They did it!

[LkrFan]

Championship! :lol

:lol Jordan

[baseline bum]

Why has Woj not tweeted that shit yet? Should be interesting the see the Celtics with a non-malcontent running the show. Also will be interesting to see what they might be able to snag in a sign and trade with Kyrie.

[baseline bum]

:lol Jordan

Might as well tank when Walker can't even get you to the playoffs.

[Texas_Ranger]

so the celtics will be pretty much the same as last year. 2nd round exit team.

[Thread]

Walker is symbolism---nary substance.

[GAustex]

A right handed Isaiah Thomas?

[ducks]

Boston should trade rovier

[FrostKing]

Auerbach I mean Ainge does it again

[Bynumite]

A right handed Isaiah Thomas?


Exactly what I was thinking. They didn't pay IT to now pay a slightly more athletic IT :lol

[GAustex]

Kemba be more durable and less of a diva.

Kemba’s style of play isn’t that drastically different than Kyrie. Volume shooter, lots of isolation or PNR action where he ends up shooting tough, long jumpers. Not really much of a defensive upgrade either. But I’d expect he’s a not as weird, easier to get along with, and likely more coachable. He probably won’t say crazy shit to reporters all the time. He’s seems like a plus character guy. And that could make a big difference with his teammates. Talent wise, I’m not convinced it’s a big difference either way. And the loss of Horford ends up being a bigger loss to the team dynamics.

[spurraider21]

so ainge is landing kemba for 4-141 instead of paying kyrie 5-189

ainge continuing to play chess tbh, and spurstalk continues to doubt him (as usual) at every turn. if hayward didnt break his leg we have a very different impression imo

[Clipper Nation]

Isn't this blatant tampering by the Celtics? Free agency hasn't even started yet.

[Laker_1995]

Kyrie to Brooklyn. Dlo renounced . kd next

i dont get it either tbh... unless they've just independently confirmed from the 2 camps that kemba prefers celts provided max offer is there, and that celts intend to offer him a max deal as a priority FA

[KobesAchilles]

Charlotte opening the path to trade for Demar DeRozan. Signing Rozier at the cheap once Boston dumps him. Having an all star shooting guard at the 2 and with Batum at the 3 and MKG as the small ball 4. The Bobcats are back baby. Jordan about to get that executive of the year award.

[Laker_1995]

Celtics got the perfect guy. Kyrie a goof. They came up

[HarlemHeat37]

Kind of an irrelevant move in the grand scheme, unless Tatum and Brown live up to their potential(Kemba is a #3 guy, ideally)..

Signing Gordan Hayward killed Boston, one of the worst moves of the decade..

[Spurtacular]

Kyrie Irving Pt. II

Still trying to cherry pick a major injury.

[gambit1990]

this gets my stamp of approval.

[HarlemHeat37]

Blame it on whatever you want, it's been one of the worst moves in recent history..

Stevens force-feeding him was arguably even worse than Kyrie's issues..

[DC23]

Not as talented as Kyrie but will play hard every possession and help his teammates get better. Celtics now need to replace Hortford, Rozier, and Morris.

[Spurtacular]

No. It's one of the worst outcomes. For all we know, the move was great in and of itself.

[therealtruth]

Smartest move the Hornets have made in a while was not maxing him. What would be even better would be getting something for him in a sign-and-trade.

Agreed everyone makes excuses because we feel bad for Hayward and or overrated Stevens like I did...

Dude was a rich man's Chandler Parsons (pre injury for both guys)... That is not worth a max to the Celts when u building a title contender with all the picks Ainge had...
Kemba is a nice signing but to me forcing Tatum to be secondary playmaker was what was best in the long run... If he is the blue chip prospect I think he was why have Kemba and Hayward (its, only thing Hayward still does well) block his development? If he just gonna be a mid range scorer/spot up shooter... should have traded him for Kawhi or AD

[ambchang]

Harlem thanking the voodoo dolls to help him with his racist theories. :lol

Time to add more chicken blood to the brew.

Boston's situation really shows how difficult team building can be. Trading Kyrie for IT was a good move, but how could they have known there'd be chemistry problems with the young guys? Hayward was the best of the second tier SFs, and suffered a gruesome injury five minutes into his first game. Sometimes basketball is like poker, where you can go all in on a bet you have a 75% chance of winning, but you still lose.

[DAF86]

Meh, doesn't move a single needle for anybody.
