2017-2018 Boston Celtics: No Irving! No Hayward! No Brooklyn Pick!

[czvo]

Five years or so from now Kyrie will have as many rings as LeBron. Don't fool yourself.
Boston will build a better team as much as I hate to think it. They will attract top players and won't make mistakes like we have.
I'm just the messenger.

Boston is going to win TWO titles in the next five years while the Warriors exist? Fat chance.

They aren't winning it this year, which means they'd have to win two titles in four years while Golden State is still intact.

Still the dumbest trade in the history of the Cavaliers. This one edges out Ron Harper.

It does because Kyrie was a better player. The second best in franchise history.

It actually dawned on me recently, we will never see a better Cavs team in our lifetime than the 2015-2016 squad. Once we traded Kyrie that cemented it.

I'm depressed. I miss him. I just want things to be the way they were... I want to have fun again.

Trading him to Boston was the death knell to Kobe Altman.

If we would have traded him ANYWHERE besides the Celtics, who still have a fuck ton of assets. They could presumably get Anthony Davis or some other major piece to add to their already stacked core.

We knew we would be seeing them in the playoffs again sometime.

Man did Dan Gilbert fuck up by firing David Griffin. Griffin has said on record that he knew of Kyrie's unhappiness and was already looking to trade him. If we would have ended up with Paul George, not only would that have been a wildly better return...

It would have kept the Celtics still clearly below us. We traded them our top 10 player to add to the soil of their ridiculously green garden.

Sending him to Boston was the worst decision we could have ever made. What do you expect? Dan Gilbert is the owner, and he is a jackass.

Look sure we miss the positive aspects of Kyries game but he had bad days too. He could of just as easily missed the big shot and he'd be in a different context. He looks better now cause he's doing better there than expected but it's their system and Brad Stevens both making it happen.
Kyrie had no respect or loyalty to us so screw him. He's gone, lets move on.
All we need is a decent point guard who fits in. Plus a few other players. Lue may be our biggest hindrance.

Now wait just a god-damned minute! You saying that Kyrie is better than World was? Better than Price? Better than Daugherty? Ain’t no way.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I'm depressed. I miss him. I just want things to be the way they were... I want to have fun again.

Hard to miss a guy who hated being here. He made the biggest shot in franchise history, but he never embraced The Land, which is too bad. He should have/could have had a statue in front of The Q.

At this point, it will be decades before the Cavs matter again. Time to start remaking the team. Start by playing and signing players who play hard every night and are happy to be here, and by sitting and trading the guys who won’t do that.

He's better than all of them.

I was huge fans of Daugherty and Price. Price is my favorite Cav of all-time. And I think, the third best Cav ever.

But Kyrie is better than him. I think even Price would agree to that.

 

[Tlyons]

Well the defense in Cleveland is worse now than it was with Kyrie.

Imagine us with Kyrie still here with the additions of Wade, Green, and Rose...fuck.

I blame everything on Coward though.

The Celtics will still win. Because they play hard every night.

They win games, even when they are undermanned, instead of losing to undermanned teams on 8-game losing streaks.

Better than World B. Free, for THREE?! Come on, Man!
