I don't know why this wasn't more obvious (Al leaving) - he has no incentive to give us a big cut when contenders have money to spend and he can get it. I have no doubts he liked it here, but he can find another great situation and not take a pay cut (or maybe get a raise?).

The hits keep on coming. If a team pays $20m/year X 4 for Al, years 3 and 4 could be very bad. Al's shooting percentage was Kyrie bad during the playoffs. 41%.

It looks like karma is catching up with Kyrie. The Nets are reportedly going to pass on signing him without a commitment from Durant.

It looks like karma is catching up with Kyrie. The Nets are reportedly going to pass on signing him without a commitment from Durant. Will he consider us now? Would the Celtics organization, the players and fans want him back? I mean, maybe AD would have signed with us if Kyrie was committed to us (even if AD would only stay a year. Maybe Horford reups with us, knowing we’d be title contenders with Kyrie and AD.

I read an interesting article on draft day trades (NOT rumors that they are in the works, just the author's take on realistic scenarios). bleacherreport.com/articles/2841735-realistic-trades-we-could-see-on-nba-draft-night#slide5 One has Baynes, Time Lord, #20 and #22 for Capella. The other Hayward for Chris Paul. No idea if this happens, but would have an interesting line up of CP, Brown, Tatum and Capella. Could use MLE or #14 for a PF. Even more interesting if the 2 speculative Houston trades are combined with Smart/Brown/draft pick for Beale. Then we have CP, Beale, Tatum, Capella and could use MLE for a PF and use Bird rights to bring Mook back. I waiver between trying to load up like this or keep Brown, Tatum, Time Lord and fill in with all our picks.

If my options are to trade for CP and Capela, and then later add Beal, or stick with Tatum and Hayward + add Vucevic, and build through the draft, I’m inclined to choose the latter route.
I’m no longer the CP fan I once was, and Capela doesn’t do it for me. And I’m a bigger fan of the Hayward / Tatum tandem.
