Well it is too early to make a final conclusion, but it appears Boston is still very good. I think they may run into the same problem as last year though when the playoff arrives. One of the things so shocking about the Jaylon Brown trade is it felt like a loss for Brad Stevens. Stevens has been so good, and it made it hard to try to justify the trade after it happened. Just felt like a bad gamble. Well, so far the Celtics look great. Maybe not a true contender, but probably high in the next tier. They have more flexibility moving forward with draft picks (one being the Clippers, I believe).
Maybe George gets hurt next week, but so far the drop off between him and Brown has not been huge.
