I feel like tamales would have been a better get than the actual trade. Tamales are f****** delicious.
Eh, they deserved eachother. Ainge is a hoarder with a serious problem, and Pritchard is clearly stupid. Ainge passed on Butler and George for his precious picks, and Pritchard lost George and Teague in one offseason and got crap in return, not even one draft pick.
OK. All hilarious jokes aside. What is the real story with the Tamale Lady? You have some woman that delivers homemade or real good restaurant made tamales? Simply a delivery gal?
You got one douche that hoards picks and another one that could care less about them. So of course a deal between Ainge and Pritchard could never materialize. I really wanted us to deal for George, but the silver lining is how stupid Pritchard and Ainge look in this entire process. Plus we retain assets that we would have used to trade for PG instead to possibly trade for another player to pair with PG in 2018 or at the very least help dump Deng with. PG in OKC gives him a year to actively recruit Russ back home and with the Brooklyn trade along with the East getting ridiculously weak, we just might have helped Brooklyn improve their standing which only kills the value of the 2018 pick that is owed to those green douches. Also, we're in control of whether that 2018 Laker pick owed to the Celts will materialize into a 2-5 pick or not...and I guarantee it will not. Pair that with their Hayward-George master plan not materializing and them striking out on Butler and Blake to boot...and it feels good to see just how much Ainge is squirming right now. If we come out of this year with dumping MozDeng, I would call that a successful 1st offseason. Its interesting that the Suns are accepting salary dumps with young assets attached, cause we seem to have a package that could include those elements. Also, its interesting that Bron's boy, Bledsoe, is sitting on that Suns roster. Even if we swap out Deng for Chandler, you are looking at 4.5M over 3 years as opposed to 7.5 over 5 years using the stretch provision on those 2. BTW, what's this I hear about Lavar's new Big Tamale Brand. Now you got a big tamale to go with those big balls. Me thinks sirron should figure out the proper logo for that brand...and don't Gronk it up and have the Jumpman lawyers chase you down.
The Boston and Indiana dumb and dumbers only confirms my assessment of the overwhelming a**clownage that are in charge of NBA teams. Seriously. Pritchard comes out and whines like a little girl about PG and then take a s*** deal because his feelings are hurt? Are these men or 4 year olds?
It's all good. We know Westbrook's inability to hang on to a superstar next to him (another super skilled small forward that wants the ball too) add to it a guy that's announced his intention to leave regardless and it's a last-ditch effort by OKC with Westbrook to get it done. I'm sure they consider it their last chance with his option looming. And even if they like playing together it makes this an even more dangerous move for OKC. Westbrook may pack his bags after they fail next season and want to follow PG to LAL. Have to play a 2 though. Most likely both go their separate ways.
I would not be suprised if toward the trade deadline OKC trades PG13 to the C Bags for players and a high draft pick. OKC will have made out pretty good.
Why would Boston do that now? They've been gun shy this whole time. Don't see why all of a sudden at the deadline Ainge finally grows a pair and gives up his precious assets. Plus if OKC does trade him it's because he's heading to L.A.
Ainge knows Boston overachieved last year. If he gets PG13, they now expect a Finals trip or a title. When he doesn't deliver, it's a kink in his armor. His power / job security is a young roster and a handful of draft picks.
Boston just refused to part with those assets. If George is on the block, it's because he's going to LA. Why would Boston give up anything at that point? For a half a shot at the title? They might not even get Hayward now. If OKC is trading George at the deadline, it's to LA. Might as well get Clarkson/Randle for him now while the Lakers are going to let them go anyway.
