CB = Speculation nation
Tough week with Ainge in the presser the other day telling the media they overdid reporting on pretty much every rumor.
George is available. Indy has no leverage. That is what we know everything else is just yack.
I can only add this. Ainge would prefer George over Hayward. OMG! We don't get both?!
Getting both is a "win now" strategy which we all fall into this time of year.(I certainly do. This roster was annihilated by the Cavs).
What the get both George/Hayward discussion is about is, "win now."
I don't think that is how Ainge sees it. Of course if it all comes together a la Garnett? Off we go, but, Ainge is working on a title roster. Watch what Ainge DOES. Kind of ignore or, at least, filter what he says.
"We will go after Hayward" is strictly media speak. He has to say it.
I will repeat he likes George more than Hayward. But, Ainge is not in "win now" mode.
Swap George for Crowder on the roster and see what happens next year? I wish he would, but that George to LA talk is kinda gross.
Ainge would trade Tatum for George?...of course he would.
