Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
The roster gets expensive if he's thinking about maxing someone besides Embiid.

The roster is going to get more expensive, so we're comfortable trading away picks that would guarantee us players on cheap contracts

I know it's been a while but this is how Colengaleo thinks.

This is the same guy that said he struggled to get offers on Bargnani and then Masai the very first year got a 1st rounder for him.

We're just talking about the logic in that tweet, which was bad. Not the trade itself.

I buy that Ainge just loves Josh Jackson, but if the Lakers wanted Fultz could they have beaten this package? Hmm

don't be an simple dude there's no way Vlade takes a break to have a smoke. He's probably got like 4 ashtrays in his office, another secret hidden one in the desk and portable one in the belly pocket of his tracksuit

I think, if nothing else, this is confirmation the Celtics probably would have just taken Jackson #1 if they couldn't have traded down

Now Celtics fans just have to trust that Danny Ainge is a good enough talent evaluator to buck the conventional wisdom regarding the tiers in this draft...

He's not a great talent evaluator, unfortunately. He like his scrappy d guys and sometimes it works out but sometimes it ends up with him offering 6 picks for Justise Winslow. I hope he's just being an rear end in a top hat and trolling everyone
