LMA was actually on a deal where he made less than Steven Adams, Marc Gasol and a bunch of other overpaid big menLMA isn’t like Timmy, Manu, or David West who gave the Spurs a discount to help the team get players. He got two enormous contracts and I feel he did his best. I would be fine with him staying home rehabbing to get ready for FA next year. But to buy this guy out and still see him in the playoffs on Portland, Lakers hitting buckets against you while still cashing your checks.... Only the Spurs

It's simultaneously astounding and unsurprising to me that a team on the verge of losing a supposed star for nothing but cap space, with an imbalanced roster, gaping hole at the four and what should be a clear path to a trade for either Collins+ or Gordon+, is somehow not being mentioned in the sweepstakes for either.
Spare me the "CIA Pop" routine. There's nothing secretive about this predictable, stale organization.
It was either Lowe or Goldsberry who said this week that they don't even make calls and sometimes don't return them either. Flat out negligence in one of the 3 areas of team building, when they're already limited in another due to market and organizational ethos and have artificially limited themselves in the other due to a refusal to do a full scale rebuild.
Supposedly the ask for Aaron Gordon is a first-round pick and a "good young player."
don't forget LMA was an All-Star for 3 of these years. If you take into considerations that top players were making over 30 million per year it was still a good deal that he was on

This would have been the Harrison Barnes showcase game in Boston, except for one thing: The Kings, as I wrote this week, are showing strong signs that they'll try to compete with him in their core. That situation and 11 others here, at @TheAthletic theathletic.com/2450395/2021/0…
Another trend for Heat
P. Achiuwa PF Has not entered game A. Iguodala SF Has not entered game M. Harkless SF Has not entered game
Lol Aaron Gordon is not worth that much
Precious, Iggy and Harkless for LMA works in the trade machine. Spurs would just have to move one player, probably Lyles
Celtics loose again to the Kings I wonder how many more losses they going to have before Ainge calls us with a trade package?
I give it another year before Tatum asks to be traded. Time has run out for them. LMA or Rudy ain’t saving that sinking ship.
Heat also lost against Indy with Sabonis cooking Olynyk
‘Depends on the team, you put him on the Warriors or Jazz for example; he could be a game changer.
Rockets played everybody they had tonight to end their L streak...still lost...at home...against Detroit. Holy cow.
Gordon would be a good, even a great 3rd option, and probably lose a little value because of recent surge of super teams when 3 stars join up (eg Heat/Warriors/Nets). In saying that, I can't think of a team in the playoffs that wouldn't want Gordon on the contract. He is a dependable shooter, defender, rebounder at that 4 and 3 position.
I would not mind Gordon, But now at that Price.
If we can get him at a lower price, it'll be worth the risk. Let Chip and our Development team work with him and see we can unlock anything. Even if we can't he still a postive at the Defensive end.
Ainge has DL been an atrocious GM the last few years. He's let so much of a good team walk for absolutely nothing -- guys like Al Horford and Hayward. Absolutely nothing in return. Plus his draft picks haven't been good. He ed Isiah Thomas over so FAs don't want to go there, either.
Brad Stevens keeps saying so, but he could very well vamoose over to Indiana U.'s college basketball job. This Boston team is cooked.
I would leave if I were him. He gets a sweet 10 year contract over at IU. He is in charge of the players and doesn’t have to deal with whiney players and a GM who has no idea how to actually build a championship team. Plus Celtics fans are the worst. They feel like they are en led to win a championship after winning once in the past 35 years.
I have no idea why he wouldn't leave. Boston's future looks pretty bleak and there's no way he's there for another couple of years, with a likely house cleaning coming up with both Ainge and the coach going. Only thing I can imagine is that he's had the Duke job in mind for a while, once Ratface finally leaves. With Indiana he'd be treated as a god, just that the program has sucked for a long time.
I think the most logical trade scenario to get Gordon would be, LMA+Walker+Lyles+1st for Gordon+Ross.
two trades that could be possible...and that could take us two Texas Univesity guys.
Lyles for Culver (that's the man out in Minny; makes a little more money than Lyles; could be an investment in our shooting coach hands);
LMA for Thompson and/or Theis (gives Boston a playoffs big and in any case a big expiring, worth the same of their trade exception, freeing more cap considering Thompson was on a two year deal).
I’d do Gay, Walker IV and a future 1st for Gordon and Bamba. Much cheaper alternative to paying John Collins max money and lots of upside still with both of those guys.
Whichever team attains DC isn't going for LMA
