I can live with where we are right now and be excited as we move forward on next season. Bottom line:
1. Horford in > Sully out...that has to be worth a couple of extra wins
2. Jaylen Brown in < Evan Turner out weakens our bench in the short term, creates upside in the long term.
3. We have players ready to take Turner's minutes. Terry Rozier is having a great summer, and we ope our you players like Smart and Crowder are working hard to improve.
4. Ainge has us in a great spot. His trade with the Nets was a franchise shifting move. We are only half way through what it will mean for us, with two more possible lottery picks to go, and Jaylen Brown to develop. I will be glad when we are playing championship basketball and but I can be patient as long as we are getting better and have options. I think most of the trade talk right now is bogus, trying to generate some energy and posturing for advantage. I think we may do a little small, fine tuning before camp, but trades will more likely be closer to the deadline when other teams realize that throwing guys together doesn't make a team, and somebody wants out. Everyone wants to test and see what they have for a few weeks into the season first.
