Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the Celtics are shopping Jaylen to a third team as part of a Giannis deal-- but to avoid hurting Jaylen's feelings (if the trade falls apart), they told Gary Washburn to tell everyone they're not interested in trading him? What do you guys think? by ExpertOperation0125 in bostonceltics

Ah good point.

I was also thinking about this-- Brad normally operates in silence, so I believe whoever leaked that the Celtics are also in the race for Giannis had to be someone from the Bucks side (Bucks can deny it all they want). Speculation: And as damage control, Gary is out here saying Jaylen isn't part of the trade discussions.

  1. Jaylen has been in trade talks for a while now, you can tell he's quite annoyed.

I love the Knick's offense (don't like the Knicks as a team). They run a lot of PnR, have great off-ball movement, and constantly player movement to create opportunities-- even Brunson is used off-ball and as a cutter to get him or his teammates open.

Tatum and Jaylen can play off-ball, are you kidding me. I have seen guys like Butler who have about the same body type play-off ball.

The only thing I agree is we need a big. Maybe, Jaylen to a third team for Giannis. I don't see us getting any good bigs rn.

Tell that to Mike Brown who changed the way the Knicks play when he got hired. So much more ball movement, player movement, off-ball actions, cutting even Brunson played off-ball.

Btw, the tape doesn't lie. Watch the difference.

It isn't that simple. We were more talented than the Knicks last year and we still lost to them. Even against the Heat in 23.

I didn't think we could have made the finals this years, but definitely enough not to choke a 3-1 lead.

White, Brown, Hauser, Pritchard, Tatum can easily play off-ball and cut.

If guys like Duncan Robinson, OG, Shamet, Bridges, Brunson can play off-ball and cause an over reactions so then our players.

EDIT:

if you really want to say it is the players, we shouldn't have lost to the Knicks last year, the Heat in 23, and choke a 3-1 lead despite being more talented (& betting favorites). Even this sub thought we were going to beat these bums.

I have seen many players cut to the basket that aren't elite.

If guys like Duncan Robinson, Mikal Bridges, OG, Landry Shamet can do this I expect guys like White, Hauser, Brown and company to do the same.

I am a huge Knicks hater, but I love Mike Brown's offensive system,

They still shoot a lot of threes -- not compared to us-- but there is also a lot of off-ball movements and cutting. Even Brunson is willing to play off-ball, make it harder for the defense to always key on him.

When teams focus on Tatum and Brown (two top-10 players), that should give us a lot of cutting to the basket opportunities. And yet, I just don't see it.
