Gordon on moving to Celtics

I actually respect him more for admitting that the West being loaded played into his decision.

Makes sense, and you can't knock a dude for telling the truth.
 
"The feeling of putting on a Boston Celtics uniform and competing for a title outweighed everything else for me.”

All I needed to hear.
 
Woj is soft! Didn't ask any tough questions, sounded as if his manager scripted all the questions... maybe still in PR damage control??

Didn't speak fondly or warmly of Utah AT ALL.

What's knockable about it?

You can't deny the appeal of a clear path to multiple all-star appearances and multiple deep playoff runs. Call it taking the easy way out or running away from a challenge if you want - but, in real life, people regularly switch jobs if the outlook for promotion and progression isn't as certain with their current company as it would be with another. Are they running away from a challenge?

Hayward's legacy in Boston probably won't touch what it could've been in Utah, but maybe that wasn't what motivated him anyway. I think the average sports fan unfairly judges most athletes, and pushes THEIR motivation onto them.

So wouldn't staying on Utah be an easier way out than going to the Suns or Kings? If he was a real man he would have gone to the Kings and won there, right?

Breh you're better than that. That's a straw man if I ever did see one.

I didn't say it's knockable. I just disagree with your statement that if someone tells the truth then you can't knock them.

This is why I wasnt heart broken. He wasnt really torn. He wasnt that into utah at all. We cant have our leader or #1 guy who isnt fully invested.

This move is best for all parties. I wouldnt be terribly shocked if things dont go that smoothly for him, and better for us. I'm so excited to watch DM grow, with Rudy and Rubio the leaders of this team.
