Celtics/NBA Off-Season/Draft - Celtics complete sign-and-trade, send Gordon Hayward to Hornets

[Gator Mike]

I just puked in my mouth. Another player the Celtics are just going to have rot on the end of the bench or stash in Portland that will amount to shit.

Just a prediction... if healthy, Nesmith is going to play and play a significant amount. They really, really need his shooting.

 

[Troublesome 85]

So if this team doesnt trade Hayward they basically have

Hayward
Brown
Tatum
Nesmith
Williams
Ojeleye

Who are all like 6-7 6'8 or 6'9

Williams and Theis needs some help at PF/C

They basically said the same on NBA TV.

They also really, really need a big that can stretch the floor and is an actual player rather than someone the Celtics have to wait 2-3 years to mature and risk pissing off Jayson Tatum.

You’re really over reacting man. Just cause they didn’t do exactly what you wanted doesn’t mean they’re incompetent morons. This draft stinks they got a good shooter it’s not the end of the world

 

[Johnnyduke]

If Nesmith is a better player than the bigs available that's fine with. Now let's see what happens with Hayward.

Because pissing away draft picks year after year rather than packaging them to get a real player is starting to get really f***ing irritating and the fact that Celtics' Green Teamers won't turn up the heat and hold Ainge's feet to the fire to get something done is beyond belief. This f***er has won one title in almost 20 years and is given more leniency than Belichick.

Guys I still have my eyes on at #26:

Precious Achiuwa, PF, Memphis
Tyrese Maxey, CG, Kentucky
RJ Hampton, CG, New Zealand
Leandro Bolmaro, CG, Argentina
Jaden McDaniels, PF, Washington
Theo Maledon, PG, France
Tyrell Terry, PG, Stanford
Xavier Tillman, PF/C, Michigan State

 

[CDJ]

Kennard to the clips, Shamet to the Nets, 19 to the pistons


I like that move for LA

I want none of them. They do nothing for the Celtics. I want Danny to pay up and make a real trade instead of being a draft pick hoarding weirdo.

The guy tried to trade 4 1st round picks for Justice f***ing Winslow and was turned down. Maybe, just maybe, other teams don't like the picks as much as we think they should.

Then that's on Danny for being the idiot stuck with the magic beans. The moron fell for the banana in the tailpipe and meanwhile the Nets, the team the Celtics suckered, could possibly win a title with KD and Kyrie.

 

[Gator Mike]

It's Danny's fault KD signed with the Nets instead of the Celtics???

 

[EvilDead]

Did I say that?

I said that Danny couldn't use his remaining assets he got when rebuilding right and then meanwhile a team the Celtics fleeced are in a better position out of sheer luck and the Celtics are now a middler. AND YET Danny is treated like King Midas that has the magic touch. Meanwhile everything he has done since picking Tatum has turned to shit.

 

[GloveSave1]

No problem with Nesmith. But I do agree Danny does need to address the Big problem.

Sweeney and Ainge should get a beer. Both of their teams need physicality and both struggle to add it.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Would be great if 2 of

Ojeleye
G Williams
R Williams
Edwards
Langford

become a regular contributor. Wasnt Edwards supposed to be a big steal last year?

 

[Gator Mike]

the Celtics are now a middler.

Eastern Conference Finalists in three of the last four years.

No, that's not the goal. But they've been right there. Building a championship team in a market like Boston is tough. We're never going to sign marquis free agents, and in the player empowerment age, those guys weren't going to re-sign with the Celtics. Did they have the ammo to go grab AD or Butler or Kawhi? Sure. Would any of those players still be in green had DA pulled the trigger? I doubt it.

We'll never know because Danny just sits on his hands all the time and does nothing but stand pat.

No doubt.

A team with Tatum and Brown as your two cornerstones are not " middlers ".

The Celtics have been hugely successful recently. They're one piece, maybe two away from getting over the ECF bump.

[N o o d l e s]

Payton Pritchard wtf

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Hell yeah I love Pritchard!

Huge backup PG upgrade.

 

[EvilDead]

And the Celtics drafted the mandatory white player who will just rot at the end of the bench.
