Change it to Tatum instead of Brown then move Hali for more firsts and build around Walsh.

I’m all in on that.

Last word on the JB-JT thing. It's infinitely harder for Tatum to get to the level we want him to be at than for Brown to get to where he can impact winning more. I mean, I'm basically asking JB to be a high-level role player that plays within the team offense and focus more on defense. That's easier than becoming a top 3 player in the league if egos can be set aside.

bleedgreen does lol, he thinks we should trade Tatum and build around Jaylen.

More like you get more for Tatum, Jaylen has more drive to win. Like would you want Joel Embid or Jimmy Butler?

Butler for Tatum?????
You must be out of your freakin mind!

Butler and Lowry for Tatum and Brown makes a ton of sense.

This is not bad.

Keeps the Celtics grounded.

They have a long way to go.

If Jaylen has more drive to win, why does Tatum do way, way more to actually help us win?

It’s absurd after the last three years that anyone would dare to argue about Brown over Tatum.

Brown was flat out embarrassing against Miami last playoffs

Well as Chris Gasper says
"A reality check: Brown and Tatum would already have a championship if Tatum merely played representative basketball in the 2022 NBA Finals instead of wilting. But Brown’s probably to blame for that somehow, too."

Championships take time and tweaking the roster to obtain.

You really counting out this team this early on in the season is a hilarious take.

Maybe have a timeout and really think before posting next time?

It’s like some on here don’t look at what other teams are doing and forget the regular season is a bit of a rollercoaster.

Bucks lost to Chicago the other night, Miami lost to the Pacers.

We can still look to add another bench guy too which I hope they do.

Think we really lack another calming veteran presence out there at times when the starters are struggling a bit


Couldn’t agree more mate.

The NBA has changed a lot with how easy it is for teams to score nowadays, the final scores we are seeing are just outrageous.

We added two core pieces in Holiday and Zinger, completely changing the dynamic and it will take time for those 2 and the whole team to gel.

We are 15-5.

Bench will undergo some changes but I’d say we are tracking better than I expected to start the season.

Yeha I think all the absurd shooting is what makes it so hard to win every night now and why at least recently it feels like elite teams are blowing more games than ever in the regular season.

If the last two seasons have taught me anything it’s that there is zero point overreacting to what happens in December.

Under Ime we were absolutely awful until the mid year and made the finals. Last season we started hot as, had some bad losses in the new year and lost to a team that almost missed the playoffs.

We are in a good spot at 15-5 and still have room for improvement. I don’t think a proper assessment Can be made until February/March.

I’m also having fun watching this team most nights so I really don’t get the anger from some people.

Enjoy the ride lol
