Wow, all those years carrying James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Chris Paul, Paul George, and Blake Griffin were very impressive.

Crazy how those really good teams were always better with him on the floor than off it. He won't help Lebron and AD at all.

He's a proven role player that stays in and loves his role... it also happens to involve a couple things that winning teams constantly seek. Shooting and defense.

He’s 34 and an expiring contract though. How much is he REALLY worth?

Sure, he's solid.

He's highly overrated but I give him credit for marketing himself effectively.
 
Zero concern with what Ainge has done so far. He has cost us nothing by waiting. If anything he has solicited as many offers from as many interested parties as possible.

I do hope he is traded by Christmas so we don't trip into too many extra wins + risk a fluke injury. I put a lot of the value associated with this trade on the expected quality of our pick in the 2023 draft. But if continuing to hold him means 3 unprotected firsts vs. 2, patience remains a virtue.

We gave up a solid starter for a playoff team for a guy with a bad contract... but my gawd the wingspan and potential?!?!?

That's all I'm saying... I'm channeling my inner Windhorst "why would the Jazz do that?"

On his own likely a good second rounders... if you took on bad money like we did... two good second rounders.

The deal is obviously a really small loss in the grand scheme of things. I just think there is more given the timing and the team we traded him to etc. If its just cuz they like THT... well then I disagree.

I was being sarcastic lol I honestly think we could have gotten a first for him.
