I don’t know , won’t that mean less minutes for Rozier and Tatum?

Pretty much but I think Brad will have the luxury to split the minutes cuz he's now confident Rozay can help shoulder the bulk of the PG duties. Kyrie can get some nights off cuz of that. Depending on how Kyrie's knee is healing, there's a big chance Terry could be the opening day PG next season.

One thing I realized is I didnt watch Louisville basketball at all. Didnt know a damn thing about ROzier or even Mitchell.

Mitchell caught my eye in Summer League and thats when i said he's going to be a star.

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Anyone that says Kyrie should be traded is a moron.

Still think Scary gets moved this offseason in some sort of package for a Horford successor.

I have a gut feeling Jabari Bird has a better upside than Terry

dont rush him. Let that man heel!

yeah, it has to happen. His value is at an all time high right now. Move him for a big. No brainer. It will hurt because he's become a fan favorite but it has to happen.
This team is obviously going to be built around Tatum and Kyrie. Tatum needs to be a Celtic for 15 years. I wonder if you guys will try to unload Hayward? Seems like it would be a good move if they can make it happen.

Hayward fits in perfectly with the system. 6'8", can shoot 3s, score off the dribble, and defend multiple positions. Assuming that he can get back to the player that he was prior to the injury, there is no reason or need to move him.

Kyrie-Brown-Hayward-Tatum-Horford starting with Smart-Morris-Whoever Else off bench next year.

ehhh, it was alot safer back then. Seems like there are more creeps these days or maybe i just notice it more because i actually watch the news now. My mom would let me play outside all day and never check on me. We were much more street smart back then vs. kids now.

It seemed safer.....but it wasn’t. 80s was literally the decade of abductors and serial killers. It skyrocketed in the 80s. There was little infrastructure for missing kids.

Stranger things does a good job of capturing the “play outside carefree all day, but you will get snatched up in the 80s thing”

Amber Alert came in ‘96. 70s & 80s were unsafe as hell .

Yup! No pressure. Dude knows he can chill for now and kill next year with Baeward. He's probably DYING to play right now seeing his "04 Pistons 2.0" playing well in the ECF

The Celtics have a real good problem.

Hypothetically even if Hayward returns to 100% of what he was is that player better than Tatum or Brown.

 

[casper90403]

Brad Stevens not worried about a damn thing. He and the C;s hit the lottery.

Trade Kyrie

it really wasn't safer back then tho. I was a kid in the 80s buts it's way safer now. Cell phones and everyone with a camera in they pocket .things are much safer.
I almost got kidnapped in the 80s. Going by statistics this is the safest things have been. Lot of parents are just paranoid nowadays.

Shoes has had some gems but man that one takes the cake

He really is a treasure

Hypothetically even if Hayward returns to 100% of what he was is that player better than Tatum or Brown.

I mean, he did average 22PPG on 47/40/85 splits, made the all-star team in the West, and got his team to the 2nd round last year. Dude isn't some slouch.

All Kyrie does is get a precautionary surgery and errybody forgets that the man is a top 20 player, a 4th quarter assasin and quite literally the greatest ball handler we’ve ever seen.

Some of y’all wildin.

 

[dland24]

someone just did this season. vc pushed mccaw and we havent seen mccaw ever since

did vc get suspended?

if not the nba is ****ing stupid

players can actually die from something like that

This play is not even close to the Vince Carter Patrick McCaw play. Not even remotely similar.

not to mention maybe the top isolation scorer who can get buckets on damn near anybody. Rozier is a nice player but he ain't Kyrie

 

[EnvyTheGreen]

Rozier goes from playing great as a starter to a super sub who can torch opposing benches.

Tatum will play alongside Hayward (like he did opening night), doubt his minutes decrease all that much if at all.

Bronx looked like a damn warzone.

Call me crazy but I feel like the Rockets get the W tonight.

Crazy

That kind of player is exactly what these Cavs need

Instead they have a bunch of these dimensional dudes. Dropoff is as substantial as it gets.

Wouldn't have ever traded Kyrie in the first place if I were Cleveland.

I hope you are talking about 40yo Jason Terry.

What exactly did Utah get for him? Seems like they should of have been in a great position if he would of have stayed.
