Floods

Hmmm... I kinda like this deal regardless of what happens with KG (I hope he retires and forces the team's hand with rebuilding). I'd try to throw in 21/22 for the Portland pick while I'm at it.

Well, Rondo should probably go if the team's going to do a complete tear-down anyway, as he'll be approaching thirty when the team's good again, under the best circumstances. He's one of the(possibly just the) best set-up guys around on a fair contract, so there's going to be a strong market for him, and he'll be the best way to jump-star a rebuild by getting one or more high picks/prospects.

Floods

Not only that, but if we keep him he'll make the team just good enough that we'll be getting low lottery picks every year. I'd much rather do the full tear down and tank for the 2013 draft.

Bogg

Seeing as I've argued for that(full tear-down) at some point basically every season since 09-10, I'm completely on board with a full re-boot if Garnett retires.

Bogg

ESPN's reporting that Bass is going to opt out of his contract for next year. Whether the team brings him back is going to depend on what direction they go, as I can't see paying Bass 7-8 million a year as the first step in a rebuilding process.

Can't blame Bass for opting out of 4.25. He should not have any trouble getting something like 7 million per after the season he just had. Boston would have been horrible if they hadn't had him last year.

But they would have been much better if Green had a good ticker and was able to start next to Garnett. Bass isn't particularly good at anything. Well, he's good at 12'-16' jumpers. But that's about the extent of his abilities. If someone throws $7 million at a defensively challenged 6'7" PF good luck to them.

That's how I feel. He was good for the team this year, and they would have been in a ton of trouble if he wasn't around, but it may just be time for the two parties to part ways. I could actually see Utah going after him if they decide to trade either Jefferson or Millsap for a wing.
