Celtics - to much talent to be good

Looking at this year in basketball I don't think anyone in Boston had the hope that the team will be a power in the east. No ones going to challenge the heat this year except maybe the nets but pierce and Garnett couldn't do it here so that won't be able to do it in Brooklyn. The problem with the celtics this year is not the lack of talent it's actually quite the opposite!  The celtics have too much talent this year to achieve what they need to be a successful basketball organization. With the NBA starting in just a few days the celtics look like they will be a middle of the road team. Probably not making the playoffs but certainly not the bobcats. Rondo is still a great point guard, Jeff green is coming off a very good season and both will look to put up big numbers. Avery Bradley is still a little package of energy and their should be plenty of scoring off the bench. But their is no star on the celtics team, and star power is what drives the nba. Most people can't even name more then 5 people ok the heat, but they have lebron , wade, and Ray Allen. And with 1 superstar and a few semi big names they won the title twice. The point of all this is to point out the celtics draft projections. The celtics will have plenty of first round picks in the next few years but with them coming from Brooklyn and LA the picks will not be very high. With the celtics finishing mid table their pick won't be high either. All this leads to the celtics being stuck in no mans land in the NBA. Not good enough to challenge inthe playoffs but too good to get a superstar in the draft. The celtics very well may be dead in the water for many years to come.
