https://medium.com/@rbernardoni/boston-celtics-offseason-preview-4997986e3915Let's not pretend Wyc isn't who he is. He ain't taken no major continuous tax hit for this team (not THIS one!). We are going to have to start playing and developing our less expensive talent in our Top 8-10 and shuttle some other guys out. Before the new CBA, Brad had this team setup nice. Now everything we thought we new about this roster is obsolete in terms of ceiling and in terms of CBA implications. JD Davison probably needs to play next year. Hauser probably needs to play more next year. Gallo/Muscala too. We've got too much expensive talent that we can no longer afford.
This guy has basically jumped the shark. Basically every poster here knew the major extensions looming for Tatum/Brown would pinch the rest of the roster in terms of salary.
Last off-season his big recommendation was they try to land Torrey Craig, then the team went out and spent on Malcolm Brogdon. He seems to think they didn't plan on the new add-ons to the CBA, while not mentioning they came very close to adhering to that model for this year already. They signed gallo and traded for Muscala, a couple of around the edges moves that obviously weren't core to the team.
Fact is they are much more well set up to handle the new CBA than many teams going forward.
