Cap experts, can we assemble this team now

[KG Living Legend]

 Trade Bradley for a pick this year. Someone in the 15 to 22 range. TJ leaf, Harry Giles, John Collins, Patton, Rabb.

 Sign Hayward. At that point can we bring back Kelly and Yabu and Zizic? Or do we have to leave one or both out.

 If we can field this team that would be aces.

 Horford Olynyk Zizic
 Crowder Yabu Leaf
 Hayward Brown
 Fultz Smart
 Thomas Rozier

 This team makes me giddy Lol.

Basically no. Yab has to stay overseas. As you are trading Bradley for a pick this year you would need to move Rozier as well. Basically Rozier or Leaf in your scenario.

Fultz starting at sg from day 1? Don't see that happening. I don't think he's a starter in the league yet. Remember Russell in LA struggled to stick in the starting line up and we are far more experienced than that side.

 I mean Smart would start short term. It's the future look of the team. Also Fultz is world's better than Russell.

 Fultz could actually be an elite defender, he's also much more athletic than Russell.

Yeah I agree, Fultz will come into the league better than Russell did too. I just mean it's rare for a rookie of any stature to impact a veteran team. I think Jaylen exceeded expectations this year. I'd see Fultz doing about the same. Which coincidentally lines up with taking Roziers minutes...

 Jaylen may have exceeded expectations but Again Fultz is world's better than Brown.

 Sometimes Brown can't really dribble. Fultz is amazing at everything.

Once The Celtics do cap out they can sign their own players and go over the Cap. With so many young guys you keep them all or as many as you can. This off season is going to be the last cap room The Celtics see for the next 10 years. That's why all those picks are so important.

Yab isn't staying overseas. The guy came to the Red Claws, remember?

Brown could also likely fill in at SG for some minutes if Bradley was moved. Or you sign a moderate vet to a 1 or 2 year contract (aka Gerald Green) in an emergency. Fultz probably could start Day One - or at least contribute significant minutes at the start. Smart could take over at PG for some minutes and IT can play off the ball. There's many options here.

We're almost certainly going to lose Bradley at the end of next year so he's probably getting moved. Which makes me sad because I'm a big Bradley fan.

No, we need a big.

Blake Griffin in free agency, or Porzingis, Anthony Davis, & DeAndre Jordan via trade if any are available.
