They two top ten players that just entering their prime
Halford shouldn't even play on the offensive end.. his shot selection is so bad..

Gerald Henderson was traded a couple of months after saving the championship.
Tatum is top 10, Brown isn't. But the real problem with them is that they are very poor playmakers for star players. That's why the Celtics offense looks so so often. If their shot isn't falling, they don't have anyone that can generate organic offense.
Very not true about tatum, and also Brown is solid and keep improving... And you can see that in those games when Tatum start 1 from 12 and Celtics still in the game... If they winning it all this year and getting that championship confident it will be hard to stop them to win couple more as they have two superstars not even starting their prime, and having that helping crew attached with great contracts
As the Feb. 9 trade deadline approached, the Celtics zeroed in on White — “Boston was desperate to find a guy like him,” one Western Conference executive said — but the Spurs, league sources said, had no interest in moving him. White had become beloved in the organization, a key part of its culture. When White held his wedding in Colorado, several members of the Spurs’ front office attended and White thanked his coaches for helping develop him. “Derrick was a guy that everybody in the league wanted,” the Western Conference executive said. “The Celtics were just persistent.” Boston came in heavy, offering Romeo Langford and Josh Richardson, a first-round pick in the 2022 draft and a 2028 first-round pick swap. It was the sort of offer the Spurs couldn’t refuse, but, sources said, the Spurs also wanted to ensure they were sending White to a good situation, to a team that was headed in the right direction.

Who was he playing for when he did this? I don't remember. What were the teams? What round of the playoffs?
hope Spurs go after him when he is a FA again tbh
Tatum has a putrid assist to turnover ratio. Of course the idea is that he will keep improving on that as he becomes older, but still, efficient playmaking isn't something that comes naturally to him. Pair that with Brown, who's even worse on that regard, and I don't see the Celtics becoming a dynasty unless they add a real playmaker or those two improve a lot on that area.
Tatum really hasn't improved his playmaking at all for several years. Some turnovers come from being a questionable ballhandler. Boston is hemmed in by their success, he and Brown are so good in isolation they don't learn to do anything else.
If Boston re-signs Brown for a huge amount, they probably won't be able to afford to keep White in 2025 unless they are either willing to make White the 3rd highest paid player on the team or go past the second apron.
White playing solid D and playing the role!
He's the only Celtic that hasn't shriveled like a raisin.
omg the guy is single handed saving the C's season
DWhite can't win with these cats tbh.
Jaylen Brown is nowhere near a Max Player. Boston is likely going to have to pay him like one, and it’s going to cripple their franchise. Because this dude shrivels up in EVERY big game it seems. He’s also a horrendous defender with a low bball IQ.
Yet Boston fans think they'll supermax him and the team will be great, no problems.
He always stops his dribble, everytime he drives it to the rim! Also Spolestra out coach the C’s coach big time in this game
I'd take that Portland deal of #3 and Simons for Jaylen Brown if I was Boston tbh, supermaxing this dude is gonna kill them.
I'll try Mikal Bridges first, but yeah, I think that ship has sailed. Trading Jaylen Brown is the obvious move for Boston.
Man, feel bad for Derrick. The Game 6 heroics will soon be forgotten.
Boston is so disappointing.
One of the most overrated players in the league.
I'd do the same, except Little would have to be added to make it work financially. Maybe the Celtics would have to add minor future draft capital. I'd guess they go Amen Thompson over Henderson.
Doubt Portland would be interested in that.
White's 15 minutes of fame is over,,,,
