Sorry guys. This is just a placeholder thread. We can fill in the blanks in 8-20 months when the irrational homerism really kicks in. Until then, this should work.
Note: Fill in as necessary
I keep reading all of this buzz (aka: unsubstantiated future rumor fabricated by hack sports writer pandering to Boston fanatics) that Danny is considering trading [Guy we will pick #16] in a package for [star player or elite prospect whose team has no interest in trading for Boston's scraps].
I feel the need to say this would be a HORRIBLE idea and I'm begging Danny Ainge NOT to do it. Under no circumstances should EVER we trade [Guy we will pick #16]!! If we do that, it will be just like [Billups or Joe Johnson] all over again!
[Guy we will pick #16] is a future star in this league! He only slipped in the draft, because of [perfectly valid draft-slipping reason based on poor performance and/or chronic injury]. Before [perfectly valid draft-slipping reason based on poor performance and/or chronic injury], he was projected to be a top 5 pick by [insert random draft blogger]. So basically, [Guy we will pick #16] should have been a top 5 pick! He was clearly the steal of the draft. If they re-did the draft today, he'd clearly be picked ahead of [random names of players picked 1-15].
I mean he's only [age of guy we will pick #16]! It would be absolutely foolish to trade [Guy we will pick #16] for [star player or elite prospect whose team has no interest in trading for Boston's scraps]. In a few years, I have no doubt that [Guy we will pick #16] will be better than [star player or elite prospect whose team has no interest in trading for Boston's scraps]. I mean, did you see what [Guy we will pick #16] did in [random summer league, preseason, d-league or garbage time performance that got completely overblown]. Flashes of brilliance!
[Guy we will pick #16] is simply getting held back by [whoever Boston's coach is], because [whoever Boston's coach is] hates young players. He clearly should be getting minutes over [player he shouldn't be getting minutes over]. The only thing [Guy we will pick #16] needs to work on is [severe talent deficiency and/or crippling weakness that will never go away] and he'll be a hall-of-famer! He reminds me a lot of [former/current star player who happens to play the same position and may or may not have struggled his first couple years]. I'm not even sure [star player or elite prospect whose team has no interest in trading for Boston's scraps] is even better than [Guy we will pick #16] right now... he just has a bigger role.
Also, [Guy we will pick #16] has a far more favorable contract. Plus, [star player or elite prospect whose team has no interest in trading for Boston's scraps] is severely overrated imho. I'm not even sure he's better than [random Boston player currently on the roster]. I'm begging Danny NOT to do it. [Guy who we will pick #16] is the future of the Boston Celtics and a key part of our future championship core.
