I know I am early, but if the Celtics want to contend for a title and not just be a consistent playoff team, what is the plan? What is the front office trying to achieve? I am genuinely confused.
I am certain that this current roster (in a weak east) will make the playoffs. There will not be a high lottery pick waiting for Boston come the end of this season. Nor do the Celtics have that young player who is about to make a leap into stardom.
Next season, Tatum will be 28, Brown will be 30 and White will be 32. The Celtics should be in win now mode or looking to rebuild, not in-between.
