Very off-season idea

[trickybilly]

1. FAs: Let Crowder, Jonas go - resign Bass for 3 years and a decent final payday (10m?)

2. 2015 Draft: Trade out (#16, AB + Zeller/Sully for Lance Stephenson - he will improve next year and make his 9.4m 2016/2017 a reaaaallly valuable asset in the summer, packed with the memphis pick and our own could reap a star), take high risk/high reward guys with 2nd rounders..

3. Match Gigi. Any offer sheet he gets: match it. Don't think about it - match it.

4. Trade the other guy not in the Charlotte deal

5. Let Isaiah and Smart battle all year for the starting job

6. Trade Wallace at the deadline

Guards: Smart/Isaiah/Lance/Phil/2nd rounder(or summer standout, whatever)
Fwds: Turner/Gigi/KO/Bass/Wallace/Young
Fives: Overpay Mid/Low tier free agent on 1/2 year deal (Ajinca, Biyombo..)/2nd rounder(or summer standout)/Colton Iverson/

Good for 26 wins and the 2nd pick next year. We are not getting any FAs this year. Blow it up properly.

P.S not sure if this puts salary over the minimum.. any help?

Awful

[I told you so]

You're only kidding ... Right?

[slamtheking]

what's the point?  to beat out the Nets for the worst pick so we have the top 2 picks and can wait 5-7 years until we might get to the playoffs again?

Do you even watch the games? Seriously. Why would we want to do that to the Celtics and ourselves.

Whether we get any big name free agents this summer makes no difference.  This team has improved and will continue to improve in the future. 

While most Celtic fans want to see the rebuilding process expedited, I'm comfortable with the progress made so far and have every confidence that the team will continue to sign the best players available, the best to fit into the system of Coach Stevens, and the best to be competitive in not only the weaker Eastern Division, but the entire NBA.

A pox on your 26 wins.

[I told you so]

Well since you're going for the complete tank, don't forget to dump Brad Stevens.  Based on what he accomplished with this year's revolving door roster, he might be able to get 30-35 wins out of that collection of trash you're proposing to play next year with. 

Get serious!

This a joke right?

Give Bass 10m?

Sorry but is OP Brandon Bass in disguise

[max215]

Excellent satire! Step #2 is my favorite.

[Denis998]

What's the point in tanking if Brooklyn is already doing it for us.

[gpap]

Wow……just wow.

I say we take this one step further and just purposely go 0-82.

[tazzmaniac]

26 wins most likely would give us the 5th or 6th worst so it wouldn't even put us inline for the #2 pick.  You'd need to get rid of Thomas to really tank.
