Boston doesn't need average players. Celtics need stars.

If Irving walks it’s a rebuild.

Rozier, Brown, Tatum, Hayward, Horford, smart and a load of firsts doesn’t feel like they need to rebuild.

Likely not rkenne, they would still have enough veteran and young talent, along with trade assets, to make a few moves and stay in contention.

If Irving walks they will re-sign Rozier and go with the team that done well in the 2018 playoffs when Irving was injured.

They will still make a deal for AD. Not sure they will resign Rozier, especially at the kind of money he is looking for.

Rozier is going to get about the same amount as Smart got. Demand for starting PGs throughout the league is pretty low and I am not sure Rozier can move the needle by himself.

If Irving is gone and they bring back Rozier, I don't think they need to do break it down, even if there's no other trades. That team tends to play the way Brad wants them to, and that's huge.

I really think there was a bit of contention this year with Stevens not being able to do what he wanted to do. In years past he's been very Popovich-like in the fact that his coaching was as important as the players execution, and the players knew it and bought in no matter how talented they were.

I think, for example, if any of the players in the past acted the way Kyrie did in the Bucks series they probably wouldn't have seen the floor in Game 5, but front office types had basically told Stevens not to annoy Kyrie over the course of the season and it ate at the team from the inside out.

With him gone, hopefully the rest of the players will remember that buy in that almost got them to where they wanted to be last season and start anew, not continue the me-first garbage that ruined this season. That needs to be the main topic of all the exit interviews, and anyone who's not on board needs to be rotated out.

Do this after the AD trade to add depth that was used in getting AD?
