lmao

Why did they sign Al Horford again? Dude sucks ass. I guess between him and Duhwaight I would take Horford but surely this wasn't the best possible route? Wait another year and dump the manlet IT, pick a top prospect and win it all?

Celtics thought signing Horford would help them lure Durant in.

Celtics fans really are the dumbest people on earth huh...

marcus shit for brains

I don't buy that. There's no way either of those teams would've accepted a first round pick (which isn't even guaranteed #1 yet) and some role player for their star player.

Celtics probably wanted it but neither Indiana or Chicago were biting.

>>75294895
you clearly don't remember the deadline, boston denied offers from both indiana and chicago because they were worried about being able to sign butler or george long term.

the Celts are fucked, Isaiah wont be on top of his game for a long time

>>75294584
Horford was supposed to play better

>>75294584
Horford was the super puzzle piece that was supposed to bring Durant until oh wait it didn't, nice job Danny.

>>75294895
The celtics literally rejected their trade negotiations.

>>75293794
lol dumb aussie. #1 pick is more valuable than either of those two.

>>75295139
How so?
>the #1 pick in a draft without a clearcut superstar, but full of Jimmy Butler-tier potential stars

vs.

>Jimmy Butler

>>75295139
>number 1 pick worth more than already established all nba calibre players

Cucktic fan logic

>>75293794
Celtics aren't in win now mode desu. In 2 years they'll be by far the best team in the east and win multiple championships, patience is a virtue.

>>75295115

The pacers legit asked for way to much. Apparently the Butler deal fell through over a 2nd round pick. Bulls wanted nets pick, 2/3 of crowder, bradley, smart, and a 2nd. Ainge's jewishness wouldn't allow it

>>75295229
No we won't.

Why do people think this Celtics team is going to be magically incredible

Marcus Smart refuses to develop or grow as player
Isaiah will be gone
Bradley will be gone
Crowder will be gone
Horford will be way past it
And most of Ainge's drafees are shit

Literally only Brown looks promising.

So essentially, we'll be the Bulls. 1 Jimmy butler, and a cast of shitters.

>>75295229
>celtics aren't in win now mode

they are the 1 seed

>in 2 years theyll be far the best team in east

IT is 28 and horford is 30. plus youve got the wizards who are all young and only getting better.

#1 picks in drafts are forever failures

>>75293794
>Jimmy Butler and Paul George can't take their teams to 50+ wins
>a manlet led the Celtics to 50+ wins and somehow the Celtics are a retarded organization for staying put and rolling with the ping pong lottery balls

>>75294584
He was the only one willing the join the Celtics and Durant later joined the Warriors.

>>75293794

Butler is fucking trash.

Paul George would've been a decent addition though.

>>75295115
Indiana and the Bulls wanted 1 or both Nets picks and like 4 of Smart, Crowder, Bradley, Brown and Olynyk. They should have traded most of their defensive core and 2 lottery picks for 1 guy?

But Celtics fans are the "stupid" ones

Ainge is banking on the next to Net's picks being absolute studs and building around a core of Smart, Brown + those two. No one else on the current team matters.

>>75297017
Lel not even close. Chicago wanted the Nets 1st pick, Smart, Crowder, and a second rounder. Boston would have a lineup of Thomas, Bradley, Butler, Johnson, and Horford. The Cavs just barely beat the Pacers by 1 point, if the Celtics had Butler they could be legit competing with the Cavs.

>>75297133
When it came down to it though neither one of those teams was actually serious. Indiana wanted more for PG than Chicago did for Butler

>>75297260
Dude Chicago offered the deal, they were serious and ready to go through with it. Ainge turned it down.

>>75297315
Because of uncertainty about Butler's contract beyond the next season? Why give up assets when they have room for another max contract guy this summer

>>75297315
Wait Chicago was seriously going to trade butler, holy fuck i thought that was a lie man fuck garpax the fact that they'd trade a core piece of the bulls away for shit talent is fucking retarded then again they traded Gibson.

Lmao sure

>>75297356
>neither one of those teams was actually serious
That's what I'm refuting from what you said, Chicago was absolutely serious. And Butler doesn't become a free agent until 2020. If you sign another max contract guy you won't be able to pay Thomas when his contract expires next year, and you'll be lucky to land a free agent better than Butler. If the Celtics lose in the first round, neither Hayward nor George will go to Boston.
>>75297358
Bulls are going nowhere with this team of just Butler and Wade, it would be better to get a 1st overall pick and rebuild than struggle in the 1st round every year until Butler leaves. That would have been a winning trade for both Boston and Chicago but Ainge is a retarded Jew.

>>75297443
>won't be able to pay Thomas

they have his and Bradleys bird rights so they can just go over the cap to pay them, and that's even if they are intent on bringing back Thomas. Which they aren't, because they're not going to give a 30 year old midget who relies on athleticism a $40 million a year contract.

Butler still had plenty of game in him the dude is 27 and has only been in the league for 4 years and has proved he can be a star player, why the fuck would the bulls want to get rid of him what they need to fire management instead for their poor choices.

>>75293794

>not giving up a pick to get 3.5 years of jimmy butler's contract

Danny Ainge is a dumb nigger
