Any chance Indiana would be open to this:
BOS In: Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, TJ McConnell
BOS Out: JB, Pritchard, Gallo
Haliburton is only 22 with another year on his rookie contract and RFA rights after that. An ideal replacement for JB at the 2 who is far more complementary to JT in the sense that Haliburton can run point when Smart sits or is injured. McConnell is an improvement over Pritchard, and provides us with the flexibility to have Brogdon backup both Haliburton and JT. Finally, Turner may fall in love with Boston and decide to re-sign, which would be a huge insurance policy for Timelord. Between the two, we’d always do well on the glass even when the injury bug bites one or the other, with Horford still freed up to not push himself so much.
Smart/D-White/McConnell
Haliburton/Brogdon/D-White
JT/Brogdon/G. Williams
Horford/G. Williams
Timelord/Turner
Bench: Griffin, Hauser, Kornet, Jackson, Vonleh
Move our seconds for a late first in 2023 to get the best available 4, sign Davison, and focus the off-season on re-signing Turner and G. Williams, along with signing a ring-chaser at the MLE.
