A Path Forward...

[CBS_Take a Report]

1. Sign Ricky Rubio to League Exception ($9.2m). He enters free agency at a very inopportune time (pass first guard in a market seeking shooters) and could be open to this as he would once again enter free agency in his age 29 season.

2. Trade Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown and Aron Baynes (sorry Aron) to Washington for Bradley Beal.

3. Re-sign Al Horford after he fails at receiving a 4 year contract on the open market (3 year, $70m).

4. Trade Guerschon Yabusele, Robert Williams + Pick 14 to Atlanta for Alex Len and Pick 10 in 2019 Draft. Draft Bol Bol with Pick 10.

5. Sign Darren Collison to Bi-Annual Exception.

New Team:

PG: Ricky Rubio
SG: Bradley Beal
SF: Gordon Hayward
PF: Jayson Tatum
C: Al Horford

Bench: Alex Len, Darren Collison, Semi Ojeleye, Bol Bol, Pick 20, Pick 22, Veteran Minimum, Veteran Minimum

Pretty much a certainty that Al already has another contract waiting for him though, right?

The think the Wizards are going to extend Beal. I heard an extra 3 years 110 million. He's the only thing that DC has to sell the fans right now.

You misspelled "draft anyone but Bol Bol with the 10th pick".

You misspelled "draft anyone but Bol Bol with the 10th pick".

You don't like Bol Bol as a prospect? I think his game is going to translate well.

Bol Bol will get eaten up in the NBA.

Yeah, I'm assuming there's some back channel negotiations happening.

I can def see the Clippers if they nab Kawhi.

I am sorry I just don't see 2-4 happening.
maybe 1 or 5?

2. Trade Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown and Aron Baynes (sorry Aron) to Washington for Bradley Beal.

Apparently one of the conditions Baynes had in re-signing was to not be traded for the year. Breaking that gentleman's agreement would trash what was left of Danny's reputation for fairness.
