KORVER!!
I really beleive the perfect  answer at Shooting Guard if we get Love and Asik will be Korver!!
One of the best 3pt shooter in the history of the NBA who is deadly off screens!!
That's what a Rondo and Asik team needs more than another SG ballhandler or shoot creator...

I would like Korver as the 6th man backing up AB and Green.

Could have a rotation of

PG Rondo 36min, Bayless 12min
SG Avery 30min, Korver 18min
SF Green 35min,Korver 13min
PF Love 36min,Olynyk 12min
C  Asik 30min , FA D center 10min,Olynyk 8min

I actually like that lineup.  A big plus is that it might be actually attainable.

Korver won't come cheap though.

I'm curious about a potential price for Korver!
I think I would give a late first plus a role player for him!

There's no way Korver will be backing up Bradley and Green. He has started 131 of the 145 games he's played in over the last 2 seasons, and shot .460(!) from three in the process on 800+ shots.

Bradley hasn't hit his ceiling on offense yet, so there is good chance that the Celtics can get a natural upgrade that comes from a young player improving.

I've long been an advocate of finding a sixth man wing who can finish some games instead of Bradley based on matchups and is big enough to play minutes as a SF.

I'd love to see Stauskas on the Celtics.  His shooting would be a great asset next to Rondo and his ability to play some point guard would pair up well with Bradley. 

He's not a great athlete, but he looked more than adequate to me and he tested out well at the combine.

My only real gripe about Bradley is health.  It may or may not be his fault, but he has missed significant playing time in all four of his professional seasons, and there's a certain point where you just have to accept that he's not going to be available every game.  Accordingly, if Bradley stays, which I'm fine with, you need to get an additional player who can step into the lineup when Bradley is invariably out, and who probably can play 2 positions (either the 1 and 2, which is my preference, or the 2 and 3), so that he can get starter level minutes even when Bradley is healthy.  I'm okay if this player is a rookie (Marcus Smart and Nik Stauskas are more choices there), or a veteran.  But I see this player as more supplementary and complimentary to Bradley, rather than a replacement.  I don't think this player should be Bayless, but there are worse options if the price is right (and we've spent our money elsewhere.)

I very much agree.
