I take both of these rumors with a major grain of salt. I know it's totally unlikely, but this blog is fairly popular and I sometimes get the sinking feeling that actual members of the team occasionally browse this forum to read into the fan opinion. Is that totally outlandish? Sometimes I post something and think to myself, "man I wonder if this would irritate the celtics if they read it... Like what if Ainge is actually trying to land Bennett for nothing and our 10 page thread arguing about him being worth more than #16 is being forwarded to Danny by Flip Saunders as a joke". Is it entirely unthinkable ?
I was once in an elevator with fab Melo and Avery Bradley. I said hello and let them know I was a Celtic fan. But in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "ok there's like 0% chance these guys have any idea who LarBrd33 on celticsblog is... But if they did, would I be getting a punch in the face for something I flippantly said about them as a joke?"...
If there's a member of the actual celtics out there reading these threads, reach out to me and let me know if I'm totally cramping your style. You don't have to leak fake rumors to jake Fischer in order to counter my dumb threads. Thanks.
Lol. Kidding, of course. Anyways, sign me up for getting Bennett for free. Kid has the tools to be a player. He just needs the right situation and time. His potential is still there.
At this rate... A rumor will come out that the Kings are trying to give away #6 to whoever will take on Nik stauskas's contract and that Boston is considering it. Lol.
