Only been once and it was a big *** gas station like truck stops. It’s at least truck stop adjacent. It reminded me of a truck stop lol.

I will change my statement. Big *** gas station/convenience stores have great *****ers.

Geez, get it right.

Conversely, little run down gas stations in the middle of nowhere are the most likely to have bathrooms that give you diseases.
 
The first couple minutes of the Ainge interview I believe pretty well encapsulate my assessment. He talks about how they were going to be drafting second (pre-lottery) and were looking at taking Durant, but then they got bumped back to 5th and it opened the door to trading for Ray Allen and subsequently KG, winning them a championship. He's had a couple times where things have fallen out of the sky that worked favorably, and I believe his approach is to "just be in the right position" for when something falls out of the sky. It can certainly happen, but I think it bends more toward the outlier end of the spectrum rather than somewhere within a normal distribution.

So the plan really is just wait around and hope to get really lucky. I do get it, but hard to get very excited.

Celtics went the better part of a decade being in on seemingly every big name that was going to be moved, and nothing ever happened. Then Ainge finally pushed his chips in years later for Kyrie Irving and it was a disaster and the exact wrong move to make after his half decade of outsmarting everyone by doing nothing. Great return on Isaiah Thomas after screwing him over though.

DA make some great things and failed on others as all GM. Keeping eyes open is a good strategy but i do not think you can duplicate what he does in Celtics. For a simple reason, Boston is a club legend winning titles, big market for 40 years when SLC is nothing compare to them.
The only way to become good for me is to build chemistry with youngs talents ( I'm not sure Hardy is the right coach, cf Kessler treatment...). Once we start to be decent, then trade for one or two star players. And i mean start player, not superstar. Dreaming that we may landed one day Luka or Giannis is just a dream, that will never happen for me.

Yes… I been trying to tell yall. He chases the opportunities… which is okay for a while.

Didn't Kyrie get injured before the playoffs? If he didn't go down Im pretty certain Boston would've been in the Finals that year.

Ahhh no one listens to him anyways. It’s like what I told my dad who is long winded. When I was young and he caught me doing something stupid he’d spend 5-10 min lecturing me. Well if I talked back. He’d yell at me forever so I just learned to tune him out. Now whenever he’s talking to me in the present after a min or two I only hear whaa whaaa whaaaaa.

Yeah and in addition, he has trolled reporters over and over about questions regarding "the plan". I'm now 100% sure he genuinely believes that making any long term strategies that you commit to and try to force into reality is not the right way to build a championship team. Instead its minor tinkering and opportunism, paired with being active and vigilant. Take care of your cap, assets and do smart business decissions on the roster.

If that is true then that also essentially means that a deep tank in 2024-25 will only happen if we manage to get kings ransom from Lauri/Sexton.
Also roster upgrades will only happen if A) its the right guy to invest big in or B) if we get good guys on discount prices.

So as fans we have to prepare for everything and expect nothing at the same time. That is THE PLAN.
