Charles Dickens opening to a Tale Of Two Cities is the perfect to judge the Celtics 16-17 season. The Celtics had the best of times with Isisiah Thomas having a historic season, and becoming one of the most beloved Celtics of All-Time. Their best of times continued with them over achieving and overtaking the Cavs record wise as the best team in the Eastern Conference. Their worst of times wouldn’t come to fruition until deep into their playoff run with the death of Thomas sister, and his __- injury that would keep him out for most the Eastern Conference Finals. When teams are usually eliminated in a sweep or in five games they’re usually faced with many questions of uncertainty , like any other franchise the Celtics are faced with difficult …show more content…

Adding George with a Nucleus of Thomas, and Horford will give Boston a formidable Big Three to push the incumbnadent Eastern Conference heavyweights- the Cavs to possibly six or seven games. The addition of George would put them in a win now situation, with that they would have to add depth to their roster to make a serious run to the NBA Finals. They’re some cap friendly veteran players that will benefit Boston, free-agents such as Kyle Korver, Shaun Livingston, J.J.

These players aren’t spring chickens, but they’re playoff tested and the veteran presence, mixed in with the youth that Boston currently has might be the perfect match.

Markelle Fultz Is the consensus number 1 pick on most mock drafts boards. He has the potential to be so great that recent rumors had Boston trading their current superstar Thomas in favor for Fultz. I think Fultz and Thomas can coexist in the same backcourt, Fultz was a point guard in college, however I think he will thrive in the NBA as shooting guard with everyone playing small ball. Fultz doesn’t need Thomas to create a shot for him, he can create his own shot off the dribble, and if Thomas is out the game he can be the teams primary ball handler, and the second option on offense. Fultz fits into the modern NBA because he shoots the three at a decent rate, and he can slash and attack the rim like James Harden. If the Nets continue to struggle just like they did this year Boston might have another top 3 pick coming their way in
