I see the foundation of a Championship team.

We have 2 top 15 3-level scorers, elite multi-position defenders, with substantial playoff experience including 2 ECFs together, and a part of the current #1 5-player lineup and #4 team defense. Flanked by Williams III, who’s become a dominant defensive presence, Smart as another elite multi-position defender, and Horford as the veteran QB, I see reason to be optimistic.

White will have to play well to replace Richardson’s production, but it won’t take much for him and Theis to get better results than the prior bench. Aside from being solid defenders and fitting in seamlessly, White and Theis will keep the moving, which is very important for the culture shift of this team.

Giannis/Bucks and Curry/Warriors didn’t get past the 2nd round until they were 26, but Tatum and Brown have plateaued? I don’t think so.

White is a heck of a player on both sides of the ball and can create for our core guys. This is easily a win for Stevens.
He's very good when that stat wh0re Dejounte Murray isn't playing. Don't mind the addition, at all.

I still remember that game with San Antonio where White torched Big Al on switches with his mid range jumpers. I think he’ll fit in nicely with the Cs. I’m excited to watch the post deadline Celtics. I think PP and Neismith will start getting some action too.

Crazy development story. From not even being able to get a junior college to give him a shot to Colorado as a senior to 1st round pick.

This is really his first chance to be on a contender, probably will become beast come playoffs. I'm kinda all in on this Smart/White/Pritchard rotation...

Yeah, I was thinking you could play Pritchard with either Smart or White. Smart and White are fairly interchangeable.

Depends how quickly he gets to town and gets his physical.  Likely not — he’ll probably pack today and fly out tomorrow.  We probably have a better shot with Theis because he’s been in Boston more recently, so coming back should be less of a shock.  I would expect White on Sunday tho.

Let’s be real here. Barring injury, Pritchard will see the same minutes he has up to this point.

Stop the irrational Pritchard hype. Dude is super likable but is, at least right now, not good enough.

Irrational is saying something I didn't say. I said nothing about Pritchard's minutes. PLEASE RE-READ! I said he'd fit next to either Smart or White. NOT THAT HE WOULD PLAY! PLEASE STOP WITH YOUR IRRATIONAL ASSUMPTIONS! IT'S EXHUSTING!!!

I hate to tell you but PP and Nesmith will both play more then they have all year.  There isn't much of a choice. They also need this time to develop because the C's need 1 of them to become a rotational player.

Nesmith yes, PP maybe not at least not at the PG spot and he is pretty short to play the 2. Beyond that, don’t forget the buyout market.

I still think the C's give minutes to both each game.  See if either will be more then deep bench.  Lots of competition on the buyout market.  Hopefully the C's can grab a better 4th big the the Green Kornet.  Harris would be a nice get but not sure if he will choose the C's over teams like Philly, Brooklyn etc.

Nesmith needs to fix his shot.

I love him and I know it takes time

But what the hell is wrong with his shot, jeez haha. As someone else mentioned he must have one of the worst shots for someone labelled a shooter.
