Where he would still have the same issues.

Patience . . .

Remember that Kiid doesn’t see the Celts Sixers trade as one where Ainge passed on Fultz for Tatum and a pick, but rather as one where Ainge passed on Ball. He is saying that the guy shooting .397 from the field while getting 5 boards 4 dimes and 8 points is the generational player while the guy getting 6 boards 2 dimes and 16 points while shooting that well from 3 and shooting far better closer in is the lesser player.

To make a classic Kiid ridiculous argument, it helps to start with an inarguably false premise or two.

“I don’t know if it’s a learning lesson,” Fizdale said of Ntilikina’s demotion. “I want him to keep working hard and working on the things we talk about so when his time comes again, he’s ready to go.”

go?

if I'm frank i'm ready to go to another team.

there are others who would love him on their team.

Funny.

I was just thinking the same thing about you. 

Fortunately, you are NOT Frank.

Thank you. 

I love Frank and want to see him advance, and advance as a Knick. 

The bar has been raised. 

Bud took more extreme actions when he challenged Timmy in Atlanta.  Hell, sent him down to G League. 

Fizz raised the bar for Mudiay and Burke. 

Both pined on the pine. 

Frank's turn in the bucket. 

The media, douche nozzles like Berman, and certain old women of our acquaintance, putting such an apocalyptic spin on things, doesn't help. 

But that comes with the territory. 

Please note, how Berman keeps advancing the narrative where Dotson and Ntilikina are on their way out of town as they were Jackson/Gaines picks, and not Mills/Perry picks.

Sigh.

Dare we point out how PORZINGIS was a Jackson/Gaines pick?

Even a broken crock is right twice a day.  More or less. 

[chipstern]

A POST piece which purported to have Fizdale projecting the arrival of free agents, specifically, Kyrie Irving, to NY. 

Advance Warning. 

BULLSHIT. 

You may now return to this veil of tears. 

[Nagel]

the honeymoon is OVER for me.

fuck him.

we are getting Durant, Irving, Kawhi and who did i miss?

because of our great TEAM of Dolan (cough, cough) and his group of brainiacs.

oh and it's NY.

Fuck him.  keep Frank on the bench to "GET READY"

Yawn.

You'll be missed.

Yes

Ainge passed on Ball.

Boston press never delved into that decision, since Celtics were always said to be favoring Fultz at #1.

When the deal was made not sure the suddenly soft Boston press uttered any critique - again since it appeared primo pick was coming in '18 or '19 (the pick that is now NOT coming).  This prior to Kyrie deal, which then made the Tatum deal more appealing short term

Long term is another story altogether.  Maybe in time a Boston press guy will grow some balls and ask something tough of his Aingeness.

Or maybe 1 title for Danny and OUGHT for Brad is just a-o-spiffin-k.

Heh.

[chipstern]

Yes

Singe passed on Ball.

Heh.

Uh, heh?

Kind of a willful misrepresentation of history, is it not? 

No surprise, there. 

Did not TEAM BALL and Padre BALL make it clear that The LAKERS were their ONLY CHOICE? 

Might that then explain why both Boston AND Philly passed on this generational talent? 

No, thank YOU. 

[luee]

Franky's 6 and 2 is sorely missed.

[chipstern]

Franky's 6 and 2 is sorely missed.

Mudiay looked pretty sad for a long stretch back last spring. 

All things in time.

Unless, of course, you are Nagel. 

Then, we will shelve no whine before its time.

Heh.

Perhaps you should just accept the realization that the Celts passed on both Futlz and Ball, and got the guy they wanted and a likely lottery pick as a kicker.

What's the tough question you thinik that wasn't asked Ainge?

Why did you pass on Futlz?

Ainge had him in to kck the tires but passed on Fultz, when they had IT, Rozier, and Smart as guards, but they needed another scorer/wing.

And Tatum was their guy, and they found a willing trade partner who had the currency to do the deal.

And the pick you say is not not coming, is still coming, as are 3 other 1st round picks.

Which suggests trader Danny might have some work to do.

[bodiddley]

Vonleh has looked good.
Mud looked good 1st half, then started making mistakes and trying to do too much 3Q.
Trier and Dot didn't get much time as Fizz wen with Mud-Tim a long stretch.  Knox out of sorts.

On the flip side, best I've seen Horford look this year.
Tuatm's done a lot of good stuff including some saves that won't show up in the box.
Kyrie even putting in some effort on D.

[kiiidcarter8]

Haven't been watching but all I can say is Celtics unis are absolutely gruesome.

[bankshot1]

kid's not gonna like his secret Santa present.

heh
