Obviously, this would have been great in hindsight but you do the Kyrie deal knowing what we did at the time.

Who cares. It was 5 years ago and I love our team. Not worth thinking about.
There was a report that Danny could’ve dealt Kyrie to the clips for Shai in that last year
I too wish I made the correct decisions every time but that’s life lol
In the same universe we also could have picked Justin Jackson instead of Tatum. Can’t realistically do what-ifs in the NBA.
Idk if Shai would be as good as he is now playing behind the Jays
i don’t really believe anything Scal says at this point tbh
Oh this is fun. I want to pretend that Boston still trades for Kyrie but then flips him to Atlanta for the Doncic pick.
Scals been saying this since the beginning of the 2018 season. So I actually believe it.
I remember before I even knew who SGA was him going “now Boston wouldn’t have Sexton. That would have been SGA”
This means SGA is the list Brooklyn pick… not Sexton.
Nice
Moving for Kyrie was the right move and would have worked if Kyrie didn’t have brain damage. Having Kyrie as the third star with Tatum and Brown last year would have brought us the chip
I went through my old pre-draft diaries and found that I had rated Giannis and Jokic as the best overall players in their respective drafts
I wish
This is like the next evolution of the Celtics being in every potential trade talk when Danny was gm, instead of we would have made a trade it’s we would have drafted a pick
Eh I try not to put too much stock into what Scal says with regard to draft picks. He did not recommend Jarrett Allen because he was interested in building computers.
Scal is a crappier commentator than he was a player
Great, Tatum and SGA would have been traded for AD and Kyrie, Brown, and AD would be a terrible scenario.
Woulda Coulda Shoulda.
We also would have selected Durant had we not gotten fucked in that lottery
I mean it’s whatever now, but “SGA” as Scal has dubbed him, is indeed a baller.
it was the right move at the time
If wishes were fishes there would be a lot of them in the sea.
We have Tatum. And Brown. Can’t be greedy. Everything worked out as it should. How many great players do you expect to have? This team is already stacked.
Obviously we’re fine the way we are and shouldn’t really have any regrets, but I think the takeaway here is how spot on Ainge was in evaluating the 2016-2018 draft classes
I’m still hurt we got rid of Bane
Happy with everything
Who fucking cares
We would’ve selected him then traded him the same night just like we did with bane
I mean, Smart would without question be gone right now.
But imagine a big 3 of Tatum, Shai and Brown?
With Rob?
Everyone “almost selects” the superstar in hindsight.
If there’s a lesson here, it’s that you should always be wary of making a deal for a player that has demanded a trade.
Yeah and there’s another one where we draft Giannis instead of Maple Dick too but who the hell cares.
Oops
I didn’t need this.
One more reason to not like that walking filth of a human
Idk if Kyrie doesn’t go down in 2018 we win the championship. There’s no way we lose to that Cavaliers team with Kyrie. Also Kyrie was kind of chill his first season here.
Scal makes sh@t up.
Remember when we almost traded Pierce for the pick that would’ve netted us rookie Chris Paul?
