Why do you need a "superstar" player at this point?

This Celtics team is playing lights out all across. Imagine smashing the undefeated on the road Mavs with Hayward out and Tatum having one of his worst games ever.

This team could go really far, don't think anyone questions that. Risking this unit for a single superstar is something worth questioning.


If for example Giannis was available for Tatum + Brown + Kemba, you do it without even blinking and that isn't an exaggeration.

Over the history of the NBA you could maybe count on one hand the number of title winners without a superstar player AKA top 5 in the league at that point in time

You also need solid players around a superstar. It’s just giannis and Middleton on the bucks


According to C's fans across multiple boards (reddit, realGM, d2jsp) they have five All-Stars; Hayward, Tatum, Brown, Smart, and Walker. So really the Celtics should sweep the East and have no problem winning a title.

George Hill and Eric Bledsoe are both very solid players. Bledsoe is just like Lowry in the sense that it's all mental when it comes to his shortcomings. Bledsoe has all of the tools to be an elite guard defender, attack the basket, shoot the 3, etc he just has to put it all together. I don't think there is even an argument to be made against George Hill, just a really smart player who comes up clutch consistently and plays great defense.

I'm saying individually there is plenty of quotation available on Hayward being an All-Star this season, Kemba being an All-Star, Tatum being an All-Star, Jaylen being an All-Star, to a lesser extent Marcus Smart

nobody has said the Celtics are favorites on this forum, but by my count they are the most talented on paper if they have that many All-Star players

He doesn't really believe that. He knows the Celtics will fizzle out and settle into a 3-6 seed
