Losing Hayward was killer and we still havent recovered. Kemba, Horford, Fournier, Nesmith these guys come in but they dont fill the hole Gordon left. Gordon did too many things. He ran, he kept his eyes up court, he pushed pace, he passed, he defended (not great, but better than what he was given credit for), he slashed, he cut, he could finish, he was strong (bodies bounced off him), he handled, he protected the basketball, he shot.
It was just so much to lose. That a-hole.

I don't understand the criticism of Ainge's moves. He was swinging for the fences. Getting Kyrie was the correct move. Trying to get a healthy Kemba was the correct move. Letting Horford go was the wrong move(right drewski? I know he is a useless big, lol), but is that Wyc's call? Not trading Hayward for more than a trade exception may have been the wrong move. Drafting Tatum,Brown,Smart, and Rwill have put us absolutely on the right path. These draft selections could have been Exum, Dunn, Ingram, and joe blow. Then where would we be? RWill is the steal of his draft! Mo Bamba was pick #6 RWill pick #27. Who is better? Letting Horford go was the Sixers move cuz they decided to give him a freaking huge contract with length, then had to part w assets just to get someone else to take it.

I'm fine with that thrown in Grant Two years is nothing for me the Sox took decades i was behind them the whole time. I'll bet my less and stellar reputation here Yam is our PG of the future Next year we can discuss contending i hope now its fairly dim. Another bet Irving plays for the Nets this year and the 76ers get something of value for Simmons We move the neddle they move it to.. Harford's last year is correct s Opens up cap. .Sit back have a beer and wait and get what we can for Schroder which won't be enough.. The field this year is too wet to plow
Gonna be another Bubble Playoff anyway:
Antetokounmpo is just the latest All-Star-caliber player to enter the league’s coronavirus protocols this evening, after news broke earlier tonight that All-Star Brooklyn guard James Harden would join six other Nets in that team’s COVID-19 protocols. For the Bulls, All-Star guard Zach LaVine and probable 2022 All-Star wing DeMar DeRozan number among the 10 Chicago players currently unavailable due to recording positive coronavirus tests. Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant, performing well enough to earn his first All-Star berth this season, has been in COVID-19 protocols for nearly a week.
Remember when I was screaming for 2 years that DeRozan is the guy we need. And you agreed that he would be a real difference maker.

#2 works but Sac will want more.. Schroder goes to a contender as insurance or a backup no team is building around him i would guess You don't spend time traveling overseas to see ya draft and stash Yam unless your looking down the road aways Stevens best be patient keep Tatum and Brown happy and not look for that quick fix that doomed Ainge. We'll see i might even start to like him if plays for the future Tomorrow or Jan this year is not happening. You can't fix years of Ainge's mistakes overnite.. then give them what it takes ... ya gotta pay for what ya need not negotiate for what you'd like. Herman and Schroder for Bagley and HALIBURTON would be steal of red proportions , IMO. MAYBE the Kings would bite if we could send Schroder out somewhere for a first round pick and then sent Smart, Bruno and TWO firsts for Haliburton and Bagley? I think that's closer to what it would take anyway. I also think it might fix some of our issues and set the team up better going into next season. Even if I don't like Bagley that much I do like Halliburton a lot

dunno the hate for William. He has been consistent with his threes and he does the little things. Isnt he shooting over 40 from the 3? Anyways.. on a different note, we should consider Hauser to cover that last spot. He is our best shooter. Not a reflection of hate for GWill. To the contrary. He's young and inconsistent and is challenged to defend length. And he's shooting at a clip that makes him valuable, right now (maybe not in February/March). GWill, like Smart, is a player who needs to play around much better players, much better scorers (reduces dependency on their offense). With those performances from Tatum and Brown last night, we need games like this from GWill to be successful but we won't get many more like that from him. He's just not that kind of consistent offensive player. GWill has value NOW and we should not let that value go to waste considering the major improvements this team needs. although True, why would we hinder the value of a role player just because the main guys cant make others better? It seems like this last game we saw temporary improvements. We have seen those before. Tatum cant make anyone around him better and that is going to continue no matter who you replace those role players with. Speaking of, i did not see tatum doing step back threes or at least not as many and he was more successful.

It's going to be fun to watch DA fall right on his ass.
Fool me once, shame on you!
Fool me twice....

Speaking of, i did not see tatum doing step back threes or at least not as many and he was more successful. You know what, you are probably right about Tatum. Maybe sacrificing a young role player, who has value NOW, might help in us getting a player who can make Tatum and others better. But I would think that a "valuable-now" GWill packaged with Smart or Schroder might get us a decent return. I also see your point. Friday we could very well return to iso-heavy basketball.
