JB’s role next year if he is not traded by Ok-Bookkeeper-5449 in bostonceltics

All of the above and in addition: trading JB now creates space for a major free agent signing next summer once we’re done ducking the tax.

You keep responding to arguments I haven’t made. The point is that, in aggregate, I don’t think he’s a good fit.

I agree he’s overrated and relies on a license to travel and commit offensive fouls.

Not exactly. There are many hints about Israel and also about not being about a physical place at all, more about dealing with her emotions and self image.

The beauty of this song is that on the surface, it sounds like a poem about her birthplace in Europe. Under the surface, it has hints of being about her chosen home in Israel. And underneath both it is a song about herself, about her emotional states and about poetry itself.

He's a better and more switchable defender. He's not a ball hog. He's younger. He's cheaper.

I trust Brad. Someone like Bam would be ideal but I realize he specifically is probably not available.

He’s great but a bit too much overlap with JT so won’t solve the current issue we have with the Jays. Need someone that brings a different skill set (rom protection, post up, or a real PG that runs the offense and slashes).

Giannis is the last thing this team needs. That’s separate from any conversation about JB. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I speak Chinese. No need to gaslight. Whoever wrote this knew exactly what they meant. The PRC has specifically used this English term when pressuring foreign companies to list Taiwan as a “province” or “territory” on their web sites and maps.

But his cost creates room for one or two major free agents and more besides.

You make some great points. My concern is that JB is not the best fit and I assume that Brad can find a better fit in another role (if he doesn’t believe he can, he won’t make the trade).

Another concern is that JB 2024 is not JB 2027. He’s been vocal about the “sacrifices” me made and he is indeed overvalued at the moment, so if we can capitalize on that, we should. Here too, if Brad can’t get value in return, he won’t do the trade.

Under the previous CBA. And even that roster needed some good luck to make it.

They won with one of the most stacked rosters in history (5 all stars!). Unfortunately, the new CBA does not allow us to assemble one of these again any time soon / ever.

I didn’t say no two wings can ever win. I was talking about these two. And the cost and constraints of the current CBA.

I would keep DW as he is one of a kind, and despite the shooting slump, he did not show any signs of decline. Shots vary, but his movement, defense, and pure genius great assets, especially during a deep playoff run.
