Finally it was Jaylen Brown s turn to take charge?

Welcome back to the Shisan Arena.

The Celtics' championship window was temporarily closed as Tatum fell down.

They react quickly and operate more decisively.

Holiday and Porzingis were soon sent away.

Among them, Anthony Simmons, who was exchanged for the former, is basically the bargaining chip for the next transaction.

Nian, who was exchanged for the latter, has been sent away again and has become this year's rookie RJ Louis.

also let Horford and Connet go away. In addition to the extremely vacuum in the inside, it basically declared that the team entered a semi-reconstruction state. The reason why

is semi-rebuilding, not a complete reconstruction, is because there is Jaylen Brown in the team.

Last season, Brown's average score per game dropped to the lowest in the past five years, but the assists reached the highest level in his career.

Compared to Tatum, the role he played since he entered the industry has been purer and simpler - most second-in-commands are the same.

Last season, he took on more transfer balls and leadership tasks, and the results were quite good.

If it weren't for his decline in his touch, this book might have been a season of his transformation.

But next season, Brown may really face a big career test. After Tatum was injured, he finally had the opportunity to play the first core of the team.

He will get more ball rights and more mobile phones; it also means that he will face a more severe defense.

This will inevitably further test his ability to handle the ball, and it also requires him to assume greater responsibilities, show stronger performances, and prove that he deserves that super maximum salary.

In the short term, the Celtics may not be willing to move Brown - unless they really have a chance to get a player of the letter level.

But because they are in the Eastern Conference, no matter how declining their lineup is, it is unlikely that they will be able to beat the Nets, Hornets and Wizards in their record.

Then, letting Brown lead the team to strive for his limits is not impossible.

Even if the team will move him in the future, he still needs to play a convincing enough performance to be able to get a considerable return.

At the very least, he has to return to the best team level. Beyond Brown, the Celtics' most valuable asset is White.

As one of the league's best guards at blocking, White averaged 16.4 points, 4.5 Rambo, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks last season, with a shooting percentage of 44.2% + 38.4% + 83.9%.

and averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game, tied for the 6th in the league with Poole, Tatum and Doncic - and White's shooting percentage is the highest among these four players.

Offensive end, he is becoming more stable and tough, and he is still versatile on the defensive end, and he is undoubtedly the top puzzle.

Simmons mentioned earlier that the Celtics will most likely not hold him for a long time.

He still has the ability to average 20+ games, but his offensive efficiency is not high. His real shooting percentage last season was only 55.7% - Prichard was 63.3% and White was 60.6%.

He is nominally a dual-score guard, but his organizational ability can only be said to be mediocre, and he tends to be pure scorers. Not to mention defense, it is destined to be a weak link on the court. This means that he is more suitable for his positioning, and he should be the sixth person.

Of course, his comprehensive ability is qualified as a starting player, but he is not enough to take on the core.

On the bench of the Celtics, there was already Prichard, whom he trained himself.

Last season, Prichard contributed many famous scenes. But if you really want to be serious, he is indeed one level lower than Simmons - he is shorter, has poorer athletic ability, and has a more single function.

But if you are just the sixth person, Prichard's biggest advantage is that it is cheap and easy to use.

Simmons will be the contract year next season, and the next contract he pursues will never be less than 20 million; while Prichard's contract will be three years, with a maximum of 8.3 million in one year.

If the Celtics want to rebuild, there is no need to keep Simmons; if they want to continue to compete for the championship around the Double Tenhua, Simmons is also not very compatible with them.

So next season, the Celtics will likely send Simmons away before the trade deadline to seek reinforcement.

In addition, the Celtics' teams who can be called high-quality rotations next season are probably Hauser and Boucher.

The former is also a player trained by the Celtics itself. His three-point shooting percentage has been above 40% every year in his career, making him an extremely efficient forward shooter.

Boucher is a newcomer, and he is likely to appear as the starting No. 4 position. The advantage is that it combines frame protection, three-pointers, and coordinated defense. The weakness is that the body is too thin and can't resist deviations and can't prevent large inside lines. The offensive end does not have the ability to hold the ball, let alone support, and can only be used as a pure end point.

Think about it again, the Celtics' inside configuration was Horford + Porzingis + Cornett last season, and the starting lineup next season was probably Boucher + Keta...

Not to mention it, Keta's efficiency per unit time is actually very high.

Average only 13.9 minutes last season, scoring 5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.7 blocks, shooting percentage 65%, and free throws of 75.4%.

But from the fourth center in the team in the last season, he jumped to the starter - this is a big challenge for him.

In addition, Tyrman, Schillman, Minnot, Garza, Jordan Walsh and others are all marginal figures in the league.

Except for last year's rookie Schillman, the rest of the players averaged no more than 8 minutes of playing time last season.

And the Celtics need to pick out about 2 to 3 of these five people and include them in the rotation...

In short, for the Celtics.

Never expect to compete for the championship next season, it depends on how far you can go with Brown leading the team alone.

This is also an opportunity for players. Maybe they can really use this to temper and achieve transformation?

Of course, if they have greater courage and dare to imitate the Spurs that year and completely play a bad game for a year, and strive to draw a grand prize in the draft next summer, it is not completely undesirable - next year is said to be another super year.

However, after seeing the Mavericks draw the No. 1 pick, they are always suspicious. It may be difficult to get the desired ranking as they wish.
