Assuming we get Hayward, who is the other target for the 4 spot now?

[Billz401]

Looking more and more like a starting 5 of IT,AB,hayward,crowder,horford. Crowder played alot of small ball pf last year and he's probably our strongest and slowest small forward for what it's worth

[Chief]

Still haven't heard any realistic and likable deals outside of something like Melo, which I'm not sure actually is realistic with as large as his salary is.

We're really going to be starting Kelly freaking Olynyk at the 4 next year, aren't we?

You could trade Zeller and Mickey for Robin Lopez.

Taj Gibson for the MLE?

This.

Or bring Horford at PF and sign a Center. Andrew Bogut for the room exception or some of the MLE. Heck, why not the full MLE for two years, with the last year non-guaranteed?

At the very least, he can mentor Ante Zizic, and that's excellent value.

I think Horford is a center, but I'd take Bogut independent of that. Honestly, I'm not sure it would take more than the minimum to get him.

[Dino Pitino]

What about a sign-and-trade for Milsap? Atlanta clearly isn't keeping him, so they'd be willing to do a sign-and-trade with us, as well as Milsap wanting to come here I would guess.

I guess it would depend on how much he was demanding, but I do like the look of a IT, Brown, Hayward, Milsap, and Horford starting lineup with Rozier, Smart, Tatum, Zizic, and others backing them up.

He's gonna get the max. So, nope.

We can stagger the minutes, play big to start and go smaller as we go along, and maybe, as we close.

We just need another big, especially one that could rebound.

I chose Bogut because not only can he rebound, his mentorship could be valuable. He could also come in on the cheap.

(and he's my favorite player)

No denying he'd be a good fit with his interior defense and ability to move the ball. And as we know, he's had interest in coming to Boston in the past. I'd welcome him for sure.

Taj Gibson for the MLE?

How much is the MLE?

$8.4 million for non-tax payers. We didn't pay any tax right? We should get that amount.

No.  We have the Room MLE, for $4.3 million.  Not getting Gibson for that.

Sign and trade for JaMychal Green, with Avery Bradley going back to Memphis (or to a third team with a pick to Memphis).

Starting lineup of IT, Hayward, Crowder, Green, and Horford.  Bench of Smart, Brien, Tatum, Zizic.
Get a vet guard or big with the room.

Taj Gibson for the MLE?

He's a name I'd go after, also, Ilyasova or Patterson

That seems about as good of a scenario as possible for us in this situation, but what makes you think they won't be willing to pay him themselves?
