Anyone else a little concerned with his chest pass accuracy ? Lol he had trouble with every single one.

That's because he never passes the ball.

He passes it twice every game.
 :laugh:

haha Tatum is a good passer, he just doesn't do it as much as I would like.  Congrats to him though on the skills challenge.  Probably the most low key 'competition' I have ever seen.  Was anyone really trying? 

Either way good to see him win.  Go Tatum!!!

Love this kid. Too bad we’re going to have to watch him in New Orleans.

Saw it live - totally exciting, especially as a Cs fan!

It’s true, though. I am already feeling a bit disconnected from Tatum as a C - seems it’s just a matter of time before he is in a NOP uniorm.

Tatum can definitely be special, but I think we may actually stunt his growth here.

He can flourish in NO, whereas he may struggle to find his identity here with the talent level around him.

Really all depends on how confident DA is at lining up Kyrie/AD longterm. And then what the package looks like. I don’t feel we need to give much more besides Tatum, picks, and filler. How we get to that salary will be tough though: Tatum, Yabu, and Williams are only $13M, add a couple million for Sac pick and our pick. Still not there. I guess we can include Brown instead of Baynes if we can keep Morris.

It’s not like we will realistically be able to pay Brown big money anyway, might as well keep the big guy who’s got the championship pedigree. Use MLE on a decent backup wing and resign Theis.

Nice little win for Tatum
Luka gave him a hint how to win it with that "free" long range attempt.

The guy is so humble, a joy to watch.

When all is said and done I think he'll still be a celtic

This kid is special.

If it's Tatum that NO wants, they're not getting much more besides filler in my book.
