Thanks again for the awesome questions everyone. I’m pushing these out pretty quickly for a couple of reasons. A. I have time this afternoon and B. I wanted to clear the deck for summer league content. So let’s just jump right into it.

Can you help me compare the Isaiah and brown trades? The emotional reactions were similar, but other than Thomas’s injury, were the analytics similar? Brad certainly can be cold, but ultimately, he gambled. He got that from Danny. I yield the floor
Good topic. I would say that they are a little bit the opposite in that JB is more of the Kyrie in this scenario (not making a 1 for 1 comparison, remember that “comparison is the thief of joy!). The Cavs felt like they had to move on from Kyrie and the Celtics sent Isaiah and picks for him. It made basketball sense but not emotional sense. Ultimately both sides lost on that one. Time will tell with this one.

I do worry about the cumulative effect of sending out franchise icons (Pierce, Garnett, Isaiah, Jaylen) in cold hearted moves. As much as we all want to believe that Jayson Tatum will retire a Celtic, there’s at least a little bit of doubt now, and that’s sad.

Should Scheierman start this season at the 3? He looked very solid in a lot of games last year both on offense and defense. He also has a creative streak that I hope we get to see more of this season.
I have never known what to make of Baylor. I set my expectations low early on and in year two he exceeded them, so already he’s a pleasant surprise to me. I’m circling him as a guy that could see an additional leap as a 3rd year guy. On one hand, there are minutes to be had on the wing (George won’t play a full 82 games). On the other hand, there’s a glut of wings that are all competing for minutes. This will be one of the big storylines in training camp to watch. I might actually expand this topic into a “who should start?” discussion post.

Jeff, if we could have world peace, but the trade-off is that the Celtics vs Sixers games this year would not be televised or recorded in anyway, and fans would not be…
