Are you kidding me?

This guy was one of the bright stars of last season. How much did he sign for? We better be setting up for a huge tankaloosa next season because that is the only thing that looks like any plan here.

I think the plan is: if we aren't going to compete for a championship, compete for the lottery. We are in year one of a multi-year rebuild. No surprises here (actually, I'm surprised we were able to get a TPE for Humphries).
We are in year two of the rebuild.

We'll see what further moves will be done, but none of the moves so far are "compete for the lottery" types of moves.

1-4 we have a very solid group of players, with a lo to depth (except in the SF position so far). And we acquired a decent young center.

If you guys are having expectations for the lottery, you'll be severely disappointed. But who knows what further moves will be made, and personally if we don't make the playoffs with this team and Brad Stevens is coaching in earnest, I'm going to start having serious doubts about his coaching ability (with the assumption of a healthy roster).

All moves though have been geared towards collecting assets while maintaining 2015 flexibility. None so far have been moves that deteriorate our roster, but the opposite if anything.

This move was made so we can keep Pressey.  Hopes are that after taking 2000 3 point shots next season he'll boost his accuracy to 7%.  If that doesn't get the Celtics a lottery pick, then nothing will.

Would anyone on here be interested in getting boozer here on the cheap?  Seeing as he's still getting his 15 mil from Chicago

To be honest, I would really like for anybody here to try to explain to me how our team is NOT better right now than it was last season.

We have lost Hump and Bayless.

We have added Smart, Young, Thornton and Zeller and will mostly likely see improvement from our current prospects (Sully, Olynyk, Pressey, Bradley).

I don't really think there is a need for Boozer on the Cs... Just like there was no need to keep Hump around. Boozer will just take minutes away from the young guys the Celts are trying to develop.
I think Boozer would probably prefer to be on a contender too. Sadly, the Cs are not gonna contend this season.

I agree

Plus at this point in his career, I'm not convinced Boozer is any better than Sully

To respond to the OP. I'm pleasantly suprised we got something from him. His position was crowded, and we need the minutes elsewhere. I wish him well an Washington.

right now we're just above the tax line and we have more talented PF's on the roster.

I think Bass will be next or be involved in a bigger trade. He really would help a contender and since he's not in our long term plans Id be happy with it.

We have added Smart, Young, Thornton and Zeller and will mostly likely see improvement from our current prospects (Sully, Olynyk, Pressey, Bradley).

And Rondo is now fully healed and will be back for a full season...

But, the argument is not so much that the Cs haven't improved, but whether or not the team has improved enough relative to other teams in the league for it to make much of a difference in terms of the standings. I'd argue that the changes you and I describe above are ultimately pretty incremental. Whereas other teams in the East have made some pretty significant changes (Charlotte, Washington, Cleveland, perhaps Detroit), and the "negative changes" to teams like Miami and Indiana aren't enough such that they are in tank mode.

I loved Hump his game is ugly but so important to a team. In saying that, he did not have a place on this team that currently is not a contender and won't be for the foreseeable future. I'm glad he signed with the wizards because it gives him a chance to compete and we now have a less crowded frontcourt.

Moot point, somebody will put in a bid for him (we can't, we'd have to be under the cap). 

Either way I don't think Boozer makes sense here.
