Dude, what the hell happened to my Celtics team from last year? We have only 4 guys left on the roster that played last season. Horford, Smart, Brown and Rozier. This is crazy turnover for a team that finished 1st in the conference and made it to the conference finals
Now am I complaining? HELL NO. Kyrie Irving is a Celtic now? Are you kidding me? This is awesome. Yeah, they gave up a lot to get him, but that's what it takes to get a 25 year old top 5 talent. I loved Thomas, but he's not Kyrie. Thomas is also 3 years older, a lot smaller, injury prone and looking at either walking a year or two, or demanding a contract so big that there would be no more improving the roster afterwards. So losing him, Crowder and that Brooklyn pick for Kyrie fricken Irving? Yes please. That Brooklyn pick could turn out to be a great player. It could be a #1 pick again. Or it could be the 3rd pick or the 6th pick. It's a random ass lottery after all. And what are the chances the guy you get is going to be as good as Irving is? He's already what teams hope a pick like that could ever be. And he's 25. Hell the player that pick yields may never even turn out to be as good as the guy the Celtics drafter this year, Tatum. Who by the way was someone everyone thought was going to have to be part of the this trade, and he wasn't.
So yeah, I'm over the moon happy right now. First Gordon fricken Hayward. Now Kyrie effin Irving? Fuck yes Danny Ainge. Fuck yes, mate!
P.S. Another team I'm interested in is the Timberwolves. Not that I think they could get passed the Warriors, I mean who could right now, but adding Jimmy Butler to a team with Wiggins and Townes? They're probably a playoff team for sure. Which is just another team, along with Golden State, San Antonio, Houston, OKC, New Orleans and Phoenix that will keep the Lakers down and out, despite what that moron Lavarr Ball keeps spewing out. And hey if the Lakers suck again and end up high in the next lottery, guess who has their 1st round pick? Yup.......Boston
