I could see us offering Romeo or Grant to move up in draft.
Would make a lot of sense.
We have picks 14*, 26, 30 and Langford, Grant, Edwards from last year's draft.
That's just too many roster spots.
Trading up is a logical plan.
Maybe 14 + 26 + Grant + Edwards = pick 8-10 range
I agree that its logical. But it depends on if teams are playing hardball with Ainge to try to extort more value because they think he feels like he needs to consolidate. It's pretty clear that he has a specific value in mind for each pick/player. He doesn't give up more value than its worth just to clean up their roster or consolidate picks. If a team is willing to pay a fair price for those picks/players, Ainge might play ball.
I could see him drafting every pick if teams are being difficult, just like he did in the Yabu and Zizic draft a few years ago.

Agree, Its also hard to see to many teams wanting to take on 4 young players in a trade down.
I suspect the Cs end up staying at #14 and as it was pointing out by @dangercart on twitter they should/could look to use #26 or #30 in a trade to move Poriers contract and pick up an additional 2nd round pick. The Cs are going to have to play cap and roster space gymnastics.
my prediction
#14 Maxey (effectively takes Wannamakers roster spot)
trade #26 and Porier to Grizz for #40
#30 draft Tillman or Nnaji (takes Poriers roster spot)
#40 Bane, Stanley, Mayes, Azubuike (takes Greens roster spot)
#47 draft and stash or a player willing to take a 2-way (other wise needs to take Semi spot, still may have to for cap purposes)
A few other players I really like who fit
Achiuwa at #14 high bust risk but could also thrive in Theis's role. If Cs go Precious at 14 then I suspect the later first is a guard rather then a big. Terry, Bolmaro, and Maledon could all be really nice fits. If that is the route they take then I would also look at Quickley in the 2nd round with time to develop he could be a steal as a shooting PG.
