People are understandably frustrated over a series loss that it seemed we could have won. I am not down on this Celtics team though. We lost because Miami had guys like Herro, Iguodala, and Robinson play at times, like all stars. Bench players are not the ones that are supposed to play big in big playoff games but it happens I guess. We missed opportunities, had too many turnovers, and made other mistakes but you have to hand it to Miami. They beat us after beating Milwaukee.
As to moving forward, we have an unbalanced roster with too much invested in wings and not enough in bigs. Easy to see, harder to fix. We also have a ton of money tied up in Walker and Hayward who both didn't help in the series commensurate with max players. Both are probably dealing with injuries that are not anyone's fault.
Hard to think Hayward won't pick up his option so we probably have him for another year. Walker for a few more years. Not sure where we stand with these guys. They may bounce back, may not. I suspect that both are trade candidates. And I love Marcus Smart. I am happy to keep him.
My prediction is that trades for Hayward and/or Walker will explored but probably nothing comes of it. We get a few draft picks, maybe a minor FA or two, and run it back next season hoping Walker and Hayward stay healthy and the young players all improve. That is not the worst thing.
