Why is everyone upset about this trade?

It's a good trade
We're about to have 2 top 4 picks in a good draft and a literal frick ton of young assets. All three of those players have potential to be good role players at the very worst
Chill out. This team is going to fun as hell to watch the next few years.
And we don't have to watch a mediocre roster built around a boring superstar, with no personality and bones of glass. I'm excited

Well, most people want to be miserable and don’t think things through.

I’m not. This is the trade I thought would happen. Excited about Ingram and eagerly awaiting the specifics on the picks and swaps

People have a massive chip on their shoulder against LA rather than being concerned with max value. You also have people who were deluded into thinking AD for Tatum straight up would have been a good deal.
Reality is Celtics weren't offering Tatum. This was a solid, albeit unspectacular deal, that has the potential to pay off big time down the road. LeBron isn't going to play forever.

Most people that are upset started following the team after the lottery so take their opinions with a grain of salt

Because it fricking sucks if we don’t manage to flip this for stuff that’s actually going to help us

This is an average trade that will take years to come to fruition. That’s the annoyance from the fanbase.
Just seems like spinning our wheels to get a few more wins.

I’d like to apologize for my earlier posts. This probably was as good as they could do.
I just didn’t think I’d be this disappointed.

If we got this exact trade from Boston people wouldn’t be melting

Because no Tatum and we didn’t land Kuzma.
I’d actually feel ALOT better had we landed Kuzma instead of Hart but it’s still not horrible I girss

Ingram has a higher ceiling than Tatum. Maybe a lower floor as well, but I think we got the better prospect.

People didn't want to bend over for Rich Paul and Lebron which I understand but with Zion these young prospects and picks which can be flipped if needed we have second life as an NBA franchise. Not many teams get that look at Orlando post Dwight or the Knicks still trying to find their way.

Most people seemed more concerned with sticking it to LA than actually getting a good deal
Posted on 6/15/19 at 6:41 pm to danman6336
Because people got their hopes up by only believing news reports that were positive for this team when in reality they had very little chance of happening.
For example
"12 teams are said to have put in calls for AD"
or
"Danny Ainge is super determined to use any asset to get AD"
or
"Since Kawhi brought a championship, more teams will put in offers!"
or
"Durant getting hurt is good for the Pelicans"
and many many more.
You guys let over-emotional fans (see: n fanatics ) dictate the information and opinions you received, making your expectations out of this world

Honestly, im upset we dont have Tatum. Once i get over the initial "frick LA" its fine.
Still dont think we are done and people that want Griffin fired over this are ridiculous.

I wont lie...if AD starts playing all 82 games i am going to be upset.

the Pelicans have a history of being injury prone. Now we trade for a guy who missed 40% the games in his first two years in the league due to a variety of injuries, another one with blood clot issues which may or may not have serious future ramifications, and another one who missed the end of the 2018-19 season just having knee surgery. The 3 first round picks sound better than they really are because the 2 after this year are going to be very late in the 1st round.
I do like the trad in theory though if all these injury issues turn out to be non issues
