Stumbled across this article and I really like its idea of adding skilled and mobile size to the team, imo it would solve a lot of our problems in terms of personnel, as well as forcing Brad to stop playing a static 5 out offense.

Isnt really anything that has not already been discussed in here alot.


Horford is better suited at pf meaning team still needs a defensive rebound gobbling center.

The concept that no irving can work amd instead have hayward run the point is another ine we discussed. I wouldnt worry about hayward defending the point though, brown would do that.

And davis. Yeah. Trade for him.


Ideally, imo.

Tatum plus fillers get dealt for davis.
Horford get dealt for someone who can relieve fron court strain. Another bigman like a drummond.

I have been saying this for years. We are too small.

Plus, Danny signed three allstars who are not going to bring us a championship.

Time to retool with bigger and stronger players, maybe starting with Davis.

A Davis trades solves a lot of their front court issues. Davis and Horford at the other big spots gives them a huge upgrade defensively and rebounding wise. Then Baynes (assuming he re-signs) and Williams to round out the rest of the rotation. Maybe add a veteran big guy as well (but that hasn't seem to be some sort thing the Cs have valued over the past few years with their emphasis on swings/wings).


My projected lineup would be Irving/Brown/Hayward/Horford/Davis. That's pretty good size across the board.

Who are the three all stars he signed? Horford, Hayward, and... Smart?
I'm bitter.

Horford, Hayward, and Kyrie, who he traded for.
