Boston Celtics - too much talent?

No such thing as too much talent, it's how that talent is being used

Stevens has excelled taking underdog teams further than they should, now can he take a favourite to the next level.
And Ainge would trade his grandmother if he got a first rounder thrown in.

The current CBA means Kyrie is going to get paid stupid money next season, so I get why some might consider trading him, but he’s too close to the end of his contract now to get enough in return. As much as Rozier played surprisingly well last season, he doesn’t give the Celtics Championship level scoring like Kyrie does. Smart’s signing and Irving’s impending contract offer means Rozier is gone after this season.

Hayward’s not going anywhere either. He and Stevens are close and it would be a massive slap in the face by Ainge to trade Hayward after he signed here as a FA. He can also do a lot more than Brown once he’s back to 100% and I think that will happen during the season.

As much as I like Brown, he’s the most likely player to be traded. He’s got plenty of potential other teams will be interested in and Boston needs to make a move because there aren’t really enough minutes for him to grow.

Horford’s defensive play last season was the reason they made the conference finals and his injuries this season are the #1 reason they are falling short of expectations. Celtics can make a run this season if Horford gets healthy, but they really need Davis to convert this talented roster into a dynasty.

Trade Hayward back to Utah for Crowder and Favours or Chicago for Parker, free up some money for when they have to pay Brown and Tatum. Then Irving to Knicks for picks

Unfortunately they can’t trade for Davis due to already having Kyrie under the same type of contract as Davis.
So they have to wait until the offseason or trade Kyrie.
The Davis trade is going to linger all season unless the Lakers throw all their young guys into a deal for him.

Best deal for the Celtics would probably be a trade for Beal, they don’t really have a true SG.
Beal would excel next to Kyrie.

Maybe Brown, Smart and filler for Beal

But it seems like they will wait and hope they can get Davis later. They have the best trade chips for him so the Pels will just wait out the season and open the trade flood gates.

terrible commentating once again.

Stacker obviously gave the team the green light to shoot from the 3..shooting was terrible. Cadee is a good player But the difference between Cadee and Delly is quite glaring.

Greenwood was more aggressive which was good but missed a ton of threes.

Why was Brock Motum omitted? would have been good to see him instead of Tunks or Pineau.

Defence wasn't terrible, but australia had no offense..'just jack up a three when you feel like it' but have been stackers game plan, I don't think i saw one pick and roll
