I would really like to believe this...but it's just not true.
- We need a better coach
- We need Fultz to either get it together or get traded
- We need Simmons to become a scoring threat and maybe used the right way (Coach's decision)
- We need depth at the 4
Don't forget OG Anunoby. I saw him live going one on one against AD and he more than held his own.
OG, SIakim, Green, Leonard, and Ibaka. Lowry is also a top defensive PG.

So because he wasn't good at shooting the three he wasn't a ROTATION PLAYER in the NBA... not a starter, not a heavy contributor on a championship team... a bunch of you paper shuffling dimwits said he shouldn't even be in the league anymore. Not To mention this was being stated when he was on the Knicks playing pretty decent
Clearly he's improved his game over the summer, but he hasn't made a leap large enough at damn near 30 to go from being a non NBA caliber player... to top 10 in Per on starters minutes.

I've never been an advanced statistics guy before this season, but since this yr advanced statistics is loving Derrick Rose..

This is pretty much my stance on him. His inability to shoot puts a ton of pressure on everybody else to do their jobs at an almost perfect level. Middleton is fantastic, but I'm not particularly afraid of anyone else on the roster.
Giannis is going to get his. Just have to defend everybody else tough.

A better coach fixes Fultz and Simmons. Putting Simmons at the 4 to be a point forward instead of a point guard. Letting Markelle run the offense and be a point guard. Not hard lol
Our coach/GM basically built the roster
So Brett Brown is the problem lol

You're trading Tatum before Kyrie tho..? Trading Kyrie is the best option I can think of

You don’t even know what you’re yelling about. I said he was a below average player when at the time he was.

As long as Giannis keeps improving that 15-18 jumper he straight. He don't need to be a knock down 3pt shooter as great as he is at getting to the rim and drawing fouls. He been kinda slacking at the FT this year, that's the main thing he need to improve on.

This. Imagine a "washed up" MVP coming back and winning the damn thing again at age 32. IDGAF I can dream

Not necessarily a knockdown 3 pt shooter but if he even becomes a 30 percent shooter from 3 that's enough.
The reality of the game today is that you need as many threats from 3 as possible to stretch the floor
Giannis may not be a 3 pt shooter but as a team overall the bucks got better from 3 pt land

Lakers prob trade Ingram, Lonzo or Kuz before Celtics even think about moving Kyrie...

How did the Lakers come up?
If the Celtics lose to the pelicans tonite and go under 500, would that be cause for concern? What's the best way to improve that team outside of trading Kyrie who could walk for nothing next year?

this- kyrie is who he is. he's a solid 2nd option at best with history of injuries. tatum has tons of potential and is under rookie scale contract.

lakers have no incentives to trade these players unless AD miraculously becomes available.

I thought this was the Big Lakers thread?
There’s already plenty to be concerned about... don’t have to lose to the Pelicans tonight to know that. This team has a variety of issues. Trading Kyrie not the answer tho
Aside from the terrible shooting, these guys just aren’t playing hard. Effort is definitely a problem...and they need to play with some heart and motivation. Not surprised our best games this season was against the Bucks, Sixers and Raptors

I doubt the Celtics would trade him. Dude went on record saying he plans to re-sign, has a new Nike commercial with his dad talking about having #11 in the Boston Garden rafters. I'm convinced he's re-signing. Nothing would surprise me though.
The only piece I can realistically see moving is Scary Terry.

If he can be around 34-35% that would be gravy.

Okay so the Celtics only issue is they are missing open shots... Wow imagine if any other coach in the league had to deal with those issues
the team is a bottom 12 offense, bottom 10 in pace.... but it's Just them missing open shots. Now all of a sudden It's Not brad's job to put the ball in the basket for them, but when the players are succeeding or he's getting the most out of a player who underachieved elsewhere... suddenly it's all the wizardry of Brad Stevens & his playcalling. When things aren't clicking it's only the fault of the players.
Brad Stevens is the best coach in the league to me but this is true.
If I give him credit for taking that team to the ECF w/o their 2 allstars last year he gotta take some heat for having all this talent and underachieving right now.
I'm mad you typed a logical response to that nonsense.
I still wouldn't be surprised if Kyrie went to the Knicks.
