OT - Celtics to trade #1 overall pick?

Any PG13 trade will have serious insurance, in case he jets, which he will to L.A. w/ James.

Unless hes the Allen & KG is coming to convince him to stay ...

Why trade for a guy you know won't stay? One year of George?

Maybe they're just trying to drive up the price for LAL? Beyond that, I have no idea.....

Trade pennies on the dollar for George for "one year" but then have Brady flash him the bling and convinced him to sign long term. Done deal.

1. Who said they would give him to us for pennies on the dollar

2. He's from Cali, he's made it clear that's his destination.

That reminds me that they had Kelly Olynyk represent the CEltics in discussions with Durrant. Lol what a debacle.

Love that we passed on Butler and took Tatum. I've accepted that Fultz is likely a overrated and I like Tatum. Tatum will be better than Butler by the time we realistically content.

Damn. LA is one of the last places I wanted Lonzo Ball drafted. I was hoping he'd go to a small market.

Now that he's in LA, you just know the media is going to turn his contrived, corny dad into a star and plaster his son's Freddy Kruger face everywhere.

Unless an Anthony Davis becomes available, sign Hayward and keep building through the draft or trade down and keep the future assets coming in. That's my preferred approach.

Regarding the Brooklyn picks:

3 picks used
1 pick remaining
1 washout
2 unkowns
0 dials moved

Hope they clean out some wings/guards if Hayward is coming. Gotta let Jaylen and Tatum develop.

Bradley out played him last 2-3 games of the series.

I'm cautiously optimistic that they will finish with the worst record next year. 2 top 5 picks in next years draft would be amazing!

Rozier and Crowder, along with Zeller, would seem to be a perfect starting point for a George trade.

Personally I would have gone with Jackson. He seemed like the tougher player. The more driven guy, and a best defender of the top 4. But who can tell when the top 7 players picked were attending their HS graduation this time last year.

The Celts still have 2 potential top 5 picks in next year's draft. Let's see if they continue to improve, and get further along the path this coming season. That being said I very much doubt that Danny is done building this team.

Looks like they drafted a Jimmy Butler clone at #37.
