What's next for the Celtics?

Last year Danny Ainge made the first step into an inevitable rebuilding period, that many cringed at the idea of, when he traded away the remaining 2 members of the big 3 in Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for expiring contracts, draft picks, and the ugly, undeserved contract of  the lazy Gerald Wallace. In doing that the Celtics got rid of their aging stars and in return got a direction for the future of the team.the questions loomed over the course of the past year of whether the C's would go into a full rebuild mode or try to build a team around Rondo and let the young talent they had on their roster develop. But the most recent moves the C's have made in the past month have indicated an even more clear direction for the celtics , while also being a very unpredictable direction. The trading of Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green, arguably the 2 best established talents on the team entering the season,  pointed the celtics in the direction of stock piling draft picks and using them as trade assests or using the picks to build the team through the draft. As well as having a ridiculous amount of draft picks over the next 5 or so years , the celtics also have a ridiculous amount of cap space to work with this offseason, and there is set to be a very good free agency class with many upcoming talented players as well as veteran talent. Danny Aunge is questioned very often on what he does but he's one of the best at what he does, which is managing his assets, and if there's One thing this celtics team has right now, it's a whole lot of assests.
