Maybe, maybe not. Jimmy Butler is a great player, probably top 10 in the league. That kind of player often can change things.

Irving BTW was #30, #44, #53, and #49 in those. Most overrated player in the league. |

If Jimmy Butler was a top 10 player, the Bulls wouldn't have been a 8th seed in the East.

Yeah, time will determine that, not you. And let's face it, one of the Celtics biggest problems was shot-creation. NOBODY outside of IT could create their own shot really. And shot creation is huge in the playoffs, especially, and IT really struggled with it himself in the playoffs. And you can think Irving isn't that much better than IT overall, but there's no question that his shot creation is at least as good but likely better than IT, and that it's DEFINITELY been alot better in the playoffs. C's now have Irving and Hayward, and their new draft pick, Tatum, appears to have elite skills in that area (or projects to -- nobody really knows how any draft pick will work out). So you can say the Cs aren't much/any better in the short term, but I don't agree, especially when it comes to playoff basketball. |
