Celtics: The Back Up Plan to Gordon Hayward: Danilo Gallinari and Paul George
The Celtics will comeback even stronger next year, that's for sure.
Already the top team in the east at least in the elimination round, the Boston Celtics led the by the smallest man with the biggest heart, Isaiah Thomas made an impact to the east as they showcased the new and improved Celtics team.
This upcoming season, expect an even better Celtics as they have won the top pick overall in the 2017 NBA draft at the same time having the salary cap luxury to sign big names in the free agency market.
There are a lot of things they can do as they can move puzzles left and right depending on the direction they want to take. There are a lot of interested teams in the first pick of Boston and they can opt to trade that pick for a current big name that would make a big impact right away. This is not far from happening as the draft pool is point guard heavy and the Celtics already have two good point guards in Bradley and Isaiah Thomas.
From the news we are getting it looks like the Celtics is looking to add an impact player in the small forward position. Names of Paul George, Gordon Hayward and now Danilo Gallinari has float around the rumor heaven.
While these are great players don't you think Celtics should concentrate in getting a defensive player to counter LeBron James?
Whatever happens, the offseason of the Celtics will be fun and exciting!
