| On a team where LeBron is making $50 million at age 40, Rob has still built a pretty good roster, and I don't believe anyone could have done a better job than him under those circumstances. |

Brad Stevens would. He's paying Jaylen Brown 50 mil to average less PPG, APG, RPG than Lebron while shooting worse from the field, worse from beyond the arc, worse from the FT line all with a worse A/TO ratio.
Tatum = AD
Brown = Lebron
White > Reaves
Holiday > DFS
Porzingis > Rui
Pritchard > Christie
Horford > Vincent
Hauser > Knecht
Tatum is probably better than AD and imo Lebron is better than Brown by a hair but let's say both duos are even. The Celtics are quite literally better at every roster spot. |

Brown is better than Lebron. Way better. He even defends anybody on the floor. |

Disingenuous take. Tatum is 26 yrs. old, compared to AD's 31 yrs. old. Jaylen Brown is 28 yrs. old, compared to LeBron's 40 yrs. old. If both LeBron and AD were in they're mid to late 20's, Rob and the entire FO would have no issues going "all in" on building around them. But, that's not the case.

Brown is not WAY better lol. Brown doesn't even get the oppositions best defenders on him nor does he get doubled like Tatum.
Has incredibily shaky handles as well. He's playing on a fantastic team.
Of course he's a really good player but i wouldn't take him ahead of Lebron. |

No, Lebron is just a volume shooter with no defensive effort nowadays. In todays NBA, 40+ years old this Lebron has no serious worth for a contender. He is some kind of more efficient Jordan Poole right now. Lebron is a liability in a way. Brown is not. He contributes to his team in every area his team needs.

There's no way Tatum is equal to AD come on now.
You take Tatum off the team and Boston still wins 50+ games.
You take AD off this team and Atlanta goes straight to the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes.

Age isn’t the argument. But give jb, jt or even AD prime Bosh and prime wade I have a feeling at worst 2 rings are won.

Celtics are like 5-2 without Brown this season. That’s how good and well coached that team is.
Bron on that team would be a cheat code. Specially next to Porzingis and how much they shoot 3s. IQ and playmaking alone is not even close.
Lakers gets dumber and less efficient with Brown. |

I think rebounds and blocks puts AD ahead.
Tatum ~+2ppg,
AD ~+3rpg & ~+2bpg.
Steals the same.

You probably think Julian Strawther is better than Bron lmao. |
