Reason for Optimism

[KG Living Legend]

 That's exactly why I created this thread as a preemptive strike. Knew Davis would end up in LA.

Exactly.

I never felt like Irving new what it was to be a Celtic. I think Smart/Brown/Horford get it, Hayward I think will, he had a weird season of trying to get healthy, get his game back and trying to please his teamates. I think Tatum is boardline, with Irving gone we can get him to commit to the Dark Side cookies Irving was seemingly against.

I’ll never fully understand the Rozier bashing and the Capela praising.

I know, right?

Rozier plays well when he starts.

I don't agree with the idea that we need to honor Horford by trading him to a contender.  Is he an asset to this team going forward? Of course he is.

if we lose kyrie roziers ass had best be gone

[MaxAMillion]

The reason for optimism is that there are no longer championship aspirations to deal with? Yeah ok

Rozier was awful last season so I definitely understand the desire to have him gone.  But... a good stretch as a starter that is reminiscent of the last quarter/playoffs 2017-18 and most here will change their tune quickly.  He has some skill... I am dubious but not hopeless.
