I thought he reached his ceiling and he's looking more like Kedrick Brown.

But Jaylen proved doubters wrong after getting that contract extension.

Jaylen works hard and is always trying to improve every year.

No matter what, I think the Celts should stick with Tatum and Brown, even if it them up to 2029 to get a ring.


:o :noway:

I may not make it that long!


That can change in a heartbeat.

If Brad can upgrade the roster in January or February, the Celts will have a shot at a finals appearance.

This current Celts team are only lacking shooting efficiency.
If Brad can surround Tatum and Brown with shooters, the sky is the limit for this team.

One of the biggest reasons why this Celts have the potential to go far in the playoffs is the great play from Al Horford this season.

Celts basically have most of the tools needed for a championship team.

But the reality is, in today's NBA, if you're not good from the 3pt line, you're not going to get to the finals.


yes, on paper adding shooters works.. but most teams value their shooters.. not so easy to trade for one.. but I am open for suggestions..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Brogdon or SGA will be what Jrue did for Milwaukee last season.

Even if only one move is made, by replacing Smart with a guy like Brogdon or SGA, the Celts' shooting will automatically improve.

I'd love to get some of the scrubs like Langford and Grant Williams off this team. They'll never ever trade Smart so thats a non starter. There's got to be a move they can make without moving Jaylen or Jayson this year.

Morey has looked bad all along during this whole ordeal. Morey knew he had a Ben Simmons problem at the end of last season.

I still think Simmons for Kyrie ends up going down. Nets and 6ers just need to come to terms with reality.

Here is the thing.

Philly can win an nba title with Embiid. We have players that can come in off bench and shoot for them and help Embiid.

I am done trying to say Philly sucks. They don’t. Neither do we.

Philly needs players to complement Embiid and not try and get a player equal to Simmons. He is a broken player and essentially worthless. He isn’t ever coming back.


This is like trying to sell your house when it is on fire. I don’t care what it was before the fire. It is worth what it is worth right now.


Hence the term, fire sale .

Pritchard is older than Tatum. If Pritchard was any good he wouldn't be sitting on the bench, or at least be a 2nd string.

I hear ya but Kyrie is also a house on fire. Irving Simmons swap is the only way either teams gets a star back for their star. On top of that the fit for both teams is really good. Philly gets a lead guard who can space the floor and Brooklyn gets a much needed boost to their defense. If the players are on board I don’t see why either team would object.

Outside of that swap I don’t see any other team giving up a star for Simmons.

Yeah I think the league has caught on to what many of us on RealgmCeltics have known for a long time about Ben Simmons. That he isn't that good. The fact that he cannot make a shot beyond 4 feet from the basket is alarming. Morey waited too long and now he's in a lousy situation.
The good news for Philly is that they still have Embiid. So even if they ultimately need to settle for a "less than star" return, they can still drastically improve their chances of coming out of the east if they make the right deal and bring in the right pieces.

Return to Boston Celtics
