So stupid.
Fire Ainge.
Yeah, because we know exactly what and why he's doing this. NONE of us saw the work out, NONE of us picked Fultz's brain. Could have been something DA or Stevens didn't set right. Remember people jumping on DA about Brown. So far so good, has a was to go, but the kid is a worker.
First thing is DA's known targets are Hayward and Griffin. DA needs to shed some cap. This move sheds 1.5 mill off which is a little more than we need to get Hayward.
Second, what this team lacks is shooting and big men. Shooters are easier to come by. Next years draft has as of right now 7 to 8 out of the top 10 are Bigs. That LA pick may help with landing two bigs, or bundle both of one.
So you can say "we need shooters", but if you free up cap for Hayward(shooter/scorer) and gain a pick to land a guy like Porter. You give up the "prospect" shooter now, and give your self a chance to get the Vet shooter, and the "prospect" big.
Yeah theres the chance we don't land Hayward, but there is also a chance Fultz doesn't pan out.
And who is to say he's done? This was done WAY earlier than most trades for draft night. He could also be bundling up #3 for #5 and #10 and additional pick.
"Oh no, not an other pick!!" Oh, lest take that additional Kings pick, the LA pick, and the # 5 pick with AB or Crowder and filllers and move them for Butler. Oh and still cap for Hayward.
Now, I don't' know whats going to happen, these are just speculations, but until we know what going on, and if DA keeps the pick and it's Jackson and he turns out to be a bumb, THEN we can get the pitchforks out and raid the Garden for DA's head.
He got a great package for PP and KG, we aren't done with it yet, so until we see what the final out come it is, people need to come back down a bit. I mean jumping off of ledges, and starting petitions...I mean come on.
We just got done with what, year 4 of the rebuild, and made it to the ECF as the first seeed. How many teams fans would be happy with that. Let the man do his job, Futlz isn't going to be winning us anything in the next 4 or 5 years, and if DA can get something going now, yeah do it. I'm not afraid of the CAVS and GSW like some of you wankers. But a team and take it to them, see if you can hit lighting in the bottle. Because if DA can get a team that is close, Stevens puts over the top against Coach Kerr and Coach LEbron.
