absurd nonsense might be the way each was propped up the last few seasons.

Yep I've lost track this season of how many different media outlets propped both of them up.

You still angry I'd take Klay over Love?:heh:

As far as Ainge & Stevens. I think both get too much credit & not enough blame. Hopefully Kyrie's gone. And if the Celtics win 50+ & make it back to the conference finals next season then obviously the problem was # 11 & not the HC or GM.

I will and have said what I like about Stevens being overrated is players actually get blamed when they screw up. Usually the coach (or refs) take the fall by most fans.

Ainge has definitely made some decent moves but he's pretty much living off the Brooklyn deal. Would be comical if they were able to pass his team even though he was able to use their best picks the last half decade or so.

So you're critical of Ainge for the Nets stupidity of the trades? Alrighty then. Brooklyn didn't have to agree to anything. Yet they were dumb enough to agree anyway.

"critical of Ainge"? Nope, was a great deal he made. But even with that deal it looks like Brooklyn might pass up Ainge's team.

Maybe. Ya never know. But w/ the free agent frenzy set for the off season it's way too early to guess what teams will do next season before we know what the revamped rosters will look like.

No doubt about that....thought I saw something that said 40% of players will be FAs.

wish my team could be active other than maybe the trade market getting prepared for the following summer.

Now this is some funny stuff. :pound:

From nbcsports.com

Rob Pelinka told Lakers story of Kobe Bryant meeting Heath Ledger...on date after Ledger died

Holy crap! Does the Lakers Crazy Train have an end in sight?

How much have the Celtics really profited from that Brooklyn trade so far? Just Tatum?

Probably. To be honest I never paid that close of attention to the trades. Outside of Tatum I can't think of another player on the roster right now from those Nets trades.

Don't know what to say about this one. But it's a very bad look for Pelinka.

Jaylen Brown

Also got Kyrie by trading one of the Brooklyn picks
