If the Celtics don't repeat and anyone in their right mind think it was because they did not have Walker I don't know what to tell you. If you are banking on Walker for a repeat, well, it's not happening anyway.

Anyone thinking Pritchard hitting a few half court heaves will be enough bench offense in this year's playoffs is delusional. We will be going up against much better teams, and a guy off the bench who can win you playoff games is exactly what every playoff team needs. Doubtful we find a better 15th man who would make more of an impact in the playoffs than Lonnie.
If Brad doesn't have something up his sleeve with some bench depth this season, this could go down as his worst move as GM.

I'm confused. Didn't the Celtics have a bench player slot right into the starting line up when their star big man got hurt, play 30 minutes every night and win them multiple games (at minimum game 5 vs the Cavs and game 3 vs the Pacers) ?

I think waiving Lonnie was was the best thing for Lonnie with NY and LA rumored to be interested. Denver is crazy if they don't at least inquire as well. I wish him the best as long as he's not playing us.
