During the offseason, every team is recruiting players to prepare for next season. For this year's Celtics , they had a regrettable season. Although they reached the finals, they did not If you can successfully win the championship, there is no doubt that it is still a failure. So they made two very important signings during the offseason. It has been very effective in improving the problems they had this season, and the team's strength has been raised to a new level.
They first got Pacers starting guard Brogdon , and the Celtics did not pay too much in this deal. Most of the players they traded away were players who had no chance to play this year. . Then they got the big pitcher Gallinari. Both of these signings are very targeted. On the one hand, it has improved the Celtics' shooting ability, and on the other hand, their weakest point guard has also been improved.
Brogdon is a very good player. He averaged 19+6 per game last season. Not only is his personal scoring performance very good, he is also very good at connecting the team. He averages 6 assists per game, which shows that he has good passing ability. But even for such an outstanding quasi-All-Star player, after coming to the Celtics, he was willing to give up his starting status and serve as a substitute. It is reported that Brogdon is preparing to serve as the Celtics' sixth man in the new season, and Gallinari will also serve as a substitute. The Celtics will maintain the starting lineup from last season. Two big players will still be allowed to start at the same time, which means that Lowe and Horford will still be the starting four and five positions next season. Many fans think that Brogdon's substitution is indeed a waste.
The Celtics' starting and bench lineups next season will be very strong, especially since many of their bench lineups have the ability to be starters. Since the Celtics have shown very strong strength this season, they have passed all the way in the Eastern Conference and reached the finals. Therefore, if they can spend the regular season smoothly next season and avoid injuries to the team, then entering the season There is no doubt that the Celtics' strength will be significantly improved in the playoffs.
Of course, for the Celtics, next season is also a season where Tatum and Brown must complete their evolution. In other words, the two top picks must polish their ability to connect the team in the regular season next season. In particular, their ability to handle the ball when faced with a double attack after dribbling, including their ability to combine the ball, needs to be improved. Only in this way can we cope with tighter defense in the playoffs and reduce our weaknesses. If they can solve this problem, they will have a better chance of winning the championship.
