Never really saw the acquisition of White as being a move to replace Bass. Interesting thought considering how similar they are.

Bass has been a bit of an albatross this season.

Don't know if Bass would fetch much, though. Forcing a trade is likely just going to water down talent.

Regardless, Bass's recent play is very promising and I wouldn't mind keeping him as long as we have Sully in front.

Sully + White = 1 win, 82 losses

btw thanks, krook

Bass is a bench player who Doc uses as a starter. The team would be better off if he is traded.

If Bass is a bench player, who would be your generic starting PF?

[CelticsFan9]

Boston lacks a starting big outside of KG.  Nobody else on their roster is a starting-level talent at the PF position.

Trading Bass won't make that situation any better.

the word albatross is used way out of context sir..he is neither or nor..

Since when has Bass ever been a cornerstone of our team? Regardless, if Bass is traded it'll probably be alongside other parts and/or picks in order to upgrade at his position. Don't see us trading Bass for a 1, 2, or 3 with the logjam we have at those spots already. So to answer your question, yes, we'll be okay.

I doubt White is on our roster next year and this draft will have some bigs in the mid-teens that could contribute immediately (Olynyk, Plumblee, etc.). So we could conceivably draft Olynyk or Plumblee, have Sullinger back, use the MLE on a serviceable big man, and upgrade the Bass position in a supposed Bass + parts off-season trade.

Bass is getting so underrated. Tell me when Shavlik or DJ get offered 6mil/yr for 4 years. Yeah, I don't think so.

Avian..

  Sullinger's a starting-level talent if he plays as well as he did in January next season.

Not if he keeps fouling at an incredible rate.
