Yes he was cheap because his health is the issue, not because he’s not a good player. Like I said, when healthy and at his best, he’s really not that far behind Middleton. Middleton is just more consistent, and generally stays healthy more often. Brogdon has more strings to his bow though 100%

I’m talking about the regular season.

Rob barely played in the playoffs either.

Did someone ask you to?

Brogdon isn't and has never been a top 3 let alone top 2 player on a Championship team like Middleton. Brogdon was heavily questioned by Pacers fans throughout his time there for being boring, lacking leadership or showing any sort of passion for the game (not to mention his inconcistency and injuries). His defense is also nowhere near what it once was and he has some of the slowest lateral speed among all guards in the league (which is why he doesn’t defend guards well). He's also coming off a season where he shot horribly from deep (including catch and shoot threes). Like I said, Pacers didn't want to pay him and the fans were pretty supportive of that.

Remember Milwaukee let him walk too, and people questioned it? Then Milwaukee immediately got better after his departure.

With that said....he's a terrific off-season addition to add to the Celtics depth, for what he is. Coming off the bench he's a great player to have available. Low risk, high reward who brings value and the Celtics didnt give up much for him. He's a very good role player if he accepts his role, and can fill in at times and have big moments. But there's a reason he's 0-for-2 on his previous teams in terms of them wanting to retain him lol. Please don't make him out to be more than he is (he's not on Middletons level that's for sure).

Ya'll got a discord for the fight?

"Playoffs are the only thing that matter"

Your words.

Middleton is a proven playoff big game performer and champion.

Rob is potential and some regular season production.

In the future Rob could be more valuable, absolutely. But up to this point? Hell no.

Well how can we compare them in last seasons playoffs when hardly either of them were there?

And if we want to compare the playoffs the year before, rob played 3 games and had 10 blocks against the stacked Nets in one of those games.

YES I’m aware that Middleton has been a more valuable player over their careers to this point. That is not what I’m arguing. I’m saying Rob was more valuable in 21-22. I’m also saying he will be a better player than Middleton in 22-23.

I said CLOSE to Middletons level (at his best and injury free), which he is.

I wasn’t talking about last season with the Pacers, I didn’t ask what Pacers fans said, etc etc. read exactly what I say, and respond accordingly. Nn these Josh level paragraph responses that are irrelevant to my point. Thanks champ 👍

He's nowhere close to Middleton and the fact that you think he is just shows how far you're taking your homering with Celtics players. He's a fine bench piece but good lord you gotta relax with thinking all of your guys are superstars.

Also, Celtics owner literally called the team overrated in an interview the other day. Even he isn't as delusional as you are rofl.

His quote:

"I loved being right there with them. It was thrilling. The other side of the coin is I think that we've now been overrated," Grousbeck said, via Boston.com. "I think that performance was a bit overrated in the public mind, or my own mind, because I'm the one saying it."

His BEST is close to Middleton. Read clearly please!

Idgaf what the owner says to the media. He’s obviously just trying to keep a lid on it anyway.
