Can't dribble with his left more than twice without losing the ball. Great contract, C's
16 3 ReplyUtterly absurd contract
14 3 ReplyOverpay, ofc, but then again, the real question here is - what other options did the Celtics have ? Which trade was actually doable, for a package of equal value in return ?
10 0 ReplyNone, but that's not going to stop the incoming wave of kneejerky hot takes
6 0 ReplyNot only will the Celtics not win a game this season, but they will cease to exist as a franchise.

I just do not see his game elevating enough to justify this. He has some holes to shore up.
10 0 ReplyNot sure it'll justify the salary, but he's been consistently improving every year since he got to the league. Yes, everyone sees the gaps, but even with them he is a 2nd team all nba and has yet to reach his peak (imho). It's a massive contract but the front office believes in him, and that's something to keep in mind.
4 0 ReplyThe Celtics will consistently get beat in the playoffs going forward by doubling Tatum and leaving Brown open.
That's not the behavior of a super max player

Damn that's a lot of money.
7 0 ReplyIt was always going to be a super max.
You don't have a path to get better by not paying him.
5 0 ReplyQuite the massive salary for Jaylen.
3 0 ReplyY’all have lost your minds, he was 2nd team all-NBA and a consensus top-25 player in the NBA and he’s gotten better every season.
