Not buying that at all. Ainge played hardball and it's blowing up in his face. Hayward is his only move left to make. If I'm Gordon, there's no way in HELL that I'd take the Celtics now. Think it was a huge mistake for them to pass up Fultz for Tatum.

Yep. But of course they don't want that to be the narrative, because they still have to pitch Hayward an apparent willingness to win now. Hopefully Hayward is smart enough to realize no one is dumb enough to take Sabonis and Oladipo over three first rounders and two starters, and conclude that Ainge is not only stingy, but also lies through his teeth.

Great move by the Thunder. It's probably just a 1 year rental, but they got out of Oladipo's terrible contract. I expect both Westbrook and George to leave next year.

If you expect Westbrook to leave, this is a dumbe move. If they lose both these guys for nothing, they are going into an extended rebuild of 5-6 years or more.
 
Boston has a new pitch IMO. It's this:

Do you want to go through LeBron. Guaranteed All star

Or

Do you want to go through Curry, Green & Durant, Westbrook & George, Harden & CP3, Leonard, Butler & KAT... good luck getting on over all the other all stars...

Meh.

"Our team ain't great but it's better than most of the trash surrounding us. And in five years our draft picks will be developed"

The west will be where the action is. And Utah will be solidly in the tier below GSW with those other teams.

The chances of hayward making the all star game are slim in the west now UNLESS he goes to the boston, then it's 100%
 
It was reported that Paul George was open to re-signing with a contender but I don't consider OKC as a contender. Teams are all trying to get to super team status because you can only have so many. In my opinion the Jazz just missed the boat on this one. I feel they were one player away and missed out on Butler, PG13, CP3. Although most realistic would have been Paul George. I feel Hill, Hayward, both would have re-signed here if PG13 came. Btw who was the one that responded to my post saying OKC 1st, jazz 1st, Mitchell, Favors, Burkes, and possibly Hood wasn't enough to get the trade done?

Did Ainge play hardball?

Or does he know he can't beat GS, even with George and Hayward, and would rather keep his picks and build for post Curry/Durrant?

I guarantee you Pat Riley will flash his championship rings in front of Hayward while going over all this while on the beach with sun tanned senoritas all around them.

That's a ***** way to look at competing. How many years do any of these guys have. If that was Ainge's plan, then he should be fired.

I think you HIGHLY overvalue Pat's rings and senoritas. What Riley did with Wade and Lebron has ZERO bearing on what Hayward does as a free agent.
