Tempted to go with a "I'll have what she's having" response to this post, but I'll throw out a few predictions that I think are optimistic:
- The Celts trade Bradley and Turner and get a first round pick, an expiring, and a decent rookie contract player in return.
- Marcus Smart finishes the season as the Celts' starting shooting guard of the future with averages in excess of 10 points, 3 reb, 3 ast, 1.5 steals, and 40/33/70. He receives votes for NBA All-Defense.
- Danny is able to consolidate some of the picks and one of the bajillion power forwards on the roster in order to acquire a player who might become a long term fixture in the starting lineup.
- The Nets and Mavericks picks both end up in the lottery, one of them in the top 10, and the Celts have the rights to both.
- Jae Crowder starts at the 3 for most of the season and posts a career best shooting percentage from three point land and at least one three point make per game.
- The Celts finish in the top 15 in offensive rating, defensive rating, and three point percentage. They finish in the top 5 in three point attempts per game.
- The Celts win a playoff game.
- Terry Rozier works his way into the rotation and shows the potential to be a quality NBA player. In limited minutes, he and Smart terrorize opponents on defense and show some chemistry offensively.
