How will the Celtics improve this off-season?

[gouki88]

If Tatum misses all-NBA the c's will be just about 4 million under the tax for those 11 guys, meaning just using thier draft pick and signing some minimum guys would put you into the tax. So if Fournier returns for like 15 million a year, which may be optimistic, the team will be 20+ million into the tax.

I think he will have to have some strong performances to make all third team all NBA, he is so young he won't get the legacy votes like LeBron.  I think these guys are locks to make it

First Team:

G: Damian Lillard G: Steph Curry F: Lebron James F: Giannis Antetokounmpo C: Nikola Jokic

Second Team:

G: James Harden G: Luka Doncic F: Kawhi Leonard F: Kevin Durant C: Joel Embiid

add Beal,  Paul or Kyrie, Maybe Jimmy Butler, Randle or Tatum? and Gobert.  So definitely not a lock by any means and if they take in the team's performance Tatum might just miss it.

I think Randle is going to make 3rd team over Tatum

Kevin Durant has played 26 of 62 games. Could be a potential omission.

Definitely could happen, Durant could not get the nod.  The media vote for it, which is why I think Randell have an edge.

I don't think Lebron makes the 1st Team or Durant makes any team.  Too many games missed.  Embiid would have the same issue except there aren't any centers good enough to knock him down.

agree with your take completely on those 3.  Lebron doesn't deserve more than 3rd team if that due to missed games and well, he's not what he used to be.  I could see a real argument for Randle to make first team.   Depending on if they insist on JB being a guard of if they allow him to be considered as a forward, I think he merits consideration over Tatum this year.
