So what's Danny's plan next season? What do you think we should do?

I'm just gonna say, I can't fathom missing the playoffs. I'm sure lots of fans don't like to watch a tanking team.

Being a middle of the road playoff team is not much different than missing the playoffs in my eyes. The organization should be doing everything in their power to get #18 and beyond.

I've heard this opinion a lot but as far as ownership is concerned a tank job could cost them a ton of revenue in the tanking year.

To me you just want to be a team that is always improving. With how young our team is we can show steady improvement without taking a huge leap backwards.

think its better to try and improve the team without tanking .  Tanking is not Boston , that loser method belongs to the new bees in the NBA

Trade Bradley, Lee, Terry, Bass, Melo

Ainge may have tried to tank this season by refusing to get a replacement big, so we'll see.  Perhaps he was hoping to get a #1 the way the Bulls were able to draft Derrick Rose without completely emptying the roster of talent.  I'm not a fan of starting out a season in tank mode, but it is something to consider if the team is foundering in mid-season.

For now, I think the team is basically committed to one more year if KG and PP do not retire.  I do feel like the team has a shot if they can dump salary (a guard, not Bass) to sign a big.  My pipe dream is a salary dump of Terry and Elton Brand being available for the MLE.

Otherwise, I think the team should wait until Rondo is healthy and playing 30-35 minutes per game or shows that he can't handle that anymore. 

The time to really consider blowing things up in Boston is when the medium contract role players such as Bass, Terry, and Lee become expiring contracts.  Which is after next season.  That can start a few months early if the Celtics play poorly enough that a mid-season shift to tanking is a good idea.

This all goes out the window if Ainge finds a deal which can pair a potential All-Star with Rondo.

Well, not sure what he CAN do.....see if kg and pp still play.....but OFF the BENCH....not full time starters.....no reason to wear them out in the first half of the year...that is a dumb thing to do.....rondo and Green...keep them...many will want to play with them...Green can be a problem because many guys play that spot too......terry can be let go.....keep shav...easy to do, short $$$, plenty of upside.....need a new coach....for sure....!!!

If Ainge considers retooling, I see Josh Smith being in his plans at some point. Maybe if the Thunder amnesty Perkins, he'll be welcomed back too. Wouldn't mind seeing JJ Redick in green as well since he'd give us the best shooter since Ray. Hopefully Sullinger comes back healthy and Bradley spends the offseason recuperating and ready for the training camp.

Everything depends on Pierce and KG, though.
