I certainly like all three rookies over the likes of Yabu, Semi, Wannamaker and any 2 way player from Maine. Those three guys need to be cut loose.

Wyc asked on @NBCSBoston to characterize state of team: “Building or re-tooling, we’re starting with a core of Marcus Smart, Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum. Start with that and add in the rest of the roster, not to slight anybody, and then restricted rights on Terry."

Well, that seems pretty indicative that they're expecting both Kyrie and Al to be gone, and the way things have been handled since that news broke, I'm not sure that they mind all that much given all the controversy of last year. May be best for all parties involved to start over with our current young studs as the focus moving forward, with Hayward being the solid veteran presence.

Also found the comment about Terry interesting. While he was mentioned, it's clear that he's an afterthought at this point and may only be coming back if we strike out in free agency.

I’m definitely excited with the potential of Hayward coming back close to All Star Form and maybe Tatum + Brown taking that extra step as they take bigger roles. More shot attempts for each of those 3 as well.

If we nab a max FA, there’s a chance we can have three all-stars in the free agent, the return of pre-injury Hayward, and Tatum (or Brown, whoever takes the leap).

Yeah, but we've known this for years. He'll probably never change.

I wish there was a way to sign DLo AND trade for a center like Adams/Capela. Would have been amazing  :(

Almost to #51 at this point I'm hoping for Moses Brown or Jalen Lecque.  Maybe get lucky and the one we get reaches his potential.
