I would wait until the deadline to trade Bogans/Johnson/Pressy and Babb. Unless its a forward move for us. We do have the Lee Trade exception, I wouldn't mind using soon too.
A move will have to be made before then as our roster holds too many players
Rondo/Smart/Pressey
Bradley/Young/Thorton/Babb/Johnson/Bogans
Green/Wallace
Bass/Sully
KO/Zeller/Faverani/Anthony
That's seventeen guys. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bogans and an unguanranteed or two in a sign and trade for an MLE guy. We should use our unguaranteeds now in the offseason and then look to move our expirings (Bass, Thorton) closer to the deadline as they'll be more appealing to teams then. Or just let them walk and save the cap space.
Pressey, Babb, Bogans, and Johnson all seem like walking trade fodder to me.
Faverani also seems like the odd man out in the center rotation, now that Zeller is here. Anthony can be the vet who stabilizes the platoon at C.
Still have Bird Rights on Hump and Bayless, and loads of expiring contracts. Thornton could even potentially get flipped (but not aggregated with other salary).
Still lots of avenues to pursue for Ainge. I'm pleased he got Zeller and another 1st today.
