exactly. everyone i know see it as a step in the right direction, but we need more. i think if we can trade Crowder, a few picks and maybe Horford for Anthony Davis (even though i know there's almost 0 chance it'll happen) we'd definitely have the ability to beat the Cavs.
It's so crazy how Golden state literally influences every deal that happens in free agency. Now even when team's can acquire a star they analyze whether they could beat golden state with that star instead of just making the team better for the moment .
Yup, plus their rookie Jayson Tatum is a boss right now too. He can ball so they may potentially have a diamond in the rough. They'll all mesh by playoff time so they might surprise us y'all
How to get likes on a basketball video: Say KD is a snake Mention the Hippo Say the off season is better than the finals Say Chris Broussard is awesome Do the number is you game
he need to join the Spurs! let us see the Gasols, Aldridge, Leonard, Mills, Green, Parker, Dedmon, Lee and Ginobilli on the same team plus you can add DRose as a back up PG and then bye Warriors!
Abdul Muhammad Humza I need to be realistic not disrespectful D Rose can't be a starting point guard anymore especially with San Antonio but he can have an interesting role in being a back up PG in this team who can compete with Livingston,Marcus Smart or Derron Williams
Im so sickof shannone sharpe he doesnt know anything about basketball. Saying how Bostons new talent are gonna see how Isaiah is ball dominate. Like does he realize that Brad stevens offense allows everyone to touch the ball. The reason Isaiah scored so much is bc the system found him open and his ability to create. He wasnt like westbrook having the ball in his had for 70% of the shot clock. Sharpe gets his info from his stat guys before the show actually watch the game then you can talk about it.
I don't know where he gets his information from because any "stats guy" would have told him that the Celtic's were ranked 2nd in Team Assists Per Game, Passes Made, Secondary Assists and top 5 in other assist categories. So even without watching the games, you know that the ball moves around, and that the assists are not coming from 1 source like with Harden on the Rockets.
u couldnt be more wrong. none of isiahs points came off catch and shoot (the system) he created for his damn self, save a pick and roll here and there.
If Celtics get Marc Gasol they wont be getting past CLE? WHAT? Tell me who is gonna stop Gasol downlow in the Cavs? They have litterally nobody that can stop him. They will have to double team and that opens up Thomas and Hayward to do their thing. JAVALE MAGEE made them look foolish last year and Celtics with Gasol wont be able to beat them? What are these guys on about? We are talking about arguably the BEST Center in the NBA right now against a team without a SINGLE solid big man
Wonderlandian did you just say Marc Gasol is the best center in the NBA??? Lmao that's when I know. Dude it's not even arguable. Cousins and Gobert are better. McGee didn't make anyone look foolish. His highlights were just a bunch of alley oops lmao. Once again who's gonna stop Lebron. Thompson and Kyrie are still young and growing and reaching their prime. Kevin love is still a 3 point shooter. And their bench is still better (in the playoffs) then the Celtics' bench was. Now you guys need to trade some of your depth just to get Hayward. And would have to trade even more to get Marc Gasol. This doesn't solve Lebron and Kyrie exposing thomas and Hayward. Love is still the better PF in fact they don't even have a PF right now. Lmao Celtics fans need to stop overhyping their team
Cousins and Gobert better than GASOL? Are you serious? Gasol has a better post up game than both AND shoots it better than both from 3. The ONLY area where Cousins and Gobert are better is athleticism and Duncan himself has proven that that doesn't matter when you are going up against a skilled big that will school you no matter how athletic you are.
gasol has never been double teamed like he was hakeem. dont get it twisted. teams dont gameplan for him lmao. he is a good 3rd option and yes they will be better than they were last year...but. ill take lbj, kyrie, and love vs IT, Hayward, and gasol every single time.
I get that all of these guys make their living being ridiculous, but where are they getting their information from? Boston needs to get rid of one of Smart, Bradley, and Crowder, not all of them. Crowder is the best candidate to trade because Brown and Tatum are good enough depth behind Hayward. The Gasol thing is a rumor and even if it has real traction it isn't happening. Boston would have to actually gut its team to make salaries match with Gasol, which isn't happening. Also, Isaiah knows how to pass and Gordon will clearly accept his role with Boston. Just because Isaiah averaged 30 doesn't mean he can't share the ball.
TheOneAndOnlyNAB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU! I really hope skip and shannon could somehow just see this comment. How do we have to gut our team? The reason why we went after hayward in the first place was because we had enough to offer a max... and then the salary cap is about $8mil less than the original $110mil prediction... so we just have to shed $8-$10mil off our cap. And im sorry, who tf cares if we have to get rid of jordan mickey and jonas jerebko? We will miss olynyk and either crowder/bradley, but in the end its worth it.
What’s up with this idea that Isaiah can’t pass? When you don’t have a second go to scorer you tend to have high usage rates. Look at Harden he’s ball dominate and was introduced into a system that surrounded him with shooters and help and his assist numbers skyrocketed. You think Isaiah has to force the issue when he has another shot creator in Hayward that’s foolish. That’s what the coach is the for. Brad Stevens is going to work on fitting Hayward in seamlessly this guy are just being fools.
Skip, can we please stop viewing the fact that bostons best player is 5'9" as criticism and just appreciate it. Its incredible what this man does given his height.
I mean, basically from what im understanding from skip is that isaiah thomas can never go anywhere to compete, because of his defensive limitations due to his size. Basically, thomas would just be better off going to a lottery team for the rest of his career so he wouldnt be under as much pressure. And then his greatness would then be criticized again, because of his résumé of being on garbage teams.
I don't get it either. Why are they all hating on IT every team has a player that isn't that good defensively and IT was almost MVP he was in the top3-4 people for season MVP. They need to stop using his height against him like he's no good. Some of the greatest in the game where small players
Shannon is no better, wonder if They watch any C's games, IT ball dominant player.. Celtics are in top3? of most assist per game as team, Al Horford more assist per game than any other big, If IT is ball dominant-How They doing it?
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot jimmy is regarded as a top flight defensive player. think thats what gives him the edge in ppls minds. im a bulls fan and a lil biased tho I cant diss Hayward...I liked him since he became prominent in college
if they have to get rid of bradley that is fine you need to move jalen to a 2 guard and make him a beast. Celtics have so many options that i would love to see. Now everything danny ainge is doing is making sense
Alberto defence sucks and and dribble to much but he is nice just do not think work out for bosten beat cleveland if they get gasol and get real point guard then they can be clevland and i am cleveland fan
2:10 No Celtics fan has ever said that. Plus Gasol and McHale have different games. Why does the media hate the Celtics? They never get credit for ANYTHING
Looking at this 3 seasons later. Gasol would be a great fit for Boston. They’re in need of a big rn and that’s what’s stopping them from being real contenders
You can trade Smart, crowder, and Bradley for Marc Gasol. That would also clear enough space to sign Hayward. U can also throw in picks for the Grizzlies.
Thomas Brown Hayward Horford Gasol Bench: Rozier Jabari Bird/Kadeem Allen Tatum Mickey Zizic Reserves: Semi Ojeyele Demetrius Jackson Jabari Bird/Kadeem Allen Draft and Stash players: Yabusele Nader I don't think people understand how deep this team is. Even without Smart, Crowder, and Bradley they maintain one of the best benches in the league.
Anuj Agarwal Grizz fan here if we were to let Gasol go & I don't think that we will but we would want Jaylen Brown, Crowder & Bradley is not enough for Gasol!
They need to make this happen to make up for trading Bradley to the Pistons for Morris. The trade really makes no sense. Bradley is literally the reason they did not get swept vs the Cavs and he was great defensively. I hope that move was to clear enough space or something...possibly leading to getting Marc Gasol
David Rivera Eh, why not? The one game the Celtics won over the Cavs (in ECF) was the one IT wasn't playing. I think he's good, but Marc Gasol can possibly get you to the finals whereas IT is a liability against a better team
This got me thinking Boston should of kept the No. 1 pick and got a PG Fultz or Ball (not really an option cause he doesn't want to go there) instead. Thomas is great..but it would benefit the team more if he came off the bench for instant offense , playing against bench talent like Ginobilli and Microwave Johnson did.
I don't know what they're talking about. Hayward actually averages one of the lowest usage rates, and always has. He will get more touches with the Celtics.
this whole discussion makes me feel uneasy...i'm hoping the front office is not thinking about resetting..we are still a playoff team..injuries have just plagued our team every year in some form..
I think that the only likely trade would be Horford and Bradley (or Smart) for Marc Gasol and a draft pick of some kind. 1. Memphis would get slightly younger from swapping Gasol for Horford. 2. Memphis would instantly get a replacement for Tony Allen in Avery Bradley who is just entering his prime. (Not neccesarily easy for Memphis to acquire him in free agency if they don't already had him) 3. Celtics would get an immediate upgrade at center with Gasol who is basically better than Horford in every way. Also he has the size to cause some kind of problem for Cleveland and/or Golden State. 4. Celtics would get the cap space to sign Hayward for free right now. (without having to give Utah Crowder for basically no reason) 5. Celtics would save themselves having to pay Bradley next summer. Then the Celtics could trade Jackson and Mickey, sign Hayward and roster could be: pg- Isaiah Thomas, Terry Rozier sg- Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown sf- Gordon Hayward, Jason Tatum pf- Jae Crowder c- Marc Gasol, (Kelly Olynyk) Or I might be completely wrong as usual.
wouldn't adding better passers ultimatly free I. Thomas more to do what it matters? I mean, instead of having to be the only guy to run the offense he could relay a bit of it to his teammates giving him the chance to get free from whoever is defending him, that would lead to easier points and assists
They keep saying all IT does is hold the ball for the whole shot clock and doesn't pass it. Clearly they don't watch Celtics games because ball movement is a huge part of the offense, not just to give the ball to Isaiah and let him work. He's an out when they need it, not some selfish, ball hogging, ball dominant point guard
Why are people saying if he goes to the Celtics they'll make it to the finals? Did they forget about the Cavs? Celtics bench is already sorry, and they would have to trade away some guys to get Gasol, making it even worse. Then, are y'all really saying Hayward is stopping Lebron? Is anyone on the team stopping Kyrie? Celtics fans spew the same bs every year then get embarrassed in the playoffs like clockwork
Couldn't agree more, now that they have Haywood now they would have to get rid of 2 or 3 guys to make room for this guy, including your pick between smart, Bradley, and crowder. Sure they have brown and Tatum playing behind Haywood. But clearly these guys are waiting for lebron to go on full decline mode so they can come and "take over"... this idea is assuming that no one else will get better in the east. Foolish line of thinking for them, because I don't think the entire east will let that happen either realistically.
And how is Hayward not as good as Paul George, they both can shoot, they both can drive, they both can play defense and take over games offensively and both are clutch, Hayward equally has the whole package as much as PG13 does!!
Why not do all you can to better your team and not worry about how you stack up against the Warriors and the Cavaliers? Allow the Celtics to compete at the highest level, it will be great for Celtics fans and the NBA in general.
Would Hayward and Gasol work well together?
yea but they wont beat the cavs
Gaius Prods who in the cavs can guard Marc gasol???? tristian Thompson lol
Manu GOATbili thats a small price to play tho...thonk all around whos gpnna gaurd bron.Gordon hayword...
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED yes
The thing is you don't trust that Isiah he can adjust just to win. Clearly you all just see LeBron and GSW is unbeatable.
I Was born and live in Boston for 22 years.... no one in Boston thinks Gordon Hayward is the savior .... where are they getting this idea from
exactly. everyone i know see it as a step in the right direction, but we need more. i think if we can trade Crowder, a few picks and maybe Horford for Anthony Davis (even though i know there's almost 0 chance it'll happen) we'd definitely have the ability to beat the Cavs.
The Goat idk man😂😂😂. People don't understand Celtics are no where near done trying to get players
same, i love hayward and i'm beyond stoked he chose us but he is only a piece in the process, a very important piece but not the next larry bird lol
So you dont want hayward on your team?
The Goat thank you I'm from brockton and Celtics fan we all know he's not the savior...but remember its skip
and Shannon lmao
It's so crazy how Golden state literally influences every deal that happens in free agency.
Now even when team's can acquire a star they analyze whether they could beat golden state with that star instead of just making the team better for the moment .
Chris is the best reporter . He is unbiased, entertaining and backs his arguments with facts
Arber Numani never seen this comment before...
Arber Numani I'm a simple man see Broussard in the thumbnail I click ...
If they got Marc, I can't say it'll be as easy for the Cavs like they act. Marc would be the biggest X factor. Dude can ball out
Finally someone with some sense.
Jason : in 7 put sum damn respek on his name
Jay Kelz
And Defensively they would be better. Gasol is probably the best defensive anchor in the game. him or DeAndre
But Gasol is better offensively
Yup, plus their rookie Jayson Tatum is a boss right now too. He can ball so they may potentially have a diamond in the rough. They'll all mesh by playoff time so they might surprise us y'all
yeah but which Cav is he gonna gaurd head up??? (don't pick a #Whiteboy)
Chris Broussard is clickbait
Oscar Lopez he's one of the best reporters
he's such an idiot
Can understand why ESPN let him go
Nah he's not.
Adam Leon He is the only one that comes with facts to back up his arguments
Oscar Lopez this comment is so overused now
These channels make it too easy. More Broussard, more likes.
Broussard=GOAT
How to get likes on a basketball video:
Say KD is a snake
Mention the Hippo
Say the off season is better than the finals
Say Chris Broussard is awesome
Do the number is you game
Jacob Krause lol right I hate the hippo comment
Jacob Krause lol
wtf is the hippo
Kevin Espinoza G Go on any recent Chris Smoove video and you'll find out
either you stole this comment or you're putting it on absolutely every fs1 video
IT does not have to be ball dominant, his team just decided to give him that opportunity last year because he was playing clutch.
he need to join the Spurs!
let us see the Gasols, Aldridge, Leonard, Mills, Green, Parker, Dedmon, Lee and Ginobilli on the same team
plus you can add DRose as a back up PG
and then bye Warriors!
A spurs fan only dream
arthur portal Aldridge is gon be gone. patty over paid,DD is leaving
Don't Disrespect the MVP D.Rose he is gonna start
Abdul Muhammad Humza I need to be realistic not disrespectful
D Rose can't be a starting point guard anymore especially with San Antonio but he can have an interesting role in being a back up PG in this team who can compete with Livingston,Marcus Smart or Derron Williams
arthur portal keep dreaming bandwagon. No one is beating Warriors in 4-5 years unless they get hurt
Im so sickof shannone sharpe he doesnt know anything about basketball. Saying how Bostons new talent are gonna see how Isaiah is ball dominate.

Why they hate Boston so much
Amro Abuelmaali idekkk😂😂
Amro Abuelmaali because boston wins all the time
If Celtics get Marc Gasol they wont be getting past CLE? WHAT? Tell me who is gonna stop Gasol downlow in the Cavs? They have litterally nobody that can stop him. They will have to double team and that opens up Thomas and Hayward to do their thing.

You obviously have not seen the damage he does with the Grizls
Wonderlandian these people with the Gobert love the guy is very good but my goodness is he overrated
Love you Joy 😍😍😍
Joy🔥🔥😩
Sam Leiding. mmmh hmmm.....
Skeupppppppppppp they can't beat the king of Akron no matter who they get. Skeupppppppppppppppppppoppppppppppppppppppp

you spelt kang wrong
Annoying but those reactions are still funny lmao
Savage Gaming 😂😂
It is ridiculous how underrated Avery Bradley is.
I get that all of these guys make their living being ridiculous, but where are they getting their information from?

next year thomas is gonna want the max deal and bradley is also going to want a big deal lmao yall aint gonna have the cap room
Yeah when Bradley and Thomas want max money getting rid of just Crowder isn't gonna cut it lol they weren't just talking about this year.
Am i the only person who actually sees the Celtics going to the Finals? I can't be
Yea lmao you and celts fans
James Harden Got Robbed If they do get Gasol and manage to keep Horford, then I can see it happening.
"Broussard has the answer" LOL wtf
Simple math: Chris Broussard + (any show about NBA) = Like 👍
Chris Broussard INSTANT CLICK.
Joy lookin like a snack
Fredo them sugar walls mmmm
I wish Chris Broussard was always on the show, he's level headed unlike skip and Shannon
What’s up with this idea that Isaiah can’t pass? When you don’t have a second go to scorer you tend to have high usage rates. Look at Harden he’s ball dominate and was introduced into a system that surrounded him with shooters and help and his assist numbers skyrocketed. You think Isaiah has to force the issue when he has another shot creator in Hayward that’s foolish. That’s what the coach is the for. Brad Stevens is going to work on fitting Hayward in seamlessly this guy are just being fools.
LeShannon so insecure.
Skip, can we please stop viewing the fact that bostons best player is 5'9" as criticism and just appreciate it. Its incredible what this man does given his height.
Mikel Best defense guy
Mikel Best i agree there are people taller who arent averaging half the points
Agreed. Normally I would agree with them, but his offensive abilities seriously out weigh any problems that arise from his height.
I mean, basically from what im understanding from skip is that isaiah thomas can never go anywhere to compete, because of his defensive limitations due to his size. Basically, thomas would just be better off going to a lottery team for the rest of his career so he wouldnt be under as much pressure. And then his greatness would then be criticized again, because of his résumé of being on garbage teams.

mad props breh big ups dawg
Did they literally forget the Celtics have 3 lottery picks in Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum?
Stoooooiiip ittt skieeeeeep
The Goat you win
Shannon is no better, wonder if They watch any C's games, IT ball dominant player.. Celtics are in top3? of most assist per game as team, Al Horford more assist per game than any other big, If IT is ball dominant-How They doing it?
Draft picks are like eggs, Shannon has the WORLDS GREATEST ANALOGIES!!!!
They put Chris face on the thumbnail every time cause he's click bait 😂
Jimmy Butler and Gordon Hayward have almost exactly the same stats, how is Jimmy that much better than him?
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot jimmy is regarded as a top flight defensive player. think thats what gives him the edge in ppls minds. im a bulls fan and a lil biased tho I cant diss Hayward...I liked him since he became prominent in college
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot id say it's Jimmy clutch gene, leadership, and defense.
Jeffrey Hicks or...on a hitch plays better defense.
The fact the Celtics have to consider doing all this to get better is hilarious
CELTICS (with Marc) > CAVS (with No Depth & Inconsistence Starters)
5" 9 still isn't good enough even though he averaged nearly 30 ppg.
Jonah Chavanne he doesn't guard kyrie idiot
Ericka White in the regular season?? Which is irrelevant to the post season in those terms
Ericka White 5'9... (") is for inches comes last
+SkankHunt 43 dam u fine
+SkankHunt 43 can we be Facebook friends
The D riding for Cavs is crazy
if they have to get rid of bradley that is fine you need to move jalen to a 2 guard and make him a beast. Celtics have so many options that i would love to see. Now everything danny ainge is doing is making sense
so disrespectful to isaiah
Espn is what all our childhood shows/channels used to be. What a shame. Love Broussard.
respect Isaiah, look at his numbers this year
Alberto defence sucks and and dribble to much but he is nice just do not think work out for bosten beat cleveland if they get gasol and get real point guard then they can be clevland and i am cleveland fan
He is the only reason they got to the Conference Finals. With one great big man as Gasol they could be a real threat to Cleveland.
2:10 No Celtics fan has ever said that. Plus Gasol and McHale have different games. Why does the media hate the Celtics? They never get credit for ANYTHING
Fs1 knows Chris Broussard is the ultimate click bait. Works on me every time.
Broussard = Like
Looking at this 3 seasons later. Gasol would be a great fit for Boston. They’re in need of a big rn and that’s what’s stopping them from being real contenders
Chris Broussard The GOAT
Everybody Looovees Chris
A playoff series win in Memphis is equal to a deep playoff run in Los Angeles.
Skip is the most knowledgeble pundit here. That's pretty shocking really..
Everyone forgot that during the playoffs people talked about isiah Thomas like he was the best player in the league
I look forward to hearing Skiiiuuup
Boston's youngs are looking good
If Gasol goes to the Celtics, they go to the finals.
John O'Malley Nah. Gasol isn't enough.
nah they still dont beat the cavs. gasol still cant do anything to protect that rim vs lebron
Incorrect. And I'm a Celtics fan.
They're still not beating Cavs with Gasol and Hayward. Keep deaming.
Sean Turner they easily are . not even close whole series flip
If the starting lineup reads Isiah, Bradley, Hayward, Gasol, and Hortford....i don't know mayn, i think that spells trouble.
boil shrimp, baked shrimp, grilled shrimp, popcorn shrimp. ......lol
You can trade Smart, crowder, and Bradley for Marc Gasol. That would also clear enough space to sign Hayward. U can also throw in picks for the Grizzlies.
Anuj Agarwal Then you have 7 players with 3 competing for the same 3 spots (Tatum, Brown, Hayward)
Thomas
Brown
Hayward
Horford
Gasol
Bench:
Rozier
Jabari Bird/Kadeem Allen
Tatum
Mickey
Zizic
Reserves:
Semi Ojeyele
Demetrius Jackson
Jabari Bird/Kadeem Allen
Draft and Stash players:
Yabusele
Nader
I don't think people understand how deep this team is. Even without Smart, Crowder, and Bradley they maintain one of the best benches in the league.
Anuj Agarwal Grizz fan here if we were to let Gasol go & I don't think that we will but we would want Jaylen Brown, Crowder & Bradley is not enough for Gasol!
We'll give u picks as well. Plus, Gasol is 32 and the West is stacked. Time to rebuild Memphis.
Billy Williams true they need to dump the Brooklyn picks at least one and brown for gasol
I'm a Celtics fan but I would love to see how he fits in with the Spurs. Still, if possible I wouldn't mind having Marc in Boston lol
Speculations...celtics will have to trade someone for hayward alone, then for gasol..their depth will take a huge hit
Shut up, you sound shook.
Artur Vasiljev They already signed Hayward. He was a free agent. fools speaking just to speak.
Daniel Moreno He's not signed yet. He can't be until we get rid of about $3 million more in cap before we can.
ohmanyourecool they just traded Avery Bradley to the pistons 😕
Vic Robbins thats not a good trade for boston
They need to make this happen to make up for trading Bradley to the Pistons for Morris. The trade really makes no sense. Bradley is literally the reason they did not get swept vs the Cavs and he was great defensively. I hope that move was to clear enough space or something...possibly leading to getting Marc Gasol
Trade Isaiah Thomas and some change for Gasol
I mean, unless you can't:/
True, Isaiah is overrated af
Jonathan Hart that makes 0 ZERO 0 sense
Secretary of Cyber: FatfuckingLenny how is he overrated you sound ignorant asf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 if anyone is overrated it's Westbrook & Durant
David Rivera Eh, why not? The one game the Celtics won over the Cavs (in ECF) was the one IT wasn't playing. I think he's good, but Marc Gasol can possibly get you to the finals whereas IT is a liability against a better team
Shannon is wearing New York colours on his suit
Joy😍😍😍
Why is Sterling comparing Gasol and Hayward to Bird and Mchale?
This got me thinking Boston should of kept the No. 1 pick and got a PG Fultz or Ball (not really an option cause he doesn't want to go there) instead. Thomas is great..but it would benefit the team more if he came off the bench for instant offense , playing against bench talent like Ginobilli and Microwave Johnson did.
Boston , Gets Gasol, and also gets Carmelo
"I still pick Cleveland"
C'mon guys, really?
Wow...Broussard just had a GSW Slurp Fest. my goodness.
He admits that it's complete "scuttlebutt" yet they discuss it for 10 minutes? Yup, it's the slow dog days of summer alright!
"My spurs" lmao
I don't know what they're talking about. Hayward actually averages one of the lowest usage rates, and always has. He will get more touches with the Celtics.
That Shannon comment about "bringing back the Bird-McHale" was low-key racism, wasn't it? lol
Shanon saying "That 5'9 gut" again n again is fuking disrespectful. I hope IT plays out of his mind and shuts doubters again.
they'd beat the brakes off the Cavs with Gasol and keeping Horford.
celtics fan here. love the Hayward pickup..... but.... i know what it is.
Crowder and Bradley and some picks for Gasol. Maybe Smart aswell.
If they add Gasol and Hayward they still would have 7 players and it would put them at about a 101 million payroll. 7th in the league.
You sound and look worried Celtics pride...Cmon Man
They'd have to throw in Horford!! Anyone else think losing Horford would hurt, or would you rather have Gasol?
Multiple sauces can confirm
Marc Gasol should play for Los Angeles, also James sign with the Lakers
this whole discussion makes me feel uneasy...i'm hoping the front office is not thinking about resetting..we are still a playoff team..injuries have just plagued our team every year in some form..
Arrahdre not anymore y'all window closing, y'all getting older and just lost Randolph
I think that the only likely trade would be Horford and Bradley (or Smart) for Marc Gasol and a draft pick of some kind.
1. Memphis would get slightly younger from swapping Gasol for Horford.
2. Memphis would instantly get a replacement for Tony Allen in Avery Bradley who is just entering his prime. (Not neccesarily easy for Memphis to acquire him in free agency if they don't already had him)
3. Celtics would get an immediate upgrade at center with Gasol who is basically better than Horford in every way. Also he has the size to cause some kind of problem for Cleveland and/or Golden State.
4. Celtics would get the cap space to sign Hayward for free right now. (without having to give Utah Crowder for basically no reason)
5. Celtics would save themselves having to pay Bradley next summer.
Then the Celtics could trade Jackson and Mickey, sign Hayward and roster could be:
pg- Isaiah Thomas, Terry Rozier
sg- Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown
sf- Gordon Hayward, Jason Tatum
pf- Jae Crowder
c- Marc Gasol, (Kelly Olynyk)
Or I might be completely wrong as usual.
Apparently there is no point for teams to trade players since they're not going to beat Golden State.
wouldn't adding better passers ultimatly free I. Thomas more to do what it matters? I mean, instead of having to be the only guy to run the offense he could relay a bit of it to his teammates giving him the chance to get free from whoever is defending him, that would lead to easier points and assists
Gasol for Thomas STRAIGHT UP
They keep saying all IT does is hold the ball for the whole shot clock and doesn't pass it. Clearly they don't watch Celtics games because ball movement is a huge part of the offense, not just to give the ball to Isaiah and let him work. He's an out when they need it, not some selfish, ball hogging, ball dominant point guard
I love the idea. Make it Happen. Somebody gonna have to come off the bench tho. 🤔
yes they would play well together
IT, Horford, and a pick for Gasol
"I mean" - Chris Broussard"
Why are people saying if he goes to the Celtics they'll make it to the finals? Did they forget about the Cavs? Celtics bench is already sorry, and they would have to trade away some guys to get Gasol, making it even worse. Then, are y'all really saying Hayward is stopping Lebron? Is anyone on the team stopping Kyrie? Celtics fans spew the same bs every year then get embarrassed in the playoffs like clockwork
Couldn't agree more, now that they have Haywood now they would have to get rid of 2 or 3 guys to make room for this guy, including your pick between smart, Bradley, and crowder. Sure they have brown and Tatum playing behind Haywood. But clearly these guys are waiting for lebron to go on full decline mode so they can come and "take over"... this idea is assuming that no one else will get better in the east. Foolish line of thinking for them, because I don't think the entire east will let that happen either realistically.
Xwing Class Yep, especially not with the Bucks and 76ers lurking just around the corner
I'm so sick of these ppl who keep degrading my Boston Celtics!!! Like give them their credit "Undisputed".
And they need to stop ✋ comparing Gordan H. to Larry Bird.... we know there is never going to b another LB so stop making tht comparison JC!!!!
Chris is the goat
They traded Fultz to keep Thomas and get wing help.
And how is Hayward not as good as Paul George, they both can shoot, they both can drive, they both can play defense and take over games offensively and both are clutch, Hayward equally has the whole package as much as PG13 does!!
Why not do all you can to better your team and not worry about how you stack up against the Warriors and the Cavaliers? Allow the Celtics to compete at the highest level, it will be great for Celtics fans and the NBA in general.
Why would Boston use their assets for Marc Gasol instead of Anthony Davis or DeMarcus Cousins?
signing al horford was the dumbest thing the celtics ever did
I'm not trusting a man who said Booker dropped 70 on Avery Bradley.
the disrespect of shannon sharpe has... not because Isaiah Thomas is 5'9 he is that bad
that's messed up Shannon how dare you talk about my Nets
