Ainge spent years collecting assets specifically for Anthony Davis

[QUOTE=ronniec]There are only 5 spots on the court, a couple of key rotations and some backups.

You mentioned 5 extra, but how many minutes they are going to get??

Probably a couple of more minutes that Tacko Fall?[/QUOTE]

Are you dense? In that post I mention 6 players, while you mentioned 3...that's 9 total.


Most teams run 9-11 man rotations.


Fine, don't mention the other guys. Mention just the starting lineup alone.

Lebron
Green
Kuzma
AD
Cousins

Is LIGHT YEARS better than the Pelicans team that made a playoff run years ago. Are you truly gonna sit here and try to argue that the 2017 Pelicans are a better team than the 2019 Lakers?


Hey bro, why's your face facing my face? Turn'round. *G'gonk* That's the sound of me closing the door on this silly discussion.

:roll: :roll: :roll: Jesus moses what a destruction. Stay dumb Boston

Lmao Boston fans acting like last year they weren't convinced that he AD was going to be traded to Boston.

How many topics of "Boston has the assets"
"AD wants Boston"

etc.


Yeah the month before AD was traded, it was obvious that he wasn't coming to LA. Lets not act like these morons were absolutely convinced he was coming.


Then 2019 happened and AD said "Ill never go to Boston". Oh sorry, his dad said it. And his dad mentioned how awful Boston treats their stars. Bright future for sure. When Horford dips to go to a direct competitor and Kyrie does as well. While you give out a max contract to a bust in Hayward. BRIGHT!!

[QUOTE=ronniec]How good the Lakers are right now?
They are just the side kick of the original Pelicans... AD, Cousins, Rondo...
The difference is, they aged a lot, injured a lot, put on a lot of miles these years and no long in prime except AD.

So what to get into the playoffs?? You can't get past Houston, Warriors or even Spurs in a 7-game series anyway...

At least Boston have a higher chance to get to the ECF than you getting past the 2nd round.

ALSO, the Bran stans/OP do some fact check before posting something dumb here. Lots of Celtics fans (majority) did not have high hope on AD. We all knew that even if he came he would be just a one-year rental. He was never in any serious discussion.

We expected to lose Kyrie, we expected AD was not coming... Rozier is way overpaid, and the only unexpected was Horford leaving. That's it.

Tatum, Brown, Smart are all uprising young players, Hayward should be better than last season. A dedicated Kemba is as good as (if not better) than an injury-prone and distracted Kyrie. We signed 3 centers to cover Horford's position.

Yes, we lost 4 players, but our future is still brighter than the Lakers. That's enough.[/QUOTE]
Look at this quality meltdown.

Brighter future, what-if's and stockpiling assets to be the best team in a position to make a move has done what exactly? At the end of the day your boy Ainge will not make a deal unless it is heavily in his favor. You had a pre-injury Demarcus Cousins, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, and Anthony Davis all become available and you guys did nothing. Where is your optimism coming from? You think Giannis is on the way? Towns going to request a trade? It's over. Ainge played himself.


Kyrie ditched you and you got a less efficient/talented Kemba to replace him. Horford dipped and you got no adequate replacement. Now the only thing your team can do is hope that Tatum hits stardom. You are the 5th best team in the Eastern conference and going nowhere. :oldlol:

Same effin noise these dumb lakers fans are making now :oldlol:

Before the season starts last year - "[I]we got LeBron now and we will be a contender in the west[/I]"

Then when they didn't make the Playoffs, some of these dudes hated LeBron so much especially AirTard and now he's back on Bron bandwagon again :roll: :roll:

Lakers tard fans about to get embarrassed again next season :roll:

Dont forget their ONLY two "bright spots" Brown and Tatum both regressed this last year. Tatum being cringy bad. Soooo..... Hayward?

Laker fans: *Receive AD,LeBron,Cousins,Danny Green, Avery Bradley, Quinn Cook, and keep Kuzma*

Boston: Lost both stars and bench and replaced them with 5'10 Kemba and Kanter.


Boston fans: its gonna be ok. we are still better than most teams. Its gonna be ok.

That's it? :roll: :roll:

The guy in my avatar is the best 4 in the game. By the way.. who is playing the 4 on the Celtics? You guys going to have scrawny Tatum down there? Do you guys have a bench at all? :lol

Celtics are so pathetic.. when you look at their roster. Zero bench. 5th best might be too generous. Raptors and Heat might actually be better. Hell.. a healthy John Wall comes back and you guys might have to scrap for a playoff spot in the EAST...

Who can stand you anyway??

Why not tell your hero Lebron to make a bet and see if he can win it all?
Ask your Laker players to place a bet?
Okay okay, NBA players cannot bet.
Can Lebron guarantee wins and championships??
Not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6???

If he dares to, why not I am not going to bet?

Don't even think you can bluff by asking people to bet... only jerks will do that.

Again, you can't hide your insecurity, I know.

Not expecting you are so afraid..

Celtics missed their chance at great players and are back to being one of those young teams doing nothing.. After all that talk of AD Kyrie dynasty and talking shit.. back to the drawing board!

Who doesn't like kicking the Celtics when they are down. Especially with the meltdowns to receive. I had to come again just like the other Laker fans, and we will keep coming. :roll: :roll:

again, coming from a fan whose team hasn't prove anything yet

:oldlol: :oldlol:

typical lakers tard fan :oldlol:

Boston still has a solid team, and Kemba will fit into the IT game plan perfectly, Kyrie had to much of an ego.

Biggest loss they had was Horford and Baynes.

Either way, let's be honest here. The Eastern Conference is Philly and Milwakuee with a HUUUUUGE gap after that.

Would be shocked if any other team made the ECFs.

Yeah but I can admit that was cringy bad and pathetic. You cant admit Ainge is garbage.

[QUOTE=AirTupac]Yeah but I can admit that was cringy bad and pathetic. You cant admit Ainge is garbage.[/QUOTE]

Ainge built a 2008 winning team.

Because of one bad/not so good off season and how he is garbage?

Again, get the facts right, he stacked up for AD and was it his fault that AD not coming?

It would not be a one on one Kyrie for AD trade... some other players had to be added to make that trade happen.
It was just a business decision not to send Kyrie plus players/picks to get a one year rental of AD. Where did that blame come from?

Was it Ainge's fault KD and Kyrie tried to team up and leave?

The only surprise was just Horford, but he was asking for the money and number of years of contract that the team cannot afford. So, it was Ainge's fault also?

Ainge's strategy was good, to stack up the picks... but the whole trade/FA world in NBA is dynamic. Players have more power to bargain, and there are more teams can offer max/supermax contract than before. Players teaming up to form super teams is also another trend.

It is not just as simple as I give the FA max contracts or offer other teams a number of picks and will get something in return for sure.

Ainge's intention was good, but the outcome was just not expected.
The only not so good decision for me was, offering Hayward that huge contract. But God knows he would have a career ending injury in his first game of the club, while he was an all star and having a career year a season before?

As a Celtic fan for 37 years, I won't blame Ainge.

I mean if you think Ainge keeping you guys treading water and being middle of the pack is good. Then alright.

Hey AirMoron remember when you were yapping about Kawhi to LAL being a done deal and you ducked me 3 TIMES when I was trying to make a ban bet with you?

I said if Lakers land Kawhi I would be banned, and if Clippers land Kawhi, you would be banned. I would have been a hero but no, you had to chicken out as usual since you knew you were only spewing out bullshit to get attention
