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.

Rather go after Lonzo than Rubio.  But despite the criticism of Russell, he'd be better than both imo.  He'll grow up...he's still so young.  EDIT:  I expect Irving to choose the Lakers now...not Brooklyn...making it impossible to get Russell with sign and trade of some sort.

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.

I think Bradley Beal could be an available target.

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

There was j6st a report today that WAS has no interest and dealing him.

likely just re-signing Rozier and Morris and trotting out Rozier, Smart, Tatum, Morris, Horford with Hayward and Brown off the bench.  Decent 35-43 win team.  Possibly tanking if Horford opts out and walks.

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.

no

With Al resigning starting at 20 mill per, and without any draft picks we would have 19 mill in available space after renouncing all capholds.

If Al took a salary starting at 15, 20, 25 (if that is even possible) we could make an offer.

I also still hope that a trade for Irving Dinwiddie happens and at the least a deal for a TPE.

What's the point in bringing Morris back? We have lost, accept it. No need to pull a dead horse.

Morris and Horford was an abysmal frontcourt pairing anyway. Say goodbye to Morris and probably Rozier (unless we can sign him for a longterm-deal at around 5 million a year), don't renegotiate with Horford as there's no point. The cap space that comes available is more important than Al's future presence and his high salary coming season is no problem.

Give Tatum, Brown, Williams, Ojeleye, rookies all the chances to develop and reaccess in 2 years (when both Horford and Hayward salaries are off the books). Maybe we can strike in 2021 free agency or we have found an unexpected star, who knows.

I don't know man, it's looking like a 25-30 win team to be honest. :(
