Our Roster for next season - as of now...

[ScoobyDoo]

Melo / Olynyk / Iverson
Sully / Humphries / Bass
Green / Wallace / Joseph
Bogans / Lee / Marshon Brooks
Rondo / Bradley / Crawford

What did we win last year, forty games? Forty one?

With Rondo at the helm and that young group playing a  "hard"  48 every night, we might win more than that.

I'm not sure if that's actually the goal...but I think that group is capable of sneaking into the 7th or 8th spot.

I think there are a few more shoes to drop here, maybe another move or two to clean up the roster but as is they might win more than 41 games.

I'm excited to see the young guys get their backsides handed to them all season. Good for 'em, let them go to the school of hard knocks for a season, fastest path to growth.

I really hope that's not your proposed depth chart from our current players...

[TheTruthFot18]

Too many guards and I can't see certain guys being here come october.

Package Bass and 2 guards for a solid center and a late pick.

[lightspeed5]

you forgot to include phil pressey and lavont jones

avery is a 2


Iverson / Melo
Sully/Bass/ Olynyk (hump sits)
Green / Wallace / (Joseph cut)
Bradley / Brooks / lee/ crawford (bogans sits, jones cut.)
Rondo / Pressey

[BudweiserCeltic]

Phil Pressey

[ScoobyDoo]

No, not my depth chart, I was just lining guys up by position.

I also agree that roster most likely will look different come October.

I am not the biggest Josh Smith fan - though I do think he is a very good player, with flaws. But I still have a feeling he will be in Boston by October.

since when was avery a 1? he always starts at the 2, last season was an emergency because of rondo out.

[ScoobyDoo]

Smith to Boston would be in some sort of trade scenario.

[ScoobyDoo]

I just put Bradley at the one because we now have Bogans, Lee and Brooks who are legit twos size wise, which is something I'm a proponent of.

I don't see Bradley as a long term solution at the two spot. I think he has the heart of a lion but that he will just eventually get beaten up over the course of a season.

As an alternate scenario for him, I would be very comfortable with him being our back up point and also playing "some" minutes at the two spot.

But you could list our guard depth as:

Bogans / Lee / Brooks / Crawford / Bradley
Rondo

I just moved guys around for a three deep line up of players - in no order of superiority, particularly at the 2 and 5 spots.

But, despite being shorter, Bradley is still a better two-guard than Lee or Bogans.

[ScoobyDoo]

100% agreed re Bradley being the better two guard. I actually think he's a decent two - I just don't think his body will hold up over the course of a season, let alone a career, when playing the two spot night in and night out.

Therefore, I'd like to see him in a role of back up point and defensive specialist, with a true stud two guard starting.

Overall though, would love to see Bradley as part of our guard rotation long term. Love the kid, wish he was a bout 3 inches taller, 20 pounds heavier and a better long distance shooter, which, combined with his defense would probably make him a border line all star at the two.   

[ScoobyDoo]

Back up two guard as well...

[Geo123]

Easier said than done.  Who would do that sort of trade?

[rondoallaturca]

No center.
Too many middling PFs.
Too many middling SGs.
No good playmaker outside of Rondo.

This isn't a playoff team. Also, people need to stop praying that Bradley can turn into a decent backup PG. He won't.

[Celtics18]

Shav's still in the mix, right?
