Isn't ROC nation in deep with Brooklyn?
Jay-z is from Brooklyn. That's about it. They're clientele is pretty spread out.
jay-z use to be small owner of bkln and had to sell his part b/c of this agency, I think. I could have it wrong, I really dont remember it clear enough. I dont really remember because my only interest in the agency was because James Young signed with them when we drafted him.
But it's a partnership with CAA and they don't have a history of steering clients to specific teams.
Doesn't matter though. People are going to infer what they want into this.
Now that Kyrie is gone is it okay for us to criticize him....
what team did kyrie sign with?
He is not under contract with any team right now. So is it okay to be objective about him now?
Rofl. It’s really funny when a fan calls their opinion objective
Well? He is no longer a Celtic can we talk about him now?
Nobody is stopping you. There’s even a Kyrie complaint thread.
My take is Ainge got greedy and messed up a good thing by trading for the malcontent. Now his plan is up in smoke. Kyrie was never a true celtic. I say good riddance to Kyrie.
Look, you might be right. I was probably willing to overlook Kyrie's flaws because I wanted us to win.
I don't know that Ainge got greedy. The good thing was ruined by IT's hip anyway.
Good point. I was against the Irving trade, and I'd still be against it if it were about all players at top health and ability. But the severity of the Thomas injury makes that all moot. Whether Ainge got greedy or not, or made the right move for the long term, is no longer relevant, because Thomas isn't Thomas.
He got greedy because Kyrie was never in the plan... the plan was to keep getting assets from New Jersey and then go in for the big splash. He got greedy spent the Brooklyn 1st IT and multiple players for the malcontent. Now the malcontent is going to Nets for nothing, zilch, nada, so this makes the Nets trade a little more even. Mean Cs pretty much 'gave' the Nets back one of their picks.
You undercut your own argument, as Irving was certainly a big splash. What you call greed is precisely what the plan was in the first place. The amassing of assets in order to gain a top player was what was intended.
Now, if you want to argue about the specific person to be gotten, I'd be on the side of not choosing the petulant, balky-kneed, point guard who's more of a top 10-20 kind of player than the top 1-5 guy that he seems to think he is.
YEah, I don't see how DA was greedy. We didn't really give up a lot of our assets for Irving that would tipped the scales getting AD. Crowder most likely would have been gone or regressed, and same with IT.
The nets pick is the only thing that MAY have been worth something, but DA would have had to draft that pick just right, Sexton was decent on a bad team, not something that would really tip the balances in a trade, unlike if it worked out better with IRving who is not a chip, but a reason for AD to stay.
If DA can't keep Irving, or get AD, I wouldn't jump down his throat about it. He made moves to get Smart/Brown/Tatum all who can be big parts of a big trade, plus a handfull of picks. He can't force team chemistry, or a team to like his players in a package.
Worse Case is we build off of Brown and Tatum, and if DA can bundle three picks and Williams/Yabu to jump up in the draft another young prospect pg, have Hayward and Horford be the mentors, and use theMEmph pick on a young big next year, we are good in a coufple years.
I mean it's not like we've been the Knicks while we've been trying to rebuild.
