So no one else sees what the actual problem is?

Far as the Trump comment, this is a Celtics Board, let's leave everyone's politics at home..

right, talent is certainly part of the issue. but you've gone on record as having been mad that Danny didnt get Blake, Aldridge, Durant, Howard, and others. so, not sure if i can take your word seriously on here.

Every player above has talent and where are they playing? Not Boston.

I'm tired of the why cant's and why not's from Ainge. If Free Agents do not want to sign here then don't waste resources trying.
The trade market over the years has been very active. Where has Ainge been?

Toronto, sound drafting, good trades and not afraid to draft Euro players.

Ainge has us all drinking the Kool-Aid

We just signed Horford. You can't pick and choose who counts and doesnt count. Who did you want Danny to trade for? Please give us some examples instead of spreading false propaganda.

Agree whole heartedly. I'm still p---ed we didn't trade Crowder for Butler because deemed Crowder "untouchable". Un-Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing-believable.

ok. so you would trade Bradley, the 3rd pick, the 16th pick, and Crowder for Butler? because that was what Chicago wanted. it wasn't Crowder for Butler. do some research.

Don't mock me with your B.S comments.
You know d@mn well Horford isn't a franchise player and is not the key to any playoff push.

Ainge had the money for Howard who is true C and controls the paint. What is the problem as constructed? No f##n interior Defense. If there was a free agent to sign howard was it, not the pipe dream Durant
 
Good teams trade picks for veteran talent.

Here you go, the full story line. Now tell me its un-Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing-believable.

5 months ago – via Twitter WojVerticalNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: Sources: Boston is engaged with the Bulls and Sixers as Celtics inch closer to going on the clock at No. 3, league sources said.

5 months ago – via Twitter KCJHoop
KC Johnson: Jae Crowder has been involved in the Bulls-Celtics talks, per a source.

5 months ago – via Twitter KCJHoop
KC Johnson: Avery Bradley also has been discussed in one permutation of Bulls-Celtics talks, per source.

5 months ago – via ESPN.com
Nick Friedell: Bulls have made it clear throughout league that they expect to get a serious haul in return for any potential deal for Jimmy Butler. Picks and young, controllable assets. They didn’t feel a potential Boston deal was strong enough.

4 months ago – via Boston Herald
There is strong evidence the Celtics could have made a trade for Butler, but neither side felt what was being offered by the other was worth doing. If it had simply been a matter of getting Butler to get Durant, the C’s would have overpaid and done it. But that’s where the story changes. According to sources close to Durant, one of the things that interested the former league MVP about the Celts, as we’ve stated before, is the core that has been gathered. He was very interested in playing with a cohesive and complementary unit, which is what he is getting in Golden State.

4 months ago – via Boston Herald
The initial key for the Bulls was the third overall pick from last month’s draft and the ability to select Providence guard Kris Dunn. The aforementioned sources added that the Celtics were willing to add one player from their rotation when Chicago wanted a second.

1 month ago – via The Ringer
A league source with knowledge of the situation indicated to me that Chicago also demanded an additional starter-level player in the deal.

Is it still "un-Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing-believable" now?

Give me a break. You guys are clueless.

I'm not mocking you at all. You're the one with the BS comments. Not me. I'm speaking completely logical and with sense.

Horford isn't a franchise player. Sure. But Howard? Howard is a franchise player now? LOL. The same 31 year old injury plagued Dwight Howard?? Give me a break.

Horford is an excellent fit for this team. He makes everyone better. He's a true veteran talent. Dwight is nothing but a crybaby. Like you.

Btw, you have yet to list any veteran talent Danny should have traded picks for. So, again, another BS comment from you bono.

[walker834]

I'm guessing he is talking about when teams double Isaiah. This thread is still silly though.

[walker834]

We just need to be a tougher team in general imo.  All these injuries and people overanalyzing and taking their sweet ass time is the real issue. Let's play some basketball.

[NHCelticsFan]

I think one issue with the C's is that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.  The C's are a very good team, but lack that one player that is a true elite talent.  Thomas is VERY good, but not quite at that level.

The Celtics have a few stars (Thomas, Horford, and I think we can add Bradley to that list) and an incredible group of role players.  Add that one elite talent and they are a force.  Without that individual we are going to struggle to beat the top teams.

Just my two cents 

[walker834]

I think people are overthinking it.  I can't even listen to csn anymore.  I don't know what it is with people nowadays but they overanalyze everything. It's pseudo intellectual nonsense.

Most of these people couldn't say anything perceptive if they were hit in the head with a basketball either.

[GreenWarrior]

Detroit is not doing what other teams have been doing to us tonight.

[Ogaju]

teams are sagging off us and giving us the three, and we are settling for the three ball.

[walker834]

It's because Horford is back, they aren't doubling isaiah.

[Bobshot]

But seriously, the interior D/rebounding

Bingo! But the Boston media wouldn't dare criticize Ainge or Stevens. Or Henry of the Red Sox.

After all, the Emperor doesn't have to wear any clothes. Especially if he owns the Globe.
