Celtics best 10 man rotation without George

[KG Living Legend]

 Please post your best 10 or 12 man rotation next year without adding Paul George. If you want to add Hayward or Griffin that's fine I just want to get a good idea of the roster next year without Paul George just too expensive and risky.

 Horford
 Tatum
 Hayward
 Bradley
 Thomas

 Zizic
 Crowder Semi
 Brown
 Smart  Bird
 Rozier

First post, here we go!

With our current roster (without including the potential Hayward/George stuff), I think the strongest starting five would be:

IT
Bradley
Crowder
Tatum
Horford

I think Tatum can play immediately with some success. Considering we don't have any terrific PFs to compete with him, I figure it won't hurt to try him out and see how he does against NBA bigs. The primary concern is how he does with rebounding, but I can't imagine he'll do any worse than our other options.

Second unit is some combination of Smart, Brown, Semi, KO, and Zizic. Possibly throw in Rozier here and there.

How about no Free Agents at all

Zizic/ Olynyk
Horford / Tatum
Crowder/ Ojeleye
Bradley / Brown
Isaiah / Smart

All I know is one of Miranda or KGLL did not give Kmart a tp even though they said they did - bold move 

So far, nobody has Brown starting. Since I see AB getting moved, Jaylen should be able to step right in. If not, he should be starting over Jae by the all-star break. I also don't see a scenario where we don't sign Hayward.

TP for the exquisite detective work. Called out TPs need to be given bros and bras.

 How do you know I didn't give him a teepee since I did I gave him his first one ever. And I know this because I just tried to give him another one and I can't repeat a good act of karma within the hour so how about them apples.

I can't see Zeller coming back, let alone start. That would hurt me. I'd much rather see Yabusele or Theis or literally any random big. But I like your other 10.

Wow someone has a eye. I'll confess it was a DELAYED TP

Yes I would love for Jaylen to start over Crowder. That Simply means he's Improved to the point that's he's giving a similar output or exceeded  what Jae contributes to the team

If Hayward signs then maybe Nader, Allen or one of the other draftees makes it to the roster.

Gotta use those cheap contracts if we plan to keep Isaiah long term

I don't like it either but if C's stike out in FA they can keep Zeller as a salary match contract for the deadline. I hope someone does surpass him on the rotation.

Brown is already better than Crowder and should start. Realistically Tatum won't be starting right away either.

There were points last season where I felt similarly about Brown, but I'd like to see him demonstrate some more defensive awareness and confidence with the ball before I'd play him over Crowder. And I highly doubt Tatum will start, but I hope he sees meaningful minutes because I think his game will translate well on the offensive end sooner rather than later.
