Boston is a mess, and he's likely gonna walk right out of it to NY.
(bet they're better without him next year, too)
They don’t have a Point Guard though. Other than one playoff series Terry has been worse than most starting guards. Add to that Hayward’s Lack of recovery, their future is on the down slope. They have a couple of mid to late first rounders. Their only mega pick is the Grizzlies pick
You never know. If Kyrie bolts and Rozier stays and is the starting PG, I wouldn't be surprised if he's above average. Confidence and a defined larger role can make a lot of difference.
Also, while I wouldn't mind if Boston suffered, I doubt it. Tatum is going to thrive, sooner rather than later, and Brown is another solid young piece if his role was larger. They just have too many players that deserve minutes, and a lot of the vets (that are playing over the younger guys) have been poorer than expected, not just Hayward. A little of the shine is coming off Brad Stevens, too.
