NOW!
 All the slow,ungainly and non athletic are gone
Everywhere we have fluid ,athletic ,strong players.
We have length,strength and vertical finally
Put Baynes in with strong tough guys

Sometimes it hurt to watch Kelly,jerebko Amir and Zeller.
Brad was a miracle worker and Ainge was 100% right in his assessment of talent '

Young couldn't dribble with his right or hit his threes
Jerebko had slow release and had lost his lift leaving him with straight line drives into a ungainly hook shot,
Kelly and that God awful pump to a travel or getting caught awkwardly in paint unable to close
,Amir had to wind up forever to shoot a three and had a collection of below the waist shovel hooks when dumped with a last ditch pass and when he hit the floor he looked brittle like he. would shatter
.Zeller after his first season and hitting his mid range like a foul shot and being almost automatic with flip hooks righty or lefty, At the end he became a broken player and just continued regressing and was left bankrupt of any confidence.
Fat sully,short Isaiah,,a 7 footer T Rex,a too skinny RJ that couldn't shoot along with James who
 couldn't shoot(but nice stroke) or play defense(at the end he tried)
With Turner gone,there was nobody but isaiah and green who could create.

You are talking about the #1 team in the East last year that made it to the ECF - we weren't exactly garbage.

Guys like KO, Amir, even JJ were productive players that fit very well into Brad's system. And, you know, IT was a borderline superstar (at least for a season).

I, too, am looking forward to our future. Danny has turned his medium assets (plus the BKN pick) into young, exciting, athletic, all-star caliber players across the board. It will be an exciting time to be a Cs fan, but it has also been an exciting time to be a Cs fan.

I get the point. On paper we should be an improved team. Some of the main short comings of last years team have been addressed.

We may have some bumps early, but all in all we should be a better playoff team.

I'm excited.

Isaiah had a an offensive season that was other worldly,-we had a tough perimeter defense and a great coach and a very good horford and crowder shot well to go along with defense
Isaiah is possibly out till all star game and we would have had to play without him,crowder and hayward were going to possibly collide and then the Brinks truck
Avery could only play shooting guard and is only 6-2 and was not known as a passer or creator of dribble
Marcus shot poorly last year AGAIN,we did not have rebounding or a rim protector  BUT WE HAD ISAIAH AND DEFENSIVE CHEMISTRY AND BRAD STEVENS-and a good dose of luck when Rondo went down.

Oh, I am not discounting your post. I am definitely looking forward to next season; we have cleared out a number of people who were 'specialty' types or had totally reached their ceiling. What we have to look forward to in the future (at least as of now) is unlimited, untapped potential. I suppose it could all fall apart, but everything would have to go wrong for that to happen. We look awesome!

I just want to make sure that we don't completely throw our previous players under the bus. They played their hearts out for the city/franchise. We can be happy with what's to come without disparaging those who came before them.

i agree and i apologize for that-TP
Did you see the defensive movement of semmi . His 40 inch vertical ,he was 3rd in lane agility,8th in sprint . Can knockdown threes and has incredible work ethic.In my opinion from tapes a STEAL
Yabusele  another physical freak of nature,even Nader has a 7-1 wingspan
Rozier has burst and those long arms, he could have a breakout year-i'm sure watching Kyrie will help his offensive game.
We got so many draft picks still coming.
