I wouldn't call them "trash" but I;m with you in that don't consider the young guys nearly as good as many of my fellow C's fans do. I have Celtics fan friends talking about they shouldn't have even bothered with Kyrie and let the young kids (Tatum and Brown specifically) take the lead role. I like them both but neither of them have that DNA. Tatum regressed this year and complains too much. Brown is inconsistent as hell despite his insane athleticism. He just doesn't seem to have a feel for the game a lot of the time. He reminds me of Tony Allen. Insanely athletic, brings a lot of energy, super likable guy ... but also insanely out of control in transition, streaky shooter (though I concede Brown is a far *superior* shooter despite the inconsistency), and disappears at times.
The only other gripe I have with what you said is that I wouldn't consider Horford soft *at all*. He muscles down low with the best big guys in the league and is a rock for this team. Problem is that his contract has people confused. The summer the C's signed him was that wild summer when *everyone* was getting insane contracts. So you can't really judge him by that, but the media does. Horford is not at all a max guy and isn't a #1 option but he is a rock solid frontcourt player who you can pretty much always count on to do the right thing. He just needs a superstar or two around him. In fact he had the best on the court chemistry with Kyrie out of anyone. Their pick and pop was nearly unstoppable in the times when Ky stopped playing hero ball.
