Celtics GM for an hour

I really dug Jay King's recent "GM for a Day" piece,so I'm borrowing the concept.

First off, I'm not taking JD Davison with the 2nd round pick, I'm leaning towards Hyunjung Lee, from Davidson. The positives. He's a 6'7 Ray Allen. He's always moving, incredible at using picks and motion to get clean shots, and drains three like, well, Ray Allen. The cons. He sucks at defense. I don't think he'll ever be a ball hawk, but I think the Celtics (Ime, Brad, etc) have the infrastructure to teach him defense. And again. He's 6'7 and shoots the heck out of the ball.

Free agency (and the TPEs) all start with one question: Can I get Kyle Anderson via the Mid-Level Exception? If so, I do that, and the rest of my offseason is pretty much a cakewalk .I'd see about improving the 4th big role via a minimum salaried player (Moses Brown) or one of the small TPEs. And look around to see if there's someone who can help with the big one (if King's idea of Luke Kannard for a 2nd is possible, I'd do that in a minute... I'd also do Kennard for Pritchard and a 2nd).

It leaves a rotation of:

• G- Smart
• G- Kennard
• G- White
• G- TBD (Mclemore)
• Wing- Tatum
• Wing- Brown
• Wing- Anderson
• Wing- Nesmith
• Big-Williams
• Big- Horford
• Big- G. Williams
• TBD (Brown?)

In this setup, I'd also look at someone like Ben Mclemore as my 12th guy, while Lee (drafted above) gets started in the G-league.

However- if Anderson isn't available, everything changes. The backup wing to spell the Jay's is my top need this year, and I'd love to have it be someone who's great at ball movement.

• Thad Young has a lot of suitors, but he's someone I'd explore as a free agent.
• Larry Nance would be an interesting pickup if the Pelicans would consider moving him.
• The Clippers have cap woes, and around 7 wings... I'd talk to them about Kennard (as mentioned above), but also Morris and Covington.
• My surprise move here would be a 1:1 deal with Houston, sending Kenyon Martin Jr to the Celtics for Pritchard. This is a move that seems to help both teams.

I don't hate Pritchard, I just think he's probably the best chip we can move without tremendous distuption (Brown plays a lot of 2-guard, White and Smart can play both positions... so we're really only looking for a 4th guard who can hit some threes and play a dozen of so minutes per night... again, Ben Mclemore is my ideal candidate).

My ideal path involves Kyle Anderson, kickiing the tires on the large TPE to see if there's someone who really helps available for nothing but the money outlay, and adding a couple of pieces on the margins (Brown and Mclemore).

If Anderson isn't an option, I use the TPE to find someone who can do some of what Kyle does, and again, add aroud the margins.
