He also hasn't been good defensively, and is mediocre on the glass. He was not even considered for the all star game this year, and there was no objection or pushback from anyone for leaving him off, even after Love went out. But I guess everyone else just doesn't watch the games like you do.


Lilliard, KP, Aldridge. Are they role players as well. There's a limited amount of slots. Doesn't mean such players are not all star caliber players

Based on what he's done this year, he has not been an all star. Horford hasn't even consistently been the second best player on the Celtics this year. Melo was selected as a replacement over him. And he's having easily his worst season, playing on one of the worst teams in the league.

Two of those guys play in the West, where the talent is much deeper. And the other is a 21 year old who has been hobbled all year playing on a terrible team. Horford is on the 2nd best team in the East and still got almost no all star consideration.

What number can Nothing wear?
I think 0 is already taken.


Nothing is a liability on defense. Too many 3 second violations.

Terry Rozier + Jaylen Brown + BKN 17 + BKN 18 + rights to Ante Zizic for Tucker should do the trick.

:lol: Alright, I apologize. One guy thought he deserved all star consideration.

Beal should've been picked in all honesty.

There you go over valuing our assets...typical Celtics fan, smh. You would easily need to offer crowder, bradley and yabs.

I enjoy the thought that he would get traded to Boston and show up wearing a New York t-shirt.

Olynk just posted "vibes are high #1" on instagram. Sources tell me this is very significant indeed

I mean that's definitely Logan and definitely Melo but there is a logical reason behind this. Ainge is not dealing for Melo. Probably a picture from last year.
