i'm not a fan of them but can't keep myself from my daily checks
brad tries to build a culture of team and players and family
while rumors swirl eroding confidence and stability
Speculation does seem pointless. I watch the games then read some threads and Celtics bloggers that I find personally interesting.
Brad's college player died and he took off a game or two. The Celtics are all about atmosphere. Tommy is still announcing games. Havlicek still pops in unexpected to kick ass and remind the players what the team name on the jerseys mean.
Danny has a reputation as trader Danny after all his shuffling the deck, etc. over the last two and a half years.
It would not be a bad idea to switch strategy back to the classic Celtic idea of stability, the old once a Celtic, always a Celtic, a part of a family.
In Ainge's defense, he has treated all these various rent-a-players well. Prince did seem upset, but on paper, he got a chance to go back to the former team which he loved.
looking for a star makes nobody safe ,matter of fact if you improve or play better you become more of a target and more valuable chip-
ainge has his job -win a championship
I am not sure this plays into it. But there must be something to Isaiah and Avery being long-term friends. If one of them is moved, it could upset established chemistry.
Thankfully a lot of contracts are running out. It might be in Danny's interest to stop trying to squeeze something, anything out of expiring assets. Making too many trades will not help this year.
If Danny can move Sully and Turner, that could help with chemistry. It would be a leap of faith if we don't get back a pg for Evan. It would be a leap of faith to rebound well without Sullinger. But those types of little moves could have the same effect as moving Rondo and Jeff Green. It would make the players remaining have clearer roles and there could be a lot more camaraderie and structure. Guys like Zeller, Jerebko, and the rookie Mickey could duke it out for Sully minutes not added to Olynyk and Amir, my two choices for who should represent the front court. I noticed Amir played extra minutes in the last game. I liked that. Maybe his feet are not as bad as it seemed when it came out he has plantar fasciitis.
i enjoy celtics as an over achieving bunch that finds a way to win and doesn't quit
i quess i would vote for incremental growth through a combination of draft selective trades and free agency
that do not effect our defence of crowder,smart ,bradley and then kelly and isaiah
This team has formed a core identity. Hopefully Danny has evolved and will not make any knee-jerk moves.
Perhaps keep Sully and Turner and keep going with what Brad has settled on for his ten player rotation.
Evaluate them from now to the end of the season? Give Sully and Turner more chances to state their case for new contracts within Celtics Pride? I don't think they fit in. They do for this year in a Cinderella way. That might be it. I am starting to give Marcus Smart a higher ceiling than most to handle point guard. If he can, why is there any need for Evan Turner? If we can handle rebounding without Sully, why would we want him on the team?
