I've always found the whole "it's X player's team" argument to be on the ridiculous side of things.

I thought the whole point of a team was that it's everyone's team and not 1 guys

Kyrie is still the offensive alpha.

so then you disagree

With Nick Wright? Yes, presumably (I didn’t listen to what he said, and took your word for it.)
the whole clip is fairly interesting (I actually have this on in the background when I'm getting ready in the morning and heard it live).  He obviously believes Irving is Boston's best player, but had an interesting take on Tatum.  It is probably worth a listen (it isn't that long).

How have so many people completely forgotten how good Irving is?

I know we as sports fans tend to have short memories for some things, but come on.  This is lunacy.

yeah, sometimes hot takes are just meant to shake things up.  no way is this Tatum's team next year.  It might never be 'his' team, who knows?

He could have said 'for the Celtics, all the starters next year should make big contributions' but I guess the simple truth doesn't sell.

I just hate that guy. All he does is shill for Lebron. I would love to punch him in the face

I have to admit, I didn't even know who he was.  I don't have FS1.

I didnt either..I was thinking it was coach Nick from B-Ball Breakdown who I trust....

I hate all that crap about whose team it is.  Who cares?  They are going to have a lot of scoring options with multiple players who can create their own shot.

Nick Wright is just mad Kyrie left Lebron's team and probably hurt their already-slim chances of winning a title this year too  :laugh:

Although apparently he also thinks we should trade Kyrie in a three team trade to NYK and in it, get back Lebron (like the Ringer article posted).

Him and Cowherd yesterday on a Youtube segment agreed Boston's roster is the most talented out of all the team's for Lebron to join (even over Houston and Philly).

Looks like a 3-way battle. Can either be Kyrie/Hayward's vs Brown/Tatum's vs Horford's team.  8)

At the end of the day, they all have one common goal and that is to win a championship for the Celtics.

P.S. this is Brad Stevens' team. Our very own superstar in coaching.
