The Boston Celtics could easily survive the loss of Jaylen Brown in the regular season. Unfortunately, their best strategy isn't necessarily playoff safe.
August. Continues. To. Stagnate. Still, there are bits and pieces—rumours and news and everything in between—that you might have heard about (yes, it took a lot of resistance not to force a deer-related pun in there—and for the headline).

Normally, entertaining a ‘What if?’ scenario is a fun exercise. You change one thing, start pulling on the thread and see how ridiculous you can make everything on the other end.
