Could a delay in signing Greg Monroe signal a big move is in the works?

Many of you may have started wondering why we haven't seen official news about the Greg Monroe signing, never mind a press conference. According to the Boston Globe's Adam's Himmelsbach, it could be because Danny Ainge is timing the signings for maximum flexibility. This certainly fits Danny's M.O., but what does that mean in terms of what he's got up his sleeve?

If you're looking for names, I can't help you.

However, what changes for taxpayers could give us a hint. Right now, as a non-taxpaying team, Boston can make moves in the lower end of its roster with a relative degree of ease, as the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) allows such teams the latitude to make deals within 175% of salary and $100,000 for players making $0 to $6,533,333, and to trade players earning $6,533,334 to $19.
