Yeah, so much for the hard stance on George, nobody can beat our offer, yada yada yada.  A misses opportunity for sure.

So freaking frustrating.

George went cheap. Butler went cheap. But hey, we have "assets".

Danny's gonna die on a hill with his assets.

How did Celts not beat that offer?

That's what we get for trying to play hardball.

This was more about Pritchard spiting Danny Ainge for not throwing in the BKN 18 and LAL pick plus two additional players.

He went with the lesser route and traded PG13 for a bunch of ponies than dealing with Ainge lol.

If all the rumors are true of their asking price (2 firsts including the Nets pick and 2 starters) are you supposed to just be swindled?

It's a fail for Ainge if we don't get Hayward.  If we get him, George was a bonus.  But we couldn't get both of we got George first.

So wait until Monday or Tuesday before you crucify Ainge on this one.

Shocked we didn't beat that offer. Very disappointing.

Hopefully we are able to acquire Hayward and bright side here is that George is not on the Lkaers so that pick could convey. They were awful defensively and added Lopez and Ball. They should continue to be atrocious  on that end

Jesus what are we waiting for!
Surely the Pacers could have waited to see if wed landed Hayward then seen what wed offer?

Read that last line again. One more time.

So freaking frustrating. Now since Danny was being too stingy, we've lost out on both George AND Griffin, with Hayward looking less and less likely by the minute.

More stars staying in the West. I am ok with this. Lakers pick gets more valuable. You cannot convince me the Lakers are winning more than 30 games with all these guys in their conference.

If everything about the asking price was true and they took that then they can take their poor return.  Ainge shouldn't be hustled by anyone.
