If anyone with insider is willing to post this article it'd be greatly appreciated!
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Keep sully? Nah.

I also like those responses to the Celtics vs Lakers question.

I've railed against all of the negativity on this dam forum, but Haberstoh needs to wise up re the Zeller comments.

I like Tyler and hope he gets a good home.

Disagree on keeping Sullinger at the very least. He needs to go, like bad.

And yup, Celtics/Lakers stock you pick the Celtics. Sure the Lakers can probably land a transcendent superstar anytime, but the West is so stacked and they just fired their head coach. I don't think they will be able to compete in the long-run, and that'll eventually waste that star's years and would want out.

I still disagree with the idea that Boston can't sign major free agents.   We never had cap space before.  We should be right in the thick of EVERYTHING this Summer.  I can't wait.

Interesting read. Some comments have potential free agents considering things I wouldn't think rate highly or are no different to many cities (mostly on the negatives) while missing more important positives. Over analysis isn't better analysis. I hope that the free agents have people with their interests at heart and less concern over none issues guiding them.

I think I can answer this without the insider. 

 WE WILL TRY TO MAKE BIG MOVES, this is Danny Ainge, we are talking about here.  Trying is not a guarantee of success but WE WILL TRY!

Don't waste more money on Sully and Zeller

I would resign Amir to reasonable contract

As for the insider article suggesting we resign Jared, this series made it clear that CBS does not think highly of him.   I have always felt he played out of necessity rather than preference.

Not sure what is says but reading others "keeping Sully" that is a no go! If we can't upgrade our bigs this year I don't know what to say! I'd rather bring in a shooter, move Crowder to the 4 and keep Amir at the 5 and play small ball. Sully needs to go!!

Pretty much.  We'll make offers to a lot of big name free agents, we'll inquire about all the big names on the trade market.

I love the part of the article that asked what the "expert" would ask for from DA, especially the response where the "expert" said he'd demand all three Brooklyn picks.  Who are we getting, Curry?  Lebron?
