“In 2017, they added both Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, and then watched each player fail to meet expectations,” continued the B/R analyst.
“They replaced Irving with Kemba Walker (at the expense of the promising Terry Rozier) and saw that addition fall flat, too. They watched Al Horford exit as a coveted free agent in 2019 and then return two years later as part of the Walker salary dump. They saw head coach Brad Stevens ditch the sidelines for the front office. They spent lottery picks on Romeo Langford and Aaron Nesmith but couldn’t work their developmental magic on either one.”
“Along the way, though, they also watched Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown turn toward stardom while the rest of the roster found supporting roles around them,” suggested Buckley.
