Today, we turn to a second installment of a recent article about the Boston Celtics put together by Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley that examines a range of possible outcomes for the team this season. It asseses each outcome using different criteria to determine whether the outcome realistically qualifies as a hot take.
In the first, we examined the import of recuperating Celtics center Robert Williams III to Boston’s defensive prospects, and today we stay in the team’s frontcourt with more of an eye toward potential cap concerns. Namely, is it a hot take to say that rising reserve forward Grant Williams is pricing himself out of the future of the Celtics with his play so far this season?
“The Celtics had a chance to secure Williams’ future on a long-term extension this offseason, but they couldn’t make the numbers work,” begins Buckley’s argument.
Tatum spoke on Coach K’s recruitment trip to his home in Missouri and a couple of times where the now-retired Hall of Fame head coach pushed some choice buttons to motivate the Celtics star. https://t.co/1Cg68X5G56
