Video Recap for those wanting to avoid watching the entire thing to get the crux of the matter:
Ainge saw to it that Brad's crutches were removed in Teague, Green & Theis with other crutches in OJ, Grant & Edwards also potential options to have been removed. Now Rob, Nesmith & Payton will get more minutes as the three removed were getting preference over the new beneficiaries. |

This was posted 19 hours ago. I said the same thing after Robs first start. What DA doesnt have the balls to tell Brad what todo let alone fire him. He prefers to send subliminal messages.
Are you insinuating that smart people read this forum and react to it?
Maybe, wouldn't surprise me if outsiders come here for ideas since you guys are very outspoken and we do have a free flow of ideas and discussion that provides food for thought to all these media types looking for something to write or podcast about.
I think overall the group here is ahead of the curve and seeing your ideas and debates utilized by those with more access on the net is a compliment to the members here and the forum itself ... or it's just coincidence.

Look, we don't know what ORL asked for VUC from us. All we know is who he was traded for. And we could not match that. I would love to know exactly what the deal was.
As we've said, and as the guy said in the video, we upgraded the team at little to no cost for Fournier, with the hope of keeping him. Worst case scenario, we lose him and get another TPE in a sign and trade, is my opinion. But, let's say we keep him...........
Kemba still can't play back to back games. So having Fournier, with Pritchard and Smart is a HUGE upgrade over Teague. Fourier will get lots of minutes. We aren't winning this year, so we also get to see Kornet, Wagner, TimeLord and, when he comes back, Romeo. Let's ride it out, see what we have. Maybe we'll have new GM next year, and maybe we won't . We also get to see Tacko, who some have been clamoring for. Guy was undrafted and is on a 2 way 2 years in a row for a reason. Hopefully, he can turn into a reliable 3rd string Center.
Play the kids, see if you can get Drummond or Boogie. Nets are totally stacked now with LA on the team. I can't see anyone beating them anyway. I loved Theis, but he priced himself out of our range with his play this year.
I'll follow the team, and I think we are better, but my expectations have not changed. We'll make the playoffs, like we have every year but one (first) under Brad, and we'll get bounced earlier than last year. Why? Because we aren't as good as last year............PERIOD.

Imo LA can't play d, and every shot he takes is one KD isnt taking. I like the versatility of Blake better for them. |

We'll get a handfull of more wins especially against the bottom dwellers with Fournier..
We'll also go from a late teen to mid 20 ist round pick in what may be a deep draft..
I've seen some decent picks in the teens not so much in the 20s.
We play for one year at a time every year..
Fournier will be asking for a 4 year deal at 90 mil or so.. I havn't did the math but it puts us over the hard cap again i'm guessing.
We better reup Ainge before another team picks him up.. I'm glad we have Stevens locked he's a leading candiate for Manager of the year..

Well, that's why I come here...to read the ideas of guys that are more aware of the intricacies of the game than I...same as on the Pats board...I basically root for the guy in the green shirt!... |

Experience and leadership come playoff .. Both are smart players who won't rock the boat.. Blake played decent his last game.. Neither one were coming here. It's too cold,, |

Better nite life in Brooklyn?
If you build it they will come ... stars followed KD for sure. Too bad we didn't land him over GS ... What might have been.
But valid point by you ... it's not much warmer in NY than Boston so that excuse is no longer valid.

Danny must be pissed over losing Fournier to the Protocols ... no mention of this until he got to Boston for his physical. So with what, 25 games left this season, we lose the new guy ($17MM) for 25% of those games? WTF!

We are likely bounced in the ist maybe second round at best, I seen no need for a half ass rescue plan this year.. Ainge played it safe and did something Just like when we got TT last year We settled for our second or third choice.. |

Got his Bs mixed up probably.. |

The 7’2’’ stretch-five provided the team with enough spacing to open driving lanes for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown while also giving the team a different dimension when defending the rim. “Brown was dominating us in the first half, and even in the start of the second he had some plays. We felt we needed to spread them out with shooting – that’s why we went with Luke, I thought he was really good on both ends.” Stevens said, as he was discussing his decision to go with Kornet in the fourth quarter. Interestingly, Stevens preferred to discuss Kornet’s impact and upside as a pick-and-roll defender. “Luke’s a guy that can shoot the ball. We’ve also been intrigued with Luke for a long time because of his pick-and-roll defense. He’s long, and he affects shots at the rim – he’s a guy we’ve always had an interest in because of those two things.”
Admin: "We've been intrigued with Luke for a long time" < so, Brad has input on picks & FAs but maybe even more than we thought
With Kornet guarding the pick-and-roll in drop coverage before rotating over to meet the roll man and contesting the shot vertically to force the miss without fouling. Interestingly, Kornet has defended the pick-and-roll for 115 possessions over the last three seasons, limiting his opponents to roughly 50% shooting and only giving up eight shooting fouls in the process - that’s good work and an encouraging defensive skill to develop. streamable.com/wdqbjy“It’s something that I’ve definitely taken a lot of pride in, honestly towards the end of college and throughout my career, it’s something I’ve tried to provide value in,” Kornet said.

Mo Swag and The Green Kornet both bring things this team needs! Energy and outside shooting!! I've liked what I've seen so far! My question is, who is gonna slow Zion down monday?? This will not be an easy game to win!9 I like that name Green Kornet! |

I mentioned this a few weeks ago. Got little fan fare...
Stevens and Ainge have the same philosophy and are linked together like Siamese twins.
They both go or both stay... There is no one or the other that's been plain for quite some time.

But valid point by you ... it's not much warmer in NY than Boston so that excuse is no longer valid. Re: "Too bad we didn't land him over GS ... What might have been." I always like Durant and felt he was almost as good as LeBron. But, I stopped liking him as much choosing the Warriors which I felt was an overkill as they had Curry, Thompson & Green. I was hoping as he was courted by us and Tom Brady especially he would like more of a challenge than the slam dunk ring with GS. I felt like KG had never won a title he still would choose Boston as a challenge to do it and I wished Durant had too. But, I guess, a bit frustrated, and it’s an enigma to me that OKC once had Harden, Durant & Westbrook & then only Durant & Westbrook(still formidable) and still couldn’t win. The Warriors were not their downfall at that time…it was the Spurs !!! Thus, going with GS and getting a ring was more important than a true challenge. And, would we have won the title with Durant and Hayward ? Remember no Irving but with IT as our guard, I would have liked our chances. |

I want to see Tacko, Kornet and Wagner on the floor at the same time.
Wagner is so agile he can play the 3 spot a little, imo.
Length for days!
Tatum,Brown,Wagner,Kornet,Fall
That's the lineup I want to see against the Pelicans!

So Aldridge to Nets!!! They are really loaded. Let’s see what Drummond decides. He is clearly a better fit for what we were trying to do with TT. He can see that himself. Free agent center Andre Drummond is planning to sign with the Lakers on Sunday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, one day after officially agreeing to a contract buyout with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Someone can't see and its probably not Drummond.. |
