FYI: At around the 4:00 minute mark, he takes a subtle shot at Westbrook :youngsabo:

We need more versatility on the offensive end, just let Tatum be himself, he's not Jaylen in his first year, Brad needs to understand that. Let the guy post-up, draw plays to give him mismatches, let him ISO and take 20 shots. Barnes and Dirk were abusing our lineups with high pick and rolls, Tatum just stands around the corner doing nothing while Kyrie, Horford and Jaylen drag the action to the other side of the court, it's frustrating.

Horford lost all the confidence on his shot, he's too hesitant.

Smart can't play 34 minutes, that's a joke.

How long will Morris be on minutes restriction?

Celtics need more offensive help

Don't know the exact numbers, but they are towards to the bottom to middle of the road on offensive efficiency. Their defense is amazing and steller, but there is a reason they have slow starts offensively in games, which is what caused them to lose this Miami Heat game

Danny needs to use that 18mill disabled player exception. And use it on a player that plays the 2/3 position who is a scorer.

Offense at the 1,2,3 position is kinda fragile at the moment. Kyrie is obviously amazing. But after him and Jaylen Brown, it's a huge dropoff. Tatum is a great, but he's a rookie so his inconsistency is expected, Rozier should be better but he's just not playing the best at the moment

If Danny uses that money to get another offensive player, Celtics would definitely have enough to compete for a title

The Gordon Hayward exception is only for $8.4M.

I agree with everything else you posted.
