Everyone thought the Boston Celtics were going to trade up for a franchise changing player in the draft, but they didn’t. Then, everyone though the Celtics would make an immediate and big splash in free agency and they also have not done that yet. There is still time for the Celtics to make a signing but more and more it appears as though the Celtics will have to fall back on their depth in order to win next season.
Before you start to worry that the Celtics’ starting unit will never be able to keep up with the best teams in the East, you should realize that they should have the best bench in the east.
