Yabusele has a huge impact on Celtics Twitter. I will say no more except that some of the posts and memes are often amusing.
This is true.
Voted need to see Kyrie in the playoffs, which feels very odd because he’s such an astonishing basketball player.
RPM has him at 5 this
regular season for example, and I think we are all expecting an uptick when the lights get brighter. To be clear, I think he's still valuable and I’m not letting him go for nothing, but if this team can’t string together a deep playoff run then I’m open to a sign and trade.
Given Stevens will have the full season to see what’s there and a chance to exploit matchups in a series, I need to see Kyrie get them over the top. To be specific, I'm thinking ECF but I know the east is brutal and could waffle if they lose deep to a team that goes to the finals. If they are still playing listless and inconsistent in the playoffs, then maybe
@lovegtm is right (back from page 1) and even the playoff skill doesn't overcome whatever leadership faults exist. Either way I think it will show quickly and be hard to overlook.
That said, if getting AD is tied to Kyrie then I'm in no matter what. If I were Kyrie, and the story about Rich Paul is true (he damn sure knows either way) then I'm pissed and my agent is pissed. Any new wedge created by Klutch is great.
