Celtics finished tied for 3rd in the East last year with a bunch of castoffs and underachievers.
No reason they cant advance to the Eastern Conference Semis or Finals next year with Horford on deck
+ a probable top 3 pick in the next two drafts with Brooklyn being awful
I'd say they're in pretty good shape . Just keep building .
Wouldn't exactly say they were underachievers, they were actually overachievers But they're in a great position. You're pretty much bringing back the same that showed out last year, and adding a very good piece to it, and potentially adding a fantastic piece in KD if that who he chooses.
Serious question, because I saw this a lot during the period when the Wizards and Celtics were the front runners:
Is the Boston Celtics' situation really that much better than Washington Wizards?
The way people were talking, you would've thought Boston already had Durant and the Wizards were a crap team.
The Wizards have 3 of the best 5 players of the two teams.
I just fail to see how people were making Boston a more desirable destination.
The Wizards missed the playoffs with those 3 of 5 best players. It's pretty clear why an FA would choose Boston in the position they're in versus where DC is.
