The Celtics need to build a team again with some new young talent.
That may be true but a basketball superstar can have a much bigger impact game after game than another sports star can. Yes its a team sports but they are all essentially trained to do the same things. In football you have different positions and offensive and defensive specialists. In basketball you gotta really be decent at everything and if your great at atleast one thing you'll impact the game.
