THIS is finally the summer. Now the front office has to decide if we go all in (which would mean 3-5 years of contention right now, packing some assets including Brooklyn pick(s) in trades) or we patiently draft two big names these years and try to contend for a decade.
I'd prefer the second way, because it doesn't mean we take steps back, as some suggest. We've overachieved this year in my opinion, but keeping this team with Fultz, Zizic and (hopefully) a good free agent can keep us in the ECF while waiting for LeBron to decline and the Warriors to dismantle. However, going all-in would mean losing most of our future assets to compete with these Cavs/GSW with no guarantee of even being at the Finals.
Ainge has said what he must say, keep all the options open just to wait other GM's movements. His approach of waiting, drafting Fultz and being aggresive with free agency doesn't need a trading partner, but anything can happen.
