I’m being told PP is lightskin Jalen Brunson, so for that reason I’m siding with the latter

Dean Wade vs Jayson Tatum

Revenge for the fultz trade and playoff losses after all these years, sorry bruh

The Celtics Way when you think about it, beating the best teams and then taking one of their players

When your lil bro finally goes through puberty and suddenly it’s payback for all the years of abuse

After years of torture from you guys, we are having quite the 3 month run of retaliation. I’ll take it

Yall wanted AJ Brown so bad 🤷🏻‍♂️ consequences my guy

As long as Tatum is good to go and you guys get Aaron Nesmith-like production out of Paul George, y’all will be fine.

Biggest short term blunder has been the apparent inability to find an upgrade at the 5.

(Forgot they signed Mitchell Robinson. Not the bonafide starting center I thought the Celtics would get, but a big upgrade to the overall center rotation.)

In the long term, not being weighed down by Brown’s contract/contract extension is a huge blessing.

Remember when they took Al Horford? They hate y’all.

Though I will say taking players from the team they had a 3-1 comeback on is kinda funny

Wait until they get Jrue, Horford, and Bob Cousy.

That PG contract was a mess too tbh.

find a new slant.

You can put a patch of a fish over the extra M

Dusting off my Jonathon Simmons

Hard pass. The fans hate him and he doesn’t love basketball we don’t need him back at all. Definitely don’t need him in the same lockerroom as VJ lol.

Remember when he was walking around during practice with his cell phone and not talking to his teammates. Or when he threw Thybulle under the bus a few days ago

Get his stink on our brand new team? no thanks man, we don’t need him moping around the locker room cause he hates basketball and can’t get a real job

microwave scorer off the bench on $6mil a season

seems like a great deal to me

He was really, really solid as a 6th man for the Celtics.

he was doing well on the Celtics just last season lol

Nah you didn’t watch him last year in Boston, he really improved with us. Became passable defensively and thrived next to brown in a simplified offensive role

I would’ve loved to have him back before I stopped giving a shit after we traded brown, now I couldn’t care less who we sign but I’m happy for anf

Since when is a microwave scorer off the bench not a steal?

Brad Beal, LeBron, oladipo, Ben Simmons let’s go

the gator that was promised

The East is looking really fun as a neutral

Reigning champ Knicks

Pacers with a hopefully healthy Hali back

Heat with Giannis, Bam and Scraps

Toronto with Kawhi round 2

76ers without PG

Crazy how low value scoring combo guards are now

Embiid aint playing until the playoffs

Nope Wade would, Wade did exactly that in Cleveland he’s a great defender and versatile too

Lowkey a healthy version of this lineup sound really good

Nobody else with that skill set, gotta be VJ.

Jaylen Brown is also a very underrated defender. Can’t believe anyone is doubting this team on the defensive end.

Brown can’t defend smaller point guards. He was getting fried by Maxey. He matched up well against luka because luka is slow.

Barlow will probably also play minutes at backup C.

Do Sixers fans rate Barlow? I watched a bit of Sixers last season and remember not really being a fan of his but Sixers fans would have a much better idea than me.

Will ultimately be the starting center lol

Tale as old as time

Hmm I think they needed a few more of those

Maxey and VJ were playing 40 mins a game during the regular season last season.

You can play more than 3 guards lol

That’s our pg off the bench

Maxey said I’m not playing 45 mpg again fam

A scoring guard not getting playing time on the Sixers? I’ve seen where this goes

And hes not really a pure point guard more of a scoring first point guard

Simons is more of a SG

he’s on a 2 year deal. I mean literally this does not affect philon it’s better that he isn’t having to play pressure minutes his first year

He plays behind Maxey. VJ can get pulled for Simmons sometimes, or can slide to the 3 spot for small ball.

don’t say it like that man

Imagine this team with LeBron

Ya can see from the last trade. I’m saying lucky we did it.
