Not exactly a bad thing. It is unprotected right?

His go-to move has been that Kobe-esque fadeaway from the post. It’s a difficult shot that requires balance, foot work, and a feathery touch, all things that Tatum has already mastered at such a young age. But as pretty as it has looked, he’s been inefficient with it. Check out the shot charts from the last six games:

It’s a scatter blast of missed mid-range jumpers with most of them coming out of isolation. After shooting 46.8% in Utah, his shooting has taken a hit in Vegas at 42.2%, but the percentages are really irrelevant. This has been the summer of Tatum, but come fall, Brad Stevens will focus Tatum’s shot selection in order to maximize his effectiveness.

Let's start with whether or not he will even make the team. Plenty have said they don't see it happening. However, every source I have talked to has indicated that to be false. Zizic will be on the team. So if he is on the team, is he ready to make any impact? That is the million dollar question.
I will say it, Ante Zizic is not NBA ready just yet. I believe he will be on the team, but I think he is far from giving the Celtics true value at the center position. They just signed Aron Baynes as well. That is a guy that is fairly similar, but more skilled. I expect him to be ahead of Zizic in any rotation makeup.
He does show some potential though...Some of his offensive post moves look great. He is very methodical. He uses his body appropriately.

So long, Jordan!
By making the move prior to July 15, the Celtics save $1.47 million, which helps them gain more room under the cap to make the Gordon contract possible. The Avery Bradley trade is already official (his Detroit press conference was last night).

The author is projecting Smart to make the same leap statistically as Jimmy did in his 4th season. Had no idea that Smart's and Butler's rookie year PER 36 minute stats were so similar.

Although an unpopular agreement, I'd have to agree.
Yeah we lost Avery but we also shed a lot of dead weight while adding Hayward, Tatum and two much-needed big men (Baynes and Morris). I have us getting between 60-63 wins.
Butler actually started and played his 2 last years
Smart will barely see the floor
