i think our starting lineup will be:
PG - Bradley
SG - Lee
SF - Green
PF - Bass
C - Deandre
... Rondo will take his sweet time coming back. Sully off the bench. We'll win 25 games.
I think that team could be even worse, 18-22 win team, if you coupled it with a weak bench.
A strong bench could lift it to 25-30 wins though.
Anyway, I don't think this will happen. Rondo is expected back around training camp to November. So I don't think Boston will be bad enough to sink this low without further tearing apart the team.
You never know... Different situations but Rose was expected back in March and won't play again until October.
What are we playing for? The playoffs then bring him back.
A top 5 pick in 2014? Then why even risk it? Let him take all the time it takes and then some.
Hopefully in 2014-15 we will be stacked with some assets and we can add a couple All-Star caliber guys to go with Rondo and maybe Green. If we can get some decent value for Pierce we might have the ammunition to field a team where Jeff Green is the fourth best player on the team (however 1-3 might not be that much better).
Still look what Indiana did with a Big 3 of Hibbert, George, and West...
Add 2 guys the caliber of Josh Smith, Big Al, Paul Milsap, you know a couple talents in that tier and we can compete with anyone as long as Rondo and Green are good. Or maybe one of those guys and a guy below that tier like Gortat with a solid sixth man.
