  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
Danny Ainge folded and gave Cavs a 2020 second-rounder.

Now teams are going to rip off Danny Ainge when they deal with him in the future.  ::) ::) ::)

But the plus side is...Ainge became a lenient man again after having a reputation of fleecing a team for multiple first-round lottery picks.
it's a 2nd rounder...

come on

it's fine
Yeah, I mean the only reason we couldn't trade our '18 or '19 2nd round picks is because they were top 55 protected and we are now very likely going to lose them. Hopefully the '20 pick ends up in that same 56-60 range.

I absolutely agree that Ainge shouldn't have to given anything else up, but showing some good will - especially in an impossible situation dealing with immature little babies - may actually help him. Cleveland, on the other hand...well, they may never complete another trade again.

Edit: crap, I guess it's Miami's...bummer, but still pretty irrelevant. Just happy it wasn't a first.

YEA!
Kyrie is coming to Boston!
Great job, Danny Ainge!
When I saw Irving destroying us in the playoffs, I thought, "Man, I wish he was our point guard."

Good. Legit superstar point guard, Hayward and playing time for Tatum. Lakers pick could still be 2-5 and Boston has their own pick

Plus no more speculation about Thomas and his hip. Cleveland's problem

Irving, Brown, Heyward, Tatum, and Horford.
I can hardly wait.

Good luck trying to pick up the scoring for not having IT for most of the season.

Because holding out for a week for an asset that gives you maybe a .01% chance of drafting the next IT in 3 years was totally worth it.

I get your point but the Cavs FO are a bunch of clowns.

I would bet for the way the Cavs negotiated that the Nets pick will end up out of the top 3 and the Lakers pick will end up 2 or 3. Keep in mind this is still Cleveland.

So looks like Boston traded BKN 2018, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, and 2020 second round pick for Kyrie Irving. KYRIE. FREAKING. IRVING. SUPERSTAR TALENT.

Danny Ainge with a highway robbery again.

Bingo.
Ainge wasn't going to re-sign IT anyway.
