OK, so what does Minny have right now and what are they looking for? What do the C's have to offer? Some of this has changed, since the draft, and I think that gets us closer to actual answers.
Guys that Minny has been attached to during reports --> Klay Thompson, KO, Aaron Afflalo, David Lee, Chandler Parsons and Kenneth Faried...
Seems pretty obvious they're looking for at least one '2' guard, a '4' who could preferably stretch the floor and a '3' who has all around game...The Celtics have several pieces that could fit those roles and you start there.
Bradley --> Now locked in for four years and a guy who could be a three and 'D' off guard next to the non-shooting/non-defending Rubio. (Smart's a possibility, but still needs to improve his shooting...not sure if Minnesota wants to put Rubio & Smart together)
Green --> As much as we get frustrated with his inconsistent nature, he's close to the level of Parsons if not his equal.
Olynyk --> The perfect stretch-4 to play next to Pek...Flip has been rumored to really like him.
I think those could be three cornerstones of any deal with Minnesota to go along with two 1st round draft picks with additional cap relief...C's would also have to bring back a contract.
I also wonder, with the Morey/Ainge relationship, does DA go all out after Parsons depending on what happens with Houston...Especially if Bosh is the guy Houston eventually nets...Does Ainge offer picks and Bass to pry away Parsons, so he could then be flipped to Minnesota?
Once the Melo, LeBron, Big Three gets figured out, there are going to be tons of dominoes to fall shortly thereafter.
