Okay ... maybe one thread for a draft that probably will be a yawner for us. then again there is the Josh Smith trade rumor swirling around. So - what do you think? I would draft Jeremy Tyler if possible - has upside and considering the options at #25 it's a wtf pick anyways.
Can we dump Big Baby ... sign and trade, dump ... whatever ... time to cut the string there.

If the Celtics hold on untill next year they have a max contract to spend with. If they trade for Smith now they lose that somehow according to the talking heads.

* Would the Celtics be interested in such deals?: Adding 25-year-old Smith would certainly add youth to an aging Boston roster, but the Celtics' biggest current needs -- center and backup wing -- don't jive with a straight up swap of Smith and Allen. A Garnett swap is intriguing because you get younger at the power forward spot and potentially get a key bench asset in the likes of Hinrich, but the defensive drop-off from Garnett to Smith is pronounced (though it would be with any player; Smith did rank in the top 10 in defensive rating in 2009-10 and is one of the league's best shot blockers). It would seem far more ideal for Boston to have Garnett around to mentor Smith (who finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting during that 2009-10 season).
