Ben Mclemore is probably best here Imo. Jonathan Simmons, Ian Clark, Snell also available. Hardaway Jr is probably wishful thinking.
Also Nate Robinson will be available lol.

Would LOVE Johnathon Simmons, but I wonder if he'll leave San Antonio. Might be offered a strangely big payday in the offseason
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

James Young. He's been soaking up experience on the bench with Green, Wallace and other vets and his contract is cheap if we give him one next year (3 million)
Jaylen Brown for All-NBA

On the other hand we could just draft Fultz and let him run the 2nd unit the way Evan Turner used to. Then we can use the vet in on a 7ft bruiser.

Markelle Fultz, except his role could be bigger.

AB.

I think Fultz is the more likely option though at least next year depending on trades and what not right this second though.  I think AB is our starter until Fultz beats him out. Ultimately I'd like to see AB in Green's role though.

That could happen sooner rather than later too. Right now AB is the more experienced player by far.

My thoughts exactly, Green wasn't given a role BS sucks at rotations and finding roles for guys off the bench. Maybe BS just rewards whoever had a good practice that week. I really don't know.

I don't get picky when it comes to end of bench guys making the vet minimum. Whoever will sign that has a pulse.

I don't get picky when it comes to end of bench guys making the vet minimum. Whoever will sign that has a pulse.

I'll admit it, as a basketball coach, I have a tendency to isolate on what players do defensively
and on the sidelines. By all accounts, Gerald was a terrific teammate-rejoiced in other players success, and had positive body language on and off the floor.  I don't think he ever firmly established a role, but clearly he had a positive effect in a number of games.  Rondo going down and Gerald Green heating up, helped the Celtics get out of the first round.

That being said, dollar for dollar, he had more value than some of the players on this team. I mean he was on vet minimum and averaged 5.6 pts on 11 minutes per game.
He could help a number of teams and should have more playing time-LA Clippers, NO, Chicago, GS would be possibilities.

He's defense-while improved since his last stint in Boston,remains an issue. It makes it hard to play him with a pg who also struggles defensively, especially when there is no interior defense on this team.

Boston needs shooting. Where are you going to find a terrific athlete who can play defense and shoot the ball? Usually that guy is a starter. Green checks off two of those boxes.
 I would imagine, that before Boston even considers replacing Green's limited role, they will have to:
                                                               *clear up the glut of guards
                                                               * find a player who can rebound/and block shots
                                                               *upgrade the SF position

This will be a delicious off season. If  Boston signs Hayward, drafts Fultz,  I expect Danny to try to find a player who can bring some toughness. For the lauded Boston defense, the Celtics seemed soft against Cleveland.

Why not re-sign Green instead of bringing in a new face.

Would love a young reclamation project with high upside... my two are Shabazz Muhammed or Ben Mclemore. Admittedly a front court equivalent would be ideal, but I can't think of any
