- Seems to be very high on Rozier
- Talks of the guard glut and how Cs are still in asset acquisition stage
- Noted that Smart was one of the best rookies in terms of how he affected games last year which is consistent with what the advanced stats say too.

I trust in Brad to continue developing Rozier. He is a legit coach. I like what I am seeing from Rozier last night, and I think come training camp, and pre-season we can see how Brad develops him.

I think a Rozier/Smart/AB backcourt is a work in progress. Too many guards (add in IT too) and limited minutes to distribute around. Brad has a lot of work to do and I am looking forward to seeing how they pan out together

I still think Avery Bradley is the odd man out if Rozier is the defender he's reputed to be. Bradley is the most limited, offensively, of this group of guards so if there are two other terrific defenders who are better offensively, that might spell a trade of Bradley.

I think ainge trades Thomas/Bradley when the new cap hits

As their deals will be more valuable considering they will be probably underpaid in relation to the new cap and their hopefully improved game

Perhaps more asset acquisition for ainge

[Big333223]

Yeah. Thomas is already underpaid but as we move forward he'll look better and better to teams acquiring talent.

But maybe we just keep him as a sparkplug offensive player off the bench. I'd be into that.
