How The Celtics Got Away With ROBBERY

- In this video, I go over how the Celtics got their starting lineup, and how the NBA let this roster form. The Celtics won the 2024 NBA Championship in one of the most dominant fashions. They arguably had one of the best seasons in NBA history.

Danny Ainge deserves a ring for trading the first pick in the 2017 draft and taking Tatum instead of the consensus top pick at the time Markelle Fultz. ( I was pretty pissed at the time tbh 🤣)
Yep. This title is as much Danny's as it is Brad's.
If you really wanna get down to brass tacks, Danny even hired Brad.
Oh god. I forgot about Fultz. Makes me think back to all those high picks, like Oden. A lot of really smart trades to build a deep and talented team.
@@redriderbbgun8018 and don't forget Mazulla taking over as head coach with basically no time to really develop his NBA head coaching skills.
@@Mitsoxfan you don't really have to coach a team this deep. The Bucks was so stupid. A Dame-Holiday trade would have been a downgrade for them, but they gave up so much more for a guy with insane salary and literally zero defensive skills.
I can only imagine what would happen if they took Fultz.
Kristaps signed a 3 year extension and so did Jrue. White is going to sign an extension worth up to 128m for 4 years this summer and Tatum as you mentioned will get the supermax. This roster will stay together for the next 4-5 years and could end up winning at least 2 more chips.
This makes no sense, the new cba was designed to prevent teams from having more than 2 guys on large deals yet they have 4???, how???, with depth too??? regardless of whether they stay together or not, they ain't winning no chip in the near future, denver is coming to destroy
As much I love Al and he still has more to contribute, I would retire and walk off into the sunset
@@lvl5charizard Celtics owner said today that Al is coming back
Al still has another year under contract
It seems like yesterday that the Celtics drafted Brown and Tatum. I have to admit that I was upset when they traded Marcus Smart. I thought "What are they getting Porzingus for? This is going to come back to haunt them."
Since I'm confessing to having 20/20 hindsight, I was also mad that the a Celtics didn't get the #1 overall pick, which was Greg Oden, who was drafted by Portland and had to retire after only a few seasons.
BRAD STEVENS HAS BEEN BUILDING THIS FOR YEARS!!! This was GREAT BASKETBALL AND GREAT COACHING AND ALSO A GREAT FRONT OFFICE!!! They are the SPURS of the EAST
The real MVP 🙌
The celtics bench averaged 29.3ppg, how did anyone think they wouldnt win this series
Fun fact: Luka Doncic averaged 29.2 ppg in the Finals.
Ppl are just stupid
Exactly 🤦🏿♂️
It’s because Doncic and Irving play a flashy style that attracts eyeballs. The Celtics on the other hand have an ensemble, where everyone contributes and nobody consistently dominates every game. Unfortunately, that isn’t as sexy to the media, which is why they kept propping up the Mavericks but knocking down the Celtics.
Al horford is just happy to get a ring. I don't see him asking for alot
Al Horford is not getting a big contract.
He's old and he might retire, so the Celtics really don't have to worry about what he's gonna do.
Personally, I'd like to see him retire on top, and the Celtics go put and draft a big.
As for White and Tatum: they're both getting contracts. Celts are definitely giving Tatum a Super-Max, and White will get around 30 mil.
I think the starting 5 will stay together, they will take a pay cut if needed IMO
NO TF THEY WON'T
It’s hard to see that happen, but there’s definitely a chance.
@@Mdksupreme1KP literally took a smaller deal from Boston (other teams offered him more) because he wants to be on a championship team, he mentioned it preseason. So I don’t at all doubt that some would take a pay cut to stay in Boston and potentially keep winning
It's about achieving dreams, and when you see option become a champion of NBA few millions up or down dnt play role😂 you can't buy few NBA champion titles ...it's about you are in right team or not. And KP is on top team ..It's part of latvian spirit 😊people arround you offen matter more than money😂💪☘️👊🇱🇻👍
@Mdksupreme1
DWhite just extended for a bargain deal. KP was already extended for a bargain. Jrue was extended for market value. Tatum just signed supermax.
Tillman, Hauser and Kornet are coming back. Pritchard already extended. 2 potential steals were drafted at SG and PF. Springer, Walsh and Queta been developing behind the scenes.
Bro, good video but you don’t know the Celtics lol. Tatum was a nets pick traded to the sixers for the third. And horford ain’t looking for more money dude hahah. Porzingos signed an extension too already lol
There was little to this roster which required that the NBA "let" it happen. They have four players who are all the fourth or fifth players on a starting line-up. The league does not blink when fourth or fifth players get traded. The Celtics win because one of those four decides to be the second or third player on the team for that game. The key to the Celtics, and the Nuggets, is that both drafted their best two players, allowing trade resources to be used for players in the fourth or fifth slots.
I mean they’re a winning organization, all credit is deserved, but it was just the titling.
More accurately, the Celtics have 2 players who could be clear number 1s on most NBA rosters and then 3 guys who are number 2/3s on most rosters, and then a future HOFer on the bench alongside some sharpshooters who can play good hustle D
@@basejohns5418 I think we are overstating the 2/3 level for KP, White, and Holiday. The key for the Celtics team is that they all fit together perfectly.
@@UnconventionalReasoning the synergy is definitely important, but I think White is the only one of those not considered a 2/3 type when he was traded to the Celtics
@@basejohns5418 Holiday and KP were basically dumped by the Bucks and Mavericks because they were not filling the need as a 2/3 guy. Sure, KP could then be a stud with the Wizards, but he then goes to the Celtics and plays in 7 of 19 playoff games, averaging 30 min in the first three and about 18 min in the other four. The Celtics were successful with him as their 5/6 guy.
Few things:
1. Tatum really came from the same Nets trade, since the #1 pick that Boston traded with Philly was one of the Nets picks.
2. Derrick White wasn't really 'underrated' during his San Antonio tenure. He was a backup/fringe-starter and that was about right for where he was. White has since grown and improved significantly. He's also in a better spot as Boston usually deploys him in a more natural SG spot as opposed to San Antonio which sometimes deployed him as a PG.
3. Agree that Stevens played a massive role, but Ainge also deserves a lot of credit. Outside of fleecing the Nets, Ainge played a huge role in ensuring that the baton was passed to Stevens. A lot of teams would have crashed and burned if they lost a GM and two HC's as fast as Boston did. Boston got better because Ainge ensured that the new GM was someone that shared his vision and understanding of the team, meaning there was no change in course. Stevens kept the same concept that Ainge was trying for, but improved it by bringing in more spacing bigs and a true PG to tie the Jays together.
Actually, I'm pretty sure Stevens saw the need for a true PG from his time coaching the Jays. I've said for years that the Jays can play together, but they need that true PG, a floor general, to tie them together. Jrue was really that missing piece, combined with Tatum taking a step forward as a facilitator. This is something that I'm sure the ball-movement-oriented Brad Stevens had seen while coaching and is a big reason that he took steps to try and address it.
"Al Horford seeking a big contract" lol you had me until that
Brad Stevens is the modern Red Auerbach.
I would subscribe for life to channel who actually mentions an important detail about KP trade: He chose boston. He was about to become free agent, so either wizards lose him for nothing or sign-and-trade him where he wants. And he wanted Boston. So Wizzards got a low pick and a roleplayer for him. Smart was moved to make space and get some picks.
Excellent points, and the nice thing is, it seems like Kristaps has found his "forever" home.
The Boston fans really love him, and he outwardly shows them the same kind of energy.
It's a good marriage, I think.
Fair, KP was highly underrated in the off season.
No matter what... Billy King should have a statue in Boston
HELL TF NO!
There will be a “30 for 30” documentary about this team starting with Kyrie to Boston, drafting Smart, Brown, and Tatum, all the way to this championship.
Moral of the story: Never trade with the Celtics.
As a Celtics fan, I’m happy those trades and draft picks came in so well and flourished.
Wen doin business with us(Celtics). As an opposing team, u gotta look to our future to see wut we're exactly trying to pull
Kristaps is a great player. But C's got him because he is often injured. Its not even Kristaps - its his build. He is so tall and slim that even being quite fit doesn't save him from injury.
This is extremely well made, subscribed
Much love bro I appreciate it.
I like Tingus Pingus!
Love Marcus smart but he took too many shots . And for he was known for his defense and tough play it just didn’t make it up . Jrue and derrick are more efficient and defend
Plus Marcus has lost a step in the last 2 seasons.
He started getting cooked a lot in his final Boston season, which was the biggest reason why they made him available.
But no matter what, Marcus will ALWAYS be a Celtic, and the fans will never gorget him or his contributions the last 10 years. He was our dawg! 🍀🦮🍀💯
This has always been the Celtics history. They got Bob Cousy through a dispersal draft, when a team failed. They got Bill Russell via trade with the St. Louis Hawks, who were the best team in the league at the time. They got Robert Parish and the pick with which they took Kevin McHale for 2 first rounders, who ended up being a couple of stiffs. Then there was the trade when they got Garnett and Allen. They haven’t ever been able to lure top free agents, but Red Auerbach, Danny Ainge and now Brad Stevens have been able to pull of some great deals.
i love jrue but damn i miss rob i have a bad feeling that he's gonna be out of the league with all those injuries
Jimmy Butler is how. He kept upsetting the Celtics and Bucks so Boston was willing to give up Smart and Robert Williams. He made Giannis desperate enough to trade Jrue away to prevent Miami from getting Lillard which has destroyed their defensive identity. Boston should thank Jimmy for getting Jrue and Giannis should be ashamed for not holding himself accountable and take on the challenge and being a better shooter and not coach blame like LeBron James.
No at the end its was Joe Cronins decision to give Boston Jrue for a jar of pickles out of pettiness.
@@Bft149Jrue didn't come cheap. Boston gave up a lot to get him....we didn't sucker Portland, in fact, they held Boston over a barrel in that deal because there at least 6 other teams interested in Holiday.
@@redriderbbgun8018 It was more advantages for Boston no matter what. Boston didnt lose with what they gained. No one should be mad at Boston for using logic. It more so Cronin for all that hoot and hollering he did just to end up in a deeper hole.
jrue leaving the bucks destroyed NO defensive identity, stop it
I think you are forgetting that in 2023, after coming back from 3-0 to tie the series, Tatum sprained his ankle in the 1st minute. And Boston beat Miami in 2022. Butler has been a very good player, but don't elevate him to royalty
The crazy part is the way the NBA salary cap is how did Boston got all these players under the cap.
I agree with white will look for a larger contract and might leave but we will definitely keep al horford
1:30 imagine if the Sixers had both the first and third picks… they’d probably have taken Ball and Fultz still lol
I've been saying Derrick White is a great NBA player for years. His adavnced stats are insane. No wonder Joe and Brad went out to get him.
Very underrated, it’s just hard when you’re on the spurs during those years.
were gonna be able to keep this team. we got JB for the next 5+ years, Jrue for the next 4 years and we’re most likely paying JT 315-330 Million during the offseason for the next 5-7 years.
7:00 this is hilarious in hindsight given that they extended literally everyone lmao
But they are way over the salary cap so tax is boutta go crazy.
@@WilboHoops True but they’re also gonna stay together at the end of the day regardless of the profit the team turns
Love the content ❤
CRAZY that he's only 19 year old 😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣😂😂😅😅😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂😅😅😅😂🤣😂😂😅😅😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😅😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Brad Stevens find tuned the 2023-24 roster after trading Marcus Smart for the core roster that helped them win this year's NBA title. But fans should not forget the true architect of this Boston Celtics Roster, Danny Ainge. This wouldn't have happened if he didn't trade away Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets more than a decade ago.
many don't know KP took a pay cut to be able to be on Celtics, strategy worked!
It’s the spirit of Red.
I don’t care what anybody says, the 2024 Celtics are the best team of all time
This is why so many people are hypocritical lunatics.
It’s only “highway robbery” because Boston had an exec take intiative and be there to pick up Milwaukee’s fumble.
If it were any other NBA franchise, they would be hailed as geniuses.
Salt City!
Exactly, I'm not a Celtics fan but Ainge and Stevens did a great job of building this team. The highway robbery was the Brooklyn trade, but the Bucks panic to get Dame was the dumbest move of the off season.
People act like teams was kicking down doors for Holiday, Porzinguis, or White. Now people want to say they deep.
Yes finally someone mentioned it.
I mean this roster always has been deep, people are just realizing because they won. I think I mentioned it in a few months ago. Good point tho.
Not enough credit is given to Danny Ainge for drafting Smart, Brown, Tatum and Robert Williams III. Smart was the key piece in acquiring Porzingis, while RW III was a key piece in the acquisition of Jrue Holiday. Ainge gave Brad Stevens the ammo to trade for those two.
They did it again last night in the NBA draft, picking Baylor Scheierman.
Spurs had to trade White to tank for picks, which eventually included Wemby. More GMs should look to tanking teams for value.
Oh most definitely.
Great video man!
Appreciate it man.
@@WilboHoops hope to see some more Celtics content lol but keep it up man, thanks for the vids!!
Robbery? They have been developing for years and they deserve it! You call it Robbery when these players are Star players from other teams who forced themselves to do everything so that they will get traded.
Just the titling really, championship is deserved.
good video up until you said Al would want more money. He only got 1 year left brah
He could sign one more year for more money. 🤷
Horford near 40yo, he’s seeking retirement not a larger contract.
If Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy next season & consistent 2025 playoffs Boston big chance get #19 banner next season 💯 no doubts 💪🔥💪
The leprechaun played the rest of the league like a fiddle 🎻
Horford to seek a larger contract? He's gonna be like 39 man. 😅😅😅😅. Great video but that made no sense
Remember Celtics had to let Paul Pierce go and trade up Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to get first round picks. It's about thinking about the future and letting go of pieces that didn't work in process.
The refs totally bailed them out in game 4 vs the Cavs when they were without Mitchell. That series would have been 2-2. Maybe Mitchell would have never returned but if he did the Celtics could have easily been upset. Something seems very fishy to me how the refs coddled them that game. The NBA did not want the Celtics to get upset by the Cavs at all costs. It is hard for me to respect the Celtics championship when I see bs like that.
You see what you want to see. Like billions of other a holes. Good for you.
The Js would not go well with any color other than green.
Porzingis already resigned. Tatum is getting the super max. Only player not signed past 2025 is Derek white. I think he takes a discount to stay
Who knows, maybe 🤷
Horford is already extended. White is the one who needs extension. That is, IF HE ACCEPTS.
Horford signed for additional 2 years I think
I think Horford and White are expiring in the next year. And Tatum’s has a bit until a new contract, but I bet they are already negotiating.
Boston Celtics 2024 NBA WORLD CHAMPION 🏆
FMVP: Jaylen Brown
I see it all the time when people complain about Jordan vs Lebron and that Jordans Bulls were stacked and thats why Lebron hasn't surpassed him. I cant wait to see in the future what people say about THIS stacked team.
Lechoke has had stacked teams most his career.
MJ played in an expansion era. A sick old magic nearly beat him with a team that was a shadow of showtime.
And he never really ever got on top of larry bird. A broken, slow pain wracked larry bird dominated the 'goat'.
This team was part built on players OTHER TEAMS DIDNT WANT. They drafted well. They did good deals for players whos teams clearly unvalued. Then they played the lost art of teamwork. Like Bird. Like Magic.
Man, a lot of misinformation in this video.
LA Lakers don't have 17 titles, they only have 12.
Minneapolis Lakers won 5 titles, but yet, somehow, Los Angeles has the gall to claim chips as their own.
That would be like Oklahoma City claiming 1979 title that the Seattle Supersonics won; It's patently absurd.
LAKERS ONLY HAVE 12 TITLES. PERIOD.
That's really petty. And as a Celtics fan, I love that narrative lol.
Y'all won when there was 8 teams in the league with 9 HOFers tf😂
Bro you realize the La lakers and the Minneapolis lakers are the same org dumbass shiting on this kid and you don’t even do research before blurting stupid shit out it don’t matter if u think they only have 12 wins they just changed owners they have 17 as a organization PERIOD
Jaylen Brown ENTER his 1st YEAR PRIMES 💪🔥💪
Good trades and desperation from Celtics players that realise that the team was probably gonna blow up right away or very soon if a banner wasn’t hung this time and they’ll be out of the NBA.
There's no finessing in these trades, the teams both want something and they have to give the best offer to get that... Now the Nets just finessed the Knicks 5 first and 2 seconds for Bridges lol that's a robbery.
I think some of these trades the Celtics sorta finessed, but the Nets got the get back by trading Bridges for sure.
You was cooking until you said this team wasnt gonna stay together for long.
Al isnt going anywhere. He already took more money leaving the celtics the first time. At his stage, its all about retiring a celtics hoping to win another chip
Derrick White and Tatum are already getting their extension worked out in the offseason
Brown new contract starts next season
KP already signed his extension
Jrue just got his extension
Pritchard just got his new extension
other than Hauser, this team will be intact for the next 3-4 years
The owner said they are keeping the whole roster.
The Celtics can keep them it’s called BIRD RIGHTS
My fear now is how they will match up Timberwolves or Denver next year. I bet Wolves and Denver will upgrade becoz they are already at the gates.
Horford deserves more credit thank Porsinkguis and you didn't give him his credit. Another Horford hater.
Yussssss 20k
Hello mate i really want to edit your basketball videos at high quality.
Got to say I can see the bias here. Jalen Brown was the eastern conference finals MVP and the finals MVP, so why am I seeing a lot of Tatum shots like he was leading the team? One would think Jalen deserves to be in those spots where I keep seeing Tatum. I mean I could at least understand if it was a 50/50 between them both because they are the leaders on the team but it’s not even that. Seems like someone has been influenced by the narrative about who Boston should have got rid of when they were trying to break up this amazing duo.
I agree, all Tatum did during these playoffs was LEAD the team in SCORING, REBOUND, STEALs and ASSISTS, man what a loser.
@@grsafran take the stick out your ass, nobody said Tatum is bad, address my points made. When was the last time you saw ANY video about a championship team and the MVP of that finals is not featured in the video but the runner up is? That’s the point of my comment. If you can’t grasp that then I can’t help you.
Dumb title
Dawg KP got extended last summer immediately the only player I guess in question of will he hit free agency is D white and obviously Tatum is gonna get he’s money other than that this team is locked in for a few years they could become a dynasty if the Celtics continue to re up correctly with role players !!! How did the nba let it happen if u look at the moves in dept Celtics still dint go out there and get a super duper star holiday was pretty much a after thought after the lillard trade and than KP the league simply thought he was wasted cause he was putting up great numbers on a bad team aka wizards and than d white it was just one of those deals where we got him early enough he was a sleeper In the league to simply put it when we went after the fancy names in the past aka kyrie Hayward it backfired so brad to a diffrent rout he kinda looked at who are guys that would complement jt and JB the best he dint go out there to grab a superstar it was really guys that are considered after thoughts or sleepers or washed !!!
Tatum and white will resign and Al will probably retire when his contract ends
Horford is gonna retire after next year not chase a new contract
A lot went right up front for the Celtics. Skill and a bit of luck.
Al horfird, at age 39 is going to demand more money? Are you ok in the head? Hes made almost 300 million in his career lmao. Hes still fetting 9.5 mil a year. How much money can a 39 year old center really demand lmao. Not much dude. If ANYTHING i bet you he takes a pay cut just to stay if he feels they can compete
Now im sorry but would any player rather win more champinships than get more money?
People are greedy brotha, idk.
i think portland trade jrue to celtics on purpose..to get revenge to dame,,they gave jrue to boston to give bucks a good competition.😂😂😂😂
unfortunately bucks can't get pass thru 1st round
Dis is missing me off.no competition. Jeee.all teams were just sending and letting the Celtics play. Don't be silly.maby you can go and be the one who plays against the Celtics

So for this season it was worth the high risk high reward,but going forward will KP be able to stay on the court ? 🤔
It’s definitely hard as a 7 footer, but you could only hope he stay healthy.
They didn't rob, they graduated. The Sons of Sir Wardell did it.

From "Why the Mavs will win 2024 Finals" to "How the Celtics got away with robbery" 😂 proves you are ultimate bandwagoner and have no idea what you are talking about
You gotta watch the Mavs video, I gave valid reasons, the Celtics were just the better team and deserved the win. I was wrong about my prediction.
Derrick White & Jrue Holiday INSANE BACK-COURT DEFENSE 💪🔥💪
the 2024 celtics are the 4th best team in the 21st century, only reason why im not saying #3 is the lack of comp but theyre going back to back so no worries
This was a work in progress, the Celtics have been finessing the NBA for years since Danny Ainge and Brad kept it going and took it to championship level.
Yeah I forgot to mention Danny Ainge’s impact tbh.
Al isn't going anywhere. He will take a pay cut to stay in Boston or he will retire. Only on a championship ready team would he leave for more money, and I can't see any other team that needs an Al Horford.
You never know.
7:05 KP was extended, Tatum’s about to be extended, Al already said he’s coming back, there’s not a chance on earth Brad and Wyk are letting D White go anywhere - he’ll be extended too. Granted, it can’t last more than 2-3 years with all that money, and I wouldn’t be stunned to see them move on from like a KP after a couple years… don’t care right now though. Time to enjoy this championship!
This should be a very humbling experience for the white hope Luka. All that ish he was talking against Minnesota
white hope is insane, and he had every right to talk ish against those minnesota degenerates, they were talking ish at first, also this loss doesn't mean nothing, Luka clear was and will always be by far the best player in the series, boston won cus they had an ultra stacked team that's it
Celtics aren't even in the running for deepest roster of all-time. They went 8 deep and to some extent six deep and two marginal rotation players. When teams lack that much depth, they are often an injury or two away from losing. And it's good they didn't have to face the Nuggets without a healthy KP. That would've been a gentleman's sweep by Denver, who basically weren't there due to their own lack of depth.
I wish Denver would have made it.
wouldve couldve shouldve The Nugguts shouldve handled business being up 20 in gm 7 against the Wolves then if they wouldve gentlemen sweep the celtics. That series alone told me the nuggets bench wasnt good enough to beat the Celtics if Murray or MPJ wasnt giving you anything
@@SeunAdekoya Nuggets would've beat KP-less Celtics. Jokic would've dominated. You're in denial if you think otherwise.
