He's a little washed but I'd rather take a center at 21 and have capela for a year than trade Dyson for Claxton just to pay him 20yr


Much rather this. I want to hang on to Dyson for the next two years and see where he goes. Get CC and draft one at 21. Griff is always overpaying the center position.

I just think giving up any asset/young player to sign a player is a “silly” concept unless that player is an extremely elite player. I just don’t think Claxton qualifies as that.

Why do we always seem to have to pay top dollar for a restricted free agent and other teams don't? Aka a first for Devonta Graham and not for Lonzo Ball? You generally don't trade much in assets for a restricted free agent if you are willing to pay them.

Because Griffin is an idiot at times.

Yep, I'm of the opinion that unless you have a star center, you're better off going center by committee than committing assets and salary for a mid tier center.

Dog days of the off season if we're resorting to actually taking Mac seriously.
Wasn't around much for a few days, probably time to do that again if we're just constantly talking about the stuff Mac makes up.

He claimed he knew all the offers the Pels have received for BI. Why are we still doing this

Celtics added 3 non extremely elite players in Porzingis, Jrue, and White...

I seriously have no idea how that dude is still relevant.

On top of having just asinine takes that don't make sense, he's shown countless times that he is not plugged in.

It's just wild.

You seen on this board how many people follow him and always bring up his takes. I don't follow him but I'd bet a shite ton of posts we have AR people just repeating what they see him say on Twitter.

People have said a few times that he wanted BI more than both Tatum and Brown, but now I'd bet anything he's taking victory laps and doing the "I told you so" about BI.

He has a million takes. Many miss, he and his minions ignore those, then he praises himself for the ones that hit, and people think he knows his shite.

I was talking about sign and trades. Porzingis was the only one that was a sign and trade if I’m correct? Also not sure what celts gave up for Porzingis.

I would be extremely pissed off if we traded Dyson so we can sign Claxton.

WTF do these threads exist? Where are our mods to delete them?

The guy has flamed and been banned from the board multiples times. He openly tried to sabotage and pull all the traffic away. Why would anyone post his garbage on here?

These threads need to be pulled. It's bad enough that people refer to him, even in jest. Now people are his proxy? This is pathetic..

Come on man. We have threads about Zion being fat and what Moriah Mills tweeted lol. But you’re pissed about a thread pertaining to a Mac tweet?

A thread about a Mac tweet is just as relevant as if you tweeted that we're interested in Claxton.

Easy. Borrego won’t be hired as head coach despite false rumors put out by his agent- start the thread.

You couldn't pay me to follow that clown.

Isn't his "source" someone that is high up at Tobasco? Like wow, insider stuff right there.
