Is Al Horford+Brown and the rest of the young players we have coming.  Rj looks like he may actually be ready to contribute this year.  So does Rozier. Jackson looks legit although I'm not sure I see him beating out Rozier this year.

I love our style of drafting.  People get mad when we don't land star players even in the draft but DA is trying to build a style of play with only so many roster spots and so many players in the league that can really get us there.

We still have to fill the void of Turner, not sure we are any better right now.

Our team is set up perfectly with the ability to add another star.  We have picks and flexibility going forward still.  Marcus is going to improve.  I feel like Bradley and Crowder are starting to max their potential but are solid players.  Isaiah is a star.  Our depth is set up perfectly how ainge drafted.

PG-Isaiah, Rozier, jackson
SG-Bradley, Smart, Rj
SF-Crowder, Brown
PF-Amir, KO, Jerebko
C-Horford, Zeller, Zizic

Stashing Yab or Zizic or both.  Sully could be back or we might go another direction. We are a better team.  We were that close to landing Durant but other guys will get a shot for another year.

Rumors are going to continue to abound.  We can dangle a guy like Crowder and picks for an upgrade somewhere or just go into free agency next year and the draft and keep upgrading our talent level.

There is no silver lining.  We suck.  We still suck.

With Hal and development of our guys, we'd probably get out of the first round but I doubt we'll go beyond.  CBS is still our superstar and if we do get out of the second round, that's if we fail to add any more game changer, he'll be the key.  I have faith in Brad Stevens but I can't count on it.

We still suck.

Please tell me why people are hanging on Jaylen Brown for godsakes.  It was a terrible pick.  Still is.  Nothing more nothing less.  People will soon realize this.

I think Jaylen+Rj+Marcus+Horford makes us better than Turner+Sully.  We are an improved team.  The hawks didn't get any better with Howard.  I think we get out of the 1st round this year.

Reality is reality.  It has nothing to do with negativity.  As we stand right now, we get bounced at 2nd round.

We had a bad matchup with the hawks first round t his past year.  It's still Cleveland.  Than Toronto, the Hawks and us. Indy could bounce back.
 
We are still positioned just fine to get someone.

We won't miss turner at all.  rozier, rj, smart and jaylen will replace and outdo anything he brought. We also won't miss Sully. Horford is better.

That would be a reasonable outcome, which if we had signed Durant would be an unreasonable outcome. I am sad we didn't pick up Durant.

People just have to tolerate BrownBashing - it is a freedom of the forum I guess.

Did you see his single three today clench? Beauuuuuutiful form. Nothing broken about it. Kid is gonna be an all-star at LEAST! So exciting isn't it!!!!
