Curtis is not giving the #Celtics a pass, if they make a big change this offseason. Would you?
Could Jaylen Brown actually be moved?
Transcript
00:00There is not a Celtics fan in the sound of my voice that should give the organization a pass
00:05for making moves to the roster to get under an apron to save money.
00:10And believe me, it is about saving money.
00:15The bill is $500 million as currently constituted for the roster alone next year.
00:19To have nothing with the rent, to have nothing with the expenses of running an operation,
00:23$500 million to keep what they're doing now on the roster next season.
00:28They can afford it. They can do it.
00:31Do not allow those that cover the team to cushion the blow.
00:35Do not allow any talk of Jalen Brown being traded.
00:38And believe me, the only reason they have prepared you for this,
00:42first on the Greg Hill Show at Wachusett, when Wick made the comments to us about the second apron,
00:47and then the day the deal was finalized when you had Shams on the Pat McAfee show
00:51saying the league is bracing for change.
00:54That's not about holiday. That's not about Porzingis.
00:58There would be no need to prime the pump in that way.
01:02This is all about the two Jays, and there is not a reason in the world
01:06that you should allow them off the hook if they do indeed decide to trade Jalen Brown
01:11to get under the second apron.
01:13Seems like that's the direction they're going in because of all the reports
01:16and, like, cushioning the blow for us.
01:19So that's why it's super important that they win a title this year.
01:21Well, I mean, I feel like they will win it this year,
01:25and we were talking about this on Friday.
01:29If you win it this year, you are staring at a dynasty,
01:33and it's such a rare opportunity to have a group of players who seem to get along.
01:42The chemistry is great.
01:43Like, that last episode of Celtic City,
01:47they spend a lot of time on Rondo,
01:52and Rondo coming in and being really important,
01:55and then suddenly wanting it to be all about him.
01:58Like, he wanted to be the face of the franchise,
02:00and he wanted to decide that he wasn't going to give the ball to Ray Allen
02:05or, you know, whatever.
02:07Like, that opportunity,
02:09Paul Pierce is talking about how he and Doc were talking,
02:12and he said, how many do you think we can win?
02:16Right.
02:16And Doc was like, like, legit, I think we can win three.
