Pritchard: "Celtics never made offer for PG. Would have accepted reported offer"

I think we got our Paul George in JT11. He'll be as good in a couple of years.

I agree. JT actually works out better for us than PG13 re: timing. By the time the Celtics are ready to make a legit push, JT will be entering his prime, and PG will be on the wrong side of 30.

You got any more best-case scenarios we should hope for...er, I mean "have to rely on"?

Too bad our current "big three" will be beyond their prime once (if) he reaches that level.

I am confused by some of this. Everyone talks about how Lebron is still amazing and this unstoppable force and he is going to be 33 at the start of the season. Yet, we have Hayward who will not be 33 till 2023 when he wont even be under contract with us and people act like he is a year or two away from being washed up...

Yeah, I can tell you're confused if you really just compared Lebron James to Gordon Hayward (and by extension, IT and Horford).

Not to mention, how long exactly Lebron will stay in his prime remains to be seen.
