Here are some facts:
- It has been a disappointing first 42 games. Expectations may have been too high.
- Tatum hasn’t looked like the “star in the making” we all thought he would look like this year.
- Hayward is a shell of himself
- Jaylen hasn’t improved his game much.
- Brads coaching/rotations can be questioned from time to time
- Rozier needs to go
- Tatum, Brown, King’s pick, Grizz pick, Clips pick is a better starting package than LA’s for AD.

K Irving is a top 10 player in the NBA. I would like to see him with GSW roster. I don't see him sticking around if we continue to play lazy no heart B-Ball. Our so call young stars are not living up to their expectations. I'm not surprised with Brown because I always thought he was a off the bench player which he hates. His attitude and play shows that he will not except his roll, so IMO he has to go. Tatum is a complete disappointment. He is selfish, soft and a me me (Kobe-itis) player.

Last play wasn’t why they lost. You have to make free throws earlier, play better D and it’s an easy win.

Yup.
I would like to see him with GSW roster.

I don't see him sticking around if we continue to play lazy no heart B-Ball.
If we continue to lose to mediocre teams, have these "incidents" on the sideline during games, and ultimately collapse early in the playoffs then yes it wouldn't shock me for him to be wearing another uniform next season. Although he agreed to stay here multiple times already this season, so he'd be a snake to leave. I have to imagine that if these issues persist Danny will be shaking things up anyway. If guys like Rozier and Brown are behind our struggles then it's easy to ship them out. Rozier is gone after this season anyway. If Brown + Tatum + picks has a good shot of landing AD in the off-season then I can't see Kyrie going anywhere else. If we weren't stuck with Hayward's whale of a contract I'd love to see a KD/Kyrie pairing in Boston but that seems out of the question without Danny making some major renovations.
Edit: People claimed that Kyrie wanted his own team when he left LeBron. That he wanted to prove himself as a leader, etc. He's always talking about being a leader on this team to the media. If that's the case, what's he saying about his leadership abilities if we're dysfunctional all season and he runs away to join KD in New York the following season? He'll basically be admitting that he's not good enough as a player or a leader to be "the guy" on a championship team. The question that people have been asking about him for years.

Go look at Lonzo and Markelle's seasons and tell me again who the disappointment is. His shot selection can suck, sure, but he's 20. He won't hit his prime for like 5-6 years.

Don't care about other players I care about the Celts players. Tatum is young but doesn't mean his bad habits will change for the good, over time they could get worse and he could become a selfish player with a me 1st attitude. No one can see what his future will be like however what is going on now is bad basketball
