Is there a CHANCE...? Could the Celtics pick up the phone??
Would LeBron ever consider coming to Boston? Would you want LeBron James in a Celtics uniform? If Jaylen Brown stays- a JT/JB/LBJ trio could get LeBron one last ring
Do you believe the Celtics are treating Jaylen Brown unfairly? Bad look?

00:00lebron james he's a free agent even though it appears brawny is staying in la which is hilarious
00:07this is causing some sort of family drama i read well have you have you have you read into that
00:13at
00:13all that that some feel like he left brawny behind no i i thought it was he got brawny a
00:19deal well
00:20that's what most would think however uh brawny i don't know maybe brawny wants to always be around
00:26daddy i have i think it's a good thing because at least now he can you know kind of you
00:32know
00:32spread himself away from his dad you know because if he went to golden state or he went to miami
00:38wouldn't it be like oh they grow up curtis there goes there goes lebron taking his kid with him
00:44does anybody think he's actually going to be on the lakers um he'll be within the organization
00:52yeah he thinks he's got some real skill no i don't i never said his skill is his skill is
00:59his
00:59last name i mean of course let's be honest yeah but i've always got curtis i've always said that
01:03from junction we'll never debate it yeah he's a nepo baby what's your lead oh so lebron instructed
01:09his agent to tap into every team in the nba to gauge interest i would love if the celtics picked
01:17up the
01:18phone and said we have the full non-tax taxpayer mid-level exception we can offer you we got i
01:24think
01:24they have a 22 million in first apron space so they could be in it i just don't think lebron's
01:31going
01:31to come here uh even though he's 41 he had 21 about 21 points uh seven assists over six rebounds
01:40per game last year he played 60 games it's not terrible um i just think he's probably going to end
01:45up going to golden state which i think is a horrible choice for him yeah or the heat now that's
01:53a good
01:53choice because that sounds to me like the destination those two teams have the same exception that you
02:00have so they're basically in the same financial position to offer him what you are right the only
02:05reason why he'd come to boston would be if he looks at it jt and jb are both staying here
02:11and he's like
02:12that's going to be my last championship right well i i would i would say this you probably
02:19and this goes back to brad stevens you fumbled the bag so big because i ultimately think lebron
02:27and i still think he's a good player and he will add to a team i think the heat is
02:32his best chance at
02:33winning a championship to play alongside yannis and bam out of bayou yep if you would have got yannis
02:40i think you would have had a real shot of then maybe getting lebron because lebron would look
02:45okay where i think he's going to look at it is where's my best chance to win a championship yeah
02:51well he'd also probably love to live in miami like finish up and just go right into retirement with
02:57with all the retired people in florida like but i think you know for him his family is going to
03:02be
03:03in la because obviously the son's still going to be there so his wife's probably still going to be
03:08out there the other kid is in arizona i know they got the little daughter so he'll probably be just
03:14basically commuting right so whether he's in miami or he's or if he was in boston i just look at
03:20it
03:20from a celtics fan's perspective by not getting yannis was an absolute uh uh domino effect that
03:27puts you behind the eight ball because if he does go to miami now you have to deal with
03:33the new york knicks and now you're probably as a celtics fan you're gonna have to deal with the
03:38miami heat yeah yeah all right so mego wants lebron james on the celtics yeah if you can get him
03:44for
03:44that why not i know mego brought up during her lead this morning that she wants the celtics to go
03:49after lebron james but you said that lebron james would probably uh be interested if uh both of the jays
03:57are here only is what you are suggesting i think so because i think he would be looking at a
04:02he'd be
04:03looking at boston as like a almost ready set championship team brown ain't coming here especially
04:09if both of the jays well i know i know he jalen jalen and stuff about brawny but if you're
04:15if you're
04:16if you're putting aside like hey we're gonna go win a championship like it's my last championship
04:21you think lebron's gonna do that after jalen brown was like yo his kid's trash he's not putting
04:27that aside like lebron he left he left his child in with the lakers yeah after he got him paid
04:32it's a smart move by him what if maybe he left him there so he could go he would have
04:37came here
04:38if brad didn't fumble the bag majorly and miss out on yannis then he would have been like oh to
04:46play
04:46with yannis and tatum would be perfect i think for lebron james the perfect landing
04:51spot for him is down there in miami to play alongside bam and yannis because he would fit
04:56perfectly in there going to golden state yeah that team's old they got guys coming off an injury
05:02then you're in the west he can come to the east but because brad miko harrison this whole thing
05:09now you're sitting here or we're sitting here as celtics fans we don't i don't know what direction
05:15i'm going in like i'm feel like i'm torn every day like all right they're not going to trade jalen
05:20but then they are going to trade him but then they're not going to trade what do you want them
05:24to do wiki i want them to keep jalen brown for a year and say we're going to build around
05:29them
05:30and guess what next time at this year we're going to try to trade him for the next disgruntled
05:35superstar that might want out of their wherever they're playing that'll work oh no no i'm not
05:42saying it's going to work but hey we're going to have to put our differences aside for one season
05:48because we're not just going to send you anywhere jalen and get back a bag of balls but he doesn't
05:55want to be here anymore he doesn't you're on the contract he feels like the city has the entire city
06:01has disrespected him so do you feel like this honestly before last season even started do you felt
06:08like he felt like everybody disrespected him the entire city the the celtics and everything no
06:14oh you don't no i don't oh see i think he was bothered by you know the booing on draft
06:19night
06:19i think he was bothered by the kevin durant stuff but that was years ago and i feel like he
06:26had moved
06:27moved past it no see i think he'd been i think he's always always had that chip on his shoulder
06:32always felt like that right i think that's just who he is right and so my point is like i
06:37don't think
06:37he wouldn't play to the best of his abilities if you kept him for this season your best chance of
06:44making a legitimate run at winning a championship is to keep the two jays together build around them
06:50for one season and then you reevaluate what the landscape who the hell knows maybe the joker wants
06:56out of denver next year and you're able to be like all right you know we're gonna package you know
07:01jalen and maybe if you you're smart this time you throw hugo and shireman in why would his value
07:07go up i think because he's still gonna be a great player no i'm saying go up i think the
07:13only thing
07:13you could hope for is that the landscape looks a little different in terms of what his annual salary
07:18is compared to what other guys are getting the only way it goes up is if tatum can't play but
07:23it
07:24doesn't go down is the point that i'm how do you know if it's at its peak it's only gonna
07:28do one
07:28no no because i think when you look at jalen brown like this is what jalen brown has been
07:33consistently like when you think of he's gonna be the robin if he's here he's right here in the
07:39world but even i heard terp say yesterday when he was on with adam jones that when it comes to
07:47the celtics believing that they can't compete or whatever however windhorse described it uh
07:55they need to make a move competitively but with jalen brown that terp said it's not that crazy if
08:02you look at a couple epic collapses that the team has had with jalen brown and with jason tatum and
08:10that that you really need to be honest with yourself and say that they've had a couple absolute choke
08:16jobs recently when it comes to the playoffs oh no and i i completely agree with that so i don't
08:21think
08:21it's unlikely that that maybe brad stevens bilchism looks at it and says we just it's not happening
08:28with these two and we need to we need to offload one of them but do you think the choke
08:34job is more
08:35about them two or more about kind of what was put around them the last well who gets the credit
08:42if
08:42they win the last season go go ahead i'm gonna i'm gonna tell you that's the credit the superstars get
08:47get it so why don't they get the credit well they don't get the blame when they lose no they
08:49do get the
08:50blame right so that's what he's asking right but i i don't think they get all of the blame right
08:54so
08:54when you look at the loss to uh the new york knicks what that two seasons ago that was a
09:03team with
09:04tatum brown poor zingas al horford drew holliday like you had everything around that team choked
09:12and then jalen blows out as achilles but you still choked oh excuse me jason blows out as achilles
09:17but you still choked anyways right that team was choking and they ultimately ended up choking off
09:24that new york series this season when you look at it it was more about what was around those guys
09:32when you're talking about you're up 13 points in the fourth quarter up three games to one against
09:36the six right right the series no you did lose the series why and you choked that series away
09:41because i think your superstar didn't obviously play to the missed a couple shots at the end of that
09:47game seven um but then p pritch missed the shot i think the bigger issue is that sometimes this team
09:54gets themselves into situations where they're in elimination games that they shouldn't be in
09:59oh they they have had these series that should not go to game seven play with your food they're
10:04definitely the more talented team and there's something about like either not being able to make the
10:09adjustment when the other team responds within the series or even within the game right and like
10:14recognize who you are what your role is out there and that's that's something that is not dependent on
10:21the coach we saw with email doka too we saw it with brad at times like that's just a thing
10:27that they have
10:27to figure out almost like guys guys buying into their roles no it's you don't have a killer mentality
10:33the guy that is the leader who says he still texts kobe bryant after death is not the mamba you're
10:40up
10:4028 you you get outscored in the fourth quarter of a closeout game at the garden i don't buy that
10:45after
10:46game six in 2022 28 so you can pick one game against the bucks which game are you talking about
10:52like you knew exactly the game i was talking about so you can't say that he also scored like 50
10:57in a
10:58game seven against philip somebody completely closes out different series and shuts down another team
11:03you can't say he doesn't just because he doesn't extend to the series he doesn't like clap back and
11:08right talk on social media and stuff that or shout at other guys on the court and he doesn't like
11:13he
11:13doesn't have the kobe bryant like he always looks like he you know he's got to take a bad deuce
11:17you
11:17scored 11 points in the fourth quarter of which game you're talking five at home a closeout game
11:22against who we talking about which game the sixers this year oh this year's he didn't tatum wasn't
11:27playing yes he was game five game seven he wasn't game seven so what are we talking game five game
11:33seven which one we're talking about i just said game five you had a closeout game 28 to 11 you
11:38get
11:38outscored at home yeah you blew that one right who blew it the team well you mentioned one shot by
11:43pritchard no but that was game seven i'm talking about right i'm saying that they should have never
11:47gotten to game seven but they did they did we're talking about okay because they blew it and they got
11:52to game seven we're talking about game seven that's the closeout game that is the game that you had
11:57an opportunity to win that you choked away and blew this year real quick do you believe the two of
12:03them the two jays have underachieved here in 10 years i don't think they underachieved i think what
12:09they've done is you gotta because you gotta think they've made two championships they won one i think
12:15there were a couple playoffs where they choked it away why why do you think that's underachieving
12:22so you can you say it's underachieving though when they accomplished the one thing you set out
12:26to accomplish when you win a title right yes and they've been to another people want them to win
12:30more titles i mean yeah i mean it's not the red sox and patriots get right constantly i mean they're
12:3527 years old they're like you know they're one of the primes of their career an underachievement is
12:40what the paul pair celtics did or the bruins did for this long long period the question is whether
12:46you're at a point where are you risking like looking back on it in the future and saying like uh
12:51they they underachieved during some of those years it's 10 years one title right but you got on
12:58the first three or four years they were still what they were like 18 19 years old okay what i
13:03mean
13:03okay that like that plays a factor into it if drake may doesn't win a championship in six years nobody's
13:09going to say he was 21 or 22 no but if he wins a championship and then loses in another
13:14super bowl i
13:14don't think come on people will say the first time that drake went to the super bowl he was so
13:18young
13:18and it was a brand new coach and blah blah blah he was hurt right like it'll be right and
13:24if he wins a
13:24super bowl and gets to another one and loses and he's 29 years old and he goes somewhere else i
13:31don't
13:31think people are going to be like oh he underachieved if they stay together and they played their whole
13:35careers together they only won one championship and been to one more yeah that's an underachievement
13:40that was a historic gag job which one this one this past season it was technically historic for the celtics
13:47yes it was the first time that they did that yeah and i i like i don't i don't i
13:53don't like
13:55i don't not understand people who watch that and say we need to do something radically different
14:00well that's what brad stevens thinks yeah well he wants rim protection yeah um and i'm not hearing
14:06a lot about that i'm also open to the whole thing can be driven by bill chisholm and the money
14:12and he
14:12doesn't want to pay two max guys i'm i'm also open to that possibility so but i think i it
14:19could
14:19all be about money but you're still gonna have to pay the money like you can't no no you can
14:24you're
14:24gonna have to pay the money but you could have three guys two guys right uh as opposed to one
14:29but
14:29then i would i would ask you this is your team is your team better without jaylen brown
14:37moving forward or will they be better with him it would if you were to eliminate jaylen and bring
14:44in whatever pieces i think what wind horse was was whispering about was that they believe they are
14:50better without jaylen brown that would be stupid okay because who are you getting back if you got
14:57back yannis okay but if you're getting back trey murphy and a couple draft picks in jamal murray
15:04jamal murray like your team is not better if you took and said we're gonna go get a big an
15:11offensive
15:11uh offensive big and a point god and keep jaylen and jason don't you think your team would be better
15:17that way all right quick break and hill notes your hill notes the best hill notes you have left for
15:22us
15:23i hope you didn't leave angry principal dave out because he was very upset yesterday yeah we'll see
