I'm on board with the title-next-year mission....another banner would be so sweet, and seeing Horford get a ring is worth the attempt via AD with Kyrie.
If that attempt falls apart, I'm going to advocate the inconceivable--Starting a rookie! Yes, hand him the starting job amongst a sea of vets. There is no one else on the roster whose spot he'll be taking. It is the positional void the Celtics now have. Fill it up with .................

Let him play Brad! Let his fellow vets police him.....Horford and Smart and Hayward will straighten out this young stud's understanding of the game. Just throw him out there and he'll be ready by playoff time.
Rozier, Smart, Larkin
Brown, Smart, Thybulle
Tatum, Hayward, Ojeleye
Doumbouya, Horford, PJ Washington
Horford, Baynes, Williams
Let it fly!! See you in 3 years Giannis with old man Horford off the bench and some new stud center with the Memphis pick....you will not get your 3rd ring this year Mr. Antetokounmpo!
