How many games will the 2016 Celtics win?

[Celtics18]

Based on the recent thread started about Steve Bulpett's latest prediction that our Celtics could regress next year, I thought this would be a good time to do a poll to see where we all stand on the Celtics' chances next season.

It depends entirely upon who we draft/sign and how our young talent (Smart, Young, Crowder, KO, Sully, etc.) develops and matures. If the team stays virtually the same, we resign our FAs, and draft guys who are bigger prospects, we'll be in the 30-40 range. If we sign mid-level FAs, like Middleton or Monroe, and draft promising young players who must develop, then we'll be in the 40-45 range. If we bring in a big fish or two (Love, DeAndre, Aldridge, etc.) and/or make a big move in the draft for someone who can contribute early in his career, we'll be looking at 50+ wins and a top 3 seed in the east. As of right now, I'm going to refrain from casting a vote, but this will be a fun and interesting thread come mid-Summer.

Like the above post, way too early to tell with free agency and the draft and seeing how the other teams put together their squads.
I will cast my vote mid April next year

For the purposes of this post, I'm going to assume substantially the same roster, with rookies and cheap FAs in place of guys that expire this summer.

With that in mind, I chose 36 to 40.

way too early to say.

can we repeat this thread in september?

My total unbiased opinion states that we will win 82 games this season.

[BornReady]

depends on free agents signed, players we bring back
though most of the roster will be left intact

but ainge may decide to remove some veterans e.g. bass, wallace to increase playing opportunities for younger players

You forgot to add the 16 games in the playoffs.

Cant believe I forgot the playoffs, but yeah I think your estimation is spot on.

Too early to tell but I have faith in CBS and doubt we will start next season a lot worse off than we ended this one.

All of the games that matter leading to Banner 18;

way too early to hazard a guess without knowing what happens in the draft or free agency this summer or seeing what other teams do in the league to improve themselves. 

[dreamgreen]

WAY to early to predict that, may as well ask how many games the 2020 Celtics will win. I'll take my guess at the end of the summer.

We do not even know the roster, why ask now?  Maybe think less?
