Embiid.

Honestly, I don't think Love would sign an extension here which to me makes trading for him unrealistic. That being said Love and Jabari next year would give us a great core to build around.

Or ...

If you can extend Love, ship Rondo, Green, Bass, picks, etc. to the Wolves for Love and Rubio.

Parker plus Love Equals

Return of Celtics,

probably still 2 years away from that. I don't believe Jabari will have a franchise changing season during his rookie year. Though they will make some noise in the first season

Rondo/Parker/Love. Still need a defensive center

So for Parker and Love, we're basically gonna have to A. get a low draft from our crap season. Once you choose Parker, Green has got to go. Package him, Bass, Sullinger, and probably 2-3 first rounders to get it done.

If we can keep Bradley - perfect, if we can't then he has to be included as well. Love himself is a great piece for the future and great go-to-guy

If that does happen, the funny thing is, we still have a lot of 1st rounders left

You have enough ammo to still grab a defensive center if needed.  Ainge has set this team up to do major damage.

If you get a top 5 or top 3 pick, watch out.

Danny not only constructed this team to lose to get a good pick, but also grabbed a LOT of assets in return to do a quick rebuild. Draft, trade, etc...I think this season is just painful but a filler season for us. We know our situation, we just gotta be patient

Embiid.

on the subject of Embiid

Parker being the most NBA ready of the likely top 3. He and Smart are the most ready out of the likely top 6 to contribute at a high level. Wiggins, Embiid, Exum and Randle will all take some time to adjust to the NBA game. I expect Exum, Wiggins and Randle to take 1 year to hit their stride and Embiid to take 2 seasons to become legit starter.

With that said it will be interesting to see how DA handles the roster with the addition of one of these guys. If the Cs draft Embiid do they bring in a true vet center or role with Sully , Kelly and Embiid and take their lumps while they grow? Will Rondo want to be part of that?

Similar situation with Exum, how does that effect signing AB? I personally love the idea of a 3 guard rotatoin of Rondo, Exum and AB.

Does Wiggins start day 1 and green get traded? Or does he come off the bench?

I keep seeing posters say things like "if we tank, then our players will get a losing attitude and they'll lose their edge."  I say that's great, since most of them are going to be on other teams soon anyways.  Spread it around the league, fellas! 

Rondo has already proven to be a warrior and our top draft pick isn't on our team yet, but otherwise everyone else will be gone.  We can pick up some cheap veterans once we have our major pieces to recruit them if we want a winning attitude, whatever that means.  We just need to wait a season or two.

Also, I love following the draft, so having something like 17 picks in the next five seasons is great for me.  It's almost as fun as watching the games.  If we're winning by 2016 and still have the Nets' Lottery pick, I will be in bball heaven
