Franchise players cost a lot.
The best move is drafting Fultz, re-sign IT after next season and hope to land someone via trade or FA.

Im not huge on IT though. I still rather trade him if the offer is there. Im sure many disagree but his defense kills me.

This would be great IMO. I think you gotta keep IT unless youre giving him up for a top 5 player/scorer.

& wow, totally had no idea we had brooklyns 2018 pick as well, lookout cleveland!

Woj reported the celtics will probably pass on butler & george and to quote, go "really hard after Hayward on July 1st"

Hayward and Fultz will be nice additions

How do you think this will impact the Celtics plan? Not trolling. Being serious.

Do the Celtics say f it and go young and just hope to peak when lebron regresses in a few years.

Or

Do they say we need a star if we want to compete. Someone who can slow down lebron. Kd and kawhi are untouchable. We need to get Paul George and/or jimmy butler or we won't ever get out of the east.

A 73 win team couldnt beat Lebron.
They had to add KD to a 73 win team to face Lebron.... Only in the NBA :rofl:

This changes nothing. We made the conference finals 2-3 years ahead of schedule.
IT should be traded and I will keep saying it.
Keep rebuilding until Lebron is gone and the Warriors split up.
Every team is light years behind those two teams.
We can thank the NBA for that though :lol:

if we get rid of IT we have no scorers lol...

I know lol. It's never going to happen.

1) Draft Fultz. 100% going to happen :hail:

2) Fultz will need minutes so a starter has to good. Trade Avery Bradley for veteran D+3 or pick. Jae Crowder stays because can guard both wing positions as oppose to Bradley who is limited to smaller guards. Jae also has 2 years left both at 7 million. Bradley will be a UFA after this season and Smart+IT will need contracts. The same rumor keeps coming up of Bradley to Philly for 1st pick or Covington/Holmes. I'll take any C than can rebound.

3) Sign Hayward. Blake Griffin is always hurt, so as good as he is, please don't. He probably isn't leaving LA with the money he would get if he chooses to stay -_- And KD obviously isn't leaving GS, win or lose

4) Look for a possible trade package with Jae/Smart/Brown/Rozier (BK 1st 2018, Clippers 1st, Grizzlies 1st, Celtics 1st) are all draft picks we have next 1-2 drafts. Re-visit the Butler/George talks depending on their situation or find a legit C.
This move is likely to happen in season if we do acquire a player such as Hayward.

5) Re-sign Olynyk+Jerekbo as last move to fill out the rest of the front-court.

Curious what do people think will happen?
Off season should be great b)

Some dude from hoopscritic.com i was listening to said he'd draft Josh Jackson if he were the celtics. Would that be a waste of the #1 pick, maybe trade?
