Why The Boston Celtics Do The Deal
Some will suggest that the Celtics shouldn’t do this deal. They just made the Finals last season – why mess with a good thing?
Well, do you remember how the Finals went? The Celtics suffered from a lack of quality ball handling vs the Warriors last year. With Young in the fold, that won’t be an issue.
In fact, he feels like a more natural partner for Tatum than Brown has been. Tatum and Brown complement each other, but they are functionally similar players.
Young would give this team an injection of playmaking they haven’t had during this era.
