@TA1297 Nah Chisholm is actually absolutely shitting himself out there while Brad is just standing on business and PRMaxxing at the same time. Billy boy is in Brads palm, we can only hope he doesn’t shit himself too much if things go south. Cause he certainly ain’t finding someone better
@TA1297 Obviously this shifts philosophy and is a bet on progression and addition by subtraction. But what do you think is the end goal here to get a roster that is a bonafide top contender if we don’t get hopeful progression jump.
@jakeissenberg JT injury is a factor for sure that’s on the table. PG missing games is a bigger concern. Internal growth just not happening that they’re betting on is a bigger concern.
Tougher East is also the bigger concern.
NY, DET, CLE, TOR, MIA, PHI, IND. That’s already great 7.
@WSpooney I think you can see that as the hopeful view. But I think some people are getting ahead of themselves saying we’ll be a top seed again. We could be bout the same team with more injury risk and a better East. We could be just as good as last season and still miss playoffs.
@TA1297 I think people are exaggerating Celtics downfall, but even if we're going hopium on the analytics, the East is not the same East. Miami got Giannis, Toronto got Kawhi, JB went to the Sixers, Ind will be back Haliburton. DET, CLE, NY still here. Ain't that easy. Need MVP Tatum.
@TA1297 Same, like sure I'm willing to see if AI ball plays out. But how the hell am I gonna root for the downfall of the Sixers if my boy JB is over there.
@jakeissenberg My friend I think your brain has broken into full copium. Jaylen Brown is really fucking good, I'm not gas lighting myself with those analytics.
@TA1297 Yea all that talent let JB just focus in on his defensive match up and pick and choose his spots when there were so many offensive outlets.
Last season was his best performing season, but that role for him in 24 made him into a demon.
@NElGHT_@A_Hardenbrook Yea if a wing slot opens up the best bets are him and Baylor unless Hugo takes a Jaylen Brown typa progression path that front office is maybe hoping he gets to.
