This isn't about the people arguing about whether he should come off the bench or start in games, that's a legitimate argument.
But some people here who are like "hey, we played a great game against the trashy Magic last night without IT, I wonder how much IT is worth on the trade market, we should trade him for value at his peak"...
Like seriously? Dude is still our best scorer and like it or not, the only reason the C's won two games in the Hawks series last season is because of IT, because everyone else was shooting bricks. Defense wins championships, but does it matter much when the team can't hit any shots? Turner was like our second best scorer because he could create his own shot.. and now he's gone too. The top scorers right now are IT, Bradley and Horford.
And does IT get you Westbrook? Lilliard? No he doesn't. And this team doesn't need like 3 more draft picks (unless you people love the idea of continuing a rebuild for the future). What can he get you? Oh just some expiring deals like Millsap (not worth it).
What picture does it paint to others that we trade probably the most passionate "Celtics Pride" guy on our team and our best recruiter on our team... and without him, Horford and Crowder aren't even here. And also, don't tell me "oh without IT.. we could have tanked and got Towns or Russell in 2014 Draft". No we wouldn't.
