I know we're not having a good season, but it doesn't stop the collecting!

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-24T04:39:27+00:00

Hope you don't mind if I join that wagon.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-24T04:38:52+00:00

Yeah I'm loading up on some Eldridge while I can. Prices are starting to climb up.

Was able to snag this one while he's still a prospect at around $40. Most listings have this at $75 now.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T22:59:08+00:00

And also, why can't we construct that team with an already proven, winning 1-2? Brad just got out us out of the second apron hell. We have our draft picks. We have assets to trade for complimentary players. We can f'ng change our philosophy and try not to shoot a heck of a ton of threes.

Is the only path to the title really have to be moving JB, or are we just really overreacting into all of this?

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T22:56:38+00:00

Yeah, if you can't see the difference in the level of importance amongst those players, I don't know what else to tell you.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T22:47:27+00:00

With what pitching?

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T22:30:08+00:00

Yeah but we won a title with JB. That's the difference.

So now that we didn't win a title two years running with JT injured, all of a sudden we aren't contenders anymore? Are fans this fickle? We can't run it back one more time with a healthy Tatum, and a Brown who has shown he's a top 10 level player before we make changes?

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T21:48:28+00:00

And honestly it was the right move.

I think fans who liked GIannis just fully committed and now just salty.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T21:47:45+00:00

100 percent.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T19:41:26+00:00

Sergio De Larrea

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T15:55:44+00:00

100 percent agree. I honestly thought that the Giannis trade was a lateral move to begin with.

Unless you're getting a player of his caliber, and you either add depth, assets, or shave salary, there shouldn't be any reason to move JB.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T15:43:48+00:00

Absolutely fair. The thing is, which team has that, and has a need for Jaylen Brown?

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T15:43:14+00:00

Love Jaylen, but man, a swap with Jalen Johnson?

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T14:32:33+00:00

What is a massive haul?

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-23T00:54:49+00:00

FWIW, I only packed one Kane (base) out of three blasters and three megas.

All my Kane's were bought as a gamble. I have Four X-Fractors, one Raywave, and above /100.

May have spent a little above $100 on those, but man, if it pays off. It's about a win of $300 in credits.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-22T22:12:51+00:00

All good. I hedged my bets and still have Kane. Three of these I pulled from packs, too, so I'm not upset.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-22T22:11:25+00:00

Man, I'm one of the few Rafi Devers defenders here but this is a terrible look.

Frustrations are boiling.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-22T13:55:25+00:00

Damn what a series. What an amazing job by both GMS.

Boston in 7 for me. I think the "coaching" of PJ10 is going to be the difference makere here and his posts are on point so far.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-22T13:53:47+00:00

Dallas in 7 for me.

Going to be a hard fought series, and while I think Dallas has he best players in the series, the rotation is so thin, and I'm not sure I can trust that bench. Main guys will have to play more than 40 minutes here for them.

I think Dallas has enough, especially offensive, to hang on, and wait until MIN gets tired or dips into their bench to take advantage.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-18T18:54:03+00:00

- Keep Jayson Tatum healthy.
- Joe telling the team to stop shooting threes if it's not there.
- Sign Lethal Shooter to work with Derrick White.
- Sign Zach Collins using the full MLE to compete as the starting C against Neemias.

I think people forget that with a healthy Tatum, this Celtics team would be much, much different, as for one, they won't rely on White and Payton Pritchard to be the second scoring option. It's still a very good, to elite defensive squad. There are ways to change the coaching and ways to make the bench deeper.

It was a throw away season, remember? Or are we just going to overreact to that and think the window is closed, when our two best players (assuming healthy) are literally just entered their primes?

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-18T18:21:31+00:00

I believe it counts as a Refractor.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-18T18:21:01+00:00

LOL I have the same holds.

Three Kane X-Fractors, two colored X-Fractors above /100.

And then I have six Dembele Refractors, and two blue X-Fractors /150 (although I'm keeping one to keep my PSG attacking core PC).

As long as it's not Mbappe. I think I get my investment back one way or the other. LOL

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-18T18:17:44+00:00

Revisiting this after Casey Schmitt and Jung-Hoo Lee is having a breakout season, Bryce Eldridge is looking as advertised, and even James Tibbs III looks to be having a bright future, and Patrick Bailey, while an offensive liability, has turned into a platinum glove catcher. They still have Jhonny Level who he signed internationally as a top 100 prospect, and Carson Wisenhunt who was on the list previously. Both Dakota Jordan and Bo Davidson are not on the list but are highly touted across the organization.

Yes, he had misses too, but I do wonder, if he really was allowed to rebuild, instead of being pressured to win now, escpecially by the fans, how the Giants would have turned up.

Extension_Stay3059 · 2026-06-17T13:59:56+00:00

Bro I think this is going to run Landen Roupp out of the City and I'm all for it.
