So with the addition of Jajuan Johnson and E'twaun Moore last night, we somewhat bolstered our team. We still lack size, and still need a solid swingman off the bench.
D.A. The options are out there for you, but in my oppinion this is what needs to be done. (and still gives us cap for next year for all you D.H. hopefuls)
Sign and Trade: Big Baby+Jeff Green+1st round pick next year(not clippers top 10 protected) and Avery Bradley for Josh Smith. (their salaries seem to workout with the idea that both baby and green will command between 4-6 mill each)
Whatever the problems that he might have in Atlanta, i believe can evaporate in Boston. Yes he is a volume shooter, but not in Boston he wont be. He gives us the Athletic Big man we are looking for, he can play the 3 or 4. He can rebound and he can Defend. If he gives an all out effort 100% of the time (which a guy like KG will demand) then this guy could really excel with our group of vets.
Starting Lineup: Rondo, Ray, Pierce, Josh Smith, KG.
Now for the bench. Depending on the new CBA i dont know if they're will be an MLE (but lets say there is)
Go and convince Samuel Dalembert that in Boston he has more of a chance to win then in Miami. (with this squad, its not far-fetched) and sign him to half the MLE.
Vince Carter (the dark horse) i believe was bought out by the suns, he can be a sixth man off the bench for us, play some signigicant minutes and still earn 2-3 mil rather then going to something like Sacramento or Milwauke and earning more, hes earned enough in his lifetime and this provides him the best chance at a ring.
LLE. Kyrylo Fesenko. 7 Footer with a big body he knows how to use. He's very intimidating in the paint and has a badass streak in him (In a lakers game earlier this year he put kobe on the ground 3 different times when he came into the paint)
He could be the #4 or 5 big off the bench and help give our main guys a rest.
Resign D-West and T.Murph for vet mins. Im not so ready to write off Troy Murphy, he averaged a double double 2 years ago (albeit on a sub-par indiana team) but i still think if he has a full summer of practicing and hopefully a full preseason i think he can contribute and be another big body we throw in.
Our 2nd unit Lineup:
D-west
E'twaun Moore
Vince Carter (swingman)
T.Murph/JaJuan Johnson
Samuel Dalembert/Kyrylo Fesenko
Sign some other vet min guys filling out the roster for 1 year.
We still have a trade exception from the Quis trade as well, maybe use that and a 2nd rounder next year and a future pick (nets 2nd round pick possibly) on a guy like Courtney Lee or Corey Brewer who can fill in the 2-3 spot on our bench and give E'twaun Moore a chance to be in D-League and really grow.
That puts us at the top of the list of champion contenders in my opinion, but what do you think?
