Celtics 16/17 - biggest weaknesses?

[chambers]

I think it is scoring and shooting, putting the ball in the hole.  Horford will help some with that.   I think he sacrificed some of his game for Milsap, I also this is true on the boards.

Sully and Turner provided a decent amount of offense for us.

I won't miss Sully, or his .44% shooting.   That is beyond poor shooting for a PF/C.   How can guys think we will miss that poor of a shooter?  We may miss his boards, but not his clanging ill-chosen threes early in the shot clock but I think Al will more than makeup for him.  Go look at head to head matchups between Sully and Al Horford and you will see that Al is the much better player. 

Think about how Jared left here, does that really make you think that Ainge or CBS thought his services were necessary?  There also was little interest league wide, someone could have easily over paid and we would not have matched.   He left for peanuts and was not in wide demand.

I agree on Turner, I hope Brown can help by driving and drawing some fouls.   I doubt he will replace Evan but he should help and may give us another guy who can penetrate and kick out.

Sullinger still scored 10 points a game for us with 8 rebounds, 2 assists and one steal per game. He also had excellent passing out of the post and found open players very well on the weakside. Just because we didn't keep him doesn't mean he never gave us scoring and helped our offense with his passing/IQ. His rebounding gave us a lot of extra possessions and extra shots.
Just because he has attitude problems doesn't mean he wasn't a very solid contributor to the Celtics for the last 3-4 years.
And just because you hate him and his attitude problems means you should ignore his contributions and treat him like he was a useless bum.

The problem is he put on weight during the year every single season. So you couldn't count on his "solid contributions" after the all star break.

He's absolutely a rotation player in the NBA, but we upgraded his position, so I'd be surprised if we missed his production, since we will be getting better production from his replacement.
