How about we trade for Myles Turner! Or we could have just drafted him if we hadn't held onto stupid role players after the trade deadline: Bass, Jonas, Gigi, Crowder. 3 games people, and we could have drafted Turner/Winslow.
I'm glad we didn't tank. That's not the Celtics way.
Nor should it be!
Who said tank? I said waive the players, after the trade deadline, that are not in our future after we had no use for them and they had no value in trades. Danny underestimated CBS and btw CBS does not tank, he coaches every game to win...So I am not worried about us having a losing culture ..
Also the plan was to open space for younger players and James Young at the time. CBS had never heard of Jonas. Instead we let 3 contract year role players and Gigi play us out of the lottery and into a broom sweep.
Getting swept is not the Celtics way.....ONLY CHAMPIONSHIPS MATTER. WE DO NOT HANG DIVISION TITLES LIKE OTHER TEAMS, WE RAISE CHAMPIONSHIP BANNERS.
Just because I didn't want veterans padding their stats for their next gig somewhere else I am pro tanking....
