I think every sensible Celtics fan would dump Jae for KD, and that's coming from someone who loves Jae, who owns his freaking jersey. It's all irrelevant, though, Jae wasn't the deal breaker. The deal breakers were Steph and Draymond and Klay. We have no answer for that.
And the best coach in the NBA in Steve Kerr.
I have my doubts about Kerr being one of the best coaches in the NBA. I think every coach could do a fantastic job with a team like the Warriors; I mean just look at what Walton did while Kerr was out.
Yeah, Kerr's a bit overrated because he's had a loaded team. Walton had the 20 win streak, and a good bulk of the win totals. If Kerr was that good he wouldn't have ran his team into the ground going for the wins record. Jackson shut Jordan/Pippen/Rodman down the last hand full of games after they got the record. I remember thinking they could kill it and put it out of reach, but he was sitting those guys for the title run.
But Kerr pushed them and they had to go threw a tough 7 games with OKC and lost steam against the Cavs. When you have a jump shooting team that depends on out side shot, you need to have fresh legs. No legs no shots.
You give that team to Pops they'd go undefeated till the all star break.
