Alright lets start off with signing AB to his QO, I dont believe he gets an offer from anyone due to injury concerns. I match anything up to 5 mil per thats it.

Id also say cut Fav.

Trade Gerald Wallace, their own future pick back and a future 2nd to the 76ers for Richardson expiring and Mullens expiring.

I know this is weird but a S/T of Crawford back to us for 3 years 9.5mil. for Joel Anthony Expiring, and a future second.

Next trade Bass expiring a future 2nd and Bogans to the Rockets for Asik expiring straight up. Bass gives them a good big off the bench and bogans can be used as a good trade chip to help them move the Lin contract or give them cap relief.

Draft: If we are lucky Parker if not Smart. at 17: Id say take a high upside develepmentol guy like Jerimi Grant. Can play SF and PF and can guard 2-4.

This sets up our roster for a major amount of cap space in 2015 while still giving us a very respectable roster this year. I am willing to give green starter minutes at the 2 for a nice change up especially if we get Parker. If it doesnt work we can always just change it back.

Rondo-Crawford-Pressey             Rondo-Crawford-Pressey             
Green-Bradley-Richardson  or      Smart-Bradley-Richardson
Parker-Grant-Green                     Green-Grant-Johson
Sullinger-KO-Grant                       Sullinger-KO-Grant
Osik-KO-Mullens                           Asik-KO-Mullens


I like grant especially because we is the type of high flying athlete we really dont have on this team and in a few years he could possibly take over the SF position after Green leaves.

Asik, Richardson, Mullens, and Bradley will all expire so we should have ample cap space come 2015.

I think either of those rosters are playoff rosters in the anywhere from 4-8 seed.

What do you guys think?

How are we getting picks FOR Wallace? We'd have to give up picks in order to unload him.

Ah I see.  The resulting team is still very young, and I think it'd be no sure thing that Rondo would re-sign, let alone getting a big time free agent to join the team.

Say we make the move for Love. Rondo-Green-Parker-Love-Asik not to bad with KO as your sixth man and crawford off the bench as well.

The 3/4/5 of that team is awfully slow. Would make playoffs because the East stinks, but not really a contender.

We still have our 2015 and the possible really high valued clippers pick next year plus a ton of cap space to add to it
