The Boston Celtics have a very bright future.
This team will future Luol Deng and Tyler Hansbrough. These are likely to be the top two offenseive weapons on the team inside and out.
Add some nice role players like Pavel, Torin, Rudy Fernandez, and Kirk Snyder will all look to improve while Micah Downs will look to make an immediate impact in his first season in Boston.
Now the Celtics will turn to free agency. They are keeping their fingers crossed that Luke Ridnour, Jared Jefferies, and Brian Cardinal will re-sign with the team. Plus Boston is pursuing former fan favorites Earl Watson, Skitti, and Joel Pryziblia.
GM rommie said things along those same lines in a short interveiw: "I think that we have added some nice pieces in the draft. Getting some help inside scoring the ball and taking a nice swingman later on in the 1rst round. Now we are focused on re-signing Luke, Jared, and Brian and also adding Earl, Joel, and Skitti. We hope to get some deals done there. We are optomistic.
Skitti, who got his oppurtonity to shine in Boston, said this on the possiable return: "I will take the best offer. But one thing Boston has in it's corner that no other team has, other than Phoenix, is that I am comfortable there. Boston gave me an oppurtontiy to shine, I know I would still be there if they didn't want to win. So they are defentily at the top of my list."
Coach Bob Knight said this about Boston: "I know that these young men have potentiol to be a team. They are going to have to want it and show they want it by putting in the hours in the gym."
The Celtics have great potentiol to be a success. The players are still looking to find their place in the league since they all are young but they will have a great oppurtonity. Will the Celtics win in 08? I highly doubt it. The Celtics might make a trip to the lottery to get Larry Bird or Magic Johnson. But looking ahead to 2009 the Celtics will have their eyes not on anyone in the draft, not on anyone in free agency, not on anything but winning their first BBS championship.
