Well we will develop this team and see what happens. Hopefully some of these guys emerge...James young, Jordan, Rj
When they are eventually traded to another team that can give them playing time when there are one or two years left on their rookie deals?
We have quite a few guys expiring after this season. No doubt Danny will allow some of them to walk to create roster space for those he feels deserve it.
In actually kinda relieved in a way that Nothing major happened. Since of the purposed might have helped us shortm term, but had the potential to really hurt us long term.
Only two years ago we'd have been dreaming of being able to bee where we are right now. A top 3 seed with a potential top 3 pick, and the cap space for two max few agents? Has Boston ever been in that position??
It's not a bad position. All along I thought the real moves were going to happen around the draft / start of free agency.
I don't put much stock in the "room for two max free agents," though, because I think no matter how great our coach's reputation is, Boston is still a provincial city that is unappealing to players who havent' already spent time there.
Probably we'll see Danny do something with that Brooklyn pick to upgrade one of the starting big man spots and otherwise the team next year will look pretty much the same, even the bench.
.
This is true, but the key is having the flexibility. Nobody can truly control whether free agents choose to sign here, all Danny dan do is put us I a position where if one chooses to, we can accommodate it.
This deadline is a perfect example. With the assets we had, i have little doubt we could have had any one of Love, Horford or Dwight. I believe if we really wanted them, Danny could have made it happen with the assets we had. In the end he seemingly felt the cost was too high and didn't bite (i tend to agree) butt the important thing is that if we wanted to, we could have.
