Danny and Doc thought at the trading deadline that this team had no shot past the second round. And if Rose didn't get hurt they would've  been right.  But Rose did hurt and the team showed great heart.  now the question is since it seems that Rose will be out next year, does the big 4 have enough  to make another run. 

I think if Ray, Paul and KG agree to cut minutes and  free agents give home town discounts (Bass).  Add Jeff Green,  AB, sign another 4-5 together with Stiemsma and this might have a chance.

,Unit A.  Pierce, Ray, KG (fa pf/c), Rondo
Unit B : JG, Bass, AB, Stiemer, Moore
Unit C:  JJJ, pick, Wilcox,

The key is can the C's get a quality 4/5? And do Danny and Doc feel that the big 3 have enough left for another run.

I think Bradley starts and Ray comes off the bench. I would much rather see Wilcox as the first big off the bench and Stiemsma behind him if he stays around.

They definitely have enough for another run and the value of keeping them around the young guys as they grow to instill the culture? Huge..

Whether they can win a title or not depends on what we can get for our front court.

I'd argue that if we could re-sign Jeff green, even sign something like Aaron Gray and Illyasova or Carl Landry, we will look incredible next season.

Do you think KG and Ray take MLE type money? I think they do if its lets then sign a legit big man.

I'd love Carl Landry exactly what we need rebounder and post presence, has the Celtic attitude of laying it all out there...

Whoever the C's get or keep.  Need to make sure Doc plays them.  I mean of course other than the Big 3. 

Next year 82 games + a deep playoff run.  Don't know if KG RA and PP are up for that.

Need to limit those 3 to under 30 min per game. 

Let AB/JG/Bass pick up the slack. Get ETM and JJJ into the rotation.

Big key for next year Rondo needs to become a 20 ppg player.

No more dribbling for 15 seconds at the top of the key. If they RR the space he needs to pull up for that J.  What I noticed is that when his mind set is that he will score. He shoots better and his accuracy goes way up.  he needs that mind set much more next season.
