One of our numerous guards?
Crowder for his defense?
Amir for his expiring contract?
Zeller in a S&T?
Maybe a combo of picks and a guard get you something of need but for a major piece, the best we have to offer now is Olynyk.
Like Sully this season, Oly becomes a RFA next season unless he agrees to an extension. But why would he agree to a rookie extension with the $ being handed out this season with even more available next?
If we are indeed gonna make a big trade for a Center or Scoring threat look for Oly to be a major piece in any trade ...
Here's the catalyst for my post ...
With Turner being a huge part of the rotation last season, it says a lot about Ainge’s determination to build around stars since he let their sixth man walk. Olynyk is an important part of their team, but he’s not irreplaceable. The Celtics are replacing their sixth man this year, and it’s not crazy to think they do the same thing again next year.
Olynyk provided the Celtics with consistent three-point shooting last season, and was the biggest offensive catalyst off the bench. Although, with not being a great fit with a franchise player on the court – Al Horford – and likely attracting a big multi-year contract, it makes it hard to believe Olynyk will be with Boston more than one season.
With another high draft pick that will likely be selected on a big, a free agent class that Ainge is already drooling over and the possibility of a trade, paying Olynyk is far from the top of Ainge’s list.
