Roland17:
You are choosing to apply your position from only the player’s POV. The Celtics have accommodated JB. The Celtics are renowned for accommodating, protecting and keeping issues about their players under wraps despite how powerful the Celtics media is. From “The Truth’s” stabbing incident to Ime Udoka’s issue. Despite how the NBA see’s the Cs, we take care of our own.

Trade speculations are nothing new to NBA players and we know this. Every player knows they are the trading block so I am not understanding this angu. When JT was out and Infact after he returned and our playoff run ended, there were legitimate conversations about trading JT.

The Sixers with Embiid? Hahahaha.. People that celebrated like they won a ring after finally beating us.. We shall see is all I will say about that.

If this is true that your team's FO thought Derrick White had a better season than Jaylen Brown then your team is not just cooked they are fried

Maybe your Celtics accommodated guys in the past but they did not do so for Jaylen Brown. Hell what did they even do for Ime? They fired him over a consensual affair. That don't sound like covering for to me

Back to JB. What was his crime? Can you specifically point to anything JB did that brought the reputation of the Celtics to negative press. Was he breaking any laws? Was he cursing anybody in management? All that man said was it was his best season because of the adversity the team faced and that everyone thought it was a lost season with a team of misfit toys.

The man was on a Twitch stream not in a strip club with guns making it rain on them heauxs.

The uncomfortable truth is your Celtics have not treated JB like the franchise player that he has rightly proven to be. There's no rule that says he and JT cannot be the face of the Celtics. He's been your most durable and available player. You can't dangle him as trade bait over and over and expect him to just be quiet about it. Every player will not respond positively to that.

Make no mistake about it. This is as bad as the Luka/AD trade. They beat the Celtics without Jaylen Brown and now you're gifting them arguably your best player. This means they don't even need to rely on Embiid as much anymore. You have made your biggest opponents title contenders.

I know you will not agree in the open but deep down you know this is an absolutely horrendous trade

Leyqute:
It’s harsh on balogun

Very harsh. It wasn't studs up, he wasn't even sliding.

Trump will give Infantino a call. That should not get him a three match suspension

Roland17:
There is a way I don’t want to speak about JB because to God, he is one of my favorite players and boy have I always rooted for him. I’d hate to come across like critical because of this situation.

JT is the face of this franchise, know this and know peace. He fits how the Celtics works in terms of face of the franchise. JB over the last 2-3 years has earned his stripes. The Celtics have done right by him in every situation, payed him, supported his causes; you name it.

I hope after he leaves he shows the city the love and respect.. but I won’t be shocked if he doesn’t.

Well Goodluck to them cos it's time to show and prove for JT. As the face of the franchise

We get it he's the choir boy and baby face but like Michael Irvin said. You're not going to win a Superbowl with a bunch of choir boys. You also need guys like JT

I don't think JB has done anything wrong. He's reacting as anyone that is perennially dangled as trade bait will react. Even Chet Holmgren despite his disasterclass and injury proneness is always backed by the organization.

Celtics paid him his rightful dough nau. Do they want a cookie for that?

Your employer can do all sorts of things but if they keep putting you on transfer list to a city that's not even of your choosing I think you will be well in your right to kick up dust

What I'm truly surprised by is why the Celtics agreed to such a terrible deal. This is a generational head scratcher. If you had to give up more picks to the Bucks surely that would have been better than strengthening the team that knocked you out of the playoffs and making them an instant contender

Cos
Maxey
Edgecombe
Brown
Embiid

That's formidable

Balogun red card. Ayagayagayagayo hei. Ayagayagayagayo

I think that was a soft red sha. Very soft. They should appeal that

That Senegal 8 eh. I've seen super sub. This one na Unsuper sub

PDPGuy:
I can only predict that, of the remaining African teams, it will be Egypt and Algeria that will advance to the round of 16.

Colombia will be far too strong for Ghana to handle, ditto for Argentina against Cape Verde

Switzerland go flog Algeria wetin no good

With that Zidane Nepo baby for post?

SmooshCHN:
There are some illnesses I could come to terms with if i was diagnosed at like 70 or older. But seeing someone face something this devastating at such a young age always makes me question how unfair life can be. It’s heartbreaking to know he’s going to be living with so much uncertainty certainty about what lies ahead. It's sad.

Abeg I don't pray to deal with anything debilitating that will affect my daily quality of life. The normal sleep and go is fine with me

As far as I know ALS has no cure and your time line is 3-5 years if you're lucky. Problem is it weakens all your body functions and eventually even the ability to breathe.

birdman:
I expect to see him downtown philly, dropping knowledge with dem NOI brothers any day now

That's true. Na their one of their stronghold be that. And him na borderline radical at least on an intellectual level.

What I don't understand is why the Sixers will accept such a deal. PG is the older inferior version of Tatum. This trade makes absolutely no sense

Roland17:
JB to the Sixers

My condolences mate. Your team is officially finished

A 36 year old washed up Temu version of Jayson Tatum with two years still to go on his deal. Oof

birdman:
How bitter can you be with the largest contract in history? Which adopted child is getting 300milli? Bro was childish!

That he earned relative to the rest of the league. Not like they did him a favor. He produced and brought them a chip

Why is he supposed to be thrilled that every other year the team is trying to ship him out? Is that what they are doing with Jokic, SGA and Co. Have they won more than him?

birdman:
He is not even 40! I dont think it has been proven, but taking those football hits could not have helped. A very heartbreaking turn of events. And kudos to his wife for not dipping and abandoning ship.

I'm seeing 1985 in his bio. He's the first ex NFLer I've heard with ALS. There might have been more but not this young. Desperately unlucky to catch such a wicked disease

And kudos to his wife too can't be easy seeing a healthy epitome of masculinity wither in your very hands. Life and what's is its actual point sometimes

This one think say na mosque e dey

Why are African teams so allergic to prosperity. Which kin choke job be this

Shey England don ready acclimatize to that Mexico City elevation sha. Will they have enough time?

Egypt and Senegal are the only teams I see wey still get hope

Kasongo ye ye

African teams just dey jabo one by one

Harry Phelps. Shameless

StarchAndBanga:
Which player in the France powerful attack is a traditional 9?

Sweden with two traditional 9s (Isak and ur fav Gbakyores) couldn't even get one single goal

E go explain tire no evidence

airmark:
I remember how bad Raumdeuter and A40 painted Upermecano, but he is in a defence trashing all oppositions because of a powerful attack.

Do i need to talk how attack is more important than the defence again?

What of your guy Gyokeres. The one you said Enrique will regret not buying

Upamenonsense na still otu. Luckily for him he is in a Superteam. They are too big to fail.

Diaz-Saibari-Olise

E ni sun ni Europe yen se

Na defender come remain like this

Nemesis0147:
Who miss this
Wtf!!

Gyokerfraud. Fake Bane

Arsenal don buy market

Nemesis0147:
lol
Portugal should better give up for Croatia match to avoid embarrassing their idol😂😭

Croatia sef mid. It will be national embarrassment for Portugal not to beat them. That will be low even for them

Certain teams are not good enough to upset and this Croatia looks like one of them

Perez €1.6bn pere

Nemesis0147:
God of soccer Dy follow Sweden
I'm smelling and offset here😂

You no like Takeoff

If you're a NFL fan spare a thought for CJ2K

40 year old dealing with ALS is an utterly cruel thing

Gives you some perspective

Unlimited22:
Eh? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes now. At 31 already showing signs of CTE

Roland17:
This is why Boston isn’t picking JB over JT. See I love JB and since he was drafted, I have been rotting hard for him, receipts full this thread but man has allowed everything get over his head. He is constantly in the news and teams like the Celtics don’t like that. He just needs to say less and just allow things fall in place.

Can you blame him? He's always been dangled as trade bait for the past 6 seasons or more so I can understand his bitterness.

When has JT ever been rumored to be involved in any trade? These are two players drafted back to back that you are supposed to join them at their hip till they're approaching retirement

Yet your team keeps dangling JB as trade bait. I will kick up dust too when you're treating me like an adopted child

Roland17:
The Warriors are about to run a Geriatric core!

Ajala/ AD/ Draymond/ Butler/ Steph

Omo e go wild gan!

I don't think that's possible. It's likely AD for Butler trade

I want to laugh at another failed Avengers Team so I can't wait tbh

raumdeuter:
Actually no sensible person will blame Tah when a whole Goretzka was ducking from penalties. I cant blame the guys who stood up to shoot when supposed senior players were hiding

Harvetz and Woltemade go dey do like person wey get sickle cell. to pick angle and blast come become WAEC. Woltemade just do hair like Rudi Voller, there is no steel inside him

The disadvantage of moving to EPL when they havent learned the German way finish

Goretzka is all the more disappointing. I already suspected his head was not correct when he somehow ended up in Ecuador team bus.

Thank God his contract has expired let him go and be shyte elsewhere

Woltemade had me fooled cos I saw him at Euro U21 and I thought he was that dude.

All these boys them be ajebo. They were not forged from the steel of post war Germany. Völler, Matthaus, Sammer, Möller, Brehme (RIP), Klinsmann, Effenberg, Riedle, Littbarski, Strunz, Ziege etc. When you enter penalty shootout with Germany in the past you know you've lost already.

Now we have people who can't take penalties or are too scared to take one

Capaldi:
With every new report that comes out, Nagelsman incompetence becomes even more shocking. How do you reach a knockout match without preparing for the possibility of penalties and train for them. How are you still scrambling to find five penalty takers when you have had an extra 30 minutes to get everyone ready? Kimmich had to go around begging teammates to step up. Please sack him and give Klopp whatever he wants. At the very least he wasn't as bad as the demon called Flick.

Everybody don fall for wunderkind hype when e dey Leipzig

His time at Bayern already exposed him as a fraud

Unlimited22:
'Pure Germans' Leon Goretzka and Waldemar Anton all ducked taking one when Kimmich asked


They can get lost

Jonathan Tah had never taken a penalty in his life and he had to step up

Omo they can fokoff abeg

Them no get shame. You're afraid of penalty but you no fit ensure say you win the game for regular time.

That bum Waldemar Anton had a glorious free header and nodded straight to keeper

CB taking PKs in a shootout usually problematic. Hierro and then David Luiz for all him comma is the only expert CB kicker I've seen

Olowunl01:
Tinubu built lagos crew have all gone quiet🤣🤣🤣, after almost 30yrs of master plan by the master strategist ordinary refuse and drainage problems have not been solved, wetin Jakande achieved in few short years. I don't know one social problem that master strategist has solved for lagos.
* Roads are still bad
* Agbero issue dey
* Schools are still dilapidated
* Hospitals still poorly run
* Water - worse
* Environment - worse

The only thing on the up is the increase in IGR for personal enrichment.

All of Tinubu rep on Lagos work is based on Fashola wey perform and we know the kin tussle that they also had

Even the other governor that wanted to do a decent job he no gree make e do pass one term before he replaced him with an ineffective stooge
