The Boston Celtics narrowly failed in their quest for an NBA title and barely finished the season, Brad Stevens et Ime Udoka had listed the needs of the team: more playmaking, as well as more experience and scoring off the bench. Needs that they seem to have fulfilled with the very interesting arrivals of Malcolm Brogdon et Danilo Gallinariwhich should raise the level of the second unit.
Present in Las Vegas, Jayson Tatum spoke about these arrivals and he seems enthusiastic
“It’s great, it’s great for our team,” said Jayson Tatum. “Of course it’s sad to see our brothers go, Theis and Aaron, but we’ve improved. They are two veterans who have proven themselves and are ready to help us to reach the next level. So I’m excited to have these guys. »
Obviously the leaders were consulted about these moves.
“I am invested with the Celtics. Me, JB, Smart, and others are giving our perspective on what might help us get through the hurdle next season,” Tatum explained. “They told me the few options they were looking at and the players they were watching for free agency.
Tatum welcomed the newcomers with a short message while waiting to be able to find them on the court, probably during the summer or before the training camp.
“I texted them, like, ‘I’m glad to have you on the team. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to contact me. I can’t wait to see you in the hall.’ » Tatum
Time will tell if these two rookies were the ones the Celtics were missing, but on paper these two picks seem like great picks.
