[Jones]BREAKING: Jazz willing to engage Celtics in S&T talks: But Gordon Hayward must agree

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Thing is, if the situation was flipped, we'd all be stoked to see DL be doing what Ainge is.

Idk why y'all thought we would get Crowder for essentially nothing. We have almost no leverage here.

Just wish I knew what Ainge was asking of Utah. Does he simply want a protection free pick or is he trying to get a player like Exum/Hood/Mitchell.

What is the point of contention? I would guess it's a protection free pick, but knowing Ainge he might be asking for way too much and trying to get a protected pick and a player.

Most of us thought it would cost us a protected 1st, which is a fair price.

They maxed out two players that are not even top 15 in the NBA (Haywood/Horford).

Sorry but I'm not squeezing one out to Ainge's moves.

That, and they haven't really hit any home runs with their draft picks either.

I'm talking about the trade negotiations with us, you worthless dolt.

 

[Beantown]

Yeah, they probably don't pay the extra money to have any cell service or wifi on their flight... Probably stuck playing games on their phones.

Maybe you're not in business, but this stuff happens through conversations. You NEVER negotiate through text/email.

 

[NAOS]

If they can move smart or Bradley, they can take their time to move Crowder for the best deal possible.

why?

Oh, you were just stating the obvious. Keep up the good work.

 

[MattNie]

why?

Because due to Crowders contract he is the most valuable and with Gordon and Horford they may already know they aren't paying Bradly after this year.

So you don't think that they have any access to phones on the flight? I can get wifi calling in coach. I'm sure these highly paid business execs can do the same.

How about the negotiations with Chicago and Indiana?

I think a lot of Boston fans are questioning Ainge for being too rigid. There was a pretty active fire Ainge thread on their board after he traded away the #1 pick as well.

Only time will tell, but the whole Idea of collecting picks was to trade them in when stars became available. So far he's 0-3 in the last year, and yes, I'm counting cousins. People assumed he never went after cousins, but with the massive choke on Butler and George, good chance he whiffed on cousins.

Right now all the pro Ainge celtic fans are convinced they will be getting the Brow. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I was only agreeing that Ainge has been great at acquiring assets, but has still a lot of question marks as a GM. Are you just trying to be an idiot here?
