The Celtics regular season was never about Jaylen “carrying” anything, it was context. Half the league is tanking, the East was weak and injured, while the Celtics were healthy. Mazzulla is a regular season wizard, and you got real development from Queta, Walsh, Garza, Scheierman, plus White having the best defensive season of his career.
Jaylen was just Jaylen. From 2022–25 when Tatum sat, he averaged 28/7/5 on 57% TS, literally the same numbers he just put up this year without Tatum (except on much higher usg%) and he was still a net negative, so there was never any “carrying.” They were 8–1 without him this year and 44–9 without him since ’23, which tells you everything about impact vs usage. The off-ball defense has been bad, the impact has always lagged the role, and none of this should’ve surprised anyone, the team exceeded expectations, not him.
Then in the playoffs, when it matters, it all showed: negative AST/TOV, -23.4 net rating, 39% TS without Tatum, lower PPP than Tatum and even Pritchard despite leading in usage and FGA. And the worst part is the mindset, no accountability, no willingness to scale back. You’re talking about a second option about to make $60 mil+ who won’t take a back seat. That should terrify you. If you’d rather keep Jaylen over trading for a bigger fish like Giannis, you’re not a real fan, you don’t want to win another ring.
Jaylen was great in our 2024 run, helped us win a championship and I will always thank him for that. This ship has ran its course, 1 championship in 10 years, if you still can’t admit that then you’re too far gone.

Nobody wants to admit the truth but it really was a “gap year” for the Celtics & Jaylen decided to prove ppl wrong about him instead. Both things can be true. A championship roster wouldn’t be legitimately starting a Queta & Hauser in the playoffs Next year is belt to ass
