Man, too bad we had to let go of AB to get Hayward. He would've been a really, really ideal fit next to Kyrie in the backcourt.

I'm hoping Brown can focus on improving his D to become our long-term starting 2.

And ball-handling, and catching and shooting.  But I agree, I hope Brown starts at the 2.

Tony Allen would be extravagant ..

Sullinger is a sleeper on a few conditions ..
1. weight of course
2. progress of Yabulseile
3. need to fix the Celtics biggest flaw, rebounding.

They really need to add another big off the bench

Sully at the minimum is a steal.  Bogut at the min is also a steal.  Yeah Sully is out of shape but he won't have to play much.

He had a chance to make millions. Now he pays the penalty for that and gets paid like he's not going to ever be good.

But it doesn't mean he can't ever touch a basketball again or is banished from the continent

I'd sorta like a young guy with upside.

Like Stephen Zimmerman was a 2nd rounder last year and got cut. I think it might be better than a Sully.

Or a guy like Bogut and a guy like this

I think I forgot we can only really bring in one guy.

I guess Bogut

We have one open roster spot, but we had 16 players before the trade and I see no reason that Danny wouldn't go with 16 again now. He'll cut the player that looks the worst (probably Larkin, possibly Theiss)
I'm bitter.

are you Counting Dixon in your 16 count?

I'm only counting the guaranteed contracts.  I didn't include Dixon, White, and any other camp invites because I think they have about the same chance of making the team as I do
I'm bitter.
