There's definitely no reason to force Bass out for the sake of doing so, but it's entirely possible that a playoff team will be willing to part with a pick or young player for Bass. He would be a nice bench big for a playoff team and his contract isn't overly burdensome.

My thinking at this point is Ainge is done trading for salary purposes. I think he was dealing for Asik to unload the the extra year of Lee while Courtney was playing well and he was able to get that done. Obviously if you want to call and talk about trading for Gerald Wallace the team isn't going to leave you on hold but I think that Ainge has accomplished what he set out to do there.

Ainge is clearly positioned as a seller. He has a handful of guards and power forwards with all different price tags to chose from.

But the thing to keep an eye for me is Bynum. I think it is reality check time for him. It does not appear that any of the contenders are interested. I understand that the guy is a mess but the cost at this point is so small why not give it a shot I think an environment where it isn't about last nights results and with kind of long focus may be what the guy needs.

I'm not so sure about that. Bass is still better off this team for an expiring and Jeff Green is slowly playing himself into the same territory. Dude NEEDS to be consistent.

This team isn't getting under the cap this off season there is absolutely no reason to trade Bass unless someone is trading for him and your are getting a young player or draft pick out of it.

Green may well be on his way out of town but my guess is that Ainge is going to want to see him with Rondo first and even then it is going to have to be a situation where someone is coming for him not one where Ainge is going to be looking to send him away.

Sully is correct. Even if we renounce all our free agents and the tpe, adding the qualifying offers for Bradley and Crawford, 2 draft picks (about 4.5m), one rookie scale for incomplete roster (500k), the mle (about 5m) and the bi-annual (about 2m) will leave us at 62-63m, which is the projected cap for the 2014-15 season.

No space for free agents for us this offseason.

His QO is only 3.2 mil my guess is that they will offer him that just to keep their options open, assuming he is here passed FEB.
