I think Fultz is still more talented. He was out for 68 games this season but he will be good next season.

Even as a Celtics fan I have to recognize Simmons is far and away ROY.

It's all right. They got Ben Simmons:

You do understand that they traded the third pick (essentially Tatum) and the Lakers pick (if 2-5) or the Kings pick, for Fultz. I mean right now that trade is looking like a nightmare.

Trade bait IMO


If Rozier and Brown are enough for Leonard, Ainge has to pull the trigger.

Yup. Best case scenario for BOS is to resign Smart on a pretty cheap contract and then use all the momentum Rozier has built up in the playoffs and trade him. He's going to probably be too expensive for BOS to keep around after next year.

True. A great scenario this summer would be LeBron signing in Philly and Kawhi getting traded to Boston. Two juggernauts set to face off for the next half decade.

Oh this definitely the first of many battles to come.

what's your point?

Just a comment. Seems like a d-bag - smirking and complaining and playing keep away and such. Non-playoff game and non-injured thumb, Smart may have taken a swing.

Rozier is not going anywhere. He's under contract next year and is a RFA the following year. He is staying here for next year at the very least.

I figure it’s the same way a Celtics fan would feel watching Mitchell play :wink:

Nah more like seeing Giannis Antetokounmpo play.

We have Kyrie. Mitchell is damn good but nobody in Boston is missing anybody in this draft. Jayson Tatum is gonna be special

I recognize the individual greatness of Simmons and Mitchell and I love OG but Tatum has been my favourite rookie to watch. His offensive game is so ridiculously smooth, scary to think how good he'll be in 3 years.
