Tatum thinks he will be traded for AD after the season, so he has checked out.
That's all well and good except no GM in their right mind trades away a top 5 player in the world for draft picks, G-leaguers, salary fillers, and the most overhyped bumb in the sport ATM who will probably only atrophy more and more every day that goes by. Except for his excellent shot selection and unquenchable desire to stop ball movment and chuck up contested long 2's which like most of this shots this year, have bricked to the point 10 houses have been built with them.
What p---es me off the most is after that amazing rookie season, the whole city had his back, celebrated and praised him, and he turncoats us and goes out to LA to get "coached" by our biggest nemesis player who starred for our biggest nemesis team. Ya, that was really some coaching job. Objective met by Magic, Kobe, and the Lakers, as this jerk couldn't even make Massachusetts all-state in high school basketball and in three years probably won't even be in the league. It wouldn't shock me if we couldn't get a heavily protected 2nd round draft kid for "insert epletive." Get attah here Tatum and find another trade because your once promising basketball career is in unrepairable shambles, he himself is an unappreciative, stupid, ungrateful, self-centered and selfish, entitled, ignorant, mentally weak soon-to-be nothing while in his mind God himself was a gift to Tatum.
Fingers have been pointed multiple times at everyone involved with the Celtics, from the brass on down to the players as the reason for their complete flop and painful to watch season that has left many not wanting to see or hear about them again for a long time. No need to point fingers anymore, it's been figured out, Tatum is and has been the primary reason for this catastrophe since before the season even started and it started with his star-struck jump for joy acceptance to go out and be ruined by Kobe. As a person Kobe sucks from pretty much all accounts, but he was a legit All-Time Great player, and singlehandedly and irrepairably ruined and outsmarted (obviously so easy your average 3rd grader could easily do it) this tool. Leave Tatum. Performance and actions are the ONLY currency accepted in terms of building a reputation and legacy. You don't have near enough currency for the transaction to stay you immature and childish weak-minded fool. Good riddance, I hear the plumbers union pays pretty well with overtime.
