1. Wallace for his useless contract which does nothing but bad thing for us. His contract is worthy of a player of dbl-dbl stature which he is lightyears away. He will go if we attach a 1st pick to him and send him to another postcode.

2. Jeff Green who is another player on a huge contract not reflecting his stats. He should be easy to get off the books and if we got a deal for him then execute it if it helps us.

3. Rajon Rondo. As much as I like Rondo I cannot look beyond the fact that he is getting very close to 30 and we got Smart as an obvious younger and cheaper PG taking over the helm. Rondo is a great player and would kick a fuss around the league if we offered him around but we would need a great return - ie. Picks, young players etc.

In Danny Ainge I Trust!

The notion that Jeff Green has a huge contract is laughable.

I personally want Bass gone the most, not because of anything he does or doesn't do. but he's likely one of our easiest tradable assets and he's not a great fit for this young squad. he'd be better on a veteran, contending team giving them quality limited mins.

I would have chosen Wallace but no smart team is taking him. Green would have been my choice but we do need a SF, at least he has a good game once a month.

  Just curious, but why does somebody need to go?

isn't the point to get better?

Bass does nothing to do that, he's more valuable at this point as a tradable asset.

Green and Wallace are horrible for different reasons.

Bradley is always injured, takes bad shots.

Bayless is just a horrible tweener no better than Crawford.

if we can get better or get an upgrade on any of these players via trade or free agency shouldn't we do so?
I voted Bayless without hesitation. There is a logjam in the backcourt now with our draft picks. I don't see anyone else on the list that really 'needs' to go. if no deals are made (unlikely), resign Hump for MLE money and go with a front court rotation of Hump, Sully, Bass, Green, Olynyk, Wallace.
