Romeo was mostly just a contract at that point. Somebody else would've filled that from the bench. It's not like he had value, SA wanted the pick and pick swap.
I think what’s fascinating about the KG/Paul Pierce trade was that I think it’s the trade that opened up everyones eyes to how VALUABLE unprotected first round picks were, and just draft picks in general
@@jojijoestar7233still not dead. He might be the smartest man in the league which is why he plays the roles he does in the league. He’s just turned into an incredible player
That OG bubble 3 to go 1-2 instead of 0-3 is why I think the Celtics lost to the heat. That series was over in 4 or 5 if OG misses that shot, instead it's a grind fest 7 game series and the heat got more time off before the series than the Celtics. It was huge. I seriously think that it's OG misses that, the Celtics go to the finals and beat LA because the Lakers with LeBron have not been good vs the Celtics at all since he got there. Who knows how the team would look by 2024 is that happened though, Stevens might still be the coach and some crappy GM came in and we're screwed for the next decade. Luckily it all worked out and we have the goat GM hopefully for another 25 years.
The front office did it the right way. They got rid of KG and Pierce when they still had trade value and didn’t wait until they was totally washed. They were realistic with what they had and used it to get better. It was a rebuild done right.
Be careful. Probably gonna have to face them in the playoffs. Last time they almost won up 3-2. You can't tell me you weren't a bit concerned going into game 6 cuz everybody was afraid that Philly was no longer the Celtics toy in the playoffs.
Danny ainge deserves more credit for this championship than any Celtics team he played on no doubt. He had to go through like 5 different PGs but finally found the right fit
Yeah, it's like a weird tweener kind of years while, everything before and after those years are very distinct which makes that 2-year stretch all the more odd
The only thing I can remember from then is the Spurs winning and my dad being ecstatic because they had good ball movement. And that was the only thing that happened.
When Kyrie did his grandstanding with 2 minutes left dapping and hugging everyone he completely walked by Big Al. Which as a grateful blessed Celtics fan I appreciate Al Horford even more cause I trust his judgement of character - and if Al Horford doesn't like you than you must be a jack ass ! #18 !!!!
I really love these videos! I kindly request more retrospective videos because those are great to watch, rewatch and play in the background while doing other things.
It's crazy how badly that Pierce Garnett trade blew up for the Celtics. Not only do you fail to even really contend, you also give the Celtics two all stars that they dominately win a championship with. That's rough
Moved to PDX from New England about 13 years ago. Im a big Blazers fan as well, but loving the celtics run right now. Someday I hope we get a Blazers Celtics finals. Great video man!
The amount of talent we had in Boston in the last 7 years is insane the one I wish got to stay more than anybody is IT4.. Isaiah Thomas gave his all to the game
@@8Kobe24Steph30 There is no reason to bring up that man in the conversation in the first place. The fact that we are still glorifying a self-admitted rappist bother me quite a bit, is that wrong ?

@@Herasolostheverselet’s be real, it’s both. The Dame trade as of now, is horrible in the lose of overall team defense, it 100% cost Adrian Griffin a job, and it may be the reason Giannis never makes it back to the Finals given his inability of late to stay healthy
First video I watched from you guys! Would’ve loved to see a more detailed and in depth view, glossed over some important details. None the less cool vid! 💯
The fact is since that trade that was made to make the nets championship contenders they have never even gotten ro the conference finals while the celtics got there 6 times
It was logical for Tatum falling to 3, Fultz was seen as the logical number one pick, Lonzo was the LA hometown kid so that’s logical the Lakers wanted Lonzo who also had really special talent but both got wasted due to injuries
The Lakers also bought in a lot to the sales tactics of Lavar. He basically successfully pitched Lonzo to LA. I don’t know if they would’ve took him without Lavar
@@ErnieBert-eg8kd The Mavs beat the Thunder and Wolves, it was reasonable to assume they had a chance. People are pretending in hindsight that the Mavs had zero chance.
@@One.Zero.One101 they really didn’t. The only ones who didn’t see it were Western conference meat riders who bought into the media propaganda that the west was some all powerful juggernaut that no eastern team could beat. Reality is no one team in the west was good enough to pull ahead of the pack to be the dominant team in the conference. I mean the nuggets are great but aside from that many west teams are not balanced teams or they have a roster of washed up stars who were great 5-10 years ago. In hindsight the mavs had zero chance as did any other western team with the exception of possibly Denver.
It all depends if Porziņģis comes back hungry and healthy this next season, given he was was mostly irrelevant in these playoffs. You just know Tatum, Brown & Holiday will come back ready, Horford should be fine, White seems like a player who'll keep his edge. If everyone stays healthy they'll win the title in 2025 too.
The C's at the moment are kind if 04 Pistons-esque to me. There best players aren't MVP caliber at the moment maybe that will change... Tatum is only 26. They rely on all their players contributing and playing elite in their roles. Definitely cool if they can be a dynasty with that type of team, but that is a lot of moving pieces to rely on.
I don’t think the Sixers got Horford to defend Giannis. I think the Sixers got Horford so that he wouldn’t stop Embiid. Horford in his younger days was an Embiid stopper.
Dont forget 76ers,if they didnt gave a max contract to tobias and drafted brown and tatum instead of ben and fultz they would have a scary team with embiid,maxey,brown,tatum and butler
Ben Simmons was drafted in 2016. Brown was drafted the next year And at the time Tatum was not seen as great of a player as he was now Even in good drafts you can definitely get it wrong. It's like a game of Dice really
@@ikedatike2533 brown was drafted in 2016 but i agree that in college fultz was better than tatum but 76ers were doubting in drafting him so the best strategy by ainge was talking about fultz in the media like he was mj 76ers thought celtics would draft fultz so they had to take an advantage
Wish you guys talked more about how they absolutely shafted Isiah Thomas in 2017. He injured his hip, they force him to play in the ECF where he re-injures it. He go and recruits Hayward for them. And then right when he was supposed to get paid when the season starts, they ship him off for Kyrie who had no loyalty towards them, and even worse, they hid IT’s injury history bad enough the Cavs had to pay for it. They’ve always been a good team but the Celtics deserved to wait this long for a ring and Danny Ainge had to go bc of their maltreatment to the guy who made them a quality team again.
Just some constructive criticism from a happy subscriber. I've seen this same topic done dozens of times. It's waaay overdone. I'd prefer something more unique.
Celtics are pretty much the opposite of Lakers. Celtics were patient with allowing their young stars to develop for a potential dynasty run, Lakers traded all their young stars and picks. Once Lebron retires, Lakers are stuck with an injury prone AD, no all star talent and barely any draft picks
Nah Boston wanted Kyrie back before the playoffs started, but his stinkers and response to the stinky games made people realize he was already gone and did not care about the team
Dude Belichick was traded to the patriots. The greatest coach on the greatest team the league has ever seen. Lol. It’s totally common and just happened to Gruden after bill beat him in the snow bowl game/tuck rule game.
Lonzo got drafted bc the Lakers saw tickets sales.....he was obviously not the best un that draft buth they wanted to replace Russell for some odd reason like they we're already built to contend and they weren't
Personally.. I’d be scared to make a video about the Celtics after the countless embarrassingly awful takes you guys put out about them year after year. Pathetic
You forgot to mention how your smooth brain of a GM made that jrue trade just to give the middle finger to the heat so congrats you caused the next 5 month of cringe from JT and JB
All because of the KG and Paul Pierce trade, insane butterfly effect
It's more like the Guild Navigator front office seeing the future
Thank you Billy king
That's the blueprint. Don't wait around for your stars to get old....
And it's a wings league now
So basically they got them another one 😮😂
Sponsored by Billy King and the Brooklyn Nets
Jaylen Brown went from dribbling the basketball off his foot in 2023 to winning the finals MVP in 2024, what a difference a year makes.
Mmmmhmm. Gives inspirational vibes
In the words of UrinatingTree, the Celtics should build a statue of Billy King. Billy King is now a wanted man in Pennsylvania and New York.
Hahaha, thanks for reminding me of that joke! It finally came true!
Not our fault the Nets cant run an organization...not a Billy King issue
Honestly, this entire run was fraught with a decade of heartbreaks and painful endings. This team deserved the win.
i would argue that drafting langford was important because he was apart of the trade to get Derrick White

At a certain point when you're falling, it's just better to accept it and find the best way to fall rather than continue to fight the fall.
The process worked great

Thought the same thing lol
Danny ainge deserves more credit for this championship than any Celtics team he played on no doubt. He had to go through like 5 different PGs but finally found the right fit
He didn't get Jrue or White so all those PG didn't bring a ring. Marcus deserves one though.

I think they bring him back again in the near future even if just as a depth piece
He deserves a ring.
