Exactly the scenario anticipated when we were about to sign JB to his max. Not complaining, we got a title out of whatever Brad did past few seasons, but that’s just the reality of it. All that penny-pinching and inability to improve the bench is due to having two max/supermax players.
Yep. Which is why the CBA is horse$hit. Celtics draft back to back all-NBA players and are getting penalized for it when both are in their primes. How does that make sense?
CJ McCollum in his feels for getting $lutted out by Golden State his whole career and makes this bull CBA.
Well we can't complain about the new CBA that much. We won a title last year. Brad was smart. He made a bunch of moves like the Jrue and KP trades right before the window closed for him to be able to do so..because then we'd be a 2nd apron team and unable to aggregate salaries in a trade which is how we got Jrue, White, Brogdon, KP, etc.
Brad swooped in, made his moves and won a title. And set himself up for a 2-year title window. We may have won the 2025 title as well, with better health.
But now the new CBA is really kicking in and the goal of it is competitive balance. This is what the league wanted. We've had 7 different champions in the last 7 years. If this keeps up, we'll have 30 different champions in 30 seasons. That's what the league wants. At least we won a title last year..
And the plan is to put ourselves in position to hopefully win 1 more title with Tatum/Brown/White. Which would be great, but the odds are against it..because the league wants a different champion every year, parity and competitive balance..
