As good as LaMelo is, I think the front court is the pressing issue. We knew losing Al was going to be an issue, but Brad didn't come close to fulling that void.

I just looked at Ball's stats and I didn't realize how few games he has played the last several seasons. 

2022-23   36 games
2023-24   22 games
2024-25   47 games

Only 9 of 15 games so far this season.  I don't think this is what this team needs right now.  We need steady, predictable, reliable players, not so much for this season, but for 2026-27 and beyond.
yeah that had always been his biggest issue. He just can't stay healthy. He is an immense talent though.

Anyone rethinking their position on this trade? lol

I checked in on how Sheppard and Eason are doing.  Still nothing special.  So nothing has changed for me.  I know that White is having an off season so far, but I feel like we all should know what White can do based on track record in high leverage situations.  With Sheppard and Eason, plus any picks, it is only speculation, hope that they improve.

Maybe there is a 3-way deal where these prospects and picks from HOU can go somewhere and a real proven player can come to BOS.
Sheppard has shown significant growth and improvement which you know makes sense as he is a 21 year old 2nd year player.  He was also the 3rd pick in the draft. He will likely be better than White some time next season and the gap will just continue to grow as Sheppard gets better and as White ages and gets worse.  Sheppard for White would be a good trade for Boston as the Celtics would get younger, cheaper, and more talented.

A different comparison = Reed vs last year's Pritchard

Pritchard = 14.3ppg 3.5apg 3.8rpg in 28.5mpg.
Reed = 13.6ppg 3.1apg 2.4rpg in 24mpg.

Pritchard = 47.2% FG 40.7% 3PT 63.3% TS
Reed = 50.7% FG 48.8% 3PT 65.7% TS

Pritchard = 0.9spg 0.2bpg 1.0 turnovers
Reed = 1.6spg 0.4bpg 1.1 turnovers

I love seeing MPJ have some success. He has had such a rough career with injuries. He has done an incredible job to come back from that. I love watching him shoot the ball as well. One of the prettiest jump-shots in the league. Beautiful shooter.

Kind of a depressing loss.

On 12/15 with losing record is what I need to see to call for the full tank. Guys not on trade block would be Tatum, Brown, Gonzo, Queta, PP and Minott ( maybe Walsh if he can show more by the 15th). Everyone else could go for expirings and picks I've seen enough.
