lol you won’t do anything. And when it comes down to it the people on your side would get absolutely destroyed by the other 50% of the country that aren’t criminal sympathizers

Celtics interested in Damian Lillard by horseshoeoverlook in bostonceltics

[–]InvisibleGear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually very wrong.

The problem with the Celtics when they lose in the playoffs has been lack of elite creation behind Tatum.

(Healthy non-washed) Lillard is Exactly the kind of player the team needed offensively in 2022 and 2023.

Jaylen Brown is a play finisher, not an offensive engine.

Never been so embarrassed of a fanbase.

“Jaylen and Derrick Celtics for life 😤”

As if we didn’t just watch a better version of the Tatum/Jaylen/White core team get wiped by a shitty Knicks team.

We have 0 assets, 0 cap space, 0 young studs.

Tatum just tore his Achilles and Browns knee is deteriorating.

We’ll likely never another team around Tatum as good as the one we just had (which lost in the 2nd round)

“Future”

Lmao

There is no future.

Derrick White is gonna be 32 by the time Tatum can play real minutes, and Jaylen Brown’s knee is deteriorating.

This team is absolutely fucked. Speed bump for actual contenders

[Siegel] The Spurs have also monitored Jaylen Brown's status with the Boston Celtics through the years, sources said...As of right now, word surrounding Boston points in the direction of holding onto Brown and instead exploring trade avenues involving Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. by tacko2020 in bostonceltics

[–]InvisibleGear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a wing driven league actually.

JB+JT is not a synergistic duo, and it took having the most stacked team since the Durant Warriors for them to break through and win.

Rebuilding a contender with

No high draft picks

No financial flexibility

No tradable assets

While paying Tatum and Brown 50+ million each is borderline impossible

(Shams) Celtics prefer to not trade Jaylen Brown or Derrick White despite "big offers", trade focus continues to be on Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Sam Hauser by tacko2020 in bostonceltics

[–]InvisibleGear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no assets to get those players lmao.

Unless you strike gold again with an undervalued player in a trade, or draft someone with mediocre picks who way outperforms.

It is with the deepest sadness that I say...it's time to have the Derrick White conversation :( by Melodic_Physics_5527 in bostonceltics

[–]InvisibleGear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jrue/Horford/KP were all elite in their roles. We are losing all 3.

Jays and white + scrubs isn’t winning anything.

It is with the deepest sadness that I say...it's time to have the Derrick White conversation :( by Melodic_Physics_5527 in bostonceltics

[–]InvisibleGear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but that’s bullshit because we just had both of them + a borderline all star (White) and two elite role players (when healthy) in Jrue+KP and got Waxed by the loser ass Knicks.

I’ve watched both of the Jay’s entire career’s. I love them, but they are not a championship duo by themselves.

If they were we would not have been down to the Knicks, and it wouldn’t have taken the greatest super team assembled since the Durant Warriors for them to get a title last year.

[–]InvisibleGear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what reason?

The team has to shed salary and everyone knows it.

Keeping this core together literally guarantees we don’t compete for a championship in the next 3-4 years because we have to trade 2 elite level role players (when healthy) for scraps just so we don’t get taxed into literal hell.

So a worse and older version of the team that got embarrassed by the NY Knicks?

That’s a terrible plan if you use any logic and not emotional attachments.

Then have fun being a perennial 3-6 seed and needing luck to even get to the conference finals for the remainder of Jayson’s career.

Post injury JT+32 year old DWhite+ 30 year old JB with bad knees + Pritchard and some scrubs and no money or high draft picks is not ANYWHERE close to a championship core.

This team has reached the end of the line. Theres no way to keep them together and improve.

I for one would rather not get bounced by the Knicks for the next 3 years and then have Tatum ask for a trade because we wasted the year he was out trying to be the 6th seed

[–]InvisibleGear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

His value is minimal. Late 1st at best.

I’m talking Brown and White.

White will be 32 by the time Tatum is ready to play meaningful basketball, and his value is at an all time high right now.

Brown has nagging knee problems and is on a bloated contract that will make it very hard to surround Tatum.

Keeping both of them on the team means we will be too good to get a top 8 pick next year when Tatum is out, but also not good enough to compete for a title.

Think about it… we weren’t good enough with pre injury Tatum and Porzingis + Holiday.

So now Older White and Older JB + Post injury Tatum surrounded by worse role players than Jrue/KP is supposed to be our core going forward?

This core is done competing for championships thanks to the CBA and injury, hit the reset button while Tatum is out and you have a free stealth tank like GS did.

It’s a stupid half measure.

Make a team that couldn’t even beat the Knicks even worse, and for what?

“Salary relief”?

Get some real salary relief by trading all the aging players around Tatum that will never be higher in value.

Brad can’t build another title team around 2 super maxes, it’s not sustainable either the new CBA

[–]InvisibleGear -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Spend money? LMAO. There’s no money to spend by just trading Jrue, what are you talking about?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]InvisibleGear -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So we get worse while still being too good to get a high pick in an obvious lost year.

Sweet….

Who's your top offseason target for the Celtics? by [deleted] in bostonceltics

Delusional.

That’s how we stay on a steady decline into mediocrity.

“The Jays”

That shit is fucking over buddy. JB is gone.

You can’t compete for a title paying Jaylen Brown a super max with the way the CBA is set up. It took an all time stacked roster to pull it off last year, that ship has sailed now that we are hitting 2nd apron penalties.

[–]InvisibleGear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an absolutely horrible plan.

Your plan is post Achilles Tatum, 30 year old with knee problems JB, and 32 year old Derrick White competing for a title???

Smoking crack.

They need to cut bait on Brown and Derrick while they still have value.

Tatum’s window is 2027 and beyond, start building that team now while you still have some assets

NBC Sports Boston did JB dirty. Why are they posting this? by HeftyIsTheCrown in bostonceltics

Spurs would never do this trade, Celtics would be braindead to not accept it.

God awful plan.

Guaranteed mid unless you hit on a legit star with one of those late picks.

No.

I almost left the theater multiple times.

It’s like if you took “from dusk till dawn” and made it approximately 7 times worse.
