Easier to match salaries using Gibson - if Clippers want him

Problem is second rounders from good teams arent worth much and Taj doesnt come close to rating a first

Er, Clips have been starting MoHark at PF (and sometimes PatPat).  So Randle would be an upgrade.  But I guess I stick them starting Taj at C.


I actually think Harkless firs them better than Randle

Randle fits US better, since we need the lead scorer

From a couple days ago

In his recent article, Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report created several trade scenarios involving Towns. In the deal that would send him to Boston, Swartz suggested that the Celtics could offer a trade package including Jayson Tatum, Gordon Hayward, Carsen Edwards, Robert Williams III, and a 2020 first-round pick to the Timberwolves in exchange for Towns and Gorgui Dieng. The deal works on ESPN‘s NBA Trade Machine.

Of course those juicy picks from the Tatum deal arent so juicy after all,,,,hasnt lined up for Ainge as he has liked.  And jury is out on if Tatum is title pedigree

kid's obssession is unabated.


Not sure what you think I am obsessed with

I touted your guy Tatum throughout his one Duke season - and I think he is a fine pro

That you overrated the "haul" Ainge (another fave of mine) received is not my problem.

As with Trump forum, your fault is in the extremity of your viewpoint.

As you were...

You seem obssessed with Tatum, and to dwell on his poor shooting nights, ignore his many great nights, and are wholly oblivious to the widely held opinion by most neutral observers, that he is an NBA star in the making.

And you have a crying obsession to try and rewrite your idiotic hot takes on the guy.

 I overated nothing, but have merely countered your hot take on the trade. Tatum and a lottery pick for the right to draft Fultz was a major win for Ainge any way you analyze the facts.  And we now have 3 years of data.

As posted a couple of days ago Tatum has logged about 6000 minutes to Fultz 1500 since going pro.

the value received by the Celts, aside from his being a better player, the quality playing minutes is multiples (4X) of what was traded away.

You new HOT Take to distract from your original idiocy, is that Tatum has yet to prove he is title worthy is idiotic.

Should we apply that same caveat to AD, KAT, KP or Gawd forbid Lonzo?

HEH

Wake the fuck up kid.

or don't

A forward, Thybulle played his college hoops at Washington, Thybulle averaged a career-high 2.3 blocks per game as a senior, and was considered one of the best defenders available in this year's draft class.



Celtics have the midget Edwards instead of this guy - and no Baynes

Nice use of additional picks by Ainge

Tell me when these Celts get as far as Kyrie's team did

Wrong right off the bat.

the Celts received 1 pick for trading the right to Fultz.

and he was a guy you did not mention in any of your posts.

I will chalk it up to your general ignorance.

The title pedigree silliness was already dealt with (see above)

There are stars and then there are STARS

I like the two point guards

If you were willing to do any thinking at all you could conclude how good Celts might be had they not made the deal and selected a lead dog.

Jettisoning Morris and Horford may not have occurred, remember

But yeah, they are OLD - I get it.

By the way - very close to the draft Celts were going to take Josh Jackson.

They also got Kemba, which you seem to forget was the point of trading Baynes.

Are you stupid or inentionally misleading.

The picks by Ainge you mock have resulted in building a team that went from 25 wins to 2 ECF appearances. and most likely future post-season appearances.

This year the chalk was 48 wins, but as we speak, they have the 3rd best record in the NBA, and it seems they may get closer to 60 wins and poised for another deep post-season run.

I'm assuming Randle is attractive enough to LAC that they give up some decent assets for him.

But really it doesn't work well without adding a 3rd team.

I've just added LAC as another team that needs a starting PF (along with POR and UTA).  And Knix have a PF surplus.

So let's bite our nose to spite our face and send them our best PF for spare parts. 

Brilliant. 

Keep your day job. 

PS: Clips are not giving Harrell to ANYONE.  Your trade is nonsense.  As is your "muted" dismissal of Randle as a one-dimensional bum, paralleling Hamster's obsession with Kanter.  It's only forum chin music, and as such, neither here nor there, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

Ainge loves youth and Euros

In one draft alone he passed on solid 4 year collegians LeVert, Siakam and Brogdon

Hard to believe a man so short-sighted could have passed on so many great players, and still retain his job.

Yet miraculously he has rebuilt a 25 win team into a contender with a lot of drafted players and international crap shoots.

Are Celts owners bottom line guys?

Celts are filling the building so I guess they are happy.
