I just posted a thread the talk today is that Ainge is going all out in signing Durant and Horford. If he gets Horford, Durant comes in play--he has told Ainge Horford is a guy he would like to play with. They are one of few teams that have room for two max players.

I expect Ainge to go all out to sign Horford and Durant. From that standpoint, his draft makes sense.

Agreed on this. Even if Durant is not in play, with our system, Horford will be free agent priority #1. Ryan Anderson/Jared Dudley will be FA priority #2.

I think we deliberately avoided drafting a Center to our roster this season (that's evident by us trading a lottery-projected center when we could pick him in the 2nd round), we're going to make a big swing at a DMC trade centered around next year Nets pick, Amir and Crowder.

We want Horford on our team, but I'm not sure if they have him slotted as a PF or a C. I think other moves will dictate this

Horford says he wants to play the 4, and honestly he would best fit Stevens system as a stretch 4. Instant improvement over Sullinger.

I think Cousins is untouchable and with next year being a strong draft, not sure if I want to give up 2017 Nets Pick for 1.5 Years of Cousins (I think DMC will be traded at the deadline but not this offseason).

Ryan Anderson is a Cali-guy and I think he will sign in his home state (maybe with Sacramento). Dudley is definitely an option though if we re-sign Turner then probably not.
