So Danny has obviously picked a path with the Rondo trade- and that path leads to the NBA draft- for at least this season and likely the next.
How long before Green and Bass are traded?
Let's say they are traded within 5 games from now....
Our line up likely looks like:
Smart/Nelson
Bradley/Thornton
Turner, Young, Wallace
Sully, Olynk,Crowder
Zeller, Wright+whatever we take back for Green and Bass....
Does that team end up with a better finish than the Knicks or Pistons?
The Knicks and Pistons are 4 games behind us at this point in the season with 59 games left and that above roster is horrid.
I'd put us at a solid tied 2nd with Minnesota for worst teams in the NBA.
The Jazz,
Bucks
Knicks
Pistons
Lakers
Will all be better than us. I think the second spot is there for the taking and this is Ainge's aim this year.
There's a solid chance the Wolves are better than us at the end of this season- we'll arguably be the worst defensive team in the NBA.
So are we a bottom three team?
I think it's a yes.
