For real😂 he’s been knowing how good we were this whole time though, which is FAR more than I can say about almost anyone else in the world of basketball lol

He made a video about the Nuggets how good they were and then they lost to the wolves. He made a video where he compared Edward to MJ and they lose to the Mavs. He is cursed.

I swear I said same thing his ass need to make sure he do the same thing again next year too leave that “I know who is winning the NBA Finals” sh*t in the past.

I missed his yearly prediction video 😭 Who did he say will Win this Year ?

It seems like they learned from that and applied it to the 2017 1st pick to 3rd pick deal. Imagine what deals they could have done in 2016 to trade down for Brown

man you dont get it im really wit it I really get it Im Jeff wittek with a Patek

Not a Celtics fan either but I couldn’t stand Smart. Waaaay too much manipulation of the refs for my taste in his games.

Oh man, that took me right back to the moment I found out he was traded and could not believe what I was reading..

@@David-iv6je I mean, they were old as fuck. People even back then were insane to say that the celtics got fleeced. Celtics moved on from aging stars eating their salary cap and got a bunch of picks in return. It was always a good trade for them

@@PBMdanyaU forgot to mention Celtics winning the 2017 draft that really started everything

Why? Isaiah was traded for Kyrie who left after 2 years for nothing and barely played in the playoffs. Isaiah was a great find but hardly a consequential piece in the building of the current team. Getting him probably helped Tatum and Brown make an earlier run to the ECFs for additional experience but it didn’t build the current asset base

@@duyanhng8430 They probably lose to the Nuggets anyway. The Jays had to hit their primes before they could finally win it, it's just the nature of the NBA. And Brad Stevens put a perfect roster around them this year. The floodgates are now open for them to win more chips by getting over the hump.

Lonzo wasn't a bad pick, he's just terribly unlucky. You can't always adjudicate for players lower in the draft becoming great, 40 people were picked before Nikola Jokic

@@rishirajbose2444 Mitchell I understand, bc he was picked 17th. But we literally picked up Lonzo bc of his dad hyping him up. Like, we could've got De'Arron Foxx or Tatum. If we picked up Tatum, and kept our young core we could have way more success since 2017, (when they were drafted).

@@rishirajbose2444 I would even say everyone clowning Bronny, but I feel like he would even have a better rookie year than Lonzo, honestly. Lonzo was the 2nd pick and barely avg 5 pts, Bronny could at least avg 10 rn.

@@abnerallen2334 The Lakers was not getting Tatum. If there was any interest of Tatum at #2, the Celtics would've kept the #1 pick to draft Tatum. I will say that De'Arron Fox was a miss though. Just know I was high on Zo and he was playing very well alongside Bron until he got hurt. Yall still got a chip though out of it trading for AD

Dude, Lonzo had injuries. I mean seriously, if he hadn't worn Big Baller Brand shoes, he may have been healthy. And healthy Lonzo was nuts. Magic said that Lonzo's name would be hanging from one of those banners... and even though Magic is prone to exaggeration... he said that for a reason. Lonzo is one of the very very very rare talents that could have led a team without scoring. His passing genius and vision is up there with the bests ever. And then, to make up for his lack of scoring, he had elite defense. Lonzo was the right pick. He just got injured. That's all. And now they just recently did a brand-new surgery on him that's never really been done before -- they just replaced his meniscus with a dead guy's meniscus and added in tons of dead guy cartilage. I'm not joking. Given Lonzo's track record, I wouldn't hold my breath, but if somehow this brand-new multi-million dollar surgery works, we may yet see some of the Lonzo-that-could-have been. This is all easy for me to say as a Pistons fan, since I'm on the outside looking in. But I would have made the Lonzo pick in a heartbeat. And knowing what we know now, I'd still make the pick -- I'd just bench him until he wore legit shoes. Ban him from wearing BBB's. Then I'd have my star. And imagine healthy Lonzo with Ingram and Randle. Add in a superstar free agent not named LeBron (LeBron is amazing, but he wanted to win-now). Boom.

Too bad they were terrible in reality.

Tbf they could’ve made the finals if kyrie or Hayward wasn’t injured

Could have been a multi decade dynasty if Haywards leg didnt snap and Kyrie kept his ego in check

Bro exactly. I don't know what jimmy is smoking with this one. No one said the Celtics lost that trade we were all pumped that it actually went through. I think he's just looking for desperate content here after the season

The Nets were one of the favourites after the trade, they already had Brook Lopez & Shaun Livingston alongside Deron Williams. It's a shame they coylsnt stay healthy.

that was the one mistake the front office made. i was so mad that they traded thomas for a guy who didn’t want to be there as much as him

They need to make it right

@@liamrab6it wasn’t a mistake, if you have the opportunity to trade Isaiah Thomas for a 3 years younger and better Kyrie Irving. You do that 101 times out of 100. And people are acting like he got traded to a horrible team, he got traded to the reigning EC champs who routinely beat him and got to play with LeBron. At least Jrue Holiday won a ring for the Bucks, but Milwaukee saw they could get Dame Lillard and shipped Jrue on a first class flight to Portland. Wrong basketball move or right, they’re not some evil actors for trying to upgrade their team.

​@Christian-eq6pq Truth be told, IT was never a championship level first option, and the hip injury he got was the beginning of the end for rather. Rather than overpaying an aging, small point guard with a major injury, they did the smart thing

@@liamrab6Thomas was cooked, it was the right trade. Kyrie just did Kyrie.

Calling it the worst trade is not a 'final gift'. Nor was there any 'true passing of the torch moment', that would mean that KG and Pierce helped Tatum and Brown become NBA players. Can we dial back on the romantisizing 😂

When you happen to be one of the two most historic teams in the nba, 10 years is a long time to wait for a chip. There is also a good and the best way to succeed, we will never know if the Celtics could have won two or three championships in ten years with other picks/moves. No one controls luck, not everything went according to plan but circumstances allowed it to happen. The real success will be if they win another one or two in the next few years. If not, then luck played a role and we can't credit the Celtics for it. I'm not a Celtics fan, but they're a solid team with good chem, playing pluralism and no divas/ego. So if they play their cards right, they could even threepeated.

@@user-zd9vy4nw1e This was well said. And may I add, draft picks are no guarantee that a player will pan out, or them getting injured. All I remember in basketball news about the Celtics were the coaching woes and key star players not planning out.

@HaroonAhmadKhan yep, nothing is certain until it happens, as KG said: anything is possible.

@@user-zd9vy4nw1e that was his gift to the Celtics! Hahahahaha

what?

@@godnmastewhat?

this hurt my brain

Celtics forcing a game 6 against the Knicks after going down 0-3 convinced Nets KG and Pierce weren't done and caused the Knicks to not have a rest advantage against the Pacers in the 2nd round. Costing them a chance at the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Bucks move is the 1 that staggers me. Get Jrue, win a championship. Trade Jrue, lose in the 1st round.

You gotta thank the Portland Trailblazers and Miami Heat for Jrue Holiday. Damien Lillard’s first choice was Miami but the Blazers didn’t like what the Heat were offering in return. So instead Lillard was sent to Milwaukee. The result was Holliday being moved to Portland, who was then traded to Boston.

Id like ot thank your team for causing the ressurection of the Lakers Dynasty that is to come now

Wizards and the spurs too. Kp and Derrick White, bucks and blazers too

As a Bucks fan…. You’re welcome for Jrue. When Portland traded him to the C’s. I said of all freaking places!! Nooooooo!!!!

Yes, only real ones play video games.

Absolutely no one in the media or fanbase thought it was a good deal for the Celtics at the time. People thought those 3 Nets picks were going to be late 1st rounders. Everyone vastly overestimated how much Pierce and Garnett had in the tank.

I can affirm cbhooped's memory, that many astute fans on Celtics blogs recognized that two UNPROTECTED 1st rounders were potentially extremely valuable. KG was also already well-known to be extremely injury prone. The fan comments are difficult to find nowadays, but you can search for old articles from 2013 to confirm that it wasn't generally viewed as "the worst trade in history" for the Celtics at the time. JxmyHighroller is exaggerating for dramatic effect in this video.

actually it was the opposite since they got rid of the core that took them to the playoffs and everybody shitted on danny ainge

Yeah as soon as it became public the picks were unprotected everyone thought the Cs fleeced them. This is a ridiculous video concept

⁠@@Skyberg21 I am a bulls fan so I absolutely hated the Celtics back then and loved it when it became clear that those guys were getting too old and weren’t going to win anything anymore. I remember that being pretty obvious to everyone. Lebron and the Heatles were dominating. D Rose was going to come back from his injury and they were the number one seed before it. The pacers were younger and better than the Celtics. The hawks were younger and better. The knicks were also younger, better, and just knocked the Celtics out of the playoffs before that trade. As a Celtics HATER I remember being furious that Ainge got anything at all for 35 year olds Pierce and Terry, and 37 year old Garnett. 37!!! A VERY old core on a barely .500 team.

Care to elaborate ?
