Jared Weiss: Ainge says he’s amazed but he caliber of players who are still free agents right now, but he wants to go into camp giving players who didn’t play much last year a chance to show what they can do before going to the FA market to round out the roster. That’s vital for Javonte Green 2 hours ago – via Twitter JaredWeissNBA
If the quote is accurate, I think what Danny is saying is let's see what we have before trying to add to it. I think they should wait until Jan or even Feb before deciding what pieces to add. Let's see how injured Kemba is. Let's see if Theis remembers how to shoot the 3. See how the rookies and other non-rotation players step up.
Based on all that, it will be a clearer picture what we need.
Plus I am not sure the FA market is where we will find the players but that is literally what Danny is quoted as saying. We don't have any cap or exceptions (assuming the BAE is used for Teague, which is not know at this point) to sign any FAs. We have TPEs out the wazoo so I see trades being the primary mechanism for bringing in players.
