So why will a team help GSW. Are we the only ones who see the unfair advantage. For me the only way I'm taking on Bogut is if I get Green with him.

1. Since they added a high quality character guy in Horford to go with their other high quality character guys like
IT, Crowder, Olynyk, they can probably safely take a chance on a Cousins trade now. Ideally for the Celtics, acquiring Cousins
without giving up the 2017 Nets pick would be wonderful, even with the higher than average of NBA teams tanking this upcoming
season, it still should be a Top 7 Pick.

2. Draft an Impact Player with that 2017 Nets pick, there are plenty in this Draft to be sure.

3. Sign a Big Name 2017 Free agent, Griffin or Hayward, probably Hayward would be the bet opportunity for
the Celtics.

Danny got stuff up his sleeve. Don't worry. We got closer to Durant than I ever imagined. Horford will do a good job and Anthony Davis is going to get antsy. 3 years ago, curry wasn't one of the top 5 players in the world.

Retain Jerebko and Amir, so along with KO and Horford (and Mickey and maybe Bentil as 3rd stringers), our big man rotation is mostly set.

What remains is to replace ET. That is definitely not Jaylen Brown. Whoever suggested Kevin Martin is probably on the right track.

What I want to happen:

Ditch Amir (don't want to double down on undersized 4/5s with Horford on board). Sign Boban as the primary big man back-up boosting our rebounding, scoring and entertainment value.

Let the young guys have a chance at replacing ET - Smart/Hunter/Rozier.

I'm guessing we split the difference. Keep Amir\JJ, dont replace ET and have Smart/Hunter/Rozier do it. Look for a consolidation trade for a young good player. Have it not happen. Keep our powder dry (stale?) for 2017 trade deadline\draft\FA.

The funny thing is the new CBA was supposed to stop stars from leaving.
I am not mad at KD. I think it was his best choice for a ring.
I just wanted to watch 82 games with him in Boston.

But good for him from leaving the dirt town OKC. Welcome to the real world KD.

Everyone needs to think Amir type deals because that is what is going to happen. Who are the targets?

Ezeli will get renounced, as will Barnes. I like Barnes, not for max, but We could use Ezeli.

I am serious when I write Wade . These players are growing up in the wrong era. Ironically they are close to my age, so I'm in the wrong era too. Anyway, they only cities who have names to them. If we got Horford and we got a visit from Durant, getting Wade for a wasted but fun year could help us in the long run. Maybe Wade then talks to Westbrook or Paul or whoever and they see Boston as a place to be now. We can't go backwards with Humprhies lol

And idk if you totally disagree come at me soft. I'm already getting tanked and I got out of work St 11:49, just so much pissed about Durant
