Celtics, What Will They Do Next?

It has been an exciting offseason for the Celtics. They have been involved in trade talks for Jimmy Butler and Paul George which ultimately didn't work out but they signed top free agent Gordon Hayward while still hanging out to their lottery picks next year. A team lead by Isaiah Thomas, Gordon Hayward and Al Horford should be good enough to make the Eastern Conference Finals again and give the Cavs a good series, maybe even win and go to the NBA Finals. That's encouraging however I think something bigger can happen.

If I'm the Celtics I would trade draft Picks Jae Crowder Al Horford to New Orleans for Anthony Davis and money to match. Then next off season Sign Paul George. Its been clear that Paul George wants to go to LA when his contract is up but he also wants to be on a contender. I don't see the Lakers or Clippers being in a better situation to compete for a title than Boston as early as next year. The Lakers are young and inexperienced and the competition in the West is far superior to the East. It has also been reported that George wants to play with Hayward. A core of Thomas, Hayward, George and Davis with young players like Brown, Smart and Tatum. Thats a team that will be a serious title contender in the present and future.
