That's when Ainge had to just start the season with Bogie and be patient. We don't have to play the players in a way that helps us win. I mean, play him for 3 quarters or put him out there with the wrong batch. That's me.
The way that trade went down just days before camp tells me they just wanted to clear the decks to be able to run Hardy's offensive system from Day 1 not to mention the cap savings which gives them more wiggle room under the luxury tax to make further deals by the deadline. In a vacuum Olynyk is a worse player but as a passing big man just fits the scheme better than Bog. I think they also wanted to start Markkannen from day 1 instead of any type of camp competition between him and Bog splitting minutes at the position. So far it's been alot of playmaking by the bigs and wings which should open up the floor for their catch and shoot guards (Conley, Beasley, Sexton, JC, Agbaji). It was a tiny sample in the scrimmage but Sexton and Butler were really the only 2 running any pick n roll and that was with Kessler on the 2nd unit.
