Another thing that gets overlooked, how much better will he make everyone else? A legit scorer on the floor is going to open up the offense for everyone else on the court, including IT and Horford.
Still not enough to beat a healthy LeBron in a best of 7. An athletic big who can run the floor and protect rim is needed. A guy like Nerlens Noel could've been had for bottom of the roster junk and a pick last season. Would've been a perfect fit.
He is getting overpaid but so are most NBA free agents.
Ainge better pull a leprechaun out of his ass soon or he may not be around to see the culmination of all these picks he has stockpiled.
Naw. Ainge is safe by a mile. Boston loves him. He'll get us there. We have two big guys coming out of Europe who may be just what you are asking for.
The Cs just took another step forward with Hayward. A bona fide scorer. The Cs spread the floor and move the ball as well as anybody. Hayward will get a lot of shots in this unselfish offense.
Does anyone really stop LeBron? The trick is to outscore him and his posse. The Celts now have a better shot than most think.
