In the name of stringing deals together, what would be 2 big moves that set us up to contend next year?
For example...
#1
Bradley, A.Johnson, Sullinger, Brooklyn 1st (2016), Dallas 1st (2016) for Blake Griffin
#2
Lee, Memphis 1st (2018), Boston 1st (2017) for Al Horford
We'd be here:
Guards: Thomas, Smart, Rozier, Young, Hunter
Wings: Crowder
Bigs: Griffin, Horford, Olynyk, Mickey
Our payroll would be at about $70M including signing Horford in the offseason. Lineup:
Thomas (Rozier)
Smart (Young/Hunter)
Crowder (FA - Marvin Williams at the right price?)
Griffin (Mickey)
Horford (Olynyk)
... with $$ to spend and the Dallas 1st rounder + our 2nd rounders
That's a ton of talent in the starting lineup with great passing from the big men, and a high energy bench. We'd have the ability to still sign a big F/A or add high quality veterans such as Marvin Williams, Teletovic, Gordon, Speights, Mayo, etc as insurance against a young bench.
