Poll: If C's sign Hayward who goes Avery or Jae

[KG Living Legend]

 Crowder seemingly is threatened buy Gordon Hayward, however if Bradley is traded they could start together.

 Hayward at SG and Crowder at SF. Or we could trade Jae and start Bradley at SG and Hayward at SF.

 What say you.

[BlackCeltic]

It was nice knowing you Bradley. Smart is our bulldog now.

[BitterJim]

Bradley.  We have Jae under control for 2 extra years at stupidly low salary.  I love Bradley, but he'll be gone before Jae is

[KG Living Legend]

 Also I'd like to add that in order of likely hood of players we draft

 #1 Lonzo Ball
 #2 Josh Jackson
 #3 Fultz

 With that said and Avery's injury history I would trade Bradley, unless Jae really does hate Gordon.

Are you assuming we won't get #1?  If we do, it's Fultz.  Scal pretty much said as much today -- he went off in a tangent about how much Ainge and the rest of the staff love Fultz.  If we get #1, that's who we're taking.

Bradley is pretty much gone.

Sad.

The writing is on the wall.

He just gets injured too much, and his value will never be higher, especially if he finishes the year off very well.

He'll be extremely missed. He learnt a lot from KG, Pierce, Allen, and Rondo.

The crazy thing is, he has been a quiet, but unquestioned leader of the Celtics by his demeanor and his professionalism.

[Irish Stew]

AB would be gone. As others have said, it's all about the Crowder contract.

[KG Living Legend]

 Wow. 10 to Zero. Impressive.

[byennie]

IT, Smart, Brown, Hayward, Crowder, and any top-3 selection would all be valued higher than Bradley. A nice luxury to have.

[Monkhouse]

The thing is...

Bradley is an excellent player. He's averaging 17.7 PPG, 6.8 RPG, and 2.4 APG with 40% 3PT.

I mean...

He's going to get a fat contract..

I can see the 76ers giving him the full max deal, no question.

He fits on any team, he's a potential First/Second All Team defense guard that is essential in defending today's NBA surplus of guards in Kyrie, Curry, etc.

[oldtype]

Would need to be Bradley if only to match salary for whichever superstar we choose to add as the final piece.

[Csfan1984]

There was no option for IT so I took AB as the one to go.

If you trade IT, who's replacing his offense?

No doubt.  Fultz also looks like he has all the tools necessary to play the 2, and IT can play off the ball very effectively when needed.

It was meant as a very bad joke. Yet there is a little truth behind it. Just bare with me. If you get #1 pick and draft Fultz. You then trade IT for the 3rd pick in Jackson. When you sign Hayward get an extension from AB or move him for say Okafor and a top 3 protected pick from 76ers. Plan though would to play small ball with Crowder at the 4 and keep AB. The team would do a much better job sharing the ball and defending. Then the rotations could get crazy with the flexibility of so many guys.

Smart, AB, Hayward, Crowder, Horford.
Fultz, Brown, Jackson, KO, Zizic.
