Horford free agency thread: Possibly leaving: Page 10

Ainge should be on thin ice now

[Who]

Yeah, I am coming around to the idea of Smart at PG if Hayward is out there at PF. Let the two of them share playmaking duties. Get a big man who can defend and rebound. Build a bench.

If Hayward can be a useful starter, that team could be a 41-48 win team depending on how good that bench and center are.

I have zero faith in Danny Ainge anymore.

[Fierce1]

Might as well try and move Gordon Hayward. There's no point in keeping him if we can't keep Al.

Move on with Jaylen and Jayson, go young.

I agree.

If the Celts can swap Hayward for Bradley Beal, Celts would not have to totally go young.

Beal's contract is smaller than Hayward's.
That will give the Celts more cap room.

Celts can then sign D-Lo.

Beal
D-Lo
Brown
Tatum
Smart

That's a good start.

The thing that worries me is suddenly, our frontcourt is SUPER WEAK. Like who do we have there? Baynes. Maybe Theis. Williams?

Well our backcourt might just be better than the Lakers' at least 

[esel1000]

Coming around to the idea of throwing money at DAR... Brad made IT look like a superstar maybe he can do the same for Russell. This team is going nowhere anyway anytime soon.

[Celts Fan 508]

Sign Julius Randle, he would be the best fit and we could finalllllllly get some rebounds

Beal
D-Lo
Brown

That's a good start.

Good luck swapping Hayward for Beal. Washington don't have a president right now but even the janitor would probably say that's not a good idea.

[Fierce1]

35 win team MAX.

Lottery bound.

Worst front court in the NBA

Worthless draft picks this year

No PG

An overpaid HAYWARD

Nobody remotely interested in playing here.

Not yet!

Ainge can still do something.

Horford leaving is a good thing because the Celts will now have more options.

Those clamouring for Williams to play might get their wish

[hwangjini_1]

let's just rename this thread to "negative hot takes galore." 

[ozgod]

Well before we start slitting wrists let's see what happens. There's more twists and turns in this story yet and the title of this thread might be premature.

I have been preferring Smart as our PG for a while now.  He is a good passer, has a knack for driving the lane. 
Smart - Brown - Tatum - Hayward - TBD

I say that team still makes the playoffs if we get a decent center.

Yeah I'd love to add Randle.

[Phantom255x]

I'd love to add Randle if we can get the cap space. Randle and we could have enough for 1 more smaller signing and then add two more players using exceptions.
