I disagree. That team would be really good but we would still need a versatile big.

Naw, this team sucks.

I don't think the OP has ever seen Hayward play at all if he think he can't shoot.

Ray Allen was a ball-dominant 26ppg scorer when we acquired him. So was Pierce at that time.

There wont be Butlers and Georges...trust me.

I couldn't disagree more.  You're describing a broken team due to 3 ball-heavy players, but then conclude that the entire situation is rectified by swapping IT with CP3.  Is it a diffuse problem / crisis, or is this a personal bias against one player?

Hayward is far from ball-dominant.  My primary concern about him is that he falls into a complementary role at times.  He's too talented for that.  But that becomes a useful quality on a team with 2-3 other all-stars.  He's a fine player off the ball.

The Celtics have asked IT to be ball-dominant.  It's worked out pretty [dang] well because he's been so efficient, and over time (esp this playoffs) has learned when to facilitate vs. attack.  His consistent recruitment of better players also indicates that he's willing to share the wealth.  And yes, he's very good off the ball. 

Butler is the only potential issue I see re: ball dominance.  Like IT, he's probably been expected to carry the offense.  He's fully capable of playing off the ball and I suspect his shooting percentages would increase, but I'm not sure if he'll be happy in that role.  I wonder if he'll relax his ego with age and a desire to win. 

If there's buy-in, that team can absolutely beat CLE as soon as next year, and pose a legitimate challenge to GS.  They're stacked top to bottom, and ring chasers will come calling.  And if Butler can be had for picks, AB/Crowder/Brown/Smart/Rozier is a [dang] fine complementary unit. 

I've come to believe that IT is the least appreciated Celtic of all time.  It's a [dang] shame.  As soon as we were bounced from the playoffs -- inevitably, and only after over-achieving yet again -- his leadership to the #1 seed was quickly forgotten.  There are only a handful of players that are capable of leading a team the way he did.  Just take a look at the "stars" we are considering in FA and trades.

I think the Idea is to have enough star or high scoring capable players to keep two on the court for 48 minutes .   GS always has two great playersmon the floor with three rotation guys . 

Cavs wanted that ...rather Lebron sees thats the key so he and Irving , sit .....two more true scorers , not has been players from 12 years ago can come in and keep up the pressure and points going in the bucket.

I think we have to have minimum of 4-5 guys who can put the ball in the hole ANYTime ,  not part time like AB, Smart or KO .......

I think the whole league sees this now .......Lebron comment when he is GM or owner ...he signs Everybody who is star .....you can t have enough.

Chris Paul is WAY more ball dominant than IT. Just because Thomas shoots more does not mean he's ball dominant.

Jimmy butler is the only one who is ball dominant. Both Thomas and Hayward could be terrific off ball and obviously guys like Horford Crowder and Bradley if they remained in the roster would thrive off ball.

IT is pretty good about doing "something " with he ball other than standing in one spot dribbling.  At least he is probing , dancing , passing , faking , constant movement.   Paul sometimes slows down as slow as Rondo.

For the most part any two will be needed on the floor .  Guys who like IT , Bultler , Pierce , can hit an open shot .....put pressure on the defense to play defense .

Too many good shooter as GS has proved is a good thing .....it wears Lebron out play n 48 mi utes to compenstate
