I'd for sure do that... they'd for sure say no. It would require two of our unprotected picks imo.Vando, Beas and a pick for OG. Ah, yeah ..OG is rare and you would trade good for rare all day if you can afford it
Defense is the big difference. On offense Collins's is having a down year but is better on that end.I think the price is a lot lower for a Collins vs OG and I don't think the production difference justifies the higher asking price.

I'm guessing he just smells blood in the water.... he's a shark. If we get Collins it will come with significant draft comp.I'd be all in on Anunoby. Hard worker and team guy who doesn't need the ball and won't throw fits if his usage is 1.5 percentage points less than he'd like.
As many have said, this season is pretty much a success story whatever happens... pretty much. But we can still derail this thing by making a big, stupid move, like bringing in a guy who would push our best player to a less ideal role simply because the new guy is more one-dimensional and has to be used in a certain, narrowly defined way to provide some return of investment.
I cannot fathom why Ainge is so obsessed with Collins (if the reports are true). So, so weird.
Maybe. If thats the case though it would seem like there would be an even amount of coaching going around as the whole team defense is bad. And Sexton isn't the worst. Not even close. I rarely ever see Hardy coaching up KO for example who is possibly the worst defender on the team.Maybe the coaching is more about defense?
I like MacMahon but he also kept repeating we weren’t going to take back long-term salary in a Donovan deal and we did the exact opposite of that.
Regardless what the media guys are saying, I think it’s pretty obvious that Sexton is being groomed for the floor general position. Personally, I think he’s shown an incredible amount of growth in that capacity.Maybe.

The fact that him and Tony are both saying the same thing about Sexton tells me that it must be coming directly from their sources in the organization.

I think he wants to be a starting pg... I think we would love for him to get there... I am not sure we believe he gets there or will plan around it. I think he's a worker. I think Hardy's approach of being hard on him is fine as long as he continues to play him and take the good with the bad.Regardless what the media guys are saying, I think it’s pretty obvious that Sexton is being groomed for the floor general position.

Collin is absolutely a guy that would have some fans in front offices and some skeptics... FO doesn't have like consensus takes they release... TJ likely has a few folks that he talks with and some he trusts more than others.Our beat writers and reporters have been wrong multiple times in the past 6 months. They sometimes get told things the front office knows isn’t true. They aren’t the end all be all. They often report a lot of good stuff but it’s not gospel. Remember when we weren’t taking any long-term salary back? We weren’t trading Donovan?
True, I mean I like Tony Jones a lot - very personable and accessible guy. That being said I think his role is primarily PR and not investigative reporting.Our beat writers and reporters have been wrong multiple times in the past 6 months.

THey gave him that to make the Donny deal work bud.We will see. Don’t see Ainge giving a 4/72M deal for a guy they believe that his ceiling is a 6th man.
