I would take a flier on Bjelica. He could bring value to the team and I doubt he costs more than a 2nd rounder as he is expiring. Not sure how we can fit him here tho? What's his contract? Which TPE fits his salary.

His salary is only 7.1m.

But if Ainge uses the TPE on Bjelica, that would eliminate Barnes and Gordon for a possible trade using the TPE.

Yeah I’m suggesting it assuming Ainge doesn’t want to pay the price on Barnes.

I think this is the season where Ainge deviates from his usual approach to the trade deadline.

Harrison Barnes is a very good option for the Celts, but I think if Vucevic is available, that would be a great option for the Celts.

Perhaps. Vuc is not very switchable and the C’s like to switch things.

With Barnes, Theis, Tatum and Brown they can all switch onto a wide range of players which makes the C’s pretty tough defensively.
