Tatum has to take his game to the next level next year but the guy seems shy about taking shots at times. No distractions this upcoming season.

I really hope horford goes to a championship team and gets a ring. He deserves it.

So glad this is finally over- Kyrie is definitely not coming back now. With some patience, if we actually try to develop our guys we could be really good soon. AD is one of my favourite players, but there is just something special about doing it with homegrown players.

it was never going to be a perfect situation with the likelihood that davis would leave after a year , but tatum is absolutely a guy you sacrifice for a championship, even a 50% chance of winning a championship. the only thing worse that could happen right now is for ainge to name rozier the point guard. if that happens, i’ll likely take the season off.

I bolded Brown's name. Rozier is an asshat we can all agree on that. Brown took on his reduced role with a lot of heart and anyone trying to equate his ego to Kyrie or Rozier deserves to be banned for trolling.


Yea I should be banned because I can see something you cant. This place out of control. No wonder the regulars leaving in droves.


Didn't you want ainge fired when he traded 1 for 3 and drafted Tatum? Yeah clearly your vision is 20/20

50% chance? More like a 5% chance. Let's not get carried away.

Hayward came here because of Brad.

Horford came here because of the money and hoping we are going to land KD.

Please name too free agents that have signed with the Celtics in the last 30 years other than Hayward and Horford?

A few would come with a really good coach and when we are winning. Brad is a very good coach and that will help out chances but Boston is nothing compared to LA for top free agents.




Not comparing us to NY or LA. Just saying that when we've had cap space and a good team/situation for a player, we've been able to sign free agents. Yes it stinks LeBron and Davis and soon Kyrie are choosing a city over a team. Danny is aware of that by now and shame on anyone else for not getting used to it.

Celtics have been trying to do it with homegrown players for 30 years. Its not going to happen anytime soon. By the time they hit on the future picks Tatum is going to ask for a trade to one of the glamour markets same with Brown.

Lakers have 5 players after the trade. One is named Bonga. Another is Wagner. They don't even have a max slot. CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Why because it’s a huge market and hollywood?!! There’s other teams in the nba. The Celtics have a history of winning. Why won’t players want to play for this team? The media really loves to drive the lakers hype machine. I think that helps with free agents. It’s sickening .

Take a break if you're so mad :lol:

Seriously, I just thought it's stupid to lump Brown in with Rozier and Kyrie. Outside of the first month he stepped up his game and mentality.

They’re trying to get kemba walker and other players. The nba just might let them cheat the cap a little.

Lakers did well. A lot of picks but with AD locked up, free agency will continue to be good for them.

With GS decimated they easily have the most star power going in to 2020. Not to my liking but I can't blame Danny for not wanting to play chicken with Rich Paul. Still wish he would have - I think he overrates Tatum but the Irving blow is hard to overcome
