This is a star league right....the Celtics are playing well and may make at least the second round of the playoffs without their two stars.

That's depth and great coaching.

Idk, if you guys think we got ALOT of work then trading down with the Clippers is the best option. There's no can't miss prospect at 9 to warrant us not desiring to draft two players not even that far from pick 9, both of whom at one point were probably projected to go 9. I don't see anyone up to pick 14 who wasn't at one point projected at 9 or in some cases even better.

There's just too much talent in this draft. You can't tell me the potential of getting Miles Bridges and Lonnie Walker back to back isn't higher than the potential of any single player drafted at 9 and now you just drafted your wings of the future in one round.

If you feel we have allot of work to do then one pick per year, even if it remained steady at pick 10 for 3 yrs forward probably won't cut it. We need to be playing with top 5 picks or multiple first rounders building depth

Not sure why the Clips would be interested by a trade up. Trae can be that kind of exciting if he's still up there at 9th

Anyhow, we have to wait for the lottery and then draft night for that kinfd of deals

Oh of course. When I say trade down I hope you guys trust that I know it happens on draft night. But that's my dream, to hear Adam Silver step to the podium and say "we have a trade"

i never rely on trading down...if you like a player at your spot..you take them. simple as that. anticipating a trade for picks is pointless since they rarely happen.

Minnesota has traded Jimmy Butler and Justin Patton to Philadelphia for Robert, Covington, Dario Saric and a 2022 second-round draft pick, league sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski.

If you think that’s something, consider how Celtics have just as much of a chance as a bottom-dweller team to draft either Zion, Reddish or Barrett.
