What would we have to do, salary cap wise, to sign Love, Monroe and PP. Those 3 seem to be the ones with some link to us, or have said they are considering us. I know some will say, "but that doesn't win us a title" It doesn't have to day one. But it leaves us with a lot of legit NBA players and our picks to make more deals.

I know one thing, the C's are going to have a bunch of guy's that really defend. It's not going to be a picnic to play the 2015 Boston Celtics at all.

No doubt the Celtics need more scoring, but other than the center position, we have strong, fast, tough, defenders now at PG, SG, SF, and with the addition of Amir, and Mickey at PF too.

By the second half of last season, Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens had put together a very likable group of players that worked hard and often were greater than the sum of their parts.

A very similar group will be taking the floor next season.  We can look forward, at least, to a lot of hustle, hard work, and some scrappy wins.

IMO this type of environment is the best in which to develop young players.

Positive thought: Danny could very well have established our complete backcourt for the next decade with Smart, Rozier, Young, Hunter.  AB and IT could be trade chips next year depending on how the 4 young guys do and Thornton might work out to be usable after a year in Europe.   Turner hopefully becomes expendable as a ball handler after this year (or better yet, during). 

Next year, very good chance of 3 lottery picks if not 4 depending on the Minny youth movement.   of course that's not an optimistic view of how the C's will finish but I just think no one that finished above them last year will drop below them and several teams that finished just behind them will pass them (except the Nets who I anticipate going into a free-fall whether they like it or not).

Longest home winning streak since 08-09, Just smacked the hottest road team not called the Warriors; playing basketball sweeter than Manna from heaven and looking at the 3rd seed in the East. BRAD STEVENS IS GOD!
