Danny Ainge also offered 4 #1 picks for Justice Winslow, so I'm not sure he's as infallible as people are saying now.
The interesting thing about Hayward and Irving getting injured was now the Celtics are forced to play their best defenders and it's working.

What do those numbers on the left of that tweet signify?
PATFO will be forced to deal with Maginka in LA or Sixers brass now. either ingram/kuz or fultz/saric will be all Kiwi will fetch tbh
should have made trade at deadline when they could have gotten both or at least one and all boston picks
Timestamps for the woj podcast that was linked.
Very childish, I guess?
Oh, thanks. I might listen to it then if I have time.
As for trading with Boston, if they don't want to give up any of these young guys, then the Spurs shouldn't trade with them at all. Don't even bother talking to them.
Anyway, I'd much rather keep Kawhi than getting Brown, Tatum or even Kyrie back for him.

A few weeks ago I thought Kawhi for Jaylen Brown was a trade that Ainge will never make, esp after looking Brown's good playoffs performances
But rumors say that Brown was one of Ainge's favorite players until his comments about race, sports organizations..."Sport is a mechanism of control in America"...
It seems like he envisions Brown as a Kaepernick-type of guy now...
While Pop would love to have a player on his team talking about racial inequality, Ainge wouldn't.
I still think this trade won't happen...Who knows.
Yes you are crying like a teenage girl.
Very embarrassing for a grown man.
You can control me for millions a year.....
Why would Ainge be upset with him saying that. It's not like it was some kind of distraction or alienated fans from the team? That rumor sounds a bit sketchy tbh
i think Brown is the closest prospect to kawhi in the league and has that 2 way potential.
I'd demand he be included in any trade with Boston
Brown is an absolutely deep and smart dude. I love his social commentary.
Also, ainge can eat a .
I know. But it's Ainge, it's Boston..IDK
Me, too.
Sadly, this happened to him before. Some NBA coach said he's too smart for his own good

I think only stupid people find a smart/free thinker dangerous.
But NBA is about business and players that GMs can manage... Ainge could feel he can't deal with that type of player. It's just a rumor.
I would love Jaylen Brown over about any other prospect from another team (other than the obvious if SA could get a proven star like KAT, etc..)
Yeah, I'd take Jaylen Brown too. I didn't know much about him, but his intellect fits the Spurs culture perfectly. He may not ever become as good as Kawhi on the court, but he sounds like he's 10x more suited to the Spurs personality wise.
But, but, but Boston is a progressive city... LOL
I dont get why many are down on him here. Outside of a poor game 3 he has been great all playoffs. And he is very articulate and thoughtful. he seems like he would be a slam-dunk fit for the Spurs culture. I do think Tatum has more upside but I dont think brown is a bad 2nd choice, especially if you coul get Celts to part with any other picks that belong to bottom feeders. Brown-and two first rounders would be an amazing haul for someone who may not want to be in Sa and/or damaged goods.
Agree 100% Eff Ainge Buck Foston!
I like Brown, smart kid.
Massachusetts is a progressive state, but Boston is as racist as the Deep South. They used to throw rocks at the buses taking black kids into Southie back in the 70s when busing was a thing.
Before we anoint the young Celtics as the next stars, let's first see how they handle their business tonight. They lose tonight and then in Boston, I think the book is rewritten on just how good they are and just how untouchable they are.
It’s still amazing what BOS has done, but if they lose to this Lebron team they will realize they need a lot more to win it all. GS is so much more than Lebron.
or for their stud rookie and sop re to grow and develop... and to have their whole roster healthy including their 2 most expensive players
My man, two things:
A lot of the players making a big impact (Smart, Rozier, etc..) would either not be playing or playing a lot less so the net gain with Kyrie there might not be as big as one would think. Not trying to minimize things with them out, but those guys are playing so well I don’t know if Kyrie would play THAT much better.
Their stud young guys, as good as they have been still are so, so far away from being a Lebron or even Kawhi. They may never get there. You see how a legit Superstar (Lebron) is on such a different tier than even an all-star level player.
Besides that the fact that a true Superstar (Lebron) can maybe beat your really good team by himself leads ones to believe that getting a Kawhi, even at the expense of a good young stud is probably the right course of action in my opinion assuming you don’t have concerns with health/re-signing.
That’s all I’m saying. This CLE team is not anything but slightly above average and losing to them shows not only the power of having a realized superstar but also just how far away those young studs truly are if they can even get to that point eventually.
