we are overloaded at power forward as well as shooting guard and if we sign this brazilian, we're overloaded at center as well. I still believe that danny is not interested in being a team that finishes out of the lottery. I don;t care what he says; what I pay attention to is what he does. anyone who thinks brad stevens is going to win a lot of games as a rookie coach is crazy. so right away his hiring tells me that danny is thinking long term and is prepared to lose a lot of game next year. he wants young players who can be developed as well as draft pickes. Humphries has value as do guys like bogans and bass. those guys have reasonable salaries and know how to play in the nba. so I fully expect that danny will explore options to trade them. wallace , if healthy, has value as well provided he can recover his shooting stroke. he played well for the nets in the playoffs so maybe he will bounce back and have a good year. 2-3 years ago he was one of the best small forwards in the league. I've also always liked humprhies. so I wouldn't be unhappy if we kept them but again I don't think they fit in danny's plans. sullinger and olynk are both power forwards and they're both keepers. I think melo will be traded in a package with humprhies or wallace. I've seen mention of an asik deal and I think that could make sense. we send humprhies to houston along with one of our brazlian centers. we desperatley need some shooters so that's the other area danny needs to address. I don't see crawford and brooks on this team. I htink crawford, as talented as he is, may have punched his ticket out of town with that punk display against the knicks. bradley lee and brooks are all decent players but none of them are great 3 point shooters.I think this team will really struggle with outside shooting so danny needs to plan for that.
