    As far as production off the bench, the signings seem to be lateral moves at Worst

    Zaza = Bogut

    Allen = Barbosa

    West = Speights

    Damian Jones = Ezeli

    If I'm presti I'm askin russ if he plans on testing the market next summer if he says yea.Trade him now

    Jaylen brown and next years nets pick would be enough for me.

    That will give them two potential top 5 picks in next years draft with the third player picked in this years draft, plus I'm sure Ainge would give up more unless he absolutely believes there's no chance of extending Russ, as long as Presti isn't asking for our core players with all our building blocks I would make that deal in a heartbeat and hope a deep playoff run will convince him to stay, if he doesn't we still land on our feet with money to spend next summer and Presti gets a jumpstart on the rebuild and doesn't risk another superstar walking on them, only Lakers could put together a sweeter deal depending on what they are willing to give up

    West leaving a lot of money on the table last 2 deals.

    However, good add..and another tough guy to add with Draymond.
    Need more length in the paint tho.

    And as Murda Mook would say, EASY. Kanye, 30 hours

    To think some people wouldn't sign Kevin Durant out of fear of losin those ? is beyond me

    Only concern is how would russ fit in boston his game might not mesh with that system

    So to conclusion.. Melo would be the last real ? left in the league.. could abandon ship muiltple times.. but chose to go through the fire and willing to go down with the ship if all else fails.. at this point..Melo pretty much accepted his fate.. go all in or ? it..

    Why trade picks for a player that can bounce?

    I think he stays in okc shoots 30 times a game n bounces

    If I'm Dell Demps i'd take that chance with no hesitation just to see how he likes playing with Anthony for 1 year in Gentry's system then go from there, we're automatically a playoff team with those two running pick and roll and Buddy spacing the floor

    not enough assets

    Who has the assets they are willing to give up knowing he is just a loaner?

    Boston

    Pels don't

    I'm letting IT cook off the bench, as long as they aren't starting together I think he would be a great fit

    Jazz built a nice team they definitely goin to the playoffs next season unless they get ravaged by injuries.They added vets too(hill,diaw,johnson) which should help cuz last year they struggled to close games.

    This, prolly think brown picks and smart might do it they might throw in KO too I can see ain't all in. IT would eat in the 6th man role

    I'd let Russ and IT play together, bring Bradley off the bench

    Let them split the ball handling
