It is. Think that's a lot to give up as well for someone who is declining. But Boston is clearly in win now mode after all the money they gave to Brown
Portland can now flip Williams or maybe Ayton if they want too.

Last year of his contract unless he picks up his player option. And he would’ve been in demand around the league too. Better to pay up and keep him out of Miami.

The Golden State 1st round pick that Boston traded today was picked up as part of the Marcus Smart trade to Memphis - it is top 4 protected in 2024, top 1 protected in 2025 and unprotected in 2026.

Great year to be bad in the east this year so might as well aim for a lottery pick. Nobody is beating Boston or the Bucks.

Good trade for the Celtics and obvious upgrade. I've never been a Williams guy and Brogdon is also always hurt. If the Celtics can stay healthy then their top six is loaded but of course that's a big if, even more so than other teams. The big man depth will be a huge question mark.

Yeah big man depth is paper thin and removing Williams+Smart from a team that struggled defensively is playing with fire

To be fair they have a glut of young guards between Sharpe, Henderson and Simons that they'd much rather give playing time too.

Was gonna say, he's technically correct since you can't surpass what you were already above

Not sure what people expect Embiid to say there. He's the reigning league MVP and one of the best players in the league so of course he's going to have self belief. Also, the Sixers did just go further than the Bucks in the playoffs.
It's similar to Butler saying they're going back to the finals and winning it this time while the general public is writing them off already. All of these guys top level athletes have that mindset and aren't going to talk about teams passing them in the offseason. In Jimmy's case, he just spanked both the Bucks and Celtics (again) and believes they'll do it again.

Sure, but the year before both teams lost in the 2nd round and the year prior the Bucks won the chip.
Dude hasn't even played a single minute in the conference finals.
At least in Butlers case in the last 4 years hes made it to the conference finals three times, going to the NBA finals twice.

How about realistic like this: " Sure Boston and Milwaukee both improved their lineups but people should not overlook the 76ers. I still feel like we have a great chance to go all the way this season." Of course the trick here would be to say this with a straight face.

He'd have won at least a couple of Championships already if whining was the determining factor.
