I hope our offseason doesn't begin until the Larry O'Brien trophy is being lifted up by our boys.
But what do these playoff games tell us about what we need to add to this team? What does Brad need to do to make us better for next season?

Fresh, here's news for you
He'd fit in the Fournier TPE. Wonder if the Magic would be interested?

My guess is they're still pretty high on him, despite the injuries. i think we'd have to offer something like Neismith, a future first (unprotected), and a future pick swap. And even then i doubt they'd go for it unless they end up drafting one of the premier power forwards at the top of this years draft class. Isaac has crazy two-way potential.

Brad, you know this team inside and out. You know what we're lacking and what Ime needs.
I'm anxious to see what you're going to do this summer, cause we are darn close to being a championship team.

Javale McGee is a guy who's a FA this summer, making $5 mil this year. I don't think PHX will let him go, but he might be a great addition to our front court depth. Big man who can guard the rim and also switch to guard smaller players? Sounds like he'd fit right in. Good article by the way. www.theringer.com/2022/5/10/23064200/javale-mcgee-phoenix-suns-nba-playoffsI admit to never having seen Shaqtin a Fool on TNT.

We desperately need a reliable scorer off the bench.
A couple of weeks ago I heard Carmelo Anthony's name mentioned as a potential signing. I think I'll be ok with that. But definitely the right idea -- a guy whom you know will get you points off the bench.

Never been much of a fan, but as a lob threat and shot blocker as the 4th of 5th big wouldn't be bad. Can he grasp our defensive schemes?

I don't know anything about him, but the article says he's extremely intelligent. I was thinking of him as a backup/insurance policy for Rob.

If he's available for the vet min i think Javale would be great bench depth. He'd give boston someone to match up with a monster big like embiid.

I'm wondering if we're going to look heavily into the international market? Like the Spurs did. Would love to have smart fundamental players for cheap.

This is going to be a huge year coming up for Nesmith. If he can relax and shoot the way we know he can he'd have a place in the rotation. I imagine he'll be playing summer league.

Important summer indeed. The game needs to slow down for him and he needs to find how he'll contribute. We've got Begarin waiting to come over, and he'll challenge Nesmith right away whenever he does. I'm wondering if there are international big men we can bring over for workouts?

When GWill and Pritch are playing well and hitting shots (especially daggers from deep), we really don't have a glaring need to address.
If DWhite, GWill and Pritch can reliably pitch in every game, we're a dynasty.
That is until Horford's age catches up with him.
So offseason need [HASH]1, get Al's (eventual) replacement.

Isn't that supposed to be Rob Williams..? The formula that has worked for us is play Rob alongside another good defensive big to allow Rob to roam free. Maybe GWill takes Horford's place, but we lose height (and rebounds and blocks) if we go that route.
