At least heading into the season, I expect the following as the projected lineup:

Rondo / Pressey / Crawford
Bradley / Lee / Brooks
Green / Wallace / Joseph
Sullinger / Bass
Humphries / Olynyk / Iverson / Melo

I think Rondo will get traded by the deadline, though.  Sullinger will be brought back slowly.  I'd expect Humphries to get shopped heavily, too. 

Overall I expect a 25-30 win campaign out of this group, with the possibility to go much lower if Rondo doesn't come back until close to mid-way through the season.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

My guess is that Danny would like to know exactly what he has with Sully, Kelly O and to a small degree Brooks, before 2014 draft - to have a feel for what is needed, and so I would expect those three to see tons of minutes right off the bat.

PG Rondo
SG Brooks
C Olynyk
SF Green*
PF Sully

Bench

PG:Bradley
SG Lee
SF Wallace, Bogan
PF Bass, Humphries
C Bass, Humphries, Melo

If your name was not mentioned, you are in the odd-men-out group and so we have no plans for you.

* It is very important keeping JGreen at the 3.  This is where he is valuable.

dude olynyk is not a center in the nba

I hear yah, but we need to find minutes for him and I doubt they'll sit Sully, so I am thinking Center.

The dude has skills you know.  He'll find a way. Actually, I am a bit more worried about Sully cause he really has trouble getting his shot off.

Tell Rondo to pull a D Rose and sit out all year. Start Fab Melo. Don't play Green or even Bradley for more than 20 minutes for "health reasons". Instant top 5 pick.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

PG: Not Rondo, he'll be traded
SG: Bradley
SF: Jeff Green
PF: Crash Wallace
C: Humphries

PG: 1st place winner on the 'nobody else wants us' pile of refuse.
SG: Marshawn Brooks
SF: Oh I don't even care anymore
PF: I literally cannot tell you how demoralizing this trade is.
C: I mean just let them expire if the other option is acquiring Kris Humphries and Gerald Wallace.

Deep Bench: And Kelly Olynyk? KELLY OLYNYK? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Good god in heaven that is a terrible pick.

Post of the year nominee, IP!  Thank you so much! 

I'm pretty conflicted about all of the recent events but, at least, here's another silver lining .. we get to take the absolute p--- out of sucky players on our team for a while?  No?  A community of malcontents?  Some of you have been through this together before .. what's the protocol?
