Welcome Paul George.  Expectations should be about 50 games and 15 ppg, supportive of younger teammates, good fit with JT, PP, and DW, good shooting % (37%+ from 3) and solid defense. 

All above is reasonable. If HuBaWa can reduce PGs minutes to 25-28 all the better.

HuBaWa?  Is this the new moniker for "random wing"?  Have you cleared this with Celtics2021?  I think he claimed the trademark.  ;) 

You hit on something I have been thinking about.  PG does seem like the type that will be a good influence on the young players, in his quiet, mellow way. 

PG is our guy now, like it or not (and apparently there are some that don't like it).

Two different things.  Paul George cannot replace Jaylen Brown but that does not mean he won't contribute to the team in his own way.  I have accepted the trade and now I want to focus on what PG can do to help the Celtics.

I have said many times that I don't like the trade, that I do not think the trade made the team better.  But that does not mean I don't like PG.  I am not going to dwell on this.  I like what I saw from PG in the playoffs and I hope he keeps that up for the Celtics.  And we will see if Management is able to do anything with the picks or otherwise to help the team.

Yeah, not approved.  Random Wing (TM) also includes Harper and Hauser.

So, you're among the people that don't like that PG is our guy now.  That makes your "apparently" clause seem odd.

lol. you are grasping and coping. boston choked hard in playoffs blowing a 3-1 series lead for the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY!  maxey and embiid are what made philly capitalize on our choking. PG is not a difference maker. that 3 point % he had in playoffs will NOT hold up.we have gotten collectively worse not better.
FIRE JOE NOW!

I have no idea what this means.  I don't like that Brown NOT being one of our guys anymore.  I am fine that George is one of our guys and I plan to root for him and hope for the best.  It is irrespective of how Paul George got here.  How he got here is water under the bridge at this point and PG is not to blame for how he got here.

That is what I mean by two separate things.

HuBaWaHaHa - I don't know about that one

I considered the full five wing version but thought I?d start small. I don?t think there?s any stopping it now.
