Revisiting Last Fall

[Moranis]

If Simons was better maybe they could have gotten more for him than Vuc.  But that is about the only thing that was at least realistic thst could have been improved

Is there a single thing that we could have hoped for that didn't go our way?

Vuc injury?

Drafting Maxime Reynaud instead of the trade back for Amari Williams?

Celtics are a tax team with Reynaud.

I don't know if that's necessarily true.  If we'd taken him at #32, sure.  But, if we'd traded less far back or had done the original deal and then moved up when Reynaud was falling, there's a good shot that he would have signed a 2-way.  The guy taken immediately before him and the next few after him all took 2-way deals.

6 short months ago, I was saying this team would win 34 games tops. I didnt see this coming AT ALL. They proved me wrong and I loved every minute of it.

The only thing I accurately predicted was the ascendance of Scheierman. Believed in that dude since we drafted him.

Did not believe in Hugo, Walsh, Queta, Garza, or Mazzulla, and Im sorry.

Third to the last one sounded like something I would write. Still got it on my sig.

Though I must say, there were some improvements this season with what he had to use. But the live by the 3, die by the 3 mentality is still there and that is what doomed Boston last year (and Tatum's Achilles), esp the first two home games.

I remember back in the early Fall days half of us were fantasizing AJ Dybantsa after starting 0-3 and the choo choo train

I think it is unlikely he would have taken a 2-way.  Willingness to take a 2-way is one of the things you are allowed to officially discuss with an agent prior to the draft, and I would bet that his agent said he would not sign it, which may be why he fell a little in the 2nd.  No way of knowing, of course, but given that he signed a full deal in the midst of a bunch of 2-ways, there is some evidence.
