Sounds like we're trying to clear up some cap space. But for whom?

Can't imagine that we're going to be offering someone like Middleton, or even Kemba Walker, a max. So who do we think we will end up with?

D'Lo and Cousins.

Russell could actually have a fantastic season like Irving did, improve his efficiency, and become more well rounded on defense and passing.

I think Ainge might actually take a stab at DMC, and run with both William's at the 5 in short spurts.

This allows Hayward to go from the 1 to 4 spots occasionally.

I'll take anybody. Any max level free agent. Kemba, Middleton, Vucevic...you name it. Speaking of Kemba, what a replacement he would be for Kyrie!!

Maybe D-Lo?

Would like this idea as well! Two good pick-ups to round out the 1 and 5 spot with Russell and Cousins. Plus Cousins has that mean streak which this team desperately needs. I think we're going to need an enforcer next season, especially when we see the Lakers.

Maybe 1 of Randle/Russell/Vucevic + Cousins who I don't expect will get a huge contract this summer either?

D-Lo would be good. Not sure I want another cancer in Cousins on the team after seeing what Kyrie did.

I've actually never heard a single teammate of Cousin's say anything bad about him. I think that's an internet created myth. I think he's the kind of guy you love if he's on your team and hate if you're on the opposing team. And I love having those kind of guys on our team (ala KG.)

Can we re-sign Baynes if waived by Phoenix?

I'm not sure that's even possible, let alone likely

What are people's thoughts on trading for Capela + signing DLo?

Maybe one of those guys but both?? Why? So much for handing the reins over to the J’s. Now they’re worse off than last year because Russell+Cousins would be a more high usage duo than Kyrie+Horford

He’s only a cancer to the refs.
