What do folks think it would take to get Faried? If it were as easy as Johnson and a protected pick or two, do you think Ainge would pu the trigger (considering the added salary)?
I like Faried, but def don't love him. He'd be a good, gritty player to come off the bench. I think of him as a poor man's Draymond without a shot.
I'd like a long, athletic 4 that can shoot to couple with Horford. Guys that I like: Anthony Davis, LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin, Porzingis, and Myles Turner. Most of these guys are not going to be traded.
In the draft, I'm interested in Harry Giles and Jonathan Isaac.
I think it makes sense to stay patient, draft one of the best bigs in the draft, and bring in Zizic and Yabu over the next two years.
Harry Giles + Jaylen Brown + Brooklyn 18th might give you a shot at Anthony Davis.
