I still have no idea why you believe that the alternative to maximize wins now is losing flexibility or something. That dichotomy is false.
I think you are missing my point, and it probably is because I oversimplified my argument by agreeing with the original poster. I am not talking about maximizing wins. I don't think that will be Danny's motivation at all. What I am saying is that I think if Danny cannot find either a superstar, or incredible values this summer, he will roll the cap space for another year, in order to maintain his flexibility, rather than using the cap space by signing mediocre players to long term deals.
Basically the same thing the Nets did last year, when they signed/traded for one year placeholder players such as Kardashian, Okur, and Stevenson.
It just so happens that the C's have some perfect placeholders already here. KG and Ray are much more likely than younger players to take a 1 year deal, just because they might not get much more elsewhere. And Green will be motivated to sign a one year deal, so he can prove himself and get his big, longterm deal the next summer.
I know everyone wants to go "young", but unfortunately, going young is expensive. It is very rare that you can ever sign a young player worth a darn to a short term contract. The good ones are going to want to get paid. And unless this team is able to find another way to get a star, they are better off maintaining flexibility as long as possible until they can find that star (or stars) to complement (or replace) Rondo.
