Change Is Inevitable. Acceptance Is Optional.

The Celtics are going through a chaotic time, in the hopes of emerging as a contender. And I doubt if we are about to emerge from the chaos soon. Trades, draft picks, and free agents will be essential to make this team better.

If you live and die by every game, you are operating on a principle that we are on the correct path to contention, and that with a few tweaks and more experience we will compete for championship number 18.

This is just not so. Expect to give up some of the accumulated draft picks. Expect one or more of your favorite players to be moved. And expect that progress will be anything but linear. We may miss the playoffs this season, maybe next, and still be progressing toward a title.

Acceptance is optional.
