I remember these same exact threads from last year. The pessimism on here is unreal. I mean, we have a meeting with Kevin freaking Durant tomorrow and it's all doom and gloom. Just have patience and a little bit of faith in this team.
I was an optimist about the playoffs last year. I even thought Cs would make a run in the playoffs. This FA period just sucks right now. It looks like Horford is playing us, and Durant is not coming if we do not have Horford.
I understand the frustration to an extent, but at least wait for all the big fish to make their decisions to lose hope.
If those "big fish" do not come here then don't you believe it would be pretty wasteful to keep our team together instead of trading for young talent.Maybe this is literally what Ainge said could happen and the market and outcomes did not fall in a certain way for us.I was all on board if we got Cousins/Durant or something, but if things don't pan out for us to move in a certain direction then we still have to move forward....just at a new angle.
This is a sincere question. I want to know what you believe. And maybe we take the team in a new direction but it moves us further along than we thought.
I may be overvaluing non-celtic players or undervalueing...idk with this FA period craziness and it being 4am.....these are just some examples:

Jabari and Henson and future 1st

4) Amir etc
