Most of the posts I've read over the past few weeks have been looking at the draft in isolation which I don't feel paints a realistic picture of our options this offseason. So in this thread I would love for you to pitch your realistic possibilities/expectations for our overall offseason... including draft, free agency, etc.

Mine is:
Do not resign Sully, Holland, Zeller, Jerebko
Take up team option for Amir
Sign Turner to 3yr/$25m contract


Draft:
#3 Buddy Hield - NBA ready shooter
#16 Deyonta Davis - Rim protector with serious upside
#23 Caris LeVert - NBA ready shooter with slashing potential (potential Turner replacement)

2nd Round:
This is the draft and stash round or hopefully the #31 & #35 picks can be packaged and traded with a playoff team for their 2017 1st rounder. If we keep them, then the international centers are in play Zizic, Zubac, Zhou Qi and we draft and stash or even sell the picks.

Free Agency:
The main Free Agent target for me is Ryan Anderson.
If we can get Biyombo, we can release Amir as well (lol ironic that we seem to be poaching Raptors Centers on a yearly basis).

In my opinion, these moves give us the most flexibility with regards to lineups, shooting and defense.

Final Roster:
Guards - IT, Smart, Bradley, Rozier, Hield
Wings - Crowder, Turner, Young, Hunter, LeVert
Bigs - KO, Mickey, Davis, Amir, Anderson

Not a perfect roster, but from it we should be able to get some lineups with serious firepower or defense or a balance of the two.

Your going to win less games brother.

The high #1 should be traded for veteran talent.

I'm on record,  Durant is a pipe dream.

i'd be dissapointed. Okafor sucks, and Skal can't even play

Typical Boston offseason

Danny is gonna try to trade #3 pick but no buyers. No one is gonna give Danny what he wants so he is forced to pick. He picks Dragon Bender and buys out his contract over seas and sends him straight to d-league. He gets to trade out of the 2nd round using all 5 picks for a late 1st round pick next year. He does successfully trade #16-23 with Toronto Raptors to move up to #9 and drafts Jakob Poeltl. Danny's forced to resign Sully, Amir and Turner after failing to aquire an all-star status FA. Boston opens the 2016-17 season with pretty much the same exact roster winning 46 games and slightly missing the playoffs.

This is where I see things going folks. There's no big splash this summer. There's no big FA signings matter of fact Danny is gonna have to over pay to put the same team he had on the court last year. Prove me wrong Danny cause I don't see anything coming out of this off season other then u picking 4 year mistake Dragon Bender BOOOOOOO

Yeah, I'd be reasonably happy with Hield and Davis. Going Buddy makes Avery expendable though, and could be dealt with Jerebko and/or Sully in SnTs.

It really doesn't matter greatly where we finish next year for draft purposes (although making the ECF, makes a Durant deal more possible, given the fact he will probably sign a 1 year deal at OKC regardless of what happens in this playoff series). We still have those swap rights.

But if the season does start to get ugly early, you can trade Amir away before the deadline, possibly along with Turner and IT, and really kick the wheels on Mickey, Young, Hunter (and this year's draftees), and force more offence to go through Crowder.

Also notable that Avery is 2 years 11 months older than Hield

Don't think there are enough reliable scoring options with this roster. Also, I think at #8, I might take Skal Labissiere instead. Also doubt Thon Maker makes it to 31.

I like Skal but he's a few years away. He can be a good blocker. Haven't seen to much of his outside shot but he would be a project
