3. Show players value

Also by resting your stars, you give certain guys a chance to show what they can do. When you have an upcoming free agent on your roster it is always smart to put him in the best position to succeed.

Talks between Terry Rozier and the Celtics haven’t gone anywhere. It seems like it is going to a waiting game until the offseason (or maybe not).

Maybe Danny Ainge has some tricks up his sleeve. I honestly couldn’t blame Ainge for trying to get rid of Rozier. I would rather get something in return rather than just letting him walk away in free agency.

By showing what Rozier can do you increase his trade value and I am confident in trader Danny’s abilities.

So it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the Celtics to rest their stars and give other guys a chance to sign. It worked for the San Antonio Spurs all those years.

Next. The push for Anthony Davis has begun. dark

Boston’s eyes should be on a championship and not being the best team in the regular season.
