That's 6 maybe 7 power forwards when you maybe need 3. I believe any of them would fit into our trade exception. We could also send out a couple of guys to help balance our roster and the Washington roster.

If GW lost a little weight and added speed I'd take him at his price vs that list. Same kind of thing with Parker if healthy. I expect Tatum and Brown to collect 40 mins of PF a night. Just need two guys to be decent for 8 mins of play

Didn’t realize that they had that many PF’s. No chance they are moving Rui Hachimura, though.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Rui is the only guy that makes sense with the way Boston's roster currently is, and they aren't moving him. 

I like Kuzma and Bertans well enough, but they aren't going to raise the ceiling of the team.  I suppose if they were just giving them away, that wouldn't be a bad move though.

How about A Power forward from Washington?
How about A Power forward from named Washington? PJ Washington. :P

The Hornets are very deep at the swing positions. They might be willing to move him for the right price. He plays small ball Center as well. Per cleaningtheglass.com, he played 54% and 46% of his minutes at PF and Center respectively.

Yabu looks like he is in great shape - good for him.  Time to dance back to the NBA?

If there was a way to pry Washington or Miles Bridges from them, either would be perfect fits for us. It would be worth an overpay.

He looked good in the Olympics too.  Especially on the defensive. Did relatively decent covering KD, no easy task.

Always thought managing his weight was the key.  He has a power forward body.  I think he'll come back to the NBA at some point. Wouldn't mind the Celtics giving him another shot if he continues to improve and keep weight off.
