The @celtics
 have long had eyes for Isaac Okoro, league sources told me. If they do move up in next week's draft, he's the likely target.

He does sound like Ainge's kind of player. There are comps to Iguodala, Jaylen Brown, and former Ainge binkie Justise Winslow physically on Okoro's ESPN/Ringer draft profiles. They're all around the 6'6''-6'7'', 220-pound range.

On the positive, he has the size/strength to play top-level defense against probably at least 1-4 positions. On the negative, he's a big question mark on offense (big surprise).

He wouldn’t be a good fit for us.  Too redundant.

Also, Deveney lost his credibility years ago I think.

Please, no. No more of that.

I feel like every offseason, the media links us to a dozen different draft names and trades proposals only for us to do something completely different.

I don’t get the sense that the Celtics FO is in the habit of leaking good information.  So unless it comes from somebody super reliable like Woj or Shams, it’s probably safe to ignore it.

figures, another undersized power forward.
