Pacers have to be dealing one of their bigs maybe Langford was their pick?
Langford for Sabonis? Prefer Turner but don’t think that’s viable.

I have no idea. Just think Langford helps sell tickets for them more than he does for us. Maybe it's Goga and they are taken in salary (Yab) with Langford when they renounce a few cap holds. Dany did move down spots to shed Baynes maybe this was the same thing. All just guessing.

Ps: It would be pie in the face at everyone saying, "they blew it not taking Goga" if they got Goga and shed salary.

Maybe the plan is to use part of that money to extend Jaylen Brown when the time comes.

How about Towns and Wiggins for Williams, Hayward, Brown and Memphis pick? Would our cap space enable this deal to work cap wise? Sota trying to dump Wiggins. Maybe they regret signing Towns to such a big contract?

Or we could give them the Bucks pick to dump Wiggins, and take back Towns for the above assets assuming we don’t want Wiggins contract.

Dunno if Towns worth it really. Or whether Sota would give him without more back, such as more picks.

If we end up with a team with Tatum, Towns, and whatever, I would be very happy. I don't really care how we get to that point or the bad contracts we would have to take on, just having those two players to begin our rebuild would be incredible.

I do not think a "rebuild" is in the Celtics future.  I think both Ainge and Stevens want to challenge for the Eastern Conference again next year.

Then he would've went all in on Anthony Davis, re-sign Kyrie Irving. Next season would have been win or bust for the Celtics.

Keeping Irving and getting Davis is not the only path to contention when there's approximately 500 players in the NBA.

I sure hope you're right. We've already been through a rebuild from 2013 all the way through when we got Irving and Hayward in 2017.

Danny is going after Vucevic.

Add him, and we are a very good team.

We've been through a rebuild in 2013, true.

But Ainge didn't do it right.

It was hardly a rebuild as the Celts only spent one season in the lottery.

If the Celts stayed 3 seasons in the lottery, Celts would have gotten another lottery pick in 2015, and would have had 2 lottery picks in 2016.

Durant- Linked to Warriors (who can pay the most), Knicks, Nets (With Kyrie). Torn Achilles adds risk.

Kawhi- Just won title with TOR, linked to LAC (home sweet home)

Butler- PHI rumored to be willing to go full five year max, rumored to want to play with Kyrie

Irving- He's gone

Horford- Linked to LAC (with Kawhi), Dallas (112 Million!?!)

Harris- Not worth a max, redundant with our wings.

Russel-Maybe if BRK renounces him, PHO, CHI, LAL all rumored

Vuc- Do we really want a 29 year old max center for four years? Nope. Just takes shots from the Jays. Overrated, had his best year in a contract year. Didn't show up in playoffs.

Kemba- Do we wnat a r year max small PG? That player type does not age well. Also, CHA can pay him about 60 something million more than BOS can.

In short, I'm not seeing a viable free agents option here.

It's always a nice conversation when you answer your own questions.

I've got a couple

1.)Why wouldn't the Celts want a 29 year old center when they need size? Also, why so much concern over taking shots away from Tatum and Brown? Are they going to be the only 2 guys on the team?

2.)What harm does it do to make Kemba an offer? And how do you know how well he's going to age? Were not going to be signing him until he's 90.

And that's the 3 seasons of Celtics basketball that I would not have watched.

The Celtics should never plan for mediocrity...when it occurs, it should be because of bad circumstances and bad luck.

It’s impossible that Danny is relying on Theis (unsigned and coming off a disappointing season) and Bob at the 5.  Add with their lack of strength/size at the 4 — no chance he doesn’t have a plan. He may or may not already have a deal in place, but he isn’t standing pat. 

Also too much weakness at the 1 unless Branny are thinking that Marcus is ready for the starting pg role.  I seriously doubt that TR is considered their answer at the 1.

If Smart is our starting PG, we are in big trouble..

I would resign Rozier (i know lots of ppl hates him but think Ainge will)
Sign Randle at PF..
Sign 2 Centers to rotate..Noel, Bryant, Dedmon,Katner, Lopez(either one)
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

I like your plan, but as others I am skeptical of Rozier.  But his run as a starter in 17-18 was impressive and I haven’t forgotten. I question whether Danny is as much of a TR fan as he appears.  I think the coolness of the approach with Terry has to do with trepidation about influencing his value.  I think they try to S&T Terry if possible and if not they have a not too high bar they won’t cross if matching or resigning.
