Quote from: PhoSita on May 06, 2019, 09:44:48 PMWhat 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 elsewhereWhat 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

Another great draft pick by Ainge.
I think right now the ideal off-season would be Kyrie re-signs, Ainge trades for AD and Stevens gets fired.Sadly, from past comments by Ainge and Wyc, it sounds like Stevens' job is very secure.

Quote from: GreenCoffeeBean on May 06, 2019, 09:32:09 PMI think we should blow it up. Build around Tatum, Hayward, Smart, and maybe Brown. We need to think long-term and build for multiple championships:- Let Kyrie walk- Don't go after AD- Keep Horford until he expires (1 more year?)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.

If Kyrie re-signs, Ainge makes a push for AD. But at this point, I figure it is unlikely that Kyrie stays so that means no AD. In that case, let Rozier/Morris walk. Focus on Brown/Tatum and what you can do to surround them with good veteran leaders.

Boston by far is the best place for him to win, and this is doubly true if we trade for AD in a fair trade package. What team can he realistically go to where he'll have a better chance of winning than Boston? Brooklyn? That's far from an ideal fit. New York? Doubtful, even with KD going there that's a lesser team than Boston, and he then lives in KD's shadow. At least in Boston he still has a claim of being "the man" over AD given that this was "his" team prior to trading for AD.Still think he will wait to see about Davis before making any decision, though if we don't land AD I can definitely see him walking, and possibly even with Boston's support.
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.
