In response to the "Not as optimistic of this team as some" thread, I thought we should provide perspective to this offseason by considering the Celtics future beyond 17-18.
I think the Celtics will pass CLE once Lebron hits the road, and should contend for the ECF for years. Other teams to consider: MIL, WASH, TOR, and PHI. Barring any major moves, I think the Celtics are better than all of them.
Does anyone think that the Celtics do not have a promising future? I'd be curious to hear this rationale.
