Toronto traded two 1st rounders just to get beaten in the 1st round by the Bucks.

Lol and the Raptors are now down 39-15. WOOF.

Ibaka with 0 rebounds in 12 minutes. People on here would be screaming for Danny's head if he traded a 1st for a rental on Ibaka and got this...

Even if his price was "high", could have had Noel, or Nurkic for fairly cheap.

Noel is also a FA this summer so in a sense you could have had a "first hand look" at him before the summer.

Wow Pacers are choking this.

Now it's 87-77, lead down to 10. 2 minutes left in 3rd.

They both would've been rentals if the goal is to clear cap this summer for a run at a Max player...

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
The Bucks are literally up by 30 points in the 2nd quarter.

50 to 20.

LOL.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Neither are little Brad's system type players, so they will never be Cs.

He ONLY wants bigs who can spread the floor.

In retrospect, KO is a Brad type player. The Greek Freak, not so much back then. Now that pick makes sense to me as to why it happened.

Well, as we're seeing, that pretty much won't work in the post season.

Chicago is showing us that right now.

Milwaukee, Atlanta and Indiana can use their size to intimidate us, and even Philly could be on the verge in a few years with their size as well. Celtics need to counter and there needs to be some bruiser in here who can rebound and play interior defense.

Hope Little Brad starts to get it: Butler-ball WILL NOT WIN with the big boys in the NBA.

And he better learn to put his big boy pants on and coach "difficult" players.

Little Brad afraid of the Boogie man. Thtat's why he is not here.

And that's the difference between a good GM and an average GM. Ainge knew his team wouldn't contend this year even if he made a few trades. If he had traded for some of these guys and we were still getting crushed in the playoffs everyone would blame him for ruining our chemistry and wasting our draft picks on rentals.

So does Paul George get sick of everything after Indiana loses this game and possibly get swept... enough to demand a trade to Boston this summer and agree to a long term commitment?  :laugh:

UPDATE: Cavaliers lead and wow, looks like now Indiana will get blown out
