Celtics 2026-2027 Discussion

Robinson was talked about as a possibility and a fit. I’m not that surprised and am glad we got better already. But I think he’s a place holder for a bigger fish, whether it’s this year or next. Let’s hope he won’t be relied upon to play >28 minutes per game beyond this year. He also gives Embiid some troubles. Rebound monster as well.



As for Conley, it was evident we needed a reliable ball handler off the bench when we traded away Simons. It’s why Pritchard had to go back to the bench. I liked him there. Now he may be back with the starters. There’s still plenty of moves Brad will/try to make. This could be only the beginning……or not

Honestly, I like two separate paths for the Celtics

1. Jayson Tatum, surrounded by a bunch of B+ players who are all very good but not all star guys. Get depth with as many above average players as you can along with Tatum.

2. Jayson Tatum plus one superstar. I don’t like this plan as much and feel that it’s somewhat of a failing plan in today’s NBA, but if you can get the complementary play between the two just right and have actual top five guys then that could work too.

I feel like the worst place to be in the NBA is to have both of your max contracts doled out and have issues with either one or both guys really not being championship level or the way they played together not maximizing efficiency.

LeBron waited until one day after Bronny‘s contract was fully guaranteed before leaking that he isn’t coming back.

People say that LeBron deals with a lot of criticism. That’s not really true. He deals with typical fan hate and some of it is legitimate fan criticism. But from the perspective of media criticism there is basically zero. I’ve never seen the media ball wash a guy like LeBron James for over two decades. I rarely see anything negative or critical of him, even though his career is filled with extreme narcissism and a lot of failure for someone that they actually call the goat. I saw a YouTube video, but I don’t remember exactly the clip. The guy pointed out that many people at ESPN and other news outlets actually have like a clear financial stake in LeBron‘s success. More so than other athletes for some reason.

People in the gym community are 110% convinced that the league has allowed him to use HGH or some other steroids for many years given that his body does not look like other athletes and also basically every thing about his physique is a telltale sign of PED usage. They don’t single out any other athlete except LeBron. Interesting.

Well, I don’t want the Lakers to surpass us in championships, I really don’t hate them anymore like I did one week ago. LeBron is probably my least favorite superstar ever. It used to be Aaron Rodgers, but wow I think Rogers is a mega douche bag, I’ve noticed that he just doesn’t even try to hide it. Which is exactly why I hate LeBron. He tries so hard to protect his image, but he’s a jackass.

Between Mitchell Robinson and draft pick Dillon Mitchell, we have two Mitchell's that can't hit a free throw.

Hey, Andre Drummond is a free agent. We can get another big who can't hit a free throw cheap.
