I think that letting go of Turner would be a huge loss. He is the only person who can facilitate on this team.

I agree Larry. If Turner and the Celts can agree on a discount then I would be happy to see him come back.
If that be the case then I would put him starting at SG and move Smart into back to the 2nd team playing PG and SG with the hopes he will improve his long-range shooting. Even so, I do believe Smart will become trade bait sometime this year.

Overall, if the Celts can pull all those moves off, they can be a well blended/ much improved 55-60 win team. injury pending of course.

I don't know if I agree with the Favors trade though. In that lineup he would be the number 1 scoring option. Because to me Thomas is much better suited as a number 2 or number 3, it showed in the playoffs that if defenses take him out of the game then he is kind of useless. So if we are going to move players it needs to be for someone that is better suited at being a number one option.

What I am saying is that we need someone that we can give the ball to at the end of the game and trust that he will be able to give us a great shot at winning the close games. Like what Pierce did for all those years. And with that team you still have to count on Thomas which I don't think is a great idea.

Just imagine a team with an actual go to scorer and Brad Stevens' late game plays? That would be insanely hard to defend.

The Jazz won't let Favors go for that. Three nickels for a quarter.
