I don't understand how this opens up cap space.

Hurts less than Pierce and KG. Green will hurt less than Rondo.I really don't care about any of the players on our roster right now, and I doubt many (if any) of them will still be here when we're competitive again. Assets are great in theory but watching good players go for nothing tangible in the immediate is not rad in the slightest.This is now my biggest problem with the C's. I like KO. He's not enough to build around. I like Young but he doesnt get any minutes yet. I like Green, Bass and Thorton but they are all insignificant because they'll be gone. And I love Wallace but he doesn't get any play time. That's about it.How do you guys not like Smart?I like Smart, but I'm expecting a dropoff in the full out defensive pressure once he gets up to over 30 minutes a game and assumes full time PG duties.

But I like him too, good effort + attitude. Also think this trade could help Olynyk (one of the few players that seemed to get worse with Rondo out there). Once Green+Bass are gone and we flip most/all the guys we got from Dallas, it's gonna be Smart/Oly/Sully, and a bunch of kids who aren't ready yet, with Wallace as den mother.

Get something instead of nothing.Also, the TPE expands our utilization of the gobs and gobs of cap flexibility we now have.

if jeff green and bass don't get traded now the danny's doing it wrong. really all of those guys should've been gone last yr. Rondo should've been dealt when Pierce & KG were. Danny messed that up, he should've ripped the Band-Aid off quickly in one swipe(like you're supposed to) instead he pulled it off slowly and suffered the consequences. we delayed the process by a yr.I suggest everyone get ready for what's coming. with all these picks we've been accumulating we better hope other teams find value in them if not this is looking bad.
