    Love that Ainge doesnt give a shit about Rich Paul’s threats. Still going after Anthony Davis
    You love that he would give up a ton for a player that-
    A-won't get them over the hump and
    B-will only have them for a year

    What's not to love about it?
    The Celtics are back to square one.  It's amazing how the whole thing pretty much fell apart.  Their two prized pickups both busted out.  
    I'll repeat-

    Anthony Davis is NOT a game changer.

    Prove me wrong, g'head.
     I have no interest in arguing for Anthony Davis.  I'm just pointing out how the Celtics have fallen apart.

    Im a Pels fan. Of course i love it.  

    And he’s excellent.  Top 6 or 7.  But not an alpha.

    I know why he didn't make the all-nba team now.

    He didnt make AllNBA because he pulled this diva stunt with 1.5 yrs left on his deal.  We cut him down to 20 mpg for the last three months.  Cant wait to trade his ass.

    That is one reason.  

    I hope you get all you can out of the Knicks for him.

    He'll be a Knick.  They are harbingers of sorrow...This type of behavior behooves them.

    I used to think that AD was a top 5 players but when I look at my top players in the NBA all of them took their team to the playoffs this year.  however, while I don't think he is a game changer but I would say that he playing with lebron would make them a top team.

    I thought he was great too.  I hear all the time how great he is but then I look at the Pelicans record and only twice in the playoffs.

    You can be great but without making your team better I don't know.

    Playing w Lebron could be interesting.  Not sure how using Anthony as the pivot would go for his game though?

    Id rather have him than not have him but he has his issues.  He’s a stat machine but he’s not going to will you to a win.  Dirk wanted the big shot.  Barkley wanted the shot. Duncan.  Etc.   he doesnt.  That and he’s pretty soft.  Goes to the locker room for xrays every four games. 

    The most he’s helped us is with this trade request.  Owner cleaned house.  New GM.  Won Zion Williamson.  Looking forward to the haul we get for trading AD

    Did you see  Thompson landed?  That looks real bad. Hope he is all right.

    Out for the game.  Yet the raptors never take a vantage of this stuff. They need to take advantage of these injuries.
