Players get attached to the Celtics. They get addicted to the crowd. The screaming fanbase, the deep playoff runs. Surrounded by history, immersed in the legends, there is nothing like playing on the parquet.

Players get in their feelings every time they are traded from the Celtics. Every single time. They hate it. They want to be Celtics forever. Who wouldn’t?

They make it seem like they were betrayed, because of how much they are invested in being a Celtic. Celtics FO gets a ton of heat based on this simple concept.

The reality is, this pattern only proves that we have great culture. As people are absolutely torn apart when they have to leave us (like Al’s sister).
