We can be better ... with and w/o trades.

I believe we have the second best team in the East without making any moves Agree, they are 2nd best without any moves. Does that mean you're already conceding the Celts losing in the east finals again? Why settle for 2nd best when Celts can be the best if a move is made.

We can be better ... with and w/o trades. Definitely with a trade. If Ainge is really stubborn and he wants to keep Hayward, a move like getting Bertans would still be an upgrade.

Use the assets accumulated over the years.
What's the use of the draft picks if Ainge can't cash in.
Just take the case of the 2019 Kings pick, Celts failed to trade the pick and it ended up becoming Langford.
Will Langford pan out?
We'll never know until 3-4 seasons.
But right now Langford can't help in the chase for Banner 18.

Even a move like trading a pick and Poirier for Noel or Poeltl would help the Celts in the playoffs.

I did not recognize that Celtics team last night. It was a great win. I honestly believe that might have been the best game played by this team this season.
I hope we can keep it up.
I cannot understand how fluid we appear to be, especially offensively, when we have fewer true offensive options on the floor. It seems that we work the ball more when fewer options are on the court.
We made 39 baskets and 24 of those were assisted. I hope we can keep that up, especially against the likes of PHI and MIL.

I believe the Celtics will stand pat this trade deadline but I would be okay if we executed a Love for Hayward trade. I think Tatum and Brown's games will TAKE OFF if Hayward is traded.

If Rwill were available for 15 or 20, we would be ok to stand pat.

I have mixed feelings about that trade. Right now he's the only player besides smart with elite level court vision and game awareness - I guess the only other playmaker is what I'm trying to say.
I realize Love brings some of that, but playmaking out of the post really doesn't happen much anymore. Too bad, Meadowlark Lemon was my favorite basketball player to watch ever.

Hayward is playing really well right now. I do like Love, other than he's hurt all the time. Not sure he gets us over the top, though. Also would like to amend my comment from yesterday to include IND as a team that scares me in the East.

I always felt they were very similar. I believe that Hayrd, when and if he gets completely cured from his foot injury, is quicker and can bring the ball down as a QB and probably a better 3 pt shooter. Love seems to be injured a lot. If we are not going to get a big man like Drummond in the post, then Love, at 6'10", although not a center, would probably get us 5 more rebs a game.

I believe they would give us 50 pts between them as per the Curry/Thompson duo. Also, they'd give us more rebs than the GS pair.

I copy and paste a post I made about a week ago. But others were able to post uTube videos so my issue must be different but if some kind of a correction needs be made for other posters, then maybe I'll be a able to post mine. "Does anybody use a Mac or iPhone to download Utube videos. Mine will not download on either. Insert the URL(highlighted and blue color) & link to insert and create post says video pending. On my iPhone after I put in dialogue I do not see any link/icon etc with video...I did see it on Mac but as I said above only says video pending."

Kevin Love has pros and cons.
The pros is he starts alongside Theis and the Celts will have a better small ball lineup with Theis, Love, Tatum, Brown, and Kemba.
A crunch time lineup of Love, Tatum, Brown, Smart, and Kemba would be great.
The cons is Love is not a rim protector.
Basically Love will be the true PF the Celts are looking for.
Not sure if it happens, but after 46 games, it's very clear Ainge needs to make a trade. If not for a big then a shooter like Bertans.

I don't think Ainge would trade Hayward to Cleveland or Detroit!! If it's a three team trade with Hayward going to a play off team maybe!

If cleveland were to deal for hayward, they would try to flip him as well. I don't see how it improves their position any.

Are we all misspelling Hayrd on purpose, or is it an accident?
OOH, a glitch!! I know I spelled it H A Y W A R D.......
