I thought it might be fun to play the prediction game.

Predict whether we make any more roster moves this season. It can be before the All Star break or a 'bought out FA' after we cut someone or both.


I think Danny will wait a couple more week to make sure Perk, KG and Delonte are ok before he does anything though. If one of them doesnt come back that could change everything. Do we want to go into the playoffs undermanned, without homecourt and with a low seed?

I think we will make a minor deal to shore up the bench but nothing earth shattering.

I vote for Minor deal with no long term financial impact.



Ainge does like to look for good deals that help the Celtics, no matter how small.

My guess is that Danny does nothing to change the roster this season.
DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

No trade. We are deep. Our depth in the front court is a little too inexperienced but it's only a problem because KG, Shaq, Perkins, and JO (our main four big guys) are all suffering from injury issues.

Danny is sitting in the catbird seat for sure.  Our team is good enough if complete and healthy to win it all.  He won't need to do any drastic moves, if something really good comes along then he can do a trade.  Pretty easy to stand pat with the current roster.

Stand pat -- full roster with everyone except Bradley contributing.

Too many health concerns with the bigs to move one of them which limits their trade assets.

It doesn't look like much will become available in the buyout market either.

stand pat. i don't see any future chemistry problems and i don't see any good players being bought out. Billups, if traded, will surely go back to the Nuggets.

I agree with standing pat but I see Bradley as being able to contribute in spots for defensive purposes.  From that perspective, the C's are loaded from spots 1-15 with players that can contribute.  Considering only 12 dress for a game, that's an impressive accumulation of talent by Danny this year.

If the playoffs started today, no way Bradley contributes.  He's just not ready.

Well the playoffs are not today! Avery is not supposed to be ready yet and I'm willing to give him some time.

The only move I could see being make is if Danny is sure he won't be resigning Davis after this year. Than I could see him moving Baby depending what was offered.

Bradley will be on the inactive roster just like Semih and Gody.  He won't be contributing in the playoffs regardless of whether he improves this year beyond an occasional defensive specialist.
