BTW, splitting minutes doesn't matter. Assets do.

Yabu will be with the Celts or Dleague this season

You dont play with him and keep stashing him overseas

Why bring him back this past season for the dleague then?

Why not bring him to DLeague this past season?

He's not nearly NBA ready otherwise and playing in a top league overseas > DLeague next year.

Bc danny runs into a situation to upset the kid/agent... He could play very well and just stay in the euroleague

It will be hard to make this arrangement work anyways. . That is a legit league... Not baby sitter...

Sure it does. What do you think would happen with Jae Crowder if we signed Hayward and Crowder started getting less than 20 minutes a game?

I don't think Yabu will stay in China another year. Celts will have to do something with him.

I have read speculation that Yabu was drafted at #16 with the understanding that he may be stashed for 2 years.

What's that based upon?
What is your opinion to the contrary based upon?

Logic, the salary cap, and Monday's report by Steve Bulpett saying the Celts are considering keeping him abroad.

I cant see how crowder and hayward coexist..

Crowder nor hayward can guard shooting guards nor pfs full time

How did we find minutes for Paul Pierce and James Posey?

It's the same dynamic. Hayward is the starting SF. Hopefully, Crowder is the backup SF/PF.

Also, Hayward plays SG just fine.

Where do you see Jaylen Brown next season, Roy? Starting 2 guard?

I sure hope so. I think Smart starts the year there.

I'm coming around to Bradley being the odd man out, given his contract coming up in a year, and the likely cost to renew him. 

What is a realistic power forward we could expect to receive in return? Remembering he has only a year left on his deal. 

What is a realistic draft pick in this coming draft?

Personally for me it would be Crowder and Thomas, but I suspect it will be Bradley and everyone else stays put creating a log jam that won't get sorted out until the trade deadline.

And just so I'm clear, I'd trade Thomas because I think Bradley will be the better long term back court mate for Fultz and Bradley will be cheaper to sign long term which I think is important for flexibility going forward.  So even without Hayward I might look to move Thomas this year (I wouldn't just give him away but if the right trade came along, I would move him).

As for Crowder, I don't think he will deal very well with being benched, which would happen by bringing in Hayward and even if Boston doesn't I think Brown will overtake him at some point this year, which will be even harder for Crowder to accept (look at how upset Ray Allen got for being benched for Bradley and at that time Allen was past his prime and had already made his money).  So even without Hayward, I might look to move Crowder before his value tanked by being benched. 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Good analysis. Trading Thomas is just tough. Like you said you can't give him away for peanuts. That would look really bad for our image as how we treat our players and as a trading partner as well. You have to get good value in return to be able to sell it to the public, otherwise it's better to keep him for this season and let him be a mentor to Fultz and let him walk after that.

One note, how many teams (I know it just takes one  ;)) in 2018 would be willing to pay Thomas (or Bradley for that matter) a big contract and also have the cap space to do it? Would Thomas leave the Celtics for a bottom feeder just to earn more money, as most (semi)-contenders certainly won't have the cap space to offer him that.

Thomas window (to get most value) is this offseason...

I think his value may drop if signed to an extension.... Not the norm

That's how I would see it. If we were lucky enough to land Hayward, then you slide Crowder into the Posey role and Zizic/KO/Amir into Powe/Perk/PJ Brown..

If a team doesn't want to sign IT, why would they trade for him? You think his max value is as a one year rental?

He's under contract.
And the assets under contract can decrease in value. Crowder has plenty of value around the league and DA would trade him if he absolutely knew Crowder would be playing less than 20 mpg during the season.
