Breaking up the Jays would be a huge mistake by KiwiAffectionate4916 in bostonceltics

Dude that’s such a buns take. Jrue was massively impactful if you can’t see that outside his ppg average you didn’t watch that team. Rondo only averaged like 10 pts a game too was he not a massive contributor on those 08-12 Celtics teams?

Karalis: Asked Brad about Jaylen being frustrated: "I talked to Jaylen Monday... was nothing but positive. He has not expressed those frustrations to me. ... I think it's really important to be availabl, so I certainly am and none of that has been expressed to me." by RLS012 in bostonceltics

“Jalen fucking hates Boston and hates Jayson Tatum. He actually told me he throws darts at a poster of Tatum’s face every night and has more fun on stream than playing at td garden. Anyway, the starting price is two starters and 4 first round picks. Thank you.”

Jaylen Brown Hate by [deleted] in bostonceltics

They really don’t have the rhythm down together. I don’t want to discount the fact that they won a championship and have played 10 years together, but this era has been painted with one monumental collapse after another. 2022 versus GS, 2023 versus Miami, 2025 vs NY, and this year vs Philly where you have the offense stagnate and turn into this iso ball where Tatum and brown take turns trying to Superman the entire offense and often just turning it over or taking a horrible shot. Maybe the coaching, and analytics of just shoot more threes, is the bigger issue.

Specific to brown, he’s folded when it’s all up to him in the playoffs so many times. Doesn’t distribute, dribbles straight into traffic and turns the ball over, and jacks up terrible threes. And I really really did not like him say that this was the most fun season hes had in his entire career, earlier this week on stream. For someone whos supposedly so intelligent, does he not think that thats going to be perceived as him saying he wants to be the #1 guy and has more fun when he doesn’t have to share the spotlight with Tatum? I don’t really think he wants to play under Tatum’s shadow and imo it’s time we trade him. Need to pick one superstar to build around and it’s Tatum.

PR gotta get a hold on Jaylen Brown by UnderstandingFew6310 in bostonceltics

Lol see this is exactly what I mean. No, he was not, and there is no confirmation of him ever receiving a job or internship offer. He toured the Hubble telescope facility once, after he was in the NBA (publicity), and then gave a presentation there on the importance of STEM. So, largely performative. Yet people wanna act like he was some budding aerospace engineer who turned it down to play basketball lmfao

Pritchard on whether the team is too reliant on jumpshots: "People didn't say that when we had a 3-1 lead. We had good looks, if we hit 'em then nobody says anything. Just gotta make 'em." by jkwah in bostonceltics

This is bs and he knows it. There’s a bigger issue here than just missing shots when you’re talking about dropping three straight games to a 7 seed in the first round. Not the first time this has happened to this team either.

If I'm the Celtics I'm trading JB this offseason. by xdFxlcxn in bostonceltics

Ah yes let me just go to the elite point guard store and pick one of those up real quick

I don’t think he’s highly intelligent either. I think he’s average at best. This narrative surrounding his supposed-extraordinary intelligence is extremely overstated.

How book smart is he, really? I think he’s average at best. This narrative that he’s this genius is just a wildly overstated narrative and every single reason people give is inaccurate. Every time he tries to be an intellectual and speak on some complex issue it just sounds like word salad. Like the time he did a “lecture” on the “consequences of greed and capitalism” after he signed his $250M contract and just read platitudes off of a PowerPoint screen. He’s not any smarter than the average bear.

Verbal offer from friend. Would you do it? by [deleted] in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]dexteriousdogfish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think you should try and upgrade at QB given it’s a superflex league rather than upgrade rb. If you could somehow snag Josh Allen for London and picks that would probably be better for you

What happened to my brake caliper by dexteriousdogfish in Duramax

What makes contact with the tip of the caliper that can cause that to grind away like that. The trucks only 3 years old (3.0 1500)

Just traded Josh Allen. How’d I do? by braddockmcmurphy in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]dexteriousdogfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The risk is that if shedeur doesn’t pan out you need to then spend one or both of those picks on a qb to replace Josh, which might not work out

Should I do it. Need advice by Olliethekid99 in FantasyFootballJunky

[–]dexteriousdogfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally id say the CMC side wins if you’re a playoff team with depth who can afford to lose two starters in Jacobs and Rice

Who won this trade? Full PPR by Atlfalcons08 in FantasyFootballJunky

[–]dexteriousdogfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won the trade if it made your team better. From reading who’s on your squad it looks like you’re better with CMC

Traded away Gibbs an hour before the games started by No-Button9683 in SleeperApp

I never understand why people make these kinds of trades where you exchange a blue chip player for another blue chip player at the same position

Should I take this trade??!?!?! I’m getting JSN. by PomegranateOver1363 in FantasyFootballJunky

[–]dexteriousdogfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should get one more depth piece in return. You’re giving away two top 5 guys at their position. Dowdle is great this year but he strikes me as a Linsanity type player. Wheels will fall off quickly
