The trade winds are a'blowin'...

[Flc]

If no one is untouchable, why are we even doing this? The goal is not to acquire assets, it is to win games. We traded Donny and Rudy when they both had lots of tread left on the tires. Continuing to do that is ridiculous.

No. The goal is to win a championship. That’s the directive Smith gave to Ainge. That means things like trading your two All-Star players for a boatload of assets.

A championship requires:
1. A superstar player. (Top 5)
2. 1-2 All-Star level complements.
3. 6 very good rotation players.
4. Luck

Of the above, we only have #2 in place. We have the assets to trade for #1 when opportunity knocks. Until then, they’re solving #3 through the draft and value plays, which is exactly what they should be doing.

You can rage about the trees, but thankfully our front office is birds-eyeing the forest.

This is something that should be very concerning to everyone when it comes to Hardy. Virtually every single player that was on this roster last year has regressed at least a little bit. I suppose you can make a case for Ochai recently but that feels a little more in spite of Hardy rather than because of him since Hardy hasn't exactly shown much trust in his based on his inconsistent minutes this year.

Just need to point out that your entire argument is constructed on a logical fallacy.

We have no idea if he will be the best PG 4 years from now.

Correct. But he’s the best PG now, has a basketball IQ through the roof and is beloved by his teammates. Hardy trusts him. The assist numbers are bonkers. For the 16th pick, that’s an ace.

Cason has been the better player thus far. Easier role sure, but he's been objectively better.

#1 As a "requirement" is not true. (See: 22 Warriors, 19 Raptors, 14 Spurs)
#2 most champions have the one to complement their star, not 2.
#3 depends on what "very good" means. I wouldn't say last year's Jeff Green was a very good rotation player, or Donte DeVicenzo in 22, or Grayson Allen, Dwight Howard etc.).

Hasn't stopped people from calling Hendricks a scrub and a wasted pick.

From certain angles, Will looks like Harvey Specter.

Yeah I just got done watching suits and I kept noticing how much they look alike I think it depends on the angle

DA know what he is doing. He makes Boston good, he makes Minny good, hopefully his next mission is to make the Jazz good !
