Yes, it's likely we're building with the Jays, but how would you go about filling some of the roster holes we have and depth? Any trades in mind? Signings using our exceptions? Trades using our picks?

I think Capela suddenly becomes a name we'll hear a lot going forward even if it's unlikely. Same with Russell if Kyrie signs with the Nets and a S&T idea is floated. Conley too though I think that's super unlikely and a bad idea.

What do you guys have in mind now that the AD saga is (finally) over?

Source:  D’Angelo Russell has interest in playing for Boston Celtics or NY Knicks if Kyrie Irving signs with Nets.. no word yet if those teams have mutual feeling #NBAFreeAgency


Celtics better make a move on DLO quickly instead of stalling and doing nothing.

There is no next target.

The plan now is be young and fun and build around The Jay's.

Reevaluate in four to five years when there might be a great player available.

Kyrie is leaving. It’s why Ainge refuses to make Tatum part of a trade. The only chips Ainge had to keep Davis here was having Kyrie resign and pairing them together in hopes that Davis changed his mind and would resign.

I think Bradley Beal could be an available target.

Idk if we go after him, but he could still be one.

Let's trade for Jrue Holiday.

Surely after the AD trade, the Pelicans would be willing to move him now.

I’d sign a good floor general like Rubio and run it back. I know that Kyrie is way better than Rubio, but who knows if you bring in a rondo type in Brad Stevens  offense it might just work. We would theoretically be a top tier team. Continue to develop youngsters, draft well (maybe trade picks for deferred picks), someday hope to land a big free agent and get lucky.

I'd love to add Rubio. Or Beverley, for his grit/toughness and meanwhile maybe we could make Hayward more of our "Point Forward"  ;D

Agree, this team needs a true pass first PG.

Rubio would be awesome. I'd love to see Jaylen and Tatum get to play with a guard who prioritizes getting them the ball.

Do we have enough money to offer Brogdon so that the Bucks won't match?  I don't know if D'Angelo will fit with Jayson and Jalen.
