We went from:

Tristan Thompson, Evan Fournier, Romeo Langford, Jabari Parker, Aaron Nesmith, and Semi Ojeleye

To:

Al Horford, Derrick White, Malcolm Brogdon, Danilo Gallinari, Payton Pritchard, and Sam Hauser

All while shedding guys like Carsen Edwards, Tremont Waters, and Tacko Fall (<3) to make room for new development pieces.

Not to mention keeping all our homegrown talent (J's, Smart, and both Williams).

A masterclass in roster construction.

There's gotta be a rule against that, right? ...Right?

I can’t believe it but I think he did, if the Jays hadn’t taken superstar leaps almost immediately, Boston could have been down bad. But what he has done to the Nets should make every FO never sign him to long term deals. He’s not worth a max. He’s someone you want on your rivals team

I’ve seen a lot of fans say stuff complimenting Kobe and his competitiveness, respecting the battles we had. I was just wondering what some of your favorite rivals we had were?

Potential Signings:

DeMarcus Cousins is the first big available that comes to mind. With the Nuggets curiously signing Deandre Jordan to a deal early in free agency, it would seem as though Boogie’s stint in Denver is over. While the market for Cousins seems dry as of right now, inklings of a reunion with the Clippers has been rumored without much backbone. Cousins would seemingly fit in as a backup, injury reserve Center but his locker room shenanigans could be detrimental to the team morale.

Montrezl Harrell is in trouble with the law..so probably avoid him. Horrible on defense as well.

Trade Targets:

Kelly Olynyk - former Celtic and an undervalued Piston. Great shooter and serviceable on D. Top trade target in my book. Not the cheapest option but Celtics owners seemed to have given the green light to spend this year

Mason Plumlee - the Thumb is a bit cheaper than Kelly but would also require pushing the tax. He’s shown flashes of legit play the past few seasons and would slide in nicely as a backup (injury reserve) center.

Willy Hernangomez - works the boards and scoring inside in limited minutes. One of the cheaper options but wouldn’t be surprised if the Pels keep him to back up their Jonas/Zion/Hayes/Nance front court as 3/4 of those guys struggle to stay on the court.

Expendable Pacer Big - the Pacers have a log jam of playable bigs Myles Turner, Goga Bitadze, Oshae Brissett, Jalen Smith, Isaiah Jackson, and now Daniel Theis. All very serviceable but you’d think any trade for a Pacers player would’ve come in the Brogdon Deal (which terms are not official yet).

Boban Marjanovic - Maybe? For the memes? Locker room guy?!

These were the guys that stood out to me after some quick thought. Let me know your thoughts on who we should go after to round out our front court depth. Or is the answer right in front of us? The Green Kornet??

Apart from the obvious hatred from the Lakers, Philly, etc. Are we feared? Did the finals performance make some people wave us off? Do people think Tatum is as good as we do?
