Rozier over Portis, A Magnificent decision Lol.

[Snakehead]

The old Celticsblog wait for guy X to do well then bash Ainge for taking X in front of him like you and everyone else just knew all along.

I wish we could compile a list of all these comments and see how they end up saying they wanted to take like 5 different guys ahead of "Celtic X" depending on who did well that given week.

Keep flailing. That's the only amusement I find in being right about the vastly overrated general manager of the Boston Celtics.

Again.

The guy who pulled off maybe the best trade in NBA history?  And is the one seed three years into a rebuild?  That guy?

Do me a favor Bo: don't ever comment about the two top 4 picks we draft the next two years with the Nets pick or when we trade for an All Star with those picks.  Don't be happy with them and act like you were in for this all along.  Just keep whining like you always do.

Ainge not only messed up by drafting Rozier( not bc it was over Porter) but bc we made the playoffs that year by playing vets, who had their bags already packed for FA and were not in our future plans. Bass, Jonas, Gigi should have been gone after the trade deadline. Had we lost 3 more games we would have had the ability to select the guy I RAGED ABOUT...Myles Turner...though Ainge would have probably done a trade with MIA10th pick for Winslow with our assets and the 11th pick.

In all honesty I probably need counseling for DA's negligence that year.

I don't know if Portis was the answer, but it's becoming evident that Rozier is highly expendable.

Ainge made a decision not to improve the rebounding up front at the trade deadline, to preserve his cap situation, and it looks like, from tonite's loss, he will pay for it in the playoffs.

If it's any consolation, the amusement you provide to others almost surely outweighs any amusement you provide to yourself.

[chambers]

Portis is trash. Rozier's value is higher.

This one is s a venal sin, however, given Ainge's long mediocre draft history.

The real sin is the steaming dump he took on this team by not acquiring a rebounder at the deadline.

Yep. Horrible drafter. Terrible GM.  I mean, they could have had Ibaka and Tucker at the deadline, right? 

[KG Living Legend]

One good game doesn't make a player. Portis has been pretty terrible.

 Correction. Rozier has been worse. 4.3 ppg and 2.5 RPG.

 7 ppg and 5 rpg is still better. And the fact that Rozier can't get minutes with us just further exemplifies the point.

You do deserve credit for standing by this. I know I've criticized you in the past about your opposition to making the playoffs that year, but Myles Turner would look reeeeeaaaaally good on this team right now.

Turner was taken before we picked. Porter wasn't.

ah, but let no opportunity for over reaction pass us by once the celtics have experienced a loss.

[hwangjini_1]

I wonder who's been saying that on this board for two years .

Hmmm...

I have, thanks for noticing.

Um-hmmm, Want to admit to anyone else?

I suspect not.

well, if you finally stop insulting so many other posters here, maybe some of them would. 

really bo, why you consistently do this is beyond me. please make your points and then before pushing the "save" button, go back and remove the insults. it would be much nicer for everyone here, yourself included.

I know. His point is that we should've tanked down the stretch (as the Pacers and Heat did) to land where we could've had Turner. I'm commending him for standing by that despite widespread criticism (including from me), because his unpopular belief proved prescient IMO.

The trade would likely be pick 11 for Horford, Johnson, Crowder and Rozier and 20+ wins over the past 2.5 season.

IDK if I do it. I definitely dont do it with the knowledge that DA probably trades up and gets Winslow there.

Who is Porter?

true, but Portis HAS been better than Rozier, addresses a need, and was the obvious choice at the time.

Its fair to criticize Ainge for this pick.
