Acquire a small forward:
(1) Trade the Clippers Pick, and their complex arrangement with the Mavs (which has contingencies through 2021) to the Mavs for their pick this year, and draft Wisconsin teammates Kaminsky and Dekker.
(2) Pick up Luol Deng on a lower annual, longer term deal, and re-sign Brandon Bass on a shorter term, higher annual value deal.
(3). Trade Kelly Olynyk and James Young to Sacramento for Ben McLemore. (Before you slam me on this - try and imagine how effective Olynyk and Cousins could be if KO could find his outside range. He was pretty good at the beginning of the year, but is clearly tired out by the season).
(4) Godfather offer the C's own 2016 draft pick, Jae Crowder, and Sully (or the equivalent) to the 76ers for Nerlens Noel (assuming, as projected, they win the draft, and end up having three centers under contract).
Start Deng, Zeller, Noel, Evan Turner, AB (with Kaminsky, Dekker, Isaiah Thomas, Smart and Bass coming off the bench) for the first part of the year, and then, if possible, move to a Kaminsky, Noel, Dekker, McLemore, Smart starting five by mid-year. Try and improve at shooting guard or center in the next year's draft.
(5) If Smart is unable to show the kind of floor leadership necessary to get that group the ball, then package him, and the Brooklyn 2016 pick (which should be awesome) mid-year to the Magic (who will probably be terrible again) for Elfrid Payton.
1) Why make this trade when the Clippers and Mavericks are relatively close in the standings ? Are you trading up 2-4 slots ?
2) Don't mind Deng and/or Bass. Solid players. I think you can do better than Deng this upcoming offseason, but still a solid player. I'd set the bar higher and throw the money at Leonard or Harris.
3) I would never trade Olynyk & Young for Mclemore (I don't think Ainge would as well). That's a heckuva trade for the Kings. For all we know, Young could be the far better player than Mclemore in a couple of years. Both are raw.
4) Getting Noel would be nice, I don't see Philly trading him though.
5) Smart is just getting started. Why package him for another young player, a young player that he might ultimately be better than ? No way do you make this trade. It's only the beginning for Smart.
Personally, if I'm Ainge, I'd be targeting : Jordan, Leonard, & Butler in free agency, in that order. Throw the world at Jordan & Leonard.
