Boston Roster

Trae Young/Ish Smith/Kris Nunn

Jaylen Brown/Brandon Ingram/Tyler Herro

Luka Doncic/Robert Covington

Kristaps Porzingas/John Collins/Lauri Markkanen/Davis Bertans

Karl Anthony-Towns/Wendall Carter Jr./Tacko Fall


Boston does this because:

They need bigs
They need top 5 players to win it all
They need bench shooting
They need clutch players
They need to never lose again
They need to never start slow again
They need to never have to come back from a deficit again
They need to beat every bad team by 30 point
They need a roster spot to convert Tacko to the 15 man roster because he is almost an All Star based on voting
They needed a makeover
They needed to match up better against teams in the playoffs
Danny is a terrible GM
Danny can't draft
Danny defers to Stevens needs too much
Stevens is a terrible coach
Stevens needs a fool proof roster
Stevens is soft
Stevens isn't man enough to stand up to players
Stevens won't ever have to be late on a timeout call again
I needed my binkies on the team
I needed Danny to make a trade no matter what
I needed to stop hearing about the sky is falling
I needed the over the top negativity over a very normal mid season lull to stop

All the other teams do this because:

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHY THEY DO THIS.



They just do.

When you can't beat a Sixers team without Embiid and all the core 5 players of the Celts are healthy, it's unacceptable!

The sky is falling when a G-League player named Pelle outplays Enes Kanter.

Pelle?

Seriously?

And Al Horford abused Theis in the paint late in the 4th qtr.

So yeah, the sky is falling!

Remember that time the Jordan Bulls lost 10 games in a season, all to inferior teams?

Slackers. Somebody should have torn that team down. No heart.

I'm a little disappointed we aren't getting Drummond in this trade. Why aim so low?

That was a team with Michael Jordan.

This current Celtics team have no one close to being a Michael Jordan.

It's freakin' mid January.  The team is 25-11.  Current 3 seed in the East.

The point is that even the best of teams have slumps.  Hell, look at some of other top teams in the NBA this season.  You know what you'll find?  3 game losing steaks.

Let's wait until the spring before we start jumping off cliffs, shall we?

This team ain't the Jordan Bulls. Nobody is afraid to drive to the hoop against the Cs right now-now is the time to bring in a FA center like Noah who would clearly be an upgrade

Nice trade idea, but LeBron probably does not sign off on this deal so it does not get done.

Even if it gets done there is still a missing piece.

Brad Stevens out, Popovich in.

Now you are SET.

Because asking for Zion instead of Ingram would make it too unrealistic?


I wanted to throw this all in the trade machine to see it work.  But all the trade machines I can find online all limit trades to only 4 teams.  Really this is just Boston making 7 different trades so it doesn't need to be done altogether, still it would have been cool to see it done altogether.

All seem to work individually though.  Wanamaker would probably be selfish though and mess it all up with his veto power.

Also not doing it if we have to throw in the Memphis pick.  That pick is just too valuable.  ;)

It's not a bad idea, but adding Poirier to the deal makes it an overpay on our end  :laugh:

Danny admitted that he messed up last year with his lack of moves and trades. He’s about to mess up again. This team is at most a second round exit and everyone knows that.
When everyone is healthy it’s a toss between Celtics , Miami Raptors and pacers for third best team in east.
Slumps and losing streaks happen to all teams but this one feels different.
Let’s do something to address our needs. If not for this year let’s do something that will enable us to make the right move next year. Get on more salary goign into next year so we can trade for a bigger contract (star player)
