PG-Rondo

SG-Marcus Smart (who I actually want to see get drafted. I like that kid and like his fire. I know he's a point but they can start him at the 2 and can also back up Rondo.)
I know everyone wants to see either Parker, Embiid or Wiggins, but I just don't think the Celts will get that high of a pick.

SF-Luol Deng or Trevor Ariza (like both guys, great scorers and more consistent than Jeff Green. Both guys will be free agents this summer. Maybe work out a sign and trade deal this summer for either player involving Jeff Green and filler)

PF-Josh Smith (deal Wallace, Avery Bradley and our 2014 Brooklyn pick or 2015 Clippers pick on draft night to get Smoove.)

C-Marcin Gortat (if we can nab him with whatever cap space we have this summer, that would be awesome!)

Sullinger as your 6th man.

Dude. That team can't shoot. Like at all. That would be the worst collection of shooters to take the floor together in the entire league. Average game score 61-56

Danny would need to trade Jeff Green for a cloning machine first.

Oh wait, we need to be realistic? That's no fun. How about this then?

Rondo
Hayward
Wiggins or Parker
Sullinger
Asik

I think that's within reason and a well-balanced team.

Looks undersized to me. No real center. No thanks on the small ball.

Yeah that would be a brutal team to watch on offense.

My "dream" semi-realistic squad.

Rondo
Afflalo
Free Agent Signing
Sullinger

Well sure, I hope we can do better as well. I always hope we can do better but I was keeping it realistic.

I don't think it's "realistic" to expect a Carmelo Anthony or Kevin Love type move as the percentages for that happening are likely very low.

Sullinger as your 6th man.

I'd call this lineup more of a nightmare.

I have no interest whatsoever in Marcus Smart and his anger management issues. None. Don't care to EVER see him in green.

Don't like Smith's game at all, and have no interest in him unless Detroit is in fire-sale mode.

Gortat doesn't fit with this group of younger players, either, as a slow pick-and-pop guy.

I'll pass on this off-season in its entirety.

Rondo/Pressey
Stevenson, Hayward, or Exum/Chris Johnson
Wiggins, Parker, or Hayward/Dunleavy, Chris Johnson
Sullinger/Olynyk
Embiid, Monroe, or Asik/ Olynyk

This lineup is technically possible to have for next year. I think it would be a good one too. good shooters off the bench, good shooting wings, strong post presence but with some range too, and an actual center. And while Asik is the only true rim protector, either Embiid or Monroe could easily develop a better defensive game with the right coaching.

I would like to see Danny draft Marcus Smart.  So much talent, just needs to get that head set.

Trade Bass to Spurs or Bobcats, get expiring contract plus a pick in the 25-30 range.

Trade Olynyk, Vitor, Clips pick, Nets/Hawks pick for Greg Monroe. 

Extend Monroe 4 years, 44 mil.  Bradley for 4 years 28 mil.

Draft Parker or Wiggins.

Resign Humphries for 4.5 mil, Bayless for 3.  Both for two years.

Will need those contracts to come off books when it's time for Sullinger to get paid.  Will need Wallace's money and probably Green by the time it comes up to paying Wiggins/Parker.

Rondo. Bayless
Parker or Wiggins.   Bradley
Green.  Wallace
Sullinger.  Humphries
Monroe. Iverson

Will also be able to draft a replacement for Olynyk if a decent player can be had in the 25-30 range.
