The Celtics have tons of money committed to those two guys plus poor zingus now on a two year extension, which is a deal that I don't really like. Now they go through the process of seeing what this team is and it's going to be a very good team, no matter what. And if they're both good offensive players and good defense players, you get within two wins of the finals. It's not like this. Yes, the Celtics have this air of disappointment around them for how this season ended at the hands of the heat for how they lost three straight games to the Warriors and the finals.
