I think it is totally fair for non-Celtics fans to remind us of how risky the trade of the #1 pick was. While myself, and other Celtics fans have since put on our green-tinted glasses about it after Tatum's impressive Summer League, we did trade a chance at the consensus best player in this year's draft for one of the next tier players + a pick that could be great, or could be mid-late lottery 23 months from now. I think it is fair to remain skeptical on the return of that trade until proven otherwise.
One thing that does get underplayed with the trade of pick #1 for #3, though, is the extra $2.07M in cap space that it created by lowering the pick slot cap hold on the Celtics books. That was probably instrumental in making signing Hayward possible, so it deserves to be factored in to the offseason positively given how badly the late season salary cap movement screwed the C's plans.
Also, I don't really agree with Nate and Danny's assessment of the Bradley trade. I know they favored moving Smart rather than Bradley, but I think Danny made the right decision on that one. Avery's loss no doubt will hurt, but I think Marcus is even harder to replace and we also have his RFA rights, while Bradley can leave for nothing and is going to command $20M+ per season next summer. Additionally, if some combination of Jaylen and Terry Rozier improve this summer they should be able to step in and replace some of what Avery brought to the team.
I'd give us a B or B+ on the offseason.
Despite disagreeing with there assessment of our offseason, Dunc'd On is by far my favorite NBA podcast. I really like the tone and depth that they go into covering the league compared to other NBA media outlets.
