Boston New Big 3
+ Jrue Holiday
1-0 already
Are they the best team in the East Now?

You are trolling but I think the Celtics will win around 60 games this season. They are that talented

Somewhat on similar theme/question, but inclusive of whole league, please see this thread.

Career Playoff Points through Age 24 season
Tatum: 2236 (94 games)
Kobe: 2155 (97)
LeBron: 1761 (60)
Durant: 1546 (54)
Kawhi: 1100 (75)
Harden: 912 (55)
Jokic: 816 (33)
Giannis: 781 (34)
Curry: 281 (12)

2x All-NBA 1st team, 4th and 6th in MVP voting last 2 years, been to 4 ECF's (atleast 3 as the best player), went to a Finals

The 2022 playoff run featured him essentially ending the "Kevin Durant is the best player in the world" argument in a signature playoff series as well as a signature playoff game where he "out-dueled" Giannis in Game 6 by dropping 46 (28 in the 2nd half) to dethrone the defending Champs in a 7 game series.

~4th in MVP odds playing on the team 1st/2nd in Title Odds

It has been a hell of a start to this guy's career. I am very interested to see if that there is another level he can get to.

Should the Celtics trade Brown for multiple pieces to improve their depth?

not at this moment, he just got 36 pts, they are on a roll. If they don't win this season, then yes.

dominated
The 155 points was the most for the much-decorated franchise since the 1958-59 team that featured Bob Cousy and young stars Bill Russell and Tommy Heinsohn beat Minneapolis 173-139.

I like the fact they "made a move" in terms of Zinger and Jrue without breaking up their two most valuable assets in Tatum and Brown. They have the talent, but is Tatum on that very top tier of players you feel comfortable with as the alpha on a title team?

Yea feel like that with him too. Streaky player like Paul George and their games are similiar.
