I wanted him for Charlotte as I knew he could still play, it was just a stupid mix having him between Embiid, Simmons and Tobias at Philly.
Boston got him for a bargain and he's been great ever since


He was a major Embiid stopper, that’s the only reason they signed him. Ignoring hindsight, it was a solid move at the time

i just found it crazy how Horfords value suffered for it. Charlotte could have traded for Horford instead of stretching Batum to complete the Hayward signing. Instead they stretched Batum.

Was madness.

If Celtics lose this they should thank Hauser and Mazzula for letting him play

The Knicks are so good without Brunson.

Mazzulla will fix this.

Brunson resting on the bench is why Boston doesn’t have any players to pick on defensively. Why do you their offense suddenly started to suck after Brunson got on the bench?

Major credit to the Knicks for this major rally. They might have a shot after all.

boston prob want Brunson back in. Ball is moving more when he's on the bench.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

They’re even better without Towns.

That’s the two highest paid players on the roster too.
