  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
In a dream world Draymond Green would be the best fit.

Of those currently playing and might be available I'd say Blake Griffin.

If we can't get any superstar I'd go after Millsap on a 2 year deal- he's still a baller and would make us very very good if we could add him and another real star like Butler or PG13.

I would also give Carmelo a year here and see how he fits if he's cheap.

"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Yabu if he reaches his potential or Porzingis if we get him for cheap

It's gotta be Draymond Green or...Draymond Green. Maybe Durant or Lebron but that's stretching the limits of this exercise right?

This.

Draymond is exactly where the powerforward position is going. He can basically guard 1-5, he can shoot the 3, run the break, and rebounds. He basically a perfect mix between the small forward and power forward position. He gives your team all the advantages of small ball, with none of the disadvantages.
To be fair, Lebron could duplicate the Draymond role. He is just too good to limit his contribution that way.

Whoever that dream fit at PF is he must be multi-skilled - someone who fits in Coach Steven's system.

OR - has the potential to GROW into that kind of player.

I don't know how peeps can even consider Yabusele given what we have seen of him in Maine.  Mickey routinely outperformed him and we all know how solid of a NBA baller he is folks.  I get he is young and will improve but he has a long way to go.

I was joking lol, but Yabusele really has some potential. I'm pretty high on Mickey as well, think they'll at least be solid rotation big men in their primes

Giving how Ainge did not get us help on the boards at the trade deadline, one has to guess whether he will address it.

DA doesn't value the importance of good big men. He is small ball or bust.  No reason we couldn't have gotten help for IT and company this year.  One big mans rebounding inside presence would give this team a huge lift with extra chances and toughness inside.

Why? To give up a couple of assets just to lose to Cleveland in six games instead of four? The time to improve is this summer with the top-4 pick, Zizic and a free agent. With no extra cost. Or a big name trade.

Horford! Now we need a center a little bigger and tougher than him but similar.

interesting ones would be Dario Saric and Aaron Gordon.

Dont see either as particularly available, but both front offices are fairly incompetent, so you could feasibly get a deal done.

We have many assets.  I would never give up the nets pick but any other picks could have gotten another big rebounder type to help.  Of course you don't give up the farm but a little help would have been nice especially seeing Johnson crap all of the court this playoff.
