4.Kg
5.Al Jeff
6.Jeff Green
7.Jamal Crawford
8.Carl Landry
9.Greg oden
10.Bradley
11.1st round pick
12.2nd round pick
13.troy murphy
14.trade deadline buyout guy
15.open roster slot

assuming nothing drastic happens in the new cba this is how my dream comes true

Celtics trade Kristic(s&t),d.west(s&T)glen davis (s&t) ,future 2nd & the cavs pick we got for semih & luke
for Al jefferson

celtics trade j.o & shaq's exp contract for jamal crawford atl dosent want to bring him back & jamal will want more money so this deal makes sence throw in a pick for good faith

we sign carl landry for the full MLE

& the greg oden thing is really a long shot cuz all we'll be able to give him is the bi-annual exception but who knows maybe'll he'll take it low risk very high reward
 thoughts?
what's your ideaa

\nice plan....i like that you wantt to see both Oneals dumped, becauwe they are duds at this stage of their careers...with a roster like that one it would be possible to compete...but i still think we are a little too long in the tooth...

agree though'll we'll have the size we traded away in the deadliine back it'll come down to jeff green/j.crawford/ray/paul vs lebron and wade in the east

[Gainesville Celtic]

I'd be happy if your plan came true, but I think I have a better chance playing for the C's (and i'm as tall as JJ Barea, with Glen Davis' build).... I can't see Utah trading Big Al (who they stole from MIN) or Oden/Landry/Crawford all coming to Boston.


It's kind of a meaningless exercise b/c the big changest to the CBA will dictate what moves we can make, but here are some begining thoughts on what I'd like to see.

In general i'd like to reload and take another shot at Miami/Chicago. My main concern is adding quality depth and not fooling around with rebuilding a team after the buyout deadline -- like Ainge has tried to do (rather unsuccessfully other than the PJ Brown signing):

1. Rondo
2. Delonte
3. Pierce
4. Garnett
5. J. O'Neal

I thought Delonte did a great job in limited mins throughout the season and does a lot of little things that help the starting 5 (including defending guys like Wade).

6. Ray Allen
7. Jeff Green

I think Ray is better suited to being our 6th man than Pierce. I like how Allen leads the 2nd unit more than Pierce -- who goes into "gotta do everything" mode which he's not really capable of for as long stretches.

I'm hoping that a full camp of playing with the C's will help Green get acclimated. I'm also hoping that we don't overpay him this summer; in fact i'd almost prefer to let him play out on the qualifying offer and keep our cap flexibility (if that matters in the new CBA as much as it does now).

8. Kirilenko

I don't want to break the bank on a FA -- would rather keep 2012 flexiblity -- but perhaps we can convince Kirilenko to (a) take a shot at a ring and (b) rebuild his playing rep for one last big contract. I'd also take a shot at Marc Gasol, but the chances of that seem unlikely.


9. Nenad Krstic
10. Avery Bradley
11. Sasha Pavlovic

Krstic only if it's a one-year deal (though he may sign overseas again). Would like to make sure Bradley gets 10-15 min/gm... that's my one complaint with Doc is not letting rooks work through their adjustment to the NBA in real games.

I may be the only one who liked Sasha Pavlovic, but I thought he brought some fiesty-ness off the bench at the 3 position.

12. #25 pick
13. #55 pick

#25 preferably a big man, but regardless of position I'd like to draft an NBA-ready guy (college Jrs. or Srs. like Tony Allen, Delonte, Gomes) over a project (Bradley, Bill Walker (both of whom are nice players but we need talent right away IMO)).

#55 I'm looking for Ainge to add an NBA-ready player here too (a la Gomes, Harangody)

so youre basically in "lets try to get dwight howard in 2012 & disregard next season" mode

For me the compelling question about this team would be does Roy learn to love Ak-47 or holds steadfast to his anti gun stance (get it?)?

My hope is as follows
1.keep pretty much the same core
2. grab a good player in the draft who turns out to be a steal.
3. Avery Bradley plays very well and shows bright things to come.
4. Jeff Green fits into the system and learns how to be aggressive in the offseason.
5. We sign a decent player to the MLE.


While these are not very likely, they would give us a great shot at contending next year as well as give me a lot of hope for time after the big 3.

[LooseCannon]

Rajon Rondo
Ray Allen
Paul Pierce
Kevin Garnett
Jermaine O'Neal

Jeff Green
Nenad Krstic
Delonte West
A back-up point guard
Troy Murphy or the best affordable free agent big man

Sean Williams or Courtney Sims from the D-League
Avery Bradley
First round pick
Second round pick
This year's version of Chris Johnson or Stephane Lasme

[Humble G]

For one last run, this may work if we can get Oden and he is healthy. And if Glenn Davis would wise up and realize his role again, he is a great 6th man!!!

PG:Rondo/Bradley
SG:Ray Allen/Michael Redd

if Jeff Green ain't aggressive by now - it's not gonna happen. it's not something you can learn - it's either a part of your basic nature or it's not ..... and Green is soft, soft, soft.

[fairweatherfan06]

Since this is hope.  As I've posted elsewhere I'm hoping for a  starter with a good understudy that can take a lot of minutes and "perhaps" eventually take over as a starter.

So that's how I'll post it.

There will be exceptions at the 1 and the 5 where I think they will be set in our rotation.

Starters
Center: #25 Pick or free agent (Deandre Jordan)
PF: KG
SF: Pierce
SG: Ray
PG: Rondo

Backup Center: Jermaine Oneal
PF: Jason Thompson
SF: Jeff Green
SG: Kelenna Azuibike
PG Delonte West

Krylo Fesenko
Avery Bradley
Backup wing #55 draft pick
Insurance minimum big
