Wow Brad Stevens actually did it. Even in the 3rd year of the Stevens Regime I'm so used to Danny I don't expect things to happen. No matter what results we actually end up with, this was a fantastic and GUTSY off-season.

Celts are not trading JB if the Cs win a chip in 2024.

Only chance JB gets traded is if 2024 ends horribly.

Depth doesn't win championships. Top end talent does. We have the best top 6-7 in the NBA. I would put them up against anyone and feel great about it. We got the hard part done... And people are upset about the easier part we have to deal with now. Which is finding decent end of the bench role players to give quality mins. Mainly for the regular season.

Doesn't make sense to break up the team if you win a championship.

It's not a guarantee that you will repeat as champs by trading JB for Luka.

Maybe on a video game it automatically makes the Cs better, but in reality, you have to factor in team chemistry or compatibility.

Reason why you make trades is to improve the team's chances of winning a championship.

The goal is not to have the most superstars on your team.

I appreciate Brad Stevens and Celtics ownership not playing it safe and going for it. Thank you!!

It's not a guarantee that you win by running a championship team back. If you can improve MASSIVELY you make the trade.
Hopefully we are in the position to debate that in the 2024 offseason.

I had Orlando as a third team in a Jrue trade. They can ship out a couple of their lesser guards. He could start for them alongside Fultz.

Youre spot on in terms of top talent winning titles. But we enough depth to protect zinger, Al and jrue, all who will miss time during the season. It's about trying to reduce the chances of that happening by playoff time though

lots of people are going to be surprised at how good -- at least occasionally -- guys like O'Shae Brisset, Lamar Stevens, and Svi Mildsfhialahsdflh look on this team. Guys 7 -- 15 on this roster are walking into their DREAM job at the Auerbach Center tomorrow. Do literally anything positive on the court at least a few times this season and the national TV announcers -- and BOS fans, myself included -- are going to be like "OH WOW"

Svi is going to be a lot better than people think
