And Thomas, surely would still be around. Even though he will be in his 30s, he will still be valuable.
I dont have a problem with this team standing pat at this juncture. No one is beating the Warriors, unles their is a plane crash.
Grow your youth. In 5 years, Boston will be in the running for championships.

The youth here is about 2 years younger than players like Giannis or Porzingis who are better than all of them combined. The Celtics downgraded from Fultz to Tatum in order to better attract veteran free agents and appear to have whiffed on it.
It's pretty difficult to trade up in the draft. Philadelphia only was able to do so because Boston hoarded backcourt players for so long and ended up in a position where neither of the clear-cut best players fit their team. If Boston gets a pick from the Nets or the Lakers in a position where the best player on the board is another guard or wing, they once again have little leverage because other teams can just dare them to stand pat and draft yet another player who will have trouble getting playing time.
