1: James Young is essentially a rookie but with the added benefit of a year of nba life seasoning.
I expect him to make folks take notice this year.
2: something's got to give; Smart, IT, Bradley, Young, TR, RJH, and Turner. By my count that's 7 players at the 1 and 2.
3: Rumors of T Harris have me excited but is he a 3 or 4? I'm happy to sign him as long as CBS can find minutes for Young.
4: Greg Monroe and Oly are a great pairing on offense. Defense? Not so much.
5: There are only so many superstars and we ain't got any. CBS's job is to get his players to buy into the team concept and become more than the sum of their parts.
6: sully and Bradley are my bet for the next players out the door. Let's just hope the return nets us a center...
7: fireworks, sparklers, pro tank, anti-tank. I don't give a flying donkey. Bleed green and carry on.

I'm down with number 7.  Bleed green and play to win.  I'll leave the rest to the guys who are paid to know better.

I am only expecting small improvements from James Young. I think it'll be his 3rd year before he starts to make some noise ... just because his defense is so bad and needs so much work. Not much of a passer either. Too reliant on his scoring to get on the court.

In regards to #2, it seems like at least one piece will move before the season, but if not, it's not a big deal. Though Turner plays distributor, he's still a 3. Rozier and Hunter are rookies and so they probably won't receive much action anyway. James Young can also play the 3 spot as well, so it amounts to IT, Smart, and Bradley receiving the bulk of the minutes at guard, with others coming in for situational purposes (small ball) or injuries.

As for #6, Bradley could be traded since his value is still pretty high. But I think Ainge holds off on Sullinger until he rebounds for his contract year. Right now his value isn't as high as it should be, but if he improves during this upcoming season, that's when we'll see him either moved or signed for a long-term deal.

1: James Young is still young. 20 years old so I expect the flip of what Smart gave you some shining offense but defense that gets him in the hot seat. But he should get 12mins a game this year. 7-9pts a game.
2: something's got to give of course and it will. Dallas, Houston and Chicago all look like good trade partners given their and C's draft. Think DA will make his choice on who he deals when FA shakes down. If C's fail expect a blow up with IT and AB on the block. If FA is a success then Rozier and Sully/KO will be traded.
3: Not excited about T Harris but he can play well and can possibly be a player that continues to improve. I see him as a half court 3 or running team 4 which makes him a fit for teams running both. CBS can find minutes for Young in 3 min spurts at end of 2nd and end of 3rd going a few minutes into 4th.
4: Greg Monroe and Oly are a great pairing on offense. Defense? Not so much. Agreed but Sully and KO may have improved their D some, we will see.
5: No matter the player CBS's job is to get his players to buy into the team concept and become more than the sum of their parts.
6: There will be some trading not betting on an thing though.
7: fireworks or pro tank. I want C's to be great soon and not mediocre. Red savvy and Celtics pride.
