Do you regret the IT4 trade?

Yes, because we should be tanking / I prefer Justice Winslow
Yes, because he's a bad fit / too flawed
Yes, because I am mentally ill
Yes, because I don't want the Celtics to succeed
No
Does it matter? I'm trolling to get a reaction from Celtics fans

The only reason I wish it never happened is to stop the ludicrous threads on these forums.

A late 1st rounder for an All-Star with 3.5 years left on his contract at money only a little above the MLE?  There is no debate.

No.

Pros:  We have a PG having an MVP-level season.

Cons: Reading multiple threads disrespecting our PG having an MVP-level season

Yeah, absolutely.

I'd rather be "Trusting the Process" right now and reading all the threads about how our scoring sucks without IT...  ::)

For what reason?

Do you wish we would have been in the lottery for the past two seasons and acquired more top tier young players?

IT has obviously helped bring back the 'sizzle' to Boston. Even if it was never Ainge's plan to make a championship run with the IT/Horford core, at least we have had an exciting team to route for and we could always swap those guys for lottery picks anyway.

Other than the constant threads about us not being good enough (I am not blameless here), of course the IT trade was great for our franchise.

Never thought of IT4 as a pg

He is more like a short sg

This.

I wish I could deduct TPs for everyone guilty of the cons.

Who is 11th in assists.

How many other non-PGs are there? Curry, Lillard, Kyrie, Kemba, Rose, Lowry...

Pros : The rant on Danny for passing on IT having a MVP year with another team, and the forever "what if".

No of course not.  That is just silly.

I will say this, without that trade, Boston likely doesn't make the playoffs two years ago and thus would likely have Winslow or Turner instead of Rozier.  That would have been the only real positive.

boy am i glad we have a GM who recognzed IT's talents  ;)

i mean, we got him for barely anything. what a find

his D leaves something to be desired, but IT is a warrior

EDIT: pro:helped attract horford and ALMOST KD

               opens up the floor with his drives

con:defense (but almost every player has some negative part to their game)
I trust Danny Ainge
