Royce to Brooklyn for a first rounder

[NUMBERICA]

This is a good deal for us, but enough of the Royce bashing. The guy put it all out there for us since he's been here.

We will miss you Royce

I’d be more with you but Royce was a complete embarrassment in the playoffs (most importantly the clear cheap shotting and the pouting about his benching that won the Jazz the game) and it has soured me immensely on him.

He’s where he belongs now.

Any other Caro-Kann fans in here?

I’m mostly on the White side vs Caro Kann but I respect it. I sometimes play Fort Knox or Scandinavian with black, both of which have similar pawn structures to the Caro Kann.

Yeah, but the past few years Royce was actually stepping up his game for the playoffs.

(And he did have a game winner this year in the playoffs)

So far this off-season Ainge has:

1. Not traded Rudy.
2. Not hired Don's guy.
3. Got us under the LT.
4. Cleared out the way in the starting lineup for those minutes to be occupied elsewhere.
5. Got us a first round pick.

I'd say he's executed this pretty good and has been pretty well rounded in being able to make both basketball and financial moves. I'm getting more optimistic.

I think trading Royce is encouraging, but whatever you think of Royce, clearing the way in the starting lineup is another way of saying we lost a starter and didn't replace him (yet) lol.

I don't play it myself, but I don't mind playing against it. I prefer rapid development over pawn pushing so I angle that way.

Credit Royce that he went from undrafted to signing a contract making more money than any of us will see in our lifetimes. The shot vs the mavs would be reflected on better if we would have not failed badly the rest of the series.

 

[JazzGal]

I've appreciated Royce's effort and am glad he got the chance to remain in the league considering his undrafted status. But it was a mistake to play him so many minutes last season. I hope this is a good move for him. I wish him nothing but the best.

This has been a crazy day for sports. Between this (which isn't all that crazy), the Durant news, USC/UCLA moving to the Big 10...I'm not getting a lot of work done today.

Wait, USC an UCLA are moving to the Big 10?!

Yep and passed up all those meaningful 3's that could have made the difference

Ainge is going all-in on this meme.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Wow, first Royce and now Paschall and Forrest! Hardy over Bryant - anybody else feel like this franchise may be pivoting in their thinking on which All Star to back? We’ve been getting dissed repeatedly on social media, time to pay the piper!

Sounds like it, or at least that's the story everyone is running with now.

Can't wait for those classic traditional UCLA/Rutgers games.
