Porzingis and Holiday are gone via trade.

Brown will probably be kept for another season due to Tatum injury. But traded next off-season.

Team will be a mess next season.


Called it.

So much for the Boston dynasty.


I’m confident one, if not both of Horford and Kornet are back in green next season.

Niang and Hauser will be moved.

Boston will still be a low playoff seed, will retool next summer and be back in championship contention.

White
Simons
Brown
Kornet/Horford
Queta

Bench: Pritchard, Walsh, Scheierman, Tillman

Probably a 1st round exit depending on how soon Brown gets back, and if Tatum gets back at all (unlikely)

This was case study in how quickly a contender/dynasty window can close.


They better hit absolute home runs in the draft.

They should do a 1 year rebuild similar to the Raptors. If they can tank hard next year they'd have a cheap star to pair with Tatum for years and have two timelines going.

Nobody knows what this C's team will look like at opening night. So hold your horses, I think everything is on the table, from still competing to one of Brown/White being traded to go along with Jrue/KP.
Good assessment:
