This team is cooked.  Losing to a better team.  I know people don’t want to admit it but whatever.

So two questions.  What do you want to happen?  What do you think will happen?

Me?  It’s clear as day that we should do everything to get Davis here.  Or perhaps not, as I’m sure some would rather not keep kyrie.  Of course, Tatum and the picks might not be enough to get Davis.  Maybe by adding brown?

What will happen?  I’m thinking no Davis, kyrie walks, we’re back to a 6-8 seed.

I ain't even sad. This year has been crap and this team didn't even believe the bs they put out there. The Bucks really really good though. They can definitely win it all.

Plan A...Trade for AD and resign Kyrie
Plan B Build young with the picks. Keep Brown and Tatum.

At this point I do not care. This season was a mitigated failure.

I think Brad would do much better with a young college type team. He struggles to coach Kyrie.

I don't know exactly yet.

But one thing's 100% for sure. LET ROZIER WALK.

I think we should blow it up. Build around Tatum, Hayward, Smart, Brown. We need to think long-term and build for multiple championships:

- Let Kyrie, Rozier, Morris walk
- Don't go after AD
- Keep Horford until he expires (1 more year?)
- Draft and develop a couple bigs and a ball handler
- Develop Tatum and Brown

We'll know what Tatum's ceiling is in 2 years.

We need a heart transplant because this team plays with no heart.

Fire brad. His coaching puts the bs in CBS.

Too much talent to get punked at home like this.

Still don't believe in Joe.

Package picks to move up or for a vet like Beal. or just make the picks...go young

Eh, I'm sure pretty much everyone is not in denial about the Bucks being the better team.

The offseason can't come soon enough.  I hope game 5 is the last time we see Rozier in a Celtics jersey.

A part of me wouldn’t mind that at all.  The issue would be to find a way up.  I’m not sure either Tatum or brown will develop in 1a players.  So we’d likely need to build a balanced team.

Anthony Davis....

Id bite the bullet even if its for just one season...as long as we only give up one of the Jays not both.

Beal is 1 year older than Rozier - hardly a vet that can be had for garbage picks. I'd happily move Tatum for him if Kyrie walks, he was amazing this year

I think whatever the approach is it has to be decisive. Plan A should be to go after Davis, get him and Kyrie looks better as the number two guy. Beyond that there is certainly stuff you have to figure like what to do with Hayward but getting the top 10 player has to be the first play. I do however have a limit, I'm not including both Tatum and Brown. This is in part because of how bad Hayward has looked in general this season, you can't give up both of your young wings on the HOPE that Hayward is better next year, because theres a chance he just isnt and never will be. And without him you arent good enough with just Kyrie and Davis.

If you can't or don't get Davis blow it up. That includes letting Kyrie walk, seeing if we can off load Hayward, and if that means Horford goes he goes. Force feed the young guys, use the draft picks on high upside guys and reset this. Because if you don't a big star this summer than all of a sudden Jaylen is up for an extension next summer, Horford is entering his age 33 year, Hayward may never be all star level again and most of your draft pick capital is now used (except for hopefully the MEM pick). Meaning that our avenues for getting another star through draft or trade have essentially expired. Force feed the young guys, see if they can be more than they were this year.

What I want:

- Kyrie signs with some other team that will deal with his antics and be disappointed by his performances when it matters.

- Ainge makes some savvy draft day deals but does not trade all the assets for a one year rental of AD

- Horford opts out and re-signs a 3-4 year deal at a reasonable figure.

- Baynes opts out and signs elsewhere

- Rozier signs for 4 yrs / 40 million (trade bait in 6 months)

- Marcus Morris signs elsewhere



What will happen:

- Ainge will go all-out for AD and then try to convince Kyrie to re-sign

- I will worry all summer long that next season will be an emotional sequel to this season.

God I hate your "want" regarding Rozier. Even if we wanted him to be trade bait we could end up stuck with him. I think I'd ignore the Celtics until he was gone
