As a Celtics fan, I’m so happy this aged poorly

I knew this vid was eventually gonna come out as a Celtics fan. Kyrie was my favorite player before he joined the Celtics and I was a Celtics fan, so I was the happiest person alive when that trade happened. Now, I wish Isaiah Thomas was here 😞

who else watching this after celtics sweep nets and are just about to play game 7 vs bucks as the 2 seed

this documentary style video is really awesome, I really hope this video blows up

I don't even like the Celtics, but I watch because you make good videos

I think what hurt them the most they stopped developing their draft picks after Tatum, them going to the ECF and free agent also signings played a role.

They added 3 veterans (Haywards Irving Horford), NONE of them pan out well... Horford was the best addition still not the one who pushed them through. They wasted meaningless picks instead trading them for good veterans... Ainge had one good move and drafted right ones other them this he did a mess

Cool vid even if it's hard to watch as a bos fan. Keep up great work!

little did he know what the celtics would do.........

It’s so weird seeing this like a month later when they’re on a 9 win streak and just fucking crushed the sixers by 48 points

Danny Ainge's fundamental flaw as a GM is that he views players as commodities and not as people. Obviously, the NBA is a business and when the best possible move is available, you take it. However, making the right business decision at the cost of your reputation is going to hurt your team in the long run. It's why Ray Allen left in free agency to join the Heat, it's why Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward left in free agency, it's why Evan Fournier left in free agency and constantly cooks the Celtics like he has a vendetta against them despite only playing 21 games for the team! Trading Isaiah Thomas in the way they did really hurt the Cs reputation, Anthony Davis' father did not want his son to play for the Celtics because of how they treated IT. The Celtics are still a very talented team, and when a team this talented struggles the way it does, there is something wrong on a cultural level that needs to be addressed. Brad Stevens in my opinion cannot fix these issues, when Brad traded Kemba Walker, according to Walker via the JJ Reddick Podcast, he had no idea he was traded to OKC until he got a call from his agent while he was on vacation, he was not told he was being shopped, or that there was a possibility it would happen.

I remember thinking, What are the Sixers doing??? I could see trading up to guarantee you get who you want, but how could they think Foltz was better than Tatum? And another pick on top of that for moving up? I still get pissed when I see Tatum killin em!

Ainge never really did anything with their treasure trove of 1st round picks when he had the chance to get the big named stars. Another issue is how Tatum and Brown have way too similar of a play style being iso scorers with little to NO playmaking skills(they can still get assists but its not their forte). I doubt the Celtics would even trade Brown/Tatum so the only viable guy they could trade is only Smart and whoever they could package along with him. The sad reality right now is that pure point guards are a rare bread now because most guards have been developed into elite scorers.

This was one of you best best videos! It was really well done.

It's karma haunting them for doing IT dirty.

The editing is fire on this one, good job!

6:32 well that didn’t age well

This team could've been next, smh Should of got Chris Paul when he was on the market to run this squad instead of Kemba...but hindsight I suppose. They need a Rondo/Rubio style of player to run the offense. ...maybe Russell or Wall can fit.

Fantastic start to a video love it keep it up

Great video that was awesome quality

What a video! Loved the quality!

Well, this one didn't age well

This aged very well ☘️ CELTICS PRIDE

Really great video!!!

Casey, you should make a video telling us your opinion on the top vote getters for the all star game 2022

That intro was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The problem with all this is the lack of a PG.. Not a n1 star player... Boston has 2 stars.... They need a guy to run the offense... That's why Miami paid what they did to Kyle Lowry... The good PGs are hard to find

This didn't age well, onto the NBA Finals!!!!!

I know everyone's talking about how this aged well because of the 2022 finals but bro is on point with the Marcus Smart trade

love this vid you should do more like these

And Al Horford, Marcus Smart, Greg Monroe, Terry Rozier, even Marcus Morris to a lesser extent, yeah, I’d say super stacked lmao, even just starting five. I was thinking about it when he didn’t mention Al Horford, damn, even better than I initially remembered lol, I get guys were young, but this team on paper wow, gives me Golden State Warriors, OKC thunder vibes fr

watching this in 2023 is crazy. celtics went to the finals against the warriors

I'm actually surprised that a front office can withold informations about a players health and recovery How is that legal ?

They need a leader at the point maybe a vet I think they should aim for keeping Dennis and adding someone like Rubio to back him up on the bench and help lead the floor or try and aim for someone like Westbrook who could draw them in leaving the other 2 open on the three or ready for the iso.

Your greatest editing yet

Definitely do more vids like this man

1 year later the Celtics are #1 in the league, they figured out most of their problems and did not trade away and stars and are a HUGE threat defensively AND offensively . As a Celtics fan I am happy this aged poorly.

I enjoyed the cinematic/documentary type style

Even though they’re not winning they have one of the best maybe the best future

Looking at this video Boston had a great history back then and some greats finals wins but until know idk but I really think there good together but when the ball come to them they won’t pass again.

I'm a Celtics fan. Glad they made the finals so this would age.

Amazing intro

Ainge made all the right moves in every situation. It goes to show how much luck goes into team success and that should change the way executives are evaluated.

Damn very good edit at the start

yo i love this intro casey!

Yooooo the intro piece to this one was dope Casey, love seeing your channel evolve so much over time! Keep on keeping on

As a Warriors fan the part where he said everyone thought they’d challenge the dynasty Warriors I laughed because they actually did later that year in the Finals but FAILED 😂😂😂

awesome vid casey

Who has the best record in the nba now????

the problem is Tatum think's he's the second reincarnation of Kobe lol

Great video Casey really great tbh

4:22 I need that shirt bruh.

This is a perfect time for a Boston Celtics video. Casey this might be one of your best videos yet. You absolutely correct the Celtics were looking like they could be a Championship team now they are at the point where they are just making the playoffs. I think it's time to split up Brown and Tatum and obviously it would be Brown, they both play a similar style of basketball but Tatum is better and is the Celtics future. Yah I think your right it's time to trade Brown and split the 2 of them up but what they need is exactly what you said a play making point guard bc Schroder and Smart are not that. That is why the ball is always in Tatum's or Brown's hands, so yah I like that trade with the Wizards, I don't love it but I like it bc they aren't going to get Fox, SGA, or Dame the players you mentioned and their is only 1 Chris Paul lol. He'll of a video Casey, guess we will see what the outcome is but the Celtics have to make a move.

Now we are in the finals! wow what a season

There was some truth to the stuff he mentioned and some great points. But Ainge had done a very good job. We fell on some crappy luck with Kyrie and that bullshit. Hayward couldn’t stay on the court. They missed one a phew first rd picks it appears, with Nesmith and Romeo. But he also drafted Terry Rozier, Robert Williams and traded a washed Bradley for Marcus Morris. That’s just some of the more recent things he did there’s a ve eth long list of success. Any one doing it as long as him is bound for some misses but the dude did a heck of a job and should still be here.

Nice format

one of my favorite videos casey

As a Celtics fan (despite the username, im both lmao) Im not fond of letting go of Brown, but seeing a Brown-SGA trade would be pretty cool to see

Problem with the trade is you describe Romeo Langford an Aaron Nesmith both looks like draft busts, neither of which is really giving any indication that they could fill a top 8 role for an NBA team. . while I could imagine there are teams who would give them a chance, I can't believe any team would treat them as value added in a trade, at best they are throw ins So once you remove the bodies that are in the deal as mostly cap filler. It basically is Marcus Smart and a 2024 #1, for Dinwiddie and KCPi don't see the value for Washington

The celtics are built to win this whole decade. We all know they are gonna pay tatum and brown what they want. And they have TONS of young talent off the bench that's only gonna get better and better every year. I'm excited as a cs fan tbh

imagine kyrie, tatum, and brown playing on the celtics today

Okay Casey Korzemba 🔥🔥

They need a point guard like a floor general like Kyle Lowry Chris Paul

Whatever my Celtics do in this trade deadline, they SHOULD NOT trade Rob Williams. He is are Mr Reliable

I got to Kyrie jerseys that I bought after he said he was resigning here. That Kanye knock off is the reason.

It may be an unpopular opinion but the thing that hurt them the most was goin to game 7 w/o Kyrie Irving and a Gordon Hayward. Egos got too big and they didn’t respect the peckin order after that season. Kyrie was the number one option and still is the best player out of them. They should’ve fell in line. Could’ve owned the east if they did

Well I think we can say there current status fs changed after sweeping the nets

first trade suggestion i have seen that i would actually take(i would try to take Romeo out obviously),,,,

Woah your really good at this you should be on tv just try not to get yelled at by your boss next to kawai

Oh my God, I could not stop laughing to the point that I couldn’t even watch the video. My eyes were watering up. That T-shirt man…lmao f*ck threes Ben Simmons. I need to know where I can get a shirt like this.

Now what………. Where’s your follow up video now ? I’ll wait……

they need a good playmaker, leader, and more shooters

I still have hope in the c’s I don’t really fuck with them anymore I’m a nets fan now but I think there’s still hope for them

Watching this from the future is straight foolishness

Better Title than the one where the RU-vidr claimed it was a dynasty in the making. (probably for hyping the vid)

Damn!! Came here for the recent comments

Well, This aged well

Dude, Aaron Nesmith is gone. He went in the Brogdon/Gallinari trade.

I like the intro

Yuhh take this down my G😅😭🤝 them boys finals bound👑

Lot of people surprised at Bulls, DeMar and am too being a bulls fan. But nothing is more surprising than seeing the Cavs in a playoff run and Celtics with J&J having a losing record

Ime Udoka is top 3 coach as of right now

Pain.

Haha could be travling at 0:25

We had that 2017/18 team for 5 minutes 😭

Celtics blew it they had so much talent, IT, Tatum, Brown, Rozier, Morris, Smart, Hayward and even more depth, then also got Kyrie

4 months later they are in the finals:)

You’ve made so many good points all I can do is agree 👍🏾😂

Its funny too see this when Celtics made the finals

I actually like the trade quite a bit. I’d like a move for VanVleet or Dejonte Murray more though. Probably would have to trade Brown to get either though. Maybe VV in a S&T this offseason after he declines his option.

The C's prob would've been fine if they never traded for Kyrie, but stars win championships so I didn't blame Ainge for making that move tho I hated Ainge for betraying Isaiah Thomas like that Also, you should do more of this kind of video, an Awsome video can't wait to see more!

Well it looks like nothing went wrong and they made the right choices 😂, easy to say in hindsight though.

Only thing I hate worse then yoitube ads is creators making their own ads and making me waste 3 minutes of the actual video watching it.

I love the trade ideas but trading Jason or Jalen is a bad idea

Hayward was hurt and Irving should have never been in green. Pretty simple really.

Didn’t dylandoesbasketball already do this. No hate, but just wondering

brown and tatum are monsters but they need to learn to play off ball if they want to stick together.

Josh Richardson does it to the ball sticks him every goddamn time he touches it I was at the game today and I think I saw one pass that he sent to another player any touch the ball like a dozen times

Wait what wizards tanking? They playin good as a team though!
