hayward is going to go down as one of the top 10 highest paid players ever and he's made one AS team thats wild af
― discourse stu (m bison), Sunday, 22 November 2020 14:31 (three years ago) link
i mean wont be one of the highest paid for long, his new contract isnt even for the max, let alone THE SUPPERMAX

lol supper max, thats the cool way to say thanksgiving
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 14:41 (three years ago) link
it really doesn't make sense that the C's would hold out for Warren if the alternative was losing Hayward for nothing, I don't really get it. I am over my head with understanding the financial angle though. maybe Danny, in contrast to the rest of the world, thought Turner's contrast actually wasn't a good value?

feel like theres a lot we dont know like i havent even heard what indy was willing to pay hayward/how far apart they were on that, or if he had this hornets offer in his pocket the whole time, it def cld be possible that ainge just doesnt like turner or also maybe he thought there wasnt much risk of hayward taking a big offer from a shitty team
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 14:48 (three years ago) link
one things for sure i can seen why he was holding out for warren, the celtics have absolutely zero wing depth
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 15:00 (three years ago) link
celtics have zero anything outside of 4 good starters
― ciderpress, Sunday, 22 November 2020 15:14 (three years ago) link
the thompson and teague signings were fine imo both those guys shd be dece in their roles, but who backs up smart/brown/tatum theyve just got nothing
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 15:18 (three years ago) link
oh i missed those yeah those guys are fine not that fond of teague but as a backup whatever
― ciderpress, Sunday, 22 November 2020 15:40 (three years ago) link
now i’m wondering if the pacers were even willing to give up turner bcuz idk why the celtics wouldn’t just take him even in the name of asset accumulation
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 22 November 2020 16:47 (three years ago) link
maybe the pacers were waiting on bogdan before offering turner to the celtics and so hayward was just like, fuck it?
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 22 November 2020 16:54 (three years ago) link
yeah i mean who knows really weve got some tweets by a guy from the boston globe to go on basically
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 17:13 (three years ago) link
the reporting that jordan called hayward late that first night really has me thinking that charlotte detected the stalemate and increased their offer to get it done.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 22 November 2020 17:20 (three years ago) link
mj chasing a gambling high in fa negotiations, no other explanation for the wackiness of their signings in recent years
― discourse stu (m bison), Sunday, 22 November 2020 17:25 (three years ago) link
im not totally clear on the cap/tax implications of a hayward for turner trade but mb the celtics were worried abt only getting one quality player back because their bench is so bad, i know when they let hayward walk that allowed them to get under the tax line which gave them access to the full MLE with which they signed thompson, i cant find how much they gave teague but him and thompson are prob making around the same amount combined that turner makes and the celtics wouldve had to take back more than just turners salary in a trade which wouldve put them over the tax line started the repeater clock ticking etc
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 17:26 (three years ago) link
celtics have a couple small trade exemptions to fill out their wing depth and maybe could get a bigger one back or maybe even a player if they can work out a sign and trade for hayward
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 17:30 (three years ago) link
honestly for this year teague and thompson could be better than turner and randos but turner wouldve been more of "a piece", tho i think ainge is clearly in the dont pay for middling centers camp which is fair, and staying under the tax line is worth something too
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 17:35 (three years ago) link
but at least lamelo with come up under the strong leadership of gordon hayward

i will not miss hayward on the celtics that was not a great run
― lag∞n, Sunday, 22 November 2020 17:55 (three years ago) link
yeah he missed the year where they actually needed him and then returned as the 4th best wing rather than the 1st as he would have been

bad luck

this roster def cld make the offs in the east
Atlanta's starting five could be: Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Danilo Gallinari, John Collins, Clint Capela. Off the bench: Rondo, Kris Dunn, Onyeka Okongwu, Cam Reddish, Hunter, Tony Snell.

i think this is a pretty decent read on the situation. teague signed for either the minimum or the biannual which would be either 2M or 3.5M, plus tristan at around 9.5, is way less than turner at 17 or 18 plus something like mcdermott at 7 that indy would be sending back to keep their books reasonable. maybe ainge thought it was only worth going into the tax for turner/warren.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 22 November 2020 20:04 (three years ago) link
ok, my best guess taking tristan off the celtics books and adding turner and mcdermott would put them less than 3M away from the tax line with 14 players on roster and payton pritchard as the backup point guard.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 22 November 2020 20:14 (three years ago) link
Payton Pritchard is a gym rat who never stops practicing, the kind of player who has to operate at near 100% of his athletic ability every minute he's on the floor and must find a way to compete by being craftier than his opponent. He will at least be a better player than Grayson Allen.
― The Solace of Fortitude (Aimless), Sunday, 22 November 2020 20:29 (three years ago) link
hawks roster looks good on paper but it’s a bunch of guys who have never played together before jumping in to a weird abbreviated season + a franchise oriented around a PG who treats NBA games like AAU tournaments. is their coach any good? 8th seed is def within range but i’ll gladly take the under on them
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 22 November 2020 20:31 (three years ago) link
not sure what the east bottom feeders plans are but its possible that one of det/was/cha/orl fluke their way into a decent season
