Honestly I think being lost in all this was the Celtics were a 56-win team without Tatum for the first 60 games of the year and with D-White shoot 33% from three.

Assuming they can smooth things over with JB they could just sign a player with the MLE an make their pick at #27 and be very good next year with some improvement from the young guys.
and lost in the first round after losing in the 2nd round rhe year before.  More of the same without major changes is all anyone can expect.

Yeah, this is how I feel. What a missed opportunity. I don?t care what they do in the regular season if they are just an early out in the playoffs.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Teams are now preparing to send offers for Jaylen Brown after Celtics strike out on Giannis,
Per @WindhorstESPN

What I expect to happen, is a bidding war for Jaylen Brown. In the most recent days, teams have been preparing for this eventuality. I think it?ll take time to play out, but if there is a draft pick involved, it could happen today.

I do not believe this at all.

I do. There were lots of reports for 3rd teams involved in a Giannis/Brown trade. Makes sense those teams and maybe others would make an offer for Brown.  May need to change it slightly but Im sure offers will come in for Brown as he makes sense on a handful of teams which could trade value for him and still be good. 

Another outside the box trade

Jalen Williams, Kenrich Williams, Isaiah Joe, 12 for Brown, 40

Agree to trade now, OKC makes the pick for Boston (and vice versa) and finalize after new league year when Williams extension kicks in (OKC woukd need to work the options as well). OKC upgrades their 2nd best player and shaves some salary, while Boston gets a younger running mate for Tatum and a late lotto pick. 
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner

I think teams will make offers, but I don't think a trade will happen.  We would need more than Milwaukee got for Giannis, and I don't see teams offering that.

This is what Shams had to say this morning. Apparently the Celtics were unwilling to include young players like Hugo and Baylor or any other assets in a trade for Giannis. It was just JB and two firsts.

Shams also believes there will be fallout from the Celtics repeatedly trying to shop JB.

Shams is pretty candid that he doesn't know what Milwaukee was asking for.  However, he speculated "a young player or two" and additional draft picks.

Would you have done Brown + Hugo + BS + 2026, 2027, 2031 #1s? 

Because at that point, it's just silly.  Brown is being severely devalued there.

I would have done: Brown + Hugo + BS + 2026, 2027 #1s. Brad being unwilling to throw in a couple of prospects to land someone like Giannis is asinine. Thought the goal was to win another championship.

I wouldn't say asinine.  We still don't have a ton of salary space, and trading both Hugo and BS would have cost a lot of cheap depth.

Also, Shams speculated young players *and* additional picks, not just young players.
