily anyway.

 

[Bostonian]

Sucked in Pacers (if true).

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Minor deals likely to follow!

He got traded...

PG has no say in where he's traded though.

So it's different because we're rebuilding and winning games, and philly are rebuilding and losing them?

How does the fact we got Isaiah and Al Horford for a packet of lays change what both teams are doing?

 

[stewie griffen]

We all know that's Danny leaking to save face

 

[Dez!]

A lot of armchair flogs pretending they can do Danny Ainge's job on here at the moment.

Offseason is already better than the playoffs.

We currently are doing Danny Ainge's job.

We're all doing nothing.

 

[randyzany]

He got traded...

Oh okay, he should get the hell out of there at the first opportunity that presents itself.

 

[stewie griffen]

He had no say

You certainly are thinking about nothing quite regularly.

If the Eastern Confererence All Stars wasn't a joke already...

 

[PP34]

The 50 win part is irrelevant. Not sure why people keep bringing this up. We've got the assets of a lottery team so we can build like one if we choose. If that means wasting Thomas and Horford than so be it.

And Boston initiated a rebuild in 2013, it's just a lot different to a conventional one. Please don't act like Ainge is going all in with this current team because that's clearly not the case.

George isn't the difference between us beating Cleveland either. That's really ridiculous to think that when they beat us so easily and constantly destroy us on the boards. No point giving up what could be an amazing pick for a guy who won't commit to an extension. He wants to be in LA.

Danny Ainge controls the media just like Luke Beveridge controls the umpires.

George was never our #1 target.

Funny how PG is all of a sudden some huge difference maker when he couldn't get the Pacers higher than the 7th seed in the weakest conference.

Yet if he comes to us he's taking us past a Cavs team that killed us.
