Love IT, but I trust Danny. We all knew he wasn't a fan of overpaying for IT


Shane Larkin suddenly makes a ton of sense

Man, I'm really unsure of how I feel about this. I guess it ultimately depends on the package. But I cannot see any package that makes sense for both sides.

Perhaps this does mean that Ainge has no plans on offering IT the max next year?

Ha. I'd heard from a source that a Kyrie trade was likely this week, and the Celts might be involved, but I didn't put much stock in it. Sounds like he had the scoop before Woj. You never know.

This, to me, would be such a massive loss for Danny.  I cannot see why he makes the deal unless he is absolutely against resigning IT and is being forced to trade him.

Here it is, TP. And...healthy.

I can't believe most of the answers sooooo biased for IT, so I'm back to my peaceful holidays.

you answered your own question

He is absolutely against maxing out IT

OK - so then don't resign him!  But trading Crowder and picks/young players away is a LOSS on this deal.

As a vocal Isaiah supporter/Kyrie detractor, this terrifies me. However, I think Matt Moore perfectly summarizes my stance:

Quote
Kyrie’s an upgrade on IT. It’s not about quality of play, it’s about age, years, and size. I’d rather have IT for a year, Kyrie for five.

Basically how I feel as well...I can understand why DA would do it.

Parting with IT though just hurts. He's put his soul into the team. This is why I could never be a GM and DA is so good at what he does

Yup, same for me. IT has been not just a Celtic, but A CELTIC, since he arrived, and I feel that he's been a part of making the Celtics attractive to other players. He's basically been the face of the franchise the last couple of seasons. Would suck to see him sent packing.
