Pierce-Garnett gave their blessing on that one.
Ray Allen was a free agent.

That was just a dumb trade.

Don't get me wrong, I would've done those respective trades too but they weren't looked upon favorably from the player side is all.Pierce-Garnett gave their blessing on that one.

Kevin Garnett says trade to Nets ‘was perfect for me,' and it’s been perfect for Celtics, too
Kevin Garnett waiving his no-trade clause may have single-handedly rebuilt the Celtics
Kyrie Irving, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum becoming Celtics all resulted from KG waiving his no-trade clause.

These would have been harder if the pattern used their tertiary colors from the 90s (Teal/Pink/Orange)

Boston has been too content to just be around the mix instead of going all in to win a chip. This trade would actually be a shift for them in terms of philosophy.

That's the NBA or any type of sports franchise in the world. It's a business.

Nets hired lobbyist to push NYC mayor to change vaccine rules to exempt Kyrie Irving
HoopsHypeMon, July 25, 2022 at 3:10 AM
It’s clear the mandate change and Irving’s stance put an end to those title hopes. Sitting second in the East on Jan. 15, the Nets dropped 16 of 21 after Durant suffered a left knee injury. They fell to eighth by the time he returned six weeks later — and Tsai took action. On Feb. 6, Irving said, “Anything can happen these next few days, the next week. Just crossing my fingers that something can come up either before All-Star break or even just after.” Two days later — with the Nets on an eight-game losing skid — they hired ex-New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson to lobby new Mayor Eric Adams about changing the mandate so Irving could play at home.

Makes too much sense for both teams and KD.
Boston gets the best chance to win a chip .
KD on the best basketball situation. He can have his iso’s too and not have the defend the best player.
Nets are going to get the best player they can land in brown. Hey be competitive with medium sized contracts they can move around for flexibilty plus picks

I find it very odd that we had no news all weekend but now Monday morning when the new cycle starts we start getting reports. Very convenient

They canceled his sig line but I think he’s still under contract

Especially when you consider Brown is leaving in 2 years anyways (likely given the signs) and his value next summer will be lower bc he will be in that “one year left, trade me now knowing I’m likely leaving” window.
Plus he doesn’t make a ton of money now so next year trading him alone won’t net you a player as good as KD.

If these are indeed old talks, why would they leak today?

Nobody is saying the Celtics were wrong for trying to improve their team. It’s just the perception is that they don’t care about their players and they will trade them in a second to improve their team.
Sometimes perception = reality.
Maybe but relationship always matter. Maybe the player(s) are smart enough to realize it’s a business. Maybe they hold a grudge that goes into free agency. Who knows.

Im of the belief that a franchise like the Celtics shouldn't be geeked to ***** out for a "star". They're the most all time winningest franchise. Not the Raptors. You have a championship caliber team in place already with 2 drafted stars at 24 and 25 years of age and more than enough help around them. They've gotten better around the margins w/ Brogdon and Gallo. Run it back. It'll feel much sweeter if that team breaks through.
EYE wouldn't blow that up for 34 year old post-achilles KD.

Lakers are doing that right now with Russ, did it with all their prospects a few years ago
Jazz with Mitchell and Goober
Blazers just traded CJ
Nets might be in a situation where they trade Harden, KD and Kyrie in lik a 8 month span
Toronto trade Demar
Hawks have dangled Collins
Literally can go on and on
It's the NBA
