LOL, nice, I 'm just happy we finally got Brad some more talent. All this time we've been saying Brad is a great coach with no stars, and could do more with stars

Isaiah developed as a star under Brad, and now we gave him 1 more star. Yea we missed on Durant but let's see how well Brad can do with 2 stars.

I still have some sort of hope for Durant, his 2nd year is a player option, if that team doesn't get it done next year and somehow implodes, and we have some more success, I say we go at him again

I hate to admit it, but I would give it another shot too. I think he has made a big mistake, particularly if they do not win a championship. He can atone by coming to Boston

what would it take to build a horford legacy in boston-like the fans took to chrowder and IT--lets stop talking about durant and westbrook-horford is more of a celtic style player-a two way make everybody better-i also think he will wind up more durable as he plays smart and doesn't over extend himself-

Agree!

Horford is a major upgrade on Amir Johnson. I'm disappointed it seems Zizac won't be playing this year. He seems ready. I expect Olynyk to surprise his cynics. Sully will end up on the Nets. He'll provide them with Big Baby type Orlando numbers. They'll still lose. Chris Ford used to run up his stats on some of those pre-Larry Bird teams. Chris Ford. People talk down Pitino, but I think Ford was the scarier coach.

I sense the Celtics will win 60 games and compete with Cleveland for the top seed.

I think the Celtics could now have Golden State's number. We can play them small. We can go big and freak them out.

Al Horford was definitely fireworks, so I agree with the general gist of Rollie's post.

Amir Johnson doesn't pile up stats, but when healthy, he is more than solid and is a threat to the opposition. Now we have Horford, the rich man's Amir Johnson. Jerebko and Olynyk are changes of pace. Our guard and small forward rotations might be the best in the NBA. We now have David versus Goliath centers to counter any of the truly big centers.

Rozier is stepping it up. That is a huge development.

Brown and Crowder. Jae was Hall of Fame caliber for a month or two last year. I believe in Jae and Brown is NBA-Ready for sg-sf backup.

They'll be no more fat Sully slowing us down.

I can't wait until the roster is set. There are some very interesting choices to be made. If you sign Zeller for any kind of deal, you have to play him. So maybe Zeller is gone for the same reason Sullinger is. Upgrades have been made with future reinforcements already in the pipeline.

Jerebko brings a bit of pizazz and change of pace and Olynyk also has high potential for being solid NBA rotation winners.

Kaboom, yes!

And I forgot to mention Brad Stevens. Maybe he wears green goggles like me, but I bet he is licking his chops looking forward to moving up the contender ladder and watch young persons emerge under his tutelage.
