We not sending Denzel. Maybe Taj. I'd be ok with this but we'd need another (or 2) 3pt shooters. And probably need to fire Hoiberg as he wouldn't be able to do anything with this roster lol

The reason I went with my deal was:

1) To keep Bk from asking for the 2017 swap and 2018 #1 back.
2) They still have Zizic and Yabeusele (sp?) in the tank so they can spare Zeller/Olynyk (and may need to).
3) Clear some of that 2nd round pick clutter. The C's should be contending for the next 7 years if they do this right. Young high lotto talent and a top tier playoff team happening at the same time.

Ainge has worked wonders but he has to be looking at the future too.

He might have Fultz or Ball this year. Another top 3 pick next year. And depending on if the Clippers blow things up or not, could have another lotto pick in 2019. Add those picks to the current overseas stashes and the guys currently in their primes pushing the top of the East and there's a monster to be made.

Adding Brook to Horford, IT3 and Bradley gives them a super solid core for 2-3 years (assuming they reup Brook). Then your young high lotto talent and overseas stashes fill out the roster around bargain vets. You got a shot at winning today AND in the near future.
