Looks like Nader got a deal.  If Semi gets one too, then Jackson is definitely out.

Aren't we up to 14 with Jackson waived and assuming Ojeleye is signed?

1    Gordon Hayward
2    Al Horford
3    Jae Crowder
4    Isaiah Thomas
5    Jayson Tatum
6    Marcus Morris
7    Jaylen Brown
8    Marcus Smart
9    Aron Baynes
10   Terry Rozier
11   Ante Zizic
12   Abdel Nader
13   Semi Ojeleye
14   Daniel Theis

#15 could be Yabusele.  Bird probably gets a 2-way.

Seems right, with both Bird and K.Allen getting 2-ways to bring it to the max 17.

Also fixed a misspelling above.

Thanks for the correction.  (TP).

Keep Bird! 🐦 He's got It

As far as I'm concerned the roster is only 15, the two contracts don't mean very much. Yabu is a strong favorite to get a spot. Bird and Allen might not get two way contracts, some have suggested that those are best used on free agents, not draft picks. It might be best just to stash them overseas or have them sign G league contracts.

I like the fact that 9 of the projected 15 are between 6'6" and 6'9".

With the three best players in the league between those heights (LeBron, Leonard, Durant), I love that we know have a plethora of defenders to throw at them. We can put three on the floor at the same time and switching won't be an issue.

I really like what Ainge has done with this roster.

I'm fairly certain Yabu is getting the last spot.
