3. The Boston Celtics don’t need him

I think some people may be underestimating the talent that makes up this year’s Boston Celtics roster. The C’s are going to dominate the Eastern Conference and should make it to the NBA finals.

Jayson Tatum is poised to take the next step in his career. He has all the skills to be a top player in the NBA, and I think we are about to witness something amazing.

Also the duo of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward will be deadly. Can you imagine the points these guys are going to put up? We might even see Irving average close to 10 assists a game. The Celtics have so many quality scorers that Irving won’t be relied on to score all the points.

The Celtics starting roster could be an All-Star team. They would definitely give the Western Conference a run for their money.

So I don’t care if someone has to take Danny Ainge’s phone away from him. The Celtics need to stay far away from Jimmy Butler. All he does is make things worse.
