So far this season, the Boston Celtics have achieved the league's best record of 32 wins and 10 losses, but the defending champion's head-on blow has made the Green Army general manager Stevens feel uneasy, and the record of 20 consecutive wins at home has been ended by Pope's defense at the last moments, Tatum, the number one star in the Green Shirts lineup, is doing the most unreliable work in the way he is best at scoring, and he pulls them back to reality with a three-point shot, and he has won the Eastern Conference leader in half a season spent in the sweet and gentle country, I am afraid that they cannot realize the real potential danger, just after losing to the Denver Nuggets, the team's probability of winning the championship is still highAfter all, it is not easy for the league to pick out five All-Stars in a team today, and Jaylen Brown, Tatum, White, Porzingis and Holiday are not proportional to their performance in key moments.
As a defensive backcourt double-gun, Derrick White averaged 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, which is a statistic that hangs a lot of guard players, in addition, he can also achieve the league's highest efficiency value of +9.5 per game, which is beneficial to him and Holiday blessings, presumably the team will make the playoffs, but it is a little lacking to win the championship. So far, Celtics management has ignored the growth of the duo and instead spent more time and energy on upgrading the team, locking trade chips into the team's bench in order to achieve the purpose of reinforcement. With limited salary space this season, a $6.2 million trade exception and multiple draft picks in their hands until 2028, management is looking to consolidate current resources, evaluate options, and look to upgrade the roster.
Not surprisingly, the Celtics have set out to bring in wingers and bolster the depth of the center position, with the exception of Hauser, Pritchard, Cornet and Horford. There is no substitute who can be used in the championship strength, and it is destined to fail to win the cup, and Boston's general manager is still actively exploring potential trades, but for Stevens's operation, failing to convert the 6.2 million special cases into valuable wealth means failure. So far, they haven't made waves in the trade market, after all, no team wants to take such a chip, and at the same time, Angie, the general manager of the Utah Jazz, has a different spark with his apprentice.
Even though the Jazz have played well recently, ranking ninth in the West and only 3.5 wins away from eighth in the West, Ainge has put the team's backcourt Clarkson, Sexton and Olynyk swinging No. 4 and No. 5 on the shelf. At the moment, the most promising deal is none other than Olynyk, the 32-year-old veteran is expected to return to the place where his dream began, after all, he has worked with Stevens and is no stranger to the team's system, in addition, as a contract year, he is more conducive to the cooperation between the two parties, and the 6.2 million deal can be combined with a role player to equalize the salary of 12.2 million.
Finally, and most fatally, Olynyk's competitive form this season. He played in 42 games for the team, averaging 8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.3 steals per game in 20 minutes of playing time, shooting 54.8% from the field and 41.1% from three-point range.
