Rubio traded to Jazz

[Isaiah 1:13]

So is Teague a real upgrade over Rubio? I'm not so sure...

Young team needs somebody to hang their blame on. Why not the International guy with the "can't shoot" label. How many point guards have they drafted and brought in to try to replace the guy but still couldn't supplant him. Still he was the easy scapegoat. Teague couldn't even do better than Hill in Indiana. Bet Rubio will be happy to turn the corner on a bad situation and give us some of his best years.

This one caught my attention:

Wolves fans are seriously my favorite in the league. Besides you guys, of course.

Well, does it make any sense for them to pull the trigger if Hayward said he didn't like it? Only if they are trying to push him out the door, which is the opposite of what they're doing.

POTY right ****ing here. I'm sold. Buh bye Hill.

And fwiw, Rubio is a better defender, better passer, has a better A:T ratio, is a better rebounder, gets far more steals, is a better free throw shooter, gets to the line more, is four years younger than Hill, and costs approximately 5M or so less than what we expected Hill to get.

Does he suck at finishing and three point shooting? Sure. But with great coaching, based on his 89% from the line last year, I definitely think he can improve ala Kidd.

Oh God, they just signed Teague. I feel so bad for Wolves fans. They don't deserve this.

No doubt this trade had Hayward's blessing. You're not pulling this trade the day before his meeting without the blessing.

@Beanie - what's the mood like in Boston with PG going to OKC?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I guess I'm surprised Mills didn't get more. I think there's plenty of value at that price.

That's what the Spurs do... green took a cut a few years ago too.

Would be nice if Ingles would do the same for us. Come on Joe help us out here.

George Hill could possibly go to NY. They struck out on Teague. Not sure who their GM is at the moment.

He could, they have some cap space. It's a pretty dreadful situation there though.

Really bad. I was listening to local sports radio til they went off at 11. Callers were super pissed, most don't think Hayward will come now.

Everyone's pissed at this local sports guy Adam Kaufman. Basically was saying all week that Hayward/George was a done deal.

Also pissed that their Plan B-Blake Griffin is gone too.

What teams would want a expensive Point with a messed up toe? Chicago. Knicks. I'm thinking stupid east conference teams.

Some (not all) Boston sports fans are such pretentious, entitled pricks, they really live in a reality distortion field.

Cocky Boston fans.
I wonder if Ainge has on his pissy, crybaby face. What is he going to tell Gordon tomorrow? Is he going to ask for more time and promise "champagne wishes and caviar dreams?" I may hate Boston more than any other franchise just because of Ainge.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I'm really looking forward to the "post-Hayward re-signing with Utah" Boston fans meltdown. Ainge might find his *** on the hot seat.

The Celtics are supposed to meet with Gordon on Sunday. Lets see what their back-up plan is. This Paul George trade smacks of Kevin Pritchard giving Ainge the middle finger.

 

[Scorpjazz]

Im trying not to get too excited in case we ship him out for another move. But, if he stays, Im kinda pumped. I really wish Ingles would stay though, to help keep the 3 point threat spacing that Rubio could thrive on feeding.

I would have loved to hear the phone conversations between Indiana's Pritchard and Ainge. That's two shrewd aholes going at it and things were bound to get personal.

This also comes with everyone pissed about them trading/passing on Fultz and drafting another SF.

Also losing out on Butler who had been rumored to come here for a couple seasons.

Been a bad week or so for the Celtics.
