Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2726778, member: 1026"] This is why so many casual observers want the Celtics to trade away the future picks for Kawhi or even trade Kyrie or Hayward right now for the perfect fitting big. Everyone can see the Celtics are one all-star big man away from contending with the Warriors and because "I want it now" and b/c the Warriors are such a juggernaut people are impatient. But it doesn't make sense for Boston to give up what portends to be a decade of dominance to beat a team that will be together for another year tops AND likely still have a better 1-6 than Boston for that 1 year (at least more experienced & cohesive). Its the same thing in essence with Philly, even if you add LeBron to Embid + Simmons there is no guarantee of anything left on the roster that can shoot & defend well enough to trump what the Warriors have right now. But everyone wants to play fantasy GM, does so with a 1-year horizon and assembles imaginary teams to theoretically beat the Warriors because they are unbeatable. [/QUOTE]
