The Reason we didnt trade with Boston

My friend works at an intern for the hornets, and is close with some of guys that really know what happened. So here it is. Early in the day – Boston and Charlotte had agreed on a trade –

Charlotte gets-

Jared Sullinger (But we really wanted Smart)

16th

28th

And future 1st rounder uprotected

Boston gets-

9th pick overall

 

The Boston reneged and started trying to do other deals and never made this one official. So when everything they tried after reneging on us

So then they tried to trade with every other team up until our pick. Then they made last ditch effort and didn’t want to include Sullinger anymore, which was a sticking point for them.

The last ditch effort was

16th

28th

1 unprotected 1st

1 protected 1st

2 2nd round picks

 

But we wanted either Sullinger or smart and Celtics just wanted to get rid of all their picks. So we passed on the trade.

They broke this down on the radio this morning and it made sense.

Sullinger following the Hornets that afternoon was no coincidence, and our backing out at the last minute is why Ainge decided to direct his anger our way in his press conference instead of all the other teams to which he allegedly offered the deal.

If a trade was agreed upon to the point the Celtics told Sullinger he was headed this way that afternoon, there's only one way that was pulled back later in the evening: Michael Jordan is back in the GM driver's seat.

Ainge has been desperately trying to save face after all this.

We weren't the only team to decline their "offer", they tried to get the Knicks to bite too.

I don't blame us for staying at 9.

If there is anyone who should feel embarrassed about this, it's the Celtics.

As a Celtics fan, I can attest to the fact that no one is really happy with Ainge at all. He should have gotten rid of Sully, considering we drafted Jordan Mickey from LSU, a very similar player. We also got Rozier, a defensive, poor-shooting PG, aka another Marcus Smart.
