IMO the Celts don't need to trade away two all-stars and a lottery ticket, and restructure a team that should be able to compete at the highest levels for years, for  KAT and Dieng.


Dont kid yourself - Celts move Tatum in a heartbeat for Towns.

Gordie's been good - they would need to replace him with Gordie light.

The "nahhhh" is from Wolves end but the #1s make it at least something to consider

HEH

Changing the debate again.

SSDD

No one ever said the Celts would not trade Tatum for KAT.

However as posted earlier, under NBA cap rules that trade can't be done this year.
 

As already posted I see no need to overpay to reconstruct a very good team.

As currently constructed the Celts are #2 in the East and can play with anyone and with some luck could go very deep into the post-season.

Real deep

The TW are well out of the play-offs as currently constructed and might hit the lottery.

The proposed trade might have been helpful to both teams.

So its was a proposed trade that satisfies NBA cap rules.


Yeah, so what?  Wolves piss on it.

So, I pissed on it first.

I think the Celts as constructed are positioned to win a title this year.

If they stay healthy, they might fall short, but no one will want them in a 7-game series.

PS: Oh, and Julius Randle, as well, if you factor in the cap space we saved in renouncing Mudiay and Kanter, and re-shuffled into our power forward's contract.

Oh NOW you like cap space from dumping Kanter.  Something i still get called out for by tweedle dees and dumm.

the friggin cojones on this one

Just delineating how it all broke down.

I believe I was always on board as a Kanter booster.  I was also a fan of Mudiay. 

When Coach Fizdale and GM Kam renounced him and Mudiay, it became, a fait accompli, did it not? 

And Kam citing ANYONE else on this forum for cajones is a real knee slapper.

Do you want Kanter back on this team with his delusions of all-star grandeur?

AD/Lakers?

Maybe.

If LBJ is not too tired by mid-May getting through the West and the other LA team.

Not too worried about the Celts, they  have a lot of young talent, they'll compete and they're fun to watch.

They play great hoops most nights.

TI-TLE

Celts still seek the big splash.  Even had they properly drafted Ball, a trade/big signing of a star(see Kyrie) needed to occur.  That's the NBA.

You're better than resorting to churlish insults. 
Kanter was a hired merc. Not a longterm guy.
But you never could see that. 
And yet you laud the use of cap space to UPGRADE to Randle.
So keep the insults coming because your substance is lacking.

heh

kid you've doubled-driibbled poor Lonzo too many times.

You and the Lakers got suckered by the hype.

And Ainge got the guy and the pick he wanted.

and the 76ers after giving up a #1 were either half-empty


or

wait for it

not yet

now

half Fultz


heh

I expect Ainge will make a move, and probably for an insurance big, but it might not be an AD sized splash.

I do not think this team needs it.

I understand you don't see it the same way.

ZERO titles is 46 years fogs your vision.

SIGH

One more time...

I did not LAUD the use of cap space to sign Randle. 

I NOTED the use of cap space to sign Randle, in referencing the final accounting on our return for trading Carmelo Anthony. 

Your 24/7 hard-on for Enes Kanter is such, I am shocked that you can navigate deployment of a zipper. 

One more time for the record.  See if you can follow the supple logic of this thought process. 

Carmelo Anthony > Enes Kanter > Doug McDermott > Chicago Bulls #2 draft pick

Doug McDermott > Emmanuel Mudiay

FINAL ACCOUNTING

Enes Kanter + Emmanuel Mudiay = Julius Randle

#2 Draft Pick = Mitchell Robinson

As DULY FUCKING NOTED....

Carmelo Anthony returns to the Garden to standing ovations.

Wherein, he faced off against the ultimate asset-return his trade yielded the Knicks + Mitchell Robinson & Julius Randle. 

As for invitation that I imbibe crow sashimi, well, that is YOUR OBSESSION. 

One last time. 

I liked Kanter's contribution, and Mudiay's as well. 

The Knicks [not Chip] decided to move on from both and their combined salaries begat Julius Randle. 

Not unlike how the Knicks [not Chip] decided to move on from the combined salaries of Kristaps Porzingis, Timmy Hardaway and Courtney Lee, which begat Bobby Portis, Marcus Morris, Taj Gibson, Elfrid Payton, Reggie Bullock and Wayne Ellington. 

During free agency, I was on record as being interested in either Julius Randle or Bobby Portis.  Was surprised we ended up with both.  Let alone Morris AND Gibson. 

David Fizdale did to Enes Kantner, what Phil Jackson did to Carmelo Anthony--devalued and denigrated them .  I DID NOT APPROVE OF EITHER SCENARIO. 

Fess Up?

I have nothing to FESS UP TO. 

Fess Parker?



King Of The Wild Frontier. 

Is it ironic that Kanter and Mudiay summed out to Julius Randle? 

It most certainly is. 

Your invitation to consume crow is duly rejected, with extreme prejudice. 

You LOATHE Enes Kanter

Duly noted, for the umpteenth time. 

GET OVER IT
