I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll get Hayward but we have to be realistic and acknowledge the possibility he doesn't come to Boston. He'll make more money in Utah, #2 Living in sunny Miami would be more appealing. So what do you think our plan B will be if he decides not to sign.
 
Also what are we going to do about our frontcourt? No Johnson, No Zeller, Possibly no Olynyk. Outside of Horford, Jerebko and Yabusele (I think) Who's left? I'm not feeling good right now. We need to get some vets. Get in this game. I'm still hurt that Butler is not a Celtic right now.

How about Patrick Patterson on a larger 1 year deal?  Takes him away from TOR and fills a need.

how could that be possible when plan A is still in play? hayward was plan A. that is still unsettled.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

You left out Zizic and the German.

Not that I'm necessarily a fan of any of these, but:

FAs:
D. Gallinari
JaMychal Green
Patrick Patterson
Drying up fast....

Trade possibilities:
R. Anderson (in 3 way allowing Melo to go to Houston)
DeMarre Carrol (allows Toronto to reduce lux tax)
Likely others....

Celtics fan for life.

I'm guessing Tatum was the fireworks because that list is the cleanup duty after the show.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

ESPN's resident stat guru projects Zizic to be a quality starter down the road based on his Euro-performance. I'd be surprised if he's not a very good backup big at the least.

Quote
Zizic is just 20 and can be expected to develop into a quality starter.


As to Plan B? Play the kids more. They also have a high probability of a top 5 pick in 2018, if not 2, in a big-laden, strong draft.

Keep the picks...stay young..ride out the storm

Gallo is going to go to the Clippers IMO...other than that...there is nothing worth a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. out there. Just go with your youngsters

I'd add Faried, Melo, Tyson Chandler and Greg Monroe to the trade possibilities. I'd also add Rudy Gay to the FA's section.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

I think we can all agree that disappointment will be high if we don't land Hayward.
And, that the other options aren't great.

But, the reality is that, while not a great outcome, the future is still bright for the Cs. We will sign one or two FAs to the types of contracts that Amir had, which will bring in some talent and maintain flexibility. We then see who is available for trades during the season, or again next draft.
Celtics fan for life.
