You let Kyrie walk, keep the picks for now and let the youngins grow. Maybe someone else becomes unhappy and you trade for them.

Personally, I would move heaven and earth to get Klay Thompson but that's not happening. It's not like anyone is beating the Warriors anyway.

I really like the PG at Marquette. If he could backup Rozier that's a start. Let Brown and Tatum grow into their roles and in 2 years both will be in the All Star game.

Don't sell the farm to make Kyrie happy.
Getting Klay is a dream scenario but what about Bradley Beal it CJ McCollum? Both would look great in the starting line up with the young guys...

I want to be done watching Terry Rozier.  If Kyrie goes I hope and pray Rozier goes too
Rozier is frustrated and rightfully so. Kyrie said he wants more minutes and Stevens is giving it to him. Kyrie knows that when Rozier is right the chemistry is better.

Rozier is a starter anywhere else. Sure he has bad games but why dont people criticize Kyrie when he goes 9-27? Rozier is a better defender, rebounder. He doesn't complain and he's about team. Kyrie is a diva.

rozier has poor BBIQ and takes horrible shots. he has had more bad games than good this season...

I have to agree about Rozier being better on the defensive end, but he has to be more efficient in limited minutes. Maybe if he just stops looking to shoot first it will come to him.

rozier is a black hole on office. didnt move the ball once last night. just kept taking contested shots.

maybe the guy is a starter, but in the playoffs last year he averaged 16ppg and was clearly the 3rd fiddle behind tatum/brown. Kyrie averages 24ppg and can be a #1 guy

Hey Celtics fans aren’t the most unappreciative ones... lakers fans hoping for Lebron to demand a trade lol. This is from SSR site:
“....
Cant wait for his trade request lol...

Its kind of ironic to see all the criticism regarding Lebron the last few weeks, i said it a couple weeks before that and got grilled by many over here

but i guess people are finally realizing how toxic this guy is…. i keep saying this but you need to trade him! if Magic is really close with Kawhi’s uncle it’s time to some business involving the drama king, deport him & his Klutch sports management out of the country for a sign and trade Kawhi,

Posted  by Abdel Riff  on Feb 24, 2019 | 12:23 AM
I am with you all the way.

My dream is to trade him to the Knicks as a salary dump and all their draft picks so LeBron can reunite with Broken Knees Kyrie there....”

 I've questioned the IQ of this team it's not just Rozier. Steven's encourages freedom of play and that is part of the problem. He doesn't want players thinking too much but that develops bad habits and undisciplined play. When Rozier plays well, this team rolls...that's a fact.

If Rozier is as good as you say he is, how come the Celts didn't beat the Cavs in game 7 of the ECF last season?

I'm just glad we were there. The only person not there was Kyrie supporting his team.

If Kyrie is so good why are we sitting in the 5th seed?

Because several members of this basketball team are underachieving, playing lazy, or playing selfishly.

Throwing it all on the feet of Kyrie is asinine.

This board will be whining about a 45 win season and lacking a true alpha.

This board will probably complain about any type of team.

But I'm sitting here looking at the Pacers and thinking, man, they don't have a chance of making the Finals, but neither does this rotten Celtics team.  At least the Pacers are a balanced hardworking team with lots of guys I like.

I'd prefer that, if we're not gonna have genuine contention.

Kyrie is a empty stat sheet stuffer. His stats don't equate to wins.

Stop blaming Brown. He's a bench player and not even getting major minutes.

This team is disjointed. I truly feel none of them like playing with Kyrie. Its obvious.
It really is funny when people say a guy who averaged 30/4/3 in a historic Finals comeback, including hitting one of the biggest shots in NBA history to win a championship, produces stats that don't lead to wins.

Literally can't make this stuff up
 

Sure his stats mattered in that finals while playing with lebron...they wouldve  been a lottery team without lebron.

Why? Because Hayward, Rozier and Brown are inconsistent, that's why. Also, Smart's offense has regressed over the last several games. And also because Baynes has been made of glass this season and we haven't had a center to provide rebounding and defense. As we saw last night, Markkanen and even Lopez were getting to the net, at will. Horford can only do so much as he's naturally a PF.

I don't understand the Rozier binky-dom.

I don't either, especially when it's pretty clear he doesn't play as hard or as focused when he doesn't start. For a guy that's supposed to be about the "team" as some claim, that should be unacceptable.
