The problem is that our only "hole" would be center and these are the 2017 free agent centers: http://hoopshype.com/2017/01/25/nba-free-agency-2017-centers/

There is a lot more talent at PF, but that would probably not sit great with Horford.  I suppose we could sign Blake or Milsap and draft Fultz.  We'd probably also have to sign Kelly, can we afford this team:

IT / Smart / Rozier
Bradley / Fultz / Demetrius Jackson
Crowder / Brown
Blake / KO / Yabu
Hoford / Zizic / Zeller

14 active, plus our 3 second rounders. 

?

How can you sign Blake while keeping Olynyk and all our top players, adding also a nº 1 pick salary + Zizic + Yabu?

If we want to get a top free agent, some difficult moves need to be done, salary cap wise.

I'd have nightmares of 1986 all over again.  It wasn't the #1, but it was still the #2.   :'(

This is based on a shower thought I had a few days ago after we got walloped by the Cavs.  Now I know this is pretty much very improbable, but what if the stars align and we end up winning both #18 and #1? What would our offseason be like? How would you like it to be like?

I hope this ends up a fun discussion and not about how delusional this thinking is or how we are gonna end up with the fourth pick, lose IT to injury and get eliminated in the first round.
We're Boston. It could totally happen.
