after we left here yesterday you know i'm following all this free agency and the trades and

everything that are going on that is going on by the way the postid celtics are i i guess just dismantling

the whole team yeah i mean a lot of people thought it would happen but maybe not this drastically

or dramatically but yes well new owners and uh expected balloon payments and balloon payments all

all sorts of crazy contracts.

So I'm not saying that they're going to be terrible because I think Brad Stevens knows what he's doing.

And I think he's being told, and I think he's being told probably by the new ownership that we got to get this under control,

especially with Jason Tata, most likely

missing the entire season. So it seems like, at least it feels like right now, as we sit here,

that the Boston Celtics, you know, are essentially are punting on this season, upcoming season.

Yeah.

That's what it feels like that way to me. Now, there's certain teams like the Dallas Mavericks, they go after DeAngelo Russell.

They know that they're not going to have Kyrie Irving.

So they make a smart move by bringing an equality player.

He's certainly not, you know, Kyrie Irving, but a smart player nonetheless.

And he can handle that position.

And, you know, who knows what's going to happen

with cooper flag down there and and what they're trying to rebuild into but what i think about

what the nicks are doing and about what you said yesterday morning making us realize what rich paul

was saying after uh lebron opted into his $52.6 million contract.

And once he opts in, that means that that told me that Rich Paul didn't have anything else for LeBron.

There wasn't anybody out there clamoring for him.
