Trade Crowder and Thomas as soon as possible/ The recent big 3

[celtics2030]

Tired of these "leaders" These guys need to be trade to get the ball rolling, you can't win championships with these role players starting

They p---ed me off when they tore Marcus Smart down in front of thousands at the game and thousands watching.

Totally Pathetic , I wanted to slap Thomas and Crowder upside the head.

That's one thing you never saw with the recent big 3 champions. Paul Ray and Garnett never did that type of stuff, never embarrassed any of the teammates like that....They were hall of fame players at that point and

now you got two role playing scrubs like Crowder and Thomas who are getting starter minutes who in reality will never be nothing more than role players are on decent good team.

They can have their fun right now acting like they are something.


TRADE these guys for more picks or offer them in a package , Let Smart play 40 minutes a game and do what he has to do to develop

dont let these bootleg starters tear down the young players that were picked as potential future players.

Nah dude these are the two guys you keep along with Smart... These are the three that can actually contribute on a contender, maybe KO or Sully as well.

All you do this year is dump most of the frontcourt (Jerebko, Lee, Zeller) and add Mickey to the rotation. Then not make the playoffs and add another lotto pick to the Nets one which thanks to their firings today should be guaranteed awful now (like top 5 worst). Then make a trade in the offseason with those picks for a star or make the picks and infuse talent into the above mentioned players

One of those scrubs is reasonably likely to be an all star.

The other is Demarre Carroll on 7m a year. Actual Demarre Carroll is paid twice that.

Thomas wants to play minutes. If he doesnt he will jack when hes a role player. Don't need him. HE wont work if this team becomes a contender. Too short, you aint winning nothing with him. Thats the solid fact. He can score and make celtics fans happy but its all a smokescreen.

Crowder is another overrated player. But yea he can come off the bench to help, but hes going to want more money than he deserves as well.


I saw what i had to see today. That made me angry. You don't do that.

Isaiahs stat line begs to differ

what exactly did they do?

[Denis998]

Its not Crowder and Thomas that are the problems, they are clearly the two best players on this team. David Lee is the Issue.

Here's the play I think he's referencing:

https://twitter.com/ByJayKing/status/686379373088247809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Apparently most of us missed that play. I know I did. Smart apologized in the locker room for it. Stevens didn't call for a foul, which is why they were all mad. It looks like it was a stupid play by Smart, but none of them (especially IT and Crowder) can say anything about bad plays or turnovers at the end of games.

EDIT: Watching that again, I get the OP's frustration with Thomas. That's immature and not characteristic behavior of a leader. How many times has he lost games for us by turnovers or stupid shots when the time is running down. This is a really bad loss for the team.

[celtics2030]

Thomas looked like a baby

and Crowder acts like he's never done anything stupid. He always does stupid things.

The same goes for his ridiculous whining after he misses and layup and expects to get bailed out by the refs.

Jae Crowder : Signed on July 9, 2015 for 5 years, $35,000,000

[celtics2030]

Wow , actually thats a decent deal for a good role player. It flew by me.

You don't do that. Period. I don't them doing that to my young players.

Paul Piece Ray Ray and Garnett would never do that, they might pull him a side and give them a little , hey man dont do that,

but never would they jump around like little babies

or come at him like crowder did,

you also probably missed Smart's reaction. He started cussing them out as well.

Oh wow, really? I was thinking that he was yelling at the ref or the other team. Yeah, definitely not good.

[Denis998]

That was purely a frustration foul on the part of Marcus not getting a call on the other end, which probably cost the Celtics the game when it was all said and done. No fault on Isaiah and Crowder for actually caring about winning the game, their frustration was well warranted. Rookie mistake on the part of Marcus.

[Future Celtics Owner]

Well idk what it was that turned a lot of posters around to getting rid of the hack"depth" players we have.
1)They make it impossible to develop
2)They pad our wins in the regular season, even if its just several, that can mean 7 draft position swing.

For this to happen we would need to trade AB as well because he has a great contract and is probably playing the best ball of his life.....along with IT and Crowder. BTW we dont have to trade for picks, get a good young prospect or maybe 2.

If we do well in the lottery and get a young guy with the trade ...CBS might actually get excited, why does everyone think he will bolt or that we have to baby him
