How much better will he Celtics be with Kyrie AND Hayward?

[Colin X]

Will they be substantially better or are they just overachieving right now and this will be where they are next season?

Spoiler

they're currently overachieving and their success is heavily a result of Stevens' system, they'll improve but not by as much as most other teams would be adding those two guys. It's like how the Spurs can win without guys

Boston not missing a beat without Kyrie. Get in here fakkit @GOAT

Imagine Portland or Houston winning games without Dame/Harden.

You're stupid as fukk if you think they're "not missing a beat". This would be an easy trip to the Finals with Kyrie. But you'll see that next year, so I'm not tripping.

And you're really on my dikk, huh? How many threads you gonna tag me in? I'm living rent free in your bytch ass head.

Imagine Portland winning WITH Dame. Dude got outplayed by the corpse of Rondo in game 1. Kyrie would never underperform like that under the bright lights. Never.

Finals. I feel that they can win it all next year if they stay healthy. Jayson Tatum is gonna get better and it's gonna be scary. That nikka so polished.

The only team that's better than a fully healthy Boston is a healthy Warriors. Healthy Boston beats Houston or Cleveland.

They will be better obviously but the Bucks are making them look much better than they are right now. Had they played the Heat/Wiz, they’d have lost one game at least so far. Bucks shot 60% for the ENTIRE game and somehow managed to lose by 15

 

[Conscious Pilot]

If they keep em together, Tatum And Brown gonna be the best 2-3 Combo in a couple years.

Rockets went 7-4 without Harden this season, Blazers went 5-4 without Lillard. Next question

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Sixers and Celtics will be the next great rivalry in the league. The east will come down to these two teams almost every year. I'm giving up on Milwaukee

 

[Monsanto]

You can't plug and play without adjusting for less shots for somebody, chemistry, and defense.

But having Hayward as a passing forward would help immensely. The team would be in the finals.

Hard to say.
Kyrie has had knee problems before and now he’s dealing with another surgery.

It’s likely to get worse and that will eventually reduce his explosiveness. He will still be good but he probably won’t be better.

I’m betting he’ll get hurt again with the Celtics. Boston will still be ECF contenders with him tho.

Hayward should be fine.
Though he kinda seems redundant with the way Brown and Tatum are developing. I could see the Celtics putting out trade feelers for Hayward. Yeah he’s better than Tatum now. And depth matters, so having them both is a great problem to have. But that 4th year is a player option and I don’t see any way Hayward declines it. I also don’t see any way Boston will want to pay it.

Boston has a 2 year window before they have some difficult decisions to make.

Kyrie doesn't impact. Winning. That's why they don't miss him. He wasn't leading shyt. Dude was just scoring with a great defense around him like Isaiah Thomas was.

Kyrie would be food if he got traded to the suns. Brad Stevens system is what really makes it all go. Not Kyrie. We saw what happened anytime lebron sat down for 2mins during the finals last year. 11-0 run. No sip of Gatorade for you bron.
