What does everyone think?

Is this the lineup we are going to enter the season with?

Do we now wait til September 12th so Ainge can package Wallace and Humphries?

Is there another blockbuster deal to be made or is it just crickets?

By the way, how awkward was that press conference on Monday?

I am curious too. But I am more fascinated by how Steven's coaches because to me how he coaches determines what kind of players we get.  I am really curious and optimistic how this evolves.

More excited about our coaching staff and what it can do about our current lineup rather than how Ainge will trim down our roster into 15... unless he can pull another stealth trade
Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about money, masters worry about light… I just take pictures…

I think it'll be small moves, before the season starts. Then at the deadline I think we sell of players like Bass, Lee, and Humphries if a contender needs to add someone.

I wouldn't be shocked if we did a deal where we sent out a bunch of guys and only brought back one, so that we had room to bring in Pressey and Iverson.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Oh yeah, I forgot that part.

Because clearly every championship team has only 1 point guard, 5 shooting guards, 4 power forwards and no center ;)

It's the new normal! ;)

That's 1 PG coming back from ACL; 5 shooting guards who really can't shoot; 4 power forwards: one bad back, one rook, one reality star, and Bass; and a Melo in a D-ee-League!

I would. Though it looks like he's in talks with literally every team in the NBA.

I'm sure Danny is looking to trade up...multiple players for one that fits...perhaps a C or SG that can shoot.

How messed up is it to have so many non-3pt shooting SG's?

The standard package of expirings plus prospect/pick for big talent could work out quite well.  Hump, Nets 2014, Clips 2015 picks, plus a crap contract like Lee is worth, what, an out-of-place max contract player or just-past-peak star?

Add that to Rondo/Green, and we have something going for next year.

Danny stands pat until the opportunity presents, though.

For me it all hinges on the Center position.  Is this team really going in to the 2013-14 season with Chris Humphries as the starter? He seems to be the logical choice unless your willing to give away inches with either Bass or Sully.  I don't think any of the youngs bigs are ready and KO is really a PF anyway.

If not Humphries, the next move cleans up the roster and gives us a legit starting center. You can manage every other position with what we have.
