It's easy, and only takes a few moments.True, but of all the f**king question marks on this team, the one thing you DIDNT need was an elite point guard. we just unloaded all of our best assets for something we already had..
Danny Ainge is just spinning his tires in mud with this deal
One title's not enough. They already had a high end point guard. What they don't have is franchise level bigs. That's where the Brooklyn pick was supposed to come in.
That's gone now.
Danny makes a lot of really stupid decisions. This is one of them. This team, whether with Irving or Thomas, is not ready to beat the Warriors, even if it gets lucky enough to get by the Cavs. Getting the big was what was needed against Golden State, and Ainge just flushed that opportunity down the drain.
We just gave up a ton of key supporting players and our team leader to our top rival for a guy in kyrie who, while super talented, has shown no ability to lead a team on his own. Tell me please how the C's are now the "clear favorites" when they just got worseYou can hate the trade but the Cs weakened the conference favorite and is now the clear favorites to go to the Finals

If the current reports are true, this is the kind of stupid trade that gets GMs/team presidents fired.

I hope the part about the Brooklyn 1st rounder next year is BS because that would make this trade god awful.
Not as sure as you about the phrase "clear favorites."You can hate the trade but the Cs weakened the conference favorite and is now the clear favorites to go to the Finals
So this guy Ainge didnt think an elite big (which the team needs more than anything) like george or butler was worth trading the brooklyn pick and key starters for, but trading for a point guard that does the same thing that our best player already does somehow IS worthy of that trade? Thats some logic right there..
Please feel free to explain how this deal even has a chance to make Ainge immortal.
big enough and talented enough to matchup on lebron, so yesThose guys are Bigs? Jesus I really need to catch up on basketball

From the Celtics’ perspective, the deal not only gets them Irving, but means they don’t have to worry about handing a long-term, lucrative deal to Thomas, who may have already had the best season of his career. With Kyrie in green, Thomas had to be included in the deal, as he would not have accepted a role backing up Kyrie. Even though Thomas hit all the necessary plot points this summer to gain the favor of Boston fans everywhere, trading him was a no-brainer when it meant that Boston would get Irving, who will now slot in alongside Gordon Hayward and Al Horford to create a very competent big three, in addition to glue guys Marcus Smart and Marcus Morris, as well as young guns Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
