They won the 24 finals, had their best player suffer season-ending injury yet still maintained a top 3 squad while cutting the team bill by 100m+.

we lost the 24 finals, destroyed the team for no reason, and now will miss the playoffs in back to back years.

I’d honestly trade 3 unprotected firsts for a competent GM like Brad

Life isn’t fair :(

Probably confusing, seeing your team make smart moves while yours struggles financially.

I feel that. Or well, I felt that. Our FO goes from really good to really bad depending on the year

Hey having 10pg on the roster is some next level thinking. I’m surprised other FO haven’t been so progressive and adapted.

You had it many many years ago

Between college and pros, if he retires tomorrow he would probably be a lock for the hall of fame. 

He’s basically this generation’s Riley (who followed Auerbach). I know Celtics fans probably throwing up at that but those are the guys who are elite coaches and turn into elite front office people is an extremely short list. He’s just like 50% of the way through his basketball career lol

This was supposed to be a down year :(

Since the Big Three, there was really only the one down year where our best players were Rondo, Jeff Green and Brandon Bass. Then we lucked into IT until the Jays took over, and the rest is history.

I mean, the Celtics are hitting a bunch of solid singles and Pelinka frequently hits into weak ground outs, but he also had a walk off grand slam to win Game 7 of the World Series, so

I’m hoping the new ownership will bring in their own people soon.

Kemba even broke down before leaving the Celtics and we turned him into Al Horford.

Our owner is also the owner of the Browns

We have one pick going to Portland and one swap going to San Antonio. Still got all of our other firsts. We’ve  got plenty of tools to add talent through the rest of the Jays’ prime

Keep going I’m almost there

I’m still holding onto hope that Tatum comes back

cant they sign spencer and a buyout now?

I’ve McFucken had it 

I like the mcCain trade for the sixers, he isnt going to play over the other guards, and 4 pick assets for a semi starting calibar player is great value.

I’ll hang it from Josh Harris’ mausoleum 

We started 5-7 as well

But you have to live in Boston… oh shit that doesn’t suck either 🤷‍♂️

The Red Sox deserve to suck for a long time because of that mookie Betts trade

Eh… the sox don’t look mediocre. Really good pitching rotation plus depth going into the year and Roman Anthony is gonna rip. Sure there’s an Alex Bregman shaped hole in the lineup now. The Sox would look even better if the AL east wasn’t a massive pain in the ass.

Hilariously the Sox have the same odds to win the title as the Celtics which it doesn’t feel like

He’s just a likeable guy too. I’d let him babysit for me.

When people wonder how Brad is so good at this you just gotta remember he nearly fucking won an NCAA title at butler

Even though he just turned 20, I am ready for a Gonzalez jersey from the fine folks at dhgate.

Can they just share it? Both teams are actually doing the exact same thing, potentially establishing a new meta of offensive rebounding.

Actually no, fight for it. I know Mazzy is crazy enough and Ott would study enough film to be as technical a fighter as Mayweather. That or sub in Ishbia.

Mitch is doing crazy things too. The league really has some well coached, well run teams. It’s gonna hopefully make for some epic playoff series. 

Booker has missed 10 games this season and last 6 in a row. Suns are 4-2 with wins against Detroit and Cleveland.

Might have something to do with the fact your second best player is an All NBA player and finals MVP. No shit the Suns wouldn’t be a playoff team if Brooks was the best player.

Yup. Almost every game. I think there’s like a half dozen a season that aren’t broadcast on local television for free.

They also mailed out antennas for free for people who didn’t have their TVs set up to get local channels.

All $2 each: hot dogs, popcorn, chips, 16oz Dasani water, 16oz fountain sodas, beef or bean tacos, and ice cream sandwiches

There are expensive options for nicer food too of course…but the cheap stuff is cheap to buy.

Some front offices really just turn on ESPN in the morning, put it on mute and look for the guy that gets a lot of screen time and they decide thats who they want to go after. Basically feels like the Lakers strategy for the past ³⁄₄ seasons.

Joe Lacob in shambles

It makes perfect sense when you realize one of the owners owns the Browns.

I don’t think it’s quietly anymore tbh. It’s pretty loud.

Brad is incredible and I love him, but there’s so much more than just him

we’ve got Mike Zarren who is an absolute genius with the cap rules in the front office and deserves just as much credit for our financial maneuvering as Brad does

Tyler Lashbrook and Phil Pressey are relatively unknown coaches but have been critical to our internal player development with their work in Maine. players like Luke Kornet, Sam Hauser and Jordan Walsh owe a lot of what they are to their time in Maine

finally it’s an organization-wide culture built around hard work, high character, defensive effort and doing whatever it takes to win. that culture is a credit to Brad and Joe, but also the consistent buy-in from our veteran leaders and the overall respect for what this franchise was built on

I think there’s maybe like two other teams in the league (Spurs and Thunder) who can argue to have anything like what Boston has as an organization

Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams, 2024 1st-round pick (via Warriors), 2029 unprotected 1st-round pick.

Its basically a 2029 unprotected 1st. Don’t think that’s a haul.

I had huge faith he’d be a good GM. But shit, now we need to hope to find a coach who is half as good as he is. Then IME gets himself thrown into horny jail. Fuck, now we gotta find another coach who is hopefully half as good as Brad. Brad is just a basketball savant.

That’s the really impressive fact. Brad has hired two coaches and they are both top 5 coaches in the League.

Pretty, pretty good.

Yeah sorry I got my words/sports mixed up lol, should’ve said

WHAT THE FUCK IS A DOWN YEAR???

Valid points

But let’s be real, Brown has been playing like an mvp candidate and top 5 player all year

Without him they’d be really bad
