Better source Bulpett or Woj???

I rest my case..

For what Danny/the Cs are willing to give up? Bulpett 100%.
I'm bitter.

I don't know what this means. They have so many "top" assets, and most certainly can afford to give up one of the top firsts. Not the Nets pick, but the Lakers pick would seem to be reasonable.

This makes no sense to me because a main incentive for trading George to the Celtics is they have young assets--including draft picks, as well as good inexpensive players like Crowder and Bradley.

I see George as a win-win situation. I don't think they can beat the Cavs next year without him. They can't sign two FAs. They have to make one trade for a star.

Because of risk of him not signing. Apparently, Indiana unwilling to allow C's to negotiate? Guess they'd perfer Julius Randle...

Kinda knew this was coming... Ainge always gets us there... and then leaves the bedroom.

Call me crazy, I still give up Crowder, Bradley and LA pick for him and hope he resigns. Gotta start taking risks with these assets.

Leaving the bedroom ? Dude has you setup for gold. You're getting Hayward/George or Hayward/Griffin, it will be ok.

What if the 2019 pick is #15? Or if we do get a top-5 pick who is never remotely close to George in terms of talent and production?

If George agrees to an extension it is worth LAL18

Maybe but Ainge didnt risk trading the 2017 #1 for that

Whatever risk analysis they used...

agreed, if he signs an extension Danny needs to reach into that treasure trove a bit. It will be very disappointing if a couple draft picks end up crushing this deal.. especially when we have so many over the next few years.

That's it.   He is worth that long term.   He is not worth it for a rental.   


The asset should not be given up for a single year window that may or may not be that wide open.

But Danny is...well...

Good.

Damaged goods with bad attitude to boot, buyer beware.

This, times two.

Twitter won't let me in at the moment. It has better taste than that, evidently.

So, I'm assuming Bulpett also means assets obtained in the draft, such as Jaylen and Tatum.

Either, or both ways, don't do it.

I'd like to think this is a negotiating ploy, but we've seen Ainge cry fire in the theater many, many times. I will believe he's not intent on building a team of teenagers when he actually makes a move to acquire a truly accomplished player.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

You must be talking about yourself here, because that isn't an accurate description of Paul George.
I left this some place else, I'll leave it right here as well:

But, by all means -- setting yourself up to be disappointed is your constitutional right.

Just because we have the assets to blow the Lakers potential offer doesn't mean we should.  All we need to do is beat their offer not destroy it. Crowder and Bradley and non Nets and LA/Sac picks probably does it.

A game of poker has started.  Bulprett has Ainge's ear.

Because we just made the conference finals with a team of teenagers and no accomplished players acquired by Ainge.
