Best Wishes...see ya!

Lets see...

A 29 year-old 5'8" shoot-first PG with a bad hip. Okay.
A 32 year-old Al Horford who averaged 4 or 5 rebounds in the Playoffs.
A prime Gordon Hayward.
Jae Crowder.
A couple of young players that might make the Celtics the 3rd best team in the EC in a few years.


Yeah, I'm not seeing a contender here. I'm seeing a team that's probably comparable to Portland, tbh.

Yup. If they could've landed Butler or George, that'd be another story.
 
Losing IJizz reminds me of when we lost Kanter. Addition by subtraction. Less fair weather time means more quality time for the Goberts of Jazzfanz to rise!



Jazzfanz is stronger for this.

If IT can't put up close to the same kind of season he had last year, the Celtics might actually take a step backwards. So much of their success really depends on IT being healthy and explosive and drawing defenders to create space for everyone else. Hayward will help, but he won't often draw a double-team on his own, and more often than not, he needs other players to help create space for him. A year from now, the Celtics will either lose their near-term cap flexibility to re-sign Thomas, or they'll lose him to another team that's more willing to pay him. Then where are they?

A lot is being predicated on the idea that Ainge can flip his depreciating trade assets for a superstar that wants to move. This year was their best opportunity to do it--when they had the #1 pick in a good draft and players like Butler and George were moving. Instead, he parlayed the #1 pick into probably the 4th or 5th best player in the draft. He's likely at this point to just play the long game and draft another young player who will start having an impact when Hayward is entering the final year or two of his deal.

If Ainge can't make that killer trade in the next year or two, the Celtics never really become a contender during Hayward's current contract.

People in Boston think their dead legends will be the hidden force that leads the Celtics to a championship.
 
So are we rooting for the Lakers this year? Boston has their pick, right?
 
Wow that guy trolled the whole board with one post. Awesome.
 
Yes, goodbye Robyn.
We ain't gonna miss your husband. Please tell him to come out the closet, though. I know you have suspected for the last year. You deserve to have it confirmed about him and Brad. There's nothing to be ashamed of. He'll be a true hero just like John Amaechi and Jason Collins.

And think of the book deal! You and Gordon are already published authors. I have no doubt you are Gordon's ghostwriter.

Here's a swell idea: post a picture of the kids in rainbow colored clothing. It will allow his followers to come to terms with it before you announce it publicly.
