First, TP to nick for the summary. Really interesting comments, at least for me. Being in Argentina is kind of hard to keep up with everything that's happening around the Celtics, especially through Boston's radio interviews.
To me, Kyrie thinks he's a lot smarter than what he really is, at least outside the court. And Brown seems like a really intelligent person, but he sometimes doesn't translate that into the court. And both things brought us a lot of problems during this miserable season. The thing is, Jaylen is still young, and I think with more experience he might fix some of them.
Kyrie is a weird guy, who wants to be a leader (with good intentions, for what is worth), but he just sucks at that. Time will tell if he ends up learning from his mistakes, but it feels like this is who he is. His personality, I guess.
It still sucks to lose him for nothing, and to me he's a special player on the court. Ideally, I would like him to come back, figure out things with Brown and Stevens (I honestly don't care about Rozier if he stays) and compete for championships as part of the Celtics. But that's highly unlikely, and this past season was so disappointing, and long, and... sort of a torture, honestly, that it would be a high risk to run it again.
