Did the Celtics Just Blow Up Their Team?
we had the Drew Holiday trade last night and then Chris Porzingis sent to Atlanta today the 2024 Celtics funeral is here they lpped off miraculously $28 million in two trades they got under the second apron which doesn’t just save them almost 200 million in luxury tax but also has all these other positive roster benefits i’m not sure the Celtics are going to be that bad next year in this weird Eastern Conference holiday in the in the playoffs and in the Knicks series I thought looked pretty rough you flip him into Simons who fills this scoring void that they clearly need with Tatum you have Pritchard and Simons out there those are like two of the better heat check guards of the league you have Jaylen who’s still a top 20 guy you might have rebounding you’re going to have a good coach you have this philosophy of just gunning up threes they’re going to be way worse defensively porzingis played half the year last year and then was a you know a corpse in the playoffs because he wasn’t healthy the Tatum piece is the piece that’s the disaster but if you talk about the rest of it like they might be all right they might be an overachiever i don’t know i’m prepared for

Bro
What about defense. You now have 2 guards that can be exposed on defense
We’re gonna win another title anyway that fluke injury run title was only because of every East team best player being hurt .. Tatum is a role player
Suddenly Anfernee Simons is the second coming of Larry Bird lol.
Damn. Turned on jrue so fast.
This just in, Joe Mazzulla is a good coach.
Horford should have been released
Copiums a helluva drug
Anfernee Simons looks like if you photoshopped a 4 year old’s face onto a basketball player’s body.
Bill sounds like a Trump supporter touting the “big, beautiful bill” by insisting that losing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security “won’t be too bad.”
All the Atlanta talk and they didn't mention Dyson Daniels….
good coach? He let his team shoot 70 3s a game lol. Fire cosch – trade brown
Worst brand of basketball in the NBA. Chucking 3s is lame.
“They might have rebounding” is optimistic
😂😂😂😂😂😂 2 of the better “heat check guards in the League” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i will miss his brand new hairplugs
Bill simmons on his delusional best here
“You’re gonna have a good coach” 😂
Trust in Brad. I like the wings/guards situation. Solidify the forward line situation. Center and power forward needs only partially met by re-signing our free agents Horford (assuming he still wants to play) and Kornet. Need immediate minutes eater at power forward. Nothing flashy. PJ Washington kind of guy.
He says “they good coaching” then immediately states how they chunk 3s. That awful offensive strategy is a direct cause of bad coaching.
Jaylen brown top 20? Hmmm
if Bill was this much of a homer for ESPN they would have never even considered letting him go
You might have rebounding threw me off… I dont know man lol
Next season will be a question mark, but I see them building a better team in a few years.
Hi , Bill . How about –
Jaylen for #2 , Castle #14, 2027 via Atl . Then white for pels #. 7 this year and and 2027 swap with bucks and 2029 Pels own
Who the fuck is Tingus Pingus?
soon white to the warriors
As soon as Bill said, “ A Good Coach “, I was done.
Trade Payton Pritchard; he is No T.J. McConnell.
saw gerrera gas mask levels of copium 😂
Celtics are play in bound this year. They definitely have talent still and are a well managed organization.
Hilarious cope
Delusional… mazzula isn’t a good coach got lucky his chip year and never adjusts
As long as they have Tatum and Brown, they’ll be contenders. Next year will be a bad year, but they could realistically win the 2027 title.
Going into a season with low-to-no expectations for the first time in nearly a decade
FOH WHO ARE THEY PLAYING AT CENTER
Move Brown too
Worst take I've seen Bill take in a while.
lol Bill trying to convince himself
Did the Knicks playoff victory cause the dismantling of the Celtics???
Harsh diss on Holiday.
Didn't he have some injuries?
Or is he simply on the decline
I can't wait for Bill's mid season assessment on Anfernee. The defense will make his eyes bleed.
Shoulda kept holliday. He said at end defense
Wish Peyton would of came home to Oregon
Bill will realize next year Brown is NOT a top 20 guy…
Don’t care
The kind of money that they are making they should make every shot
Of course u dont think they gonna be bad…but we're here to let u know, they will be 🗑
It used to be called a fire sale, but Brad Stevens has Teflon with the media .
U really think joe is a good coach?
