I think they should trade their older vets, clear the books and tank.
They're irrelevant without Tatum anyway. Might as well rebuild while he recovers.
not so easy i think. horford is expiring so unless he wants to come back for next to nothing i assume he's gone.
kp has 2 years left at 30 a year but he's injured a lot and now has this mystery illness. not sure there will be a good market for him. with the cap situation the way it is, who has an extra 30 mill to use on a player that may not play/be effective ?
and jrue has 3 more years at 35 a year and will be 35 in june. will they have to attach an asset to dump him ? could be.
they might have to dump someone like white to reduce salaries which they pretty much have to. the repeater tax will have them spending like half a bill in salaries i thought i heard if they don't.
I think some team may still be interested in Jrue if they feel they're close to contention or need to establish a culture. Maybe every FO has caught on that he's washed but I think there's always a team that's willing to bank on pedigree. Perhaps Jrue for Fox, or Jrue for Tobias?
KP is an all-around mystery you're right.
I wonder if they shouldn't look to keep White - I think he's arguably their second-best player, and his game should age fairly well. But perhaps you're right and now is the time to dump his contract.
Either way F the Celtics I hope that Tatum comes back healthy but that otherwise they make all the wrong decisions.
