Did the fireworks happen right before our eyes and we all missed it? Was Kyrie the fireworks? Hayward maybe? We were promised fireworks by Wyc..did it happen without notice. If fireworks go off and no one notices does it make a sound?

Only a magician can shoot off fireworks without a sound.

Is Danny a magician?

Did any of you see the fireworks?

Have the Celtics arrived without ever shooting fireworks?

Tatum - draft pick, Hayward - FA signing, and Kyrie - trade make up possibly the largest array of fireworks in NBA history. It was fair to make fun of the 'fireworks' term when Amir Johnson was our big signing, but I can't think of a more diverse and impactful display of brilliance than what DA brought to us last summer.

I am saying that Danny built the team right before us while we kept complaining about ‘no fireworks’.

The one that went under the radar was Daniel theis. When he was signed, 95% of this board who know everything about the Celtics didn't know who he was and didnt get impressed

then  He showed up in games

Yeah, this. Danny found this guy playing in Germany who'd been there for quite some time, and now he's a legitimate NBA quality backup big. When his threes were falling at the end of his season, he was looking awesome.

Incredibly underrated signing

The firework for me was the Gordon Hayward signing. I remember I spent most of my time on 4th of July refreshing Celtics Blog Forum, twitter and everywhere else for updates.

Remember when Hayward supposedly made his decision and then "kinda rescinded" and then finalized it again later that day?  ;D

If Hayward, Kyrie, and trading the #1 pick weren’t fireworks, I’m not sure what would be.

What a brilliant bit of team building by Ainge.
From Brad to Smart to Brown to Tatum to Horford to Kyrie to Hayward, etc....
I always supported Ainge's moves, unlike some here.
