TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

I like Bojan, Conley and Clarkson well enough as players. While they would all add value, I’m not sure that any of them are needle movers. At least not in the way we need, even though any of the three would undoubtedly make us better. I’d much rather wait and see what progress Josh Green has made and save our picks for a bigger deal. Bojan and Conley (especially) are a little past their primes, even though they should continue to be solid contributors for another year or two. Conley has an extensive injury history. I think Utah will struggle to move him unless they attach a small asset like one of the young guys they acquired in trade. I love what Bojan brings offensively but I think his D slipped some last season. Now, if Ainge wants to do Conley (or Bojan) a solid and move him to the team of his choice for essentially another comparable contract and useless picks or Frank then I’d be all over that, and I kind of like what Bertans brings too. Doesn’t seem like a ver Ainge thing to do. Otherwise, find our 3rd ball handler in the vet bargain bin and take a wait and see approach as far as what needs this team will have after we get Wood, McGee and our youth assimilated.
