With the Los Angeles Lakers officially in position to surpass the Boston Celtics in championships for the first time in more than half of a century, this offseason is a critical one for Danny Ainge and co. After falling just short of an NBA Finals appearance, the Cs are not good enough as is, but luckily have the means to get better.
Truthfully, the most likely pathway for Boston to improve is via the NBA Draft. Then again, that’s a significant gamble to rely on to contend immediately. At picks #14, #26, and #30, there aren’t going to be guys that will step in and move the needle in 2020-21.
