Fifteen?

[Celtics18]

By my count, we already have fifteen guys likely to make the 2017-2018 roster:

Thomas
Hayward
Horford
Smart
Crowder
Morris
Brown
Tatum
Baynes
Rozier
Zizic
Odeleye
Yabusele
Theis
Nader

Off season done!

Odeleye and Nader are by no means locks for the roster.

[JohnBoy65]

I could see Odeleye and Nader being replaced with Jerebko and Gerald Green on Vet minimum contracts. Although with his play in summer league I'd rather see Odeleye make the team in replace of Gerald Green

[PickNRoll]

The new 2-way contracts could theoretically be used for Jabari Bird and Kadeem Allen as the 16th and 17th roster spots.

Ojeleye is more likely to make the roster than Yabusele IMO.  More athletic, more versatile defender, equal or better shooter, mature game.  Yabusele could get stashed for another year.  Nader is on the bubble. 

I haven't seen the details on Theis' contract, but I assume it's near league minimum, so not really a consideration.  It feels like Danny has 1 deal left to make, maybe unloading Mickey and/or Jackson for 2nd round picks?

Jerebko is meeting with multiple suitors.  He should do better than league minimum.  I'd rather have JJ than Luol Deng.

Or Theis.  We could well end up with a couple more veterans (I'd love to see JJ and GG back), with Ojeleye and Nader on two way contracts.

Isn't Odeleye a Beck album?

Mickey has to be released to sign Tatum, unless there is another trade.

To me it's counter productive to add veteran wing players when you don't want to stunt the growth of Tatum and Ojeleye has the chance to be a better version of Jae Crowder, he can guard more positions and probably better than either Green or Jerebko, and he is a good 3 point shooter.

No..but Semi is close

I like Nader. Would sign him on a 2 way contract

Theis has one year guaranteed, so I'd consider him a lock.

Curious. Why do the three first posters wrote Ojeleye wrong?

Cut Nader -- no purpose. Enough wings & forwards already. It's Semi or Nader and I take Semi.

The team needs another guard for balance. Kadeem Allen will do.

I would be very, very surprised if Ojeleye is not on the roster.  Non-international second-rounders taken 31-40, virtually always make the roster immediately after being drafted, and typically have multiple years of salary guaranteed.

Nader is much more likely to get a two-way contract this year.  I expect Jackson keeps his roster spot.

I thought Mickey's contract was guaranteed.  Yeah, I guess we just waive him if it's not.

Where does this knowledge come from? 

Are you a rival GM? Your anticipated (and appreciated!) answer will be in writing.
