This is actually my biggest complaint of Ainge: he seems to have a real antagonist streak. Feels like part of his deal-making is crushing his trade partner and I think that can quickly be counter-productive.

He’s the most patient GM in the league which has its obvious advantages. With that being said just an ounce of compromising could potentially close this deal I think.

I also like that these spoof accounts are like "its going down this week!!!" At this point I will be somewhat shocked if it happens before Sept 6th. The three team deal almost surely woudn't happen until then.

Hell, if you made a new account every single day until then you’re likely to hit once if you can get close to the actual details of the deal.

Ya- Lakers pay less than we did for Conley, yet they get Barrett as a throw-in haha!!

At this point in his career, it makes sense that a team would pay significantly less for Conley than we did. He turns 35 in a couple of months and played really poorly the second half of last season and in the playoffs. When you factor in his large contract, he doesn't have much if any trade value at this point.

Even with the devaluation of the FRP due to the Gobert trade, its surprising to see what kind of value a FRP can get you. It's really nice not having a GM who is trying to throwing in picks so the trade can have 2 winners, when really he just overpaid for everything.
 
Barrett being involved but going to a different team is nightmare level ****. Don’t even speak that into existence.

It just feels so incredibly petty and immature to care as much or more about the misfortune of another team than the health of your own team. Not only do I want the long term prospects of this next build to be better than any team in history, I would actually be happy to facilitate Bogey (and Clarkson, and Conley) having a shot at a ring. I guess I’m the bad Jazz fan, though.

I'm incredibly petty, but I'm just glad I don't live in California anymore won't have to listen to Laker fans if they win another championship. I definitely would be happy for Mike, Bogey, or Clarkson though.

I'm certain former Celtic Danny Ainge won't be doing LA any favors, and I'm sure he'll only do the deal if he knows that the LA deal is the best value for our guys the we can get.

How many shooting guards can we actually use on this roster? Barrett is the piece that gets us the second of two unprotected firsts from the Lakers. Anyway they're in a much better position to give him the deal he's asking for than we are at this uncertain juncture.
