When did age become a thing for certain players and not a generality?

Shouldn’t productivity be a more factor?

Why the rush to jettison talent when still productive.

Just say your opinion without the age filter. Jokic and Giannis are 31
Steph and Butler are upper 30s

With the salary cap and aprons why do teams continue to pay what a player is eligible for. Lot of 35+ contracts for complimentary and productive super role players. Bidding against self. And if they haven’t won makes even less sense

See who can compliment your projected core
Not all will hit
If you can find at least three you are successful
Stay true to tenets
Need to play fast without turnovers
REBOUND

Mitchell Irvin calling Toronto vs Boston happens way too much
97 is off to a great start.

It’s not Celtics fault if opposing team is unable to play their main guys.
Play to your tenets and strive for improvement

Test environment
See who can shoot them
See what rotations do or don’t work
Dealing with results don’t matter

Can’t wait for season to begin so we can leave the hopeful comp portion of the program. Example player X is like KD when there is an actual KD who has put up actual stats and accomplishments versus the hopeful nature of player X “someday”

Derrick had 2 deflections, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 10 shot contests. He was a +22. First step in process to develop cohesion, chemistry, and adhering to the Celtic tenets for the year
