What?

We have no idea what other offers SA has. Rozier and 2 lottery picks may already be the best offer. Also, if Kawhi isnt agreeing to sign long term and is not 100% he is not worth as much as you think.

Yeah, Jaylen is the best among the Saric/Covington/Ball/Kuzma/Ingram/Fultz group that could be on the table, and so far the highest upside guys there seemingly haven’t been offered yet. No need to raise the stakes even if it’s assumed the Lakers will eventually blink and give up everything.

I also assume he plans to end up wherever LeBron goes, which Boston has no control over. SA can still trade him elsewhere but I doubt there would be assurances.

How is Jaylen better than Ingram?

The same way any given player A is better than a given player B who is not as good as player A.

Brown's 21.

No other team is offering anywhere near tatum. Why should we offer him up?? Why are we bidding against ourselves?

Kawhi is a 1 year rental. Stop looking at this as what would I give up for Kawhi and instead think of it as what would I give for 1 year of kawhi.

Good thing you’re not the GM.

Afam will never be happy with any stars we have until Ainge invents a time machine and brings prime Jordan back with him to join the Celtics. Read his posts accordingly. Dude has been tediously begging for stars every year and still finds something to complain about every year even when we add stars. Sky always falling.

Look at the Warriors for example.

Steph Curry - Star

Kevin Durant- Star

Klay Thompson- Allstar

Draymond Green- Allstar.

Celtics just need one more star to be able to compete with the warriors. The road to winning a championship goes through the warriors for now.

Attack the post, not the poster please

Calling out garbage posts for what they are isn't trolling, the post saying Hayward isn't a star is trolling. You see?

Still trying to trade Rondo I'm sure.

There needs to be a lot more chill here. There are scenarios that are better/worse than others for us, but I think some underrate how good we can be running it back with a healthy squad.

Inactive since July 2016.

I've always wondered. We have hundreds and hundreds of posters who post here. Probably many thousands over the years. Actuarially speaking, a bunch of posters must have died by now, and we'll never know. They just stop posting one day and that's it.
