In the IDEAL world (yes, NBA 2K14
), if I am DA, I would do something like this:
1. On the draft night complete a trade with Sac for Cousins. Green, Olynyk and at least two first rounders. Of course, there would have to be a "push" from Boogies' side.
2. Get rid of Wallace and Bass, if only for second rounder(s).
3. Resign Rondo and (maybe) give him a no-trade clause.
4. Resign Bradley to no more than 6 milion.
5. Sign Hayward.
6. Sign Deng in the FA and bring back Pierce for a vet minimum.
7. Sign a couple more veterans to complete the roster (Varejao, Kaman, Delambert), maybe even bring Humph back for peanuts.
And as quickly as that, this roster would be back in contention.
Rondo, Hayward, Deng, Sully, Cousins.
Pressey, Bradley, Pierce, Humph, Kaman, Varejao, etc...pick your favourite...
