Part 6/9:
Proposals for Change and Roster Adjustments
The discussion proposed various potential directions for franchises post-playoffs. For the Celtics, shifting their roster significantly might be necessary if the current nucleus fails to yield results. This included a bold proposition: consider trading for a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo to transform their team dynamics fundamentally.
However, Bucher was cautious, emphasizing that simply acquiring another star may not be the panacea for Boston’s struggles. The conversation pointed out the critical need for players to contribute in the mid-range game, an area the Celtics have noticeably struggled with, especially with the absence of Kristaps Porzingis.
