So, what is the next moves if that is true? The FA market is pretty slim. I am not sure how many other guys I would offer the full MLE too. What are your next moves if Brown and Williams don’t wind up in Dallas?
Stay patient and see if a trade materializes later in the summer? Split up the MLE?
Unless Bullock is moved, I'm not a fan of signing Brown.
Given the DNPs in the playoffs for G.Williams and having KP in house without losing R.Williams or Horford, I think he's gone from BOS. I'm not sold on him, however, as a starter on a championship team. IMO his defense is more gritty looking than effective. His 3pt shooting is very effective tho.
Unless PJ can be signed and not matched with the MLE, I don't see anyone out there in FA that gets us what we need: a flex F/C (Z.Collins, PJ S&T, I.Stewart) and a flex SF/PF (Tate, Eason, Hunter). IMO we need to use J.Green and the 2027 FRP (plus fodder like Bullock, THJ, McGee, Wood S&T, and Powell S&T) for those needed assets. I was huge on J.Allen until the Lively pick. We need someone who can start at C now and transition to F when Lively is ready to start.
