Celtics have been doing it for years. Ainge is stealing value and draft picks from anyone that is still willing to trade with him. It started with the KG/Pierce trade. He robbed the Nets, Mavs, Hornets and many more. This year they can use three additional 1st round picks to add talent to a core that just made the ECFs.
They are shuffling their Silverlings they got for trading their Dirks and singing the top FAs. We were after the same player this year and he didn´t even blink before chosing them at the moment the Sixers made Horford decline his overpayed last year.
By the way what would you call the Luka and KP trades other than stealing value.
But I see where you are coming from, I tought about them too, but to me they don´t belong. Would accept them as 4 of 30 better than us. Heats and OKC will be the next in line.
€dit When I think about it, they are clogging their caps with aweful contracts and find a dummy to give them gold instead lol.
