![]() ![]() For now, Celtics fans need to play the waiting game and hope that his patience works out in the long run.Cap breakdowns for players who have been released or served 10-day contracts. The Celtics will be patient and wait for the right deal. If Danny wants to pull off a mega-deal, he can. Remember, the Celtics are loaded with picks in the next four years. There are plenty of teams who could use Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk, or Tyler Zeller, and the Celtics could easily package these guys in a deal. Making roster moves isn’t easy, and a lot of these players are at the same talent level. His trade value may never be higher, and if he isn’t part of their future plans, the Celtics might as well shop him.ĭanny Ainge has a lot of work to do before the season starts. Zeller will be a free agent at the end of the season. He was starter-worthy last season, but with the current depth he will no longer be starting. Zeller is another loser in the Lee and Johnson acquisitions. He averaged 10.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game with a 55% field goal percentage per. Tyler Zeller was a huge surprise last season seeing as he went to Boston as a salary dump move for the Cleveland Cavaliers to acquire Kevin Love. Tyler Zeller Boston Celtics center Tyler Zeller (44) drives past Philadelphia 76ers center Nerlens Noel (4) for a dunk during the first quarter of an NBA basketball game in Boston, Monday, March 16, 2015. He will get called up this season when his confidence is at his highest. He will get no time in the pros so he will be in the D-League. Young players need confidence and it will come as he gets more playing time. He gained 20 pounds this offseason and is still only 19 years old. Hunter both had a better summer league than Young. With James Young, the potential is there, but Terry Rozier and R.J. Turner’s consistency will keep him in Boston. He will still be able to create his own shot, but it won’t come as easy. Turner is most effective when he has the ball in his hands. The Celtics want to use Marcus Smart as the primary ball handler, which puts Turner is an awkward position. He led the Celtics with 7.3 assists per game last season per, and was consistent playing in all 82 regular season games along with 4 in the postseason. After three years, it is time to move on.Įvan Turner is a point forward, and thrived last season in Boston. The additions of David Lee and Amir Johnson means the Celtics are done with Jared Sullinger. He looked like a hippo last postseason, so he knows he needs to be in better shape if he wants to continue his NBA career. When he is healthy, he has the ability to shoot threes and own the glass, but he hasn’t always been healthy. Jared Sullinger’s biggest issues in his NBA career has been constant injuries and weight issues. The Celtics might as well trade him while he is young with some value. ![]() With Jerebko, Olynyk will never get playing time. He was thought to be that guy off the bench, but the Celtics re-signed Jonas Jerebko who is more consistent than Olynyk. His role is a shooting big man off the bench, but the Celtics are loaded with them. Of all seven big man on the Celtics roster, Olynyk is unfortunately the seventh man. If it doesn’t work, he will be a free agent at the end of the season. For the Celtics, it is a pure potential pickup. The Celtics lack size and athleticism, and still being 23 years old gives him some potential. Playing with Russell Westbrook, that is an honor. Kevin Durant said Perry Jones was the most athletic player in the NBA. Jones has size and an athletic gift like no other. I’m sure all of Celtics nation wished the Celtics drafted Perry Jones III over Fab Melo, and I would agree. I don’t see Dragic wearing a Celtics uniform this season. The only reason the Celtics accepted the trade was to acquire a 2020 2nd-round pick to absorb the contract. He adds another contract and is the seventh guard on the roster. Zoran Dragic came to the Celtics from the Miami Heat in the most confusing move this offseason for the Celtics. ![]()
