They couldn't trade for AD until this off-season because of Kyrie's contract.

The Raptors were blowing up their team, that's why they rented Kawahi for a year. 1 year ago the Celtics were in a very envious position. They took Cleveland game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals without two all-stars on their roster. With Kyrie and Hayward back, they were expected to make the NBA finals. Nobody could have guessed that Kyrie would have torpedoed the team like he did.

100% of all GMs would have done what he did, and 99% of basketball fans.

What specifically are you talking about? I think most would have cashed in on PG

I was referring specifically to GH, but the moves to get KI were a no-brainer.

I disagree, Minny, Toronto, and OKC GM’s all took that chance

Not trading Brown for Kawai was terrible. Not trading Tatum for AD was terrible.

Ainge gambles quite often

I don’t think either of those were gambles, at all

But they didn’t try to trade for AD this offseason either. At least not really.

LOL, They couldn't trade for AD until Kyrie opted out on July 1st

If you want to stick your head in the sand that’s fine. But Boston didn’t make

Reasonable offer? Why would NOP entertain a reasonable offer from Boston when LA was willing to mortgage their future

They still don’t have an excuse for not getting PG, Jimmy, or Kawhi

The PG trade was made prior to the Celtics signing Hayward

Oh okay I trust you. You clearly have an objective view of Ainge and certainly

Great at asset accumulation but not at getting a payout.

They were never a super team, but yeah, the future looked brighter.

Hard to believe he'd pass up the 30m. What could he expect on a 4 year deal?

$60 M > $30 M. When you're that age, sometimes you want to lock in the

He would be a great fit for the Suns opposite Ayton

He would, but he probably wants to play for a team ready to contend.

I think at this point Horford's greatest value is definitely with him at C.

I like him on the Kings

If the Jazz didn’t already have Gobert I would really want Horford

It's probably a blessing in disguise
