No they didn't, Ainge trying to save face lmao

Huh? They turned down four first round pics and instead chose oladipo and sabonis. That makes no sense whatsoever.

[Hoops Czar]

Sam Presti effect, tbh.

[SAGirl]

So Paul George, Chris Paul and butler all got traded and the best player received was oladipo?

Pretty much.. wow

[marinoman]

Do they think sabonis will turn into a better version of his dad? Does the pacers gm hate Boston?

[Chinook]

Ainge is such a f . You can't keep pulling the same tactic over and over.

[raybies]

what future?? murray and fathead and washed up vets at end of their careers like gasol isn't a future for the four year window of Kiwi's prime after which the window is shut for good. At least with PG you have a legit chance to ring next year and that's a shot you have to take when the alternative will be PAFTO striking out in 2018 with any legit star free agent and finishing Kiwi's prime with more 55 win second round ceiling seasons

I'm gonna wait to see how we do in Free agency first but I think right now we'll be a 2-3 seed regardless and we have Kawhi. Same thing happened to Duncan after David and we developed Parker and Ginobili. Who knows how they faired anywhere else. Now we have Murray, White and maybe Simmons. We are not some team. PATFO has proven time and time again to find talent. Have to see them fail before I don't give them the benefit of the doubt.

Everyone else playing chess while RC blows into the Breathalyzer.

lol. Brilliant. RC's next phone call should be to Kawhi. Picture RC sitting in a very cheap motel room with a half drunk bottle of cheap whiskey sitting on the table and a dirty glass next to it, then cue Bradley Cooper phone call from The Hangover where RC starts to conversation with by Kawhi by saying "ahh, we ed up." After he hangs up the phone hoping Kawhi doesn't have thoughts of bolting, he downs another glass, stands up and straightens up his crooked tie before departing to go to his meeting with Andre Iguodala.

All these teams mortgaging their future for nothing.........FOOLS GOLD

They didn't mortgage anything.

[rastaspur]

Ignorant ass hat. That racist joke really back fired

You seem to be re ed.

That villa miseria you live in must really be bad. It's made you a salty dude. Swim over the river to america. I will let you cut my grass to get you on your feet.

There's some racism for ya.

[tonight...you]

Popeye looks like a black sloth from goonies

Hey You GUUUUUUYSSS!!!!

[FkLA]

Oladipo was an Indiana Hoosier in college. In a small market like that, little dumb connections like that matter, imo.

His ultimate goal is to own every 1st round pick in the 2023 draft.

[Nathan89]

34yo Ibaka transformed into prime PG13. GM doing work.

[objective]

I'm getting worried now.

RC might be swimming in it enough to make a bad situation worse, like trading LMA for Brandon Knight.

[Spurs9]

So are we down to hoping Melo gets traded for LMA yet?

if the master plan is to hope two piece from this heap of a roster turn into two HOF players drafted by Presti then PAFTO is already waving the white flag

Not quite...but give it a couple of hours..

Is it really a bad move to not bite on PG, who won't stay, and give up all those great picks? Now he can wait for someone else to become available who might actually stay. Better than getting rid of them, losing him next year, and ending up with nothing at all.

And who drafted Hill who turned into Kawhi. That's even better GMing tbh

Man, I can't believe it. I want to keep LaMarcus Aldridge now. I don't want any of this trash that is floating around. I'd rather keep LMA over most of it.

[TimDunkem]

Send TP, please, RC.
