Avery Bradley traded to Detroit -- a warning for Jordan Heywood

[KarlMalone]

Hey Jordan,

You signed with the Celtics because of their championship culture and the chance to spoon with Brad Stevens for the first time since college. We get it... But remember there is a Mormon monster Danny Ainge at the head of that organization that will use you up and throw you onto the trash heap. Case in POINT... Avery Bradley. Bradley gave 7 VERY GOOD years to the Celtics, playing his whole career for the same team, but when something better came along Danny Ainge did not even hesitate to throw him ONTO THE TRASH HEAP. Don't think this won't happen to you Jordan... once this 4 year deal is done and you're a white man with bad knees at 31-32 he will throw you onto the trash heap too... mark my words. There is no loyalty in Boston... look how Boston treated England in the 1700s.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED JORDAN!

KARLMALONE (BRONZE STATUE)

I approve of the addition of Jordon to Haywood. Nice ring to it.

 

[Beantown]

I love listening to local Boston sports radio right now. Fans are pissed.

Bradley and Hayward would have played really well together. Sucks for them.

 

[mdalby]

So, does this bring to an end any hope of a sign and trade? There doesn't seem to be any need on the Celtics side, unless Hayward demands signing with Utah to get the extra year and then the S&T. But, I don't think Hayward wants that.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Jazz fans acting like they dont know Gordon Hayward's name might be the corniest thing this fanbase has ever done.

 

[candrew]

So the subtraction of Bradley, Kelly O. and (possibly) Jae Crowder or Smart and the addition of Wayward = EC Championship?

Highly unlikely.

Sounds like they'll go down in 5 again if they get there.

Pretty corny yes... but if Jordan Heywood wants to leave our market, we will pronounce his name JUST like every national media outlet. He will have to deal with it. So Jordan Haywood will be on the trash heap in 4 years and will bounce around the league for the remainder of his career. He could have stayed with the Jazz his whole career and built a legacy. What a freakin' idiot.

That is what I am thinking. It seems that Danny Ainge is caught up building a very mediocre team... Horford? YEAH RIGHT! IT? He's a little fidget spinner. Jordan Heywood? He is a FAKE SUPERSTAR! Jaysum Tatum? Put on his backside by Donavon Mitchell.

The Celts are the worst.

this means crowder won't get traded?

I am surprised he doesn't want the 5th year. Because this is the only contract he will have with the Celts and if he wants to spoon with Brad Stevens as long as possible, he should go for a 5 year contract. Maybe him and Brad Stevens have this little dream that they will be, like, two princes who are on the same team and when Danny Ainge throws them both on the scrap heap they can go to Indiana and be hometown heroes or something stupid.

 

[Getting Traded]

So, do they still need to shed salary or not. I'm confused about this because people are saying that now they no longer need to do that?

 

[KarlMalone]

this means crowder won't get traded?

It seems that way, but if DL really wants Crowder he is available for some assets. But we don't want to give assets to that SNAKE OIL SALESMAN.

 

[jazzlurker]

... I wonder how the Celtics locker room will feel about losing Bradley. Crowder is already pissed. How many other Celtics players will be resentful of the GH signing? Rivers took heat for signing his son. Will Stevens take heat for signing his little brother?

They don't need to shed salary. But if Jordan Heywood wasn't an idiot and wanted to maximize his dollars he would do as Chris Paul did and ask for a S&T to ensure he got top dollar for his corn shucking abilities. So they can afford Jordan Heywood at his current price I believe, but if it was a S&T they would still need to unload some assets. I think. Don't quote me on that.

 

[Magic Spray]

Seems unlikely Ainge would throw out the 4 years of foreplay that he has been performing on Haywood's ladyparts and put him on the scrap heap. Especially since it's a menage with the coach as well, but yeah man. Ainge is craven. Ainge might be one of those really really nice mean people. Like can only be super nice because they are really mean. I've found it's pretty common among Mormons. Just saying. And I'm part of the tribe, so I think I can speak from experience. Anyways, sure it would be funny to see Haywood languishing on the Nets or the Magic or whatever, but it's probably not going to happen. More likely would be some scrap between Haywood and Crowder. But that's probably not going to happen either.

We should all probably prepare for a Celtics championship.

I think the team they got now can take them to at least 6. The Gilbert turmoil could have on-court repercussions.

Stevens didn't sign his little brother... Stevens signed his pasty lover. I feel like Danny Ainge is kind of screwing the pooch in the eyes of Celtics fans this off season. I don't think the fans were happy about trading back in the draft. I don't think they were happy to lose Bradley. I don't think they were happy to lose Olynyk the t-rex arms guy. I feel like Danny Ainge made 3 negative movies in order to add one Jordan Heywood, who is a FAKE superstar that will not make the Celtics able to beat the Cavs in a playoff series.

Not unless they are protected or second rounders, and I don't see Ainge doing that. I really do think Crowder would be a good addition at the right price, but my gut feeling is it doesn't happen.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Who knows maybe Frank Jackson becomes a super-star and Utah can steal him from a team one day and have all their fans cry foul-play and unfairness as we laugh at their demands to give them a S&T.

 

[KarlMalone]

I don't think they take them to 6. No way no how. Isiah Thomas is already have HIP issues... his speed is his M-O and he will be losing it. Then you lost a lock down defender in Bradley, a stretch backup C in t-rex arms. I just don't think the Celts made a positive change this offseason. It is awesome.
