@denniden at this point i wouldn’t give up Tatum for Kawhai straight up. Call me a homer and a prisoner of the moment but this kid is just filthy and is only 19!
I know I am a homer as well, two fold in Tatums case, but I agree with you. I think he is very close to being untradable. He is so far ahead of where he was “suppose” to be right. Wouldn’t let Rozier or Brown go anywhere either. I really like Kawhai though, and you never know with Zarren and Ainge.
Yeah on the latter half of your post, you never know. Personally I’d shop around on Rozier. His stock will never be this hot and you’re foolish if you don’t at least explore what you can acquire if you’re Ainge. I think Kawhai is fantastic but I’m not giving up Tatum at this point. I’m floored by how good Brown has been, i thought initially that was a bad pick by Boston, boy was i wrong.
I am very surprised that Brown doesn’t get more love for most improved player.
It's simply amazing what Boston is doing right now. Combine a basketball mind like Brad Stevens with a front office, that isn't missing on a single personnel move, and this is what you get. No matter what injury occurs on this roster, they just keep on moving without missing a beat. It will be interesting to see what happens when they meet Lebron in the next round.
I don’t play the “it’s over” when it comes to any sport. Philly is good and they play hard. Tough to close out teams like that.
I do think you make good point about the Celtics front office. There is a little bit of luck in there too. There was actually a team willing to give Boston what Brooklyn was for Garnett and Pierce. Boston got lucky to get the draft picks they did in that trade.
Trust me, I generally don't either. Even though no team has ever came back from 3-0, it's only a matter of time. I just don't think this is the one that changes history. Boston just seems like a terrible matchup for them. Playmakers at every single position and the fact that they have a potential game 7 at home to finish the series is obviously huge. You're definitely right on the Brooklyn trade! The ammunition they gave you expedited that rebuild. Your front office is firing the gun that Brooklyn loaded.
Jayson Tatum led Boston with 25 points in a 114-112 win over Philadelphia and will face Cleveland in the Eastern Conference finals. JJ Redick scored 14 points for Philadelphia.
BI looked to be really improved this past season. Future is really bright for him.
Tatum is my favorite OAD Duke player of all time. If he had stayed 3 years, or rather, if he had beeen in an era where players stayed 3, he’d be an all time favorite.
So smart. So good.
