I have no idea what the actual roster is..

I got a general gist of it. But it seems like Crawford or Brooks may be traded, with Humpries/Wallace already on the trading block.

Randolph may not come back, and Barbosa has stated numerous times his return to the Celtics. Although, I seriously doubt he's coming back unless he doesn't mind playing 7-10 minutes. Because I really don't see Barbosa anywhere on the line up especially with Pressey, Rondo, Bradley, Lee, Brooks, Bogans, and Crawford as our guards.

Fab Melo going to D-League most likely. Will be cut or UFA if he doesn't improve enough to warrant a call up. Colton Iverson may come onto our roster.

PG, Rondo, Pressey
SG Bradley, Lee, Bogans, Crawford, Brooks
SF Green, Wallace
PF, KO, Sully, Bass, Humphries
C, Randolph? Iverson? Melo?

I'm pretty sure I'm missing someone else.

I think Humphries may be traded for a second round pick or at least something with a non-guaranteed contract. Or we may just keep him, and try to trade other role players like Bass, or Lee.

Randolph may be cut though.

I'm so confused at our roster. I know we're over the cap roster limit. But who do you think is staying, and going?

We're going to at least cut 2-3 guards out. Kris Joseph definitely isn't coming back either.

Your list looks good. But I think they keep Iverson and not Randolph. He gets cut...Melo spends time in D league

I think they have to move a SG...just a glut...Bogans and/or Crawford. Like Brooks..keep him...other than the picks he is the only good thing coming from NJ

Also feel there is a glut at PF..Sully and KO are foundations for the future...i would hope they move bass or humphries

The main players I'd like to see moved:

Bass, Crawford, Bogans, Melo.

I think Humphries and his expiring is our best bet to get some talent out there, we'll see.

Moving him for a pure salary dump move serves no purpose other than not seeing him wearing great, which a part of me thinks is good enough... but that's not basketball related.

Agreed. I don't see Bogans, and Crawford staying. Bogans is staying until November, and Crawford isn't going to be guaranteed, as he seems like he'll be trade bait. Iverson may replace Randolph. It'll be a shame, I really liked Randolph felt he could be a good player with Rondo, and with the right coach. Plus I loved his hustle which always is granted a tommy point.

I think Iverson/Melo may be our two Centers, Melo getting 10-15 minutes. And Iverson getting the majority of it. Or even KO may start as Center, Iverson may be the back up, and we may play a big 4/5 of KO/Iverson, and small ball 4/5 of Sully/KO.

Either way, I like our 4 young big prospects. I think we definitely need to trim down our SG for sure...

Do you think Barbosa will be able to come back next year?

All of the 4 listed can definitely be moved. Bass/Melo/Bogans for cap space in the future, and Melo despite his inferior IQ, still has potential as a project.

Humphries I agree will be a great trade asset, especially with the FA 2015 looking strong. He may be packaged, along with a few un-guaranteed contracts.

This list is missing Kris Joseph (not that he's likely to stay on the roster).
