Would really love to see the Celts draft this kid and pair him with Jaylen --full time, starter minutes.
Yes, I'm advocating rebuild mode. Yes, I'm saying ship IT and his phoney-baloney numbers outta town asap
The current Celts are deeply flawed and cannot beat the good teams of the East when those teams are healthy. It's been proven over and over again. It's like Groundhog day.

I wanna get off this carousel of mediocrity and go with a legit youth movement.

Really?

What Boston Celtics have achieved in the last year:

- Came within one game (GSW beating Cavs) of signing Kevin Durant
- Beat Cavs, Warriors
- Thomas having one of the greatest seasons in Celtics history
- Brad Stevens picked as All-Star coach
- Avery Bradley having All-Defence season
- Second in the East within two games of first

I've quite enjoyed our 'carousel of mediocrity'.

If we win the lottery...

1 IT
2 Fultz
3 Brown
4 Griffin (FA)
5 Horford

Not a bad lineup.
Or let's say we trade Bradley 2018 Nets pick + extras for Butler.

1 IT
2 Fultz
3 Butler
4 Griffin (FA)
5 Horford

Based off talent alone, that's a real contender!!

I completely disagree with the idea that we are on a carousel of mediocrity, but some of your points are shaky.

Weve beaten the Cavs and Warriors 2x each which is nice, but despite their dominance, those franchises have combined to lose 70 games in the last 2 seasons.

Its possible KD signs here if GSW win, but its not a fact.

Thomas has been good, but great seasons and mediocrity are far from mutually exclusive. Pierces '06 season was brilliant. We werent very good.

Brad wasnt picked. 2nd place coaching staff goes by default.

All-defense is whatever.

This one is very good point.

You cant be on a carousel of mediocrity when you are about to cash in on your second consecutive top 4 pick. Even if we were a 30 win team, we wouldnt be on the carousel of mediocrity. We are in danger of being on the carousel of really really good and with some luck we could find ourselves on the carousel of championship contention.

Fultz forces a trade of one of the guards which sucks, but he seems like a stud.

If we win the lottery I'd pick Jackson or Ball.  Both of them seem more like top line talents than Fultz to me.

Fultz reminds me of Derek Rose, and not sure how I feel about that.

Eh, not entirely.  Both big point guards who have a knack for acrobatic finishes around the basket.  Young Derrick Rose was a better athlete than Fultz (and was one of the most explosive athletes the NBA has ever had) but Fultz has a more well-rounded game IMO - slightly better passer and rebounder, much better shooter, more effort on defense than Rose ever gave.

If Avery is traded, I think its likely Fultz starts next to Isaiah by the end of the season.

How many playoff games have the Celtics won in the last few years??  Like two??
Playoff series??  Zero....
Not sure what definition of mediocrity you go by.

Are you privy to Brad and Danny's conversations?
