Always felt 5 guys on rookie deals was the max youth you want on a roster at least if you are focused on winning. C's definitely have too many young guys and hopefully next year Danny consolidates assets and moves a few young guys for one of two championship pieces.

I agree watching a team with self developed prospects is the most rewarding type of team in the NBA.

In terms of roster construction I feel Ainge is at a point where some minor roster consolidation is needed and a least a 1 year injection of a vet shooter is needed off the bench.

Porier needs to be cleared off the roster

Wanamaker is likely a roster casualty and I expect Romeo earns his minutes and Smart sees more PG min

Semi is likely to find minutes hard to come by again and should probably be traded in the offseason. I would consider using him and the Cs own pick to target a player early then #17. Maybe Hampton or Maxey if they are available in the 12-15 range?

Edwards I could be another player worked into a trade. Either that or he will be in a summer league/training camp battle for his Celtics like with Waters

I think its a tricky question because it depends on who you can get.  Sure saying get Rose is great but it is not a unilateral choice  to get Rose.  We can't just make anything happen.  A lot of people wanted Tyler Herro, who turned out to be the real deal.  He wet a pick before ours so we couldn't pick him.  But what if we could?  He would have been better than much of what we could have picked up for the veteran minimum.  When we picked Edwards, I had visions of the NCAA tournament and thought he was ready to be our back up point guard.  I was ready to be done with Wannamaker, but it turned out Edwards is not ready and Wannamaker was much better this year.  In that case the veteran was better.  But then Grant Williams did  as well or better a job than some veteran journeymen would have been able to get.  But than Clarke looked better than Williams.  But that is still a rookie in our draft range.     

When you're drafting before free agency you don't know who you can really get so you try and fill holes in the draft as best you can.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Danny use all 3 first round picks and the second rounder.  At the same time I could see him trading one or two of those picks out of the draft for a pick or two next year.   The draft and stash hasn't worked well for us so I'm thinking he doesn't do that again. 

I'm ok with Wannamaker.  He knows his role, does it well enough and doesn't mess with team chemistry.  Rose was a league MVP.  He wants to be a star again.  So will he be ok being behind Kemba and Smart when Kemba has a 1 for 12 first half or Smart has one of his just dreadful shooting nights?  I think we have our pecking order solidly in place for the 1-3 spot.  I'm not willing to give up on the potential of Langford to get a guy of even JJ Redicks quality.  Any guard or wing we get will have to know they are 3 or 4 on the depth chart and the good ones wont want that.  We need help in the 4 & 5 spot.  I think there is room there to bring in a guy who can start or move to the starting role.  Good big men are more rare then wings and guards so they cost more.  It is  going to be hard to get one of those bigs who can come in and start or play significant minutes.  Kanter was literally the best of the bunch within our price range and he had nights he played less than 10 minutes because his defense was so bad. 

We don't have the cap space to over pay for a top line free agent, se we have to trade and we don't want to give up our really good players.  To make a trade for a guy like Lauri Markkanen who could easily be our starting 4 and push Hayward too the bench to make a stronger second unit, Danny would have to job the Bulls into believing in the potential greatness of Carson Edwards and his cheap as dirt contract, along with Grant Williams and possibly Rob Williams as well.   

Realistically, I think if we are gong to get better at the 4 and 5 spot we need to hit dead on in the draft and/or both our Williams need to set up big time next year.
