    If anything, Philly has two of the most important areas locked up in Playmaker and next generation skilled big. Both guys under 25 and not even peaking.

    Tobias Harris is a legit 20 PPG scorer who's decent defensively and can hit the 3 at a good clip.

    Philly can switch, bully, and have decent depth.


    The Celtics have been sitting on assets and really should make the right move. Problem is, stars aren't wanting to go to Boston.

    Why does he need to do anything this season?

    They have a 35 - 19 record, one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the league, a top 5 defense, one of the best closers & ISO scorers in the league (Irving's having a career year) and a deep roster.

    They can't trade for AD right now, so what are you referring to? Should they try to move Brown and Rozier now? Would they field anyone better in return?

    They've won 10 of their last 11 and the remaining schedule looks pretty light, especially the last 10 games of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if they finished with 55-57 wins.

    You don't win titles by storing assets and never striking.

    But enjoy that treadmill.

    I think people think he needs to do something because they aren't going to win a championship this year. They have the assets to make a move that could change that. Not sure what the right move is but if you have enough assets you can get most players for at least the rest of this year and for a team like Boston that could be enough to win it.

    You can think that but 35 wins would put them third in the current WC standings.

    And if we hear they passed on a shot at Giannis your argument would be valid. But as of now there is only one golden opportunity we know of out there and Ainge is working on it.

    There's no move for them to make right now. Why do they have to make a move just to make a move?

    Here is the reality buddy. Kyrie is going to leave. Ainge will not include Tatum in the deal and you will not get Davis. You will continue pinching assets and being

    Nothing to be worried about.

    Celtics already have rotation problem, and can't get enough minutes for their players.
    Getting players from Clippers won't make them a better team and improve to another level.

    I'd rather Ainge keeping his assets and make a smart move than jumping into anything hurry.

You will continue pinching assets and being “players” in the market for stars. As your streak of 1 championship in 30 years continues. Nobody wants to go to a racist organization that treats players like they do.


    Lmao its so true. They've won how many in the last 30 YEARS?

    Such a dumb franchise that thinks they are on top of the world for some strange reason. Hayward is trash tier and you maxed him out. Irving wants to leave. AD specifically stated he doesnt want to go to Boston. Brown is garbage. All value is going DOWN. Trash toilet franchise But hey RMWG says they would be 3rd in the West. Thats good enough for them. The Boston Raptors.

    He's wise enough to know that no team is winning against the Warriors.

    Keep the assets intact and roll your dice next season.

    Last I checked, Boston's best player is in his second season.

    Don't think Ainge is too worried at this moment.
