So what will Danny do for moves in the offseason ?

[LogicMan]

Well its time to start ramping up the rumors. I am for one sick and tired of more picks .

If theyre that worried about the tax this is their place to add reinforcements.

to me Xavier Tillman at 26 or 30 is a must.

I will be frank Q and let you know I really did not study this draft well, kind of impossible with no dance

But I plan to start taking it serious. They need a 4/5 upgrade badly

And dare I say I would trade Kemba to get that

xavier Tillman is an elite defender at the 5.

he’s slightly undersized but strong af

his defensive metrics at Michigan st were ridiculous this year. Analytics gave him as the best center in the draft

the question is offensively how he fits in the modern but he’s been killing it in shooting drills at the combine. Not a good ft shooter tho. But he did jump to 3 assists per game. That’s decent playmaking

I loathe Michigan st, but I’m obsessed with this kid. And I trust Brad to figure it out. Much better value than using the mle for a 5.

Agree on the MLE for a 5. Let me check him out

he’s not perfect.

there’s reasons he’s available at 26 in most mocks.

but he’s a day 1 rotation player at a position of need can probably be a mini horford type long term

What finalized CBA amendment means for the Boston Celtics

NBA free agency will open on Friday, November 20

It appears that we will know the Enes and Gordon situation real soon and it allows Danny to use or know his assets going into the draft

Looks like the NBA will be going crazy starting next week

I doubt either is on the roster opening night.

Danny probably needs to use 47 to dump frenchy

Q I don’t see him on many mock drafts

he’s a late first, early second rounder. I think he goes round 1. Especially with a shortened training camp.

he’s a plug and play pick.

I just think this is the season Danny moves all the picks and a player to get set at the 5

this is the wrong draft to do that imo.

Sounds like they are pursuing Jrue Holiday. Don't really get it...I feel they need to get bigger. Love their 1-3's

 

[The Q]

Hayward and all 3 picks for Jrue is kind of steep. Danny needs to be getting something else as part of this

Danny hopes to see many rumors float. For every one that leaks two more are in play.

 

[Gman]

I agree with @The Q and @LogicMan ... I don't see it. IOW: this trade doesn't "fit"

This is a good time to remind everyone that the Celtics always seem to be mentioned as a potential trade partner whenever anybody is up for a trade.

Fun times ahead. Lots of speculation. I do think this is going down.

You think Jrue Holiday to the C's is gonna happen?

I don't. Doesn't make sense to make a "big trade" for someone who will ultimately become a back-up on our team.

I get that we have an excess of picks and Hayward has been hurt/unreliable... but this trade just doesn't fit. Even if we wanted to make a splash here... we already have an excellent defensive swing guard on the roster (Marcus Smart). Not sure that adding another one should be a priority.
