Dragan Bender is scheduled to come to Boston for a workout on June 21, according to a league source.
This is a pretty good strategy by Bender's agent. If he kills it in workouts right before the draft it'll be fresher in Ainge's mind than a good workout by Brown a month ago.

It also gives Bender time to practice the drills they will probably run during NBA workouts.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Time for a 4/13 and 3/16 swap when Phoenix falls in love. Then try to move into the top 10 again.

You're much more generous than I am. If they want 3, they're giving up 4 and 13. I would maybe consider giving them 23, but it would more likely be something in the second round. Then use 13 and 16 to trade up.

Well, he also has some plans to workout for Phoenix and Minnesota, I believe, so I'm curious as to how the workouts are broken down. The Boston one could be the last one since he'll then be fairly close to Brooklyn for the draft.

Does anyone know if it's realistic at all to have both Murray and Hield and maybe Jaylen also do a joint workout for the Celts?

I know if I were the Celts I'd want to see one on one, two on two, and three on three.

I would highly doubt that all of their agents would allow that.

Brown would be the only one to show up because he doesn't have an agent. It is actually a very interesting take on the draft process and one that actually endures him to me. He has advisors but no agent. Once drafted his contract is set by the CBA so kind of like selling your own house why both with an agent. This seems like an intelligent take n the process by a kid who is reported to be very smart.

What i like about Brown is that he is not scared. He challenged simmons or ingram to 1 on 1 ball.

Celtics asked him to play against house (3-4years older) and no problem. 

He knows he is going in the top 8 and could include restrictions in his workouts.  But has not

I think the verdict is still out on that.  A lot of agents discount the rookie contract fee because there is less negotiating.  Having an agent may also help a player get selected earlier in the draft, as the player now has someone to lobby on his behalf.  Furthermore, agents don't only negotiate contracts.  If a dispute arises between player and team, the agent can act as a go-between, so that the player can focus on basketball and not a labor issue.

It may work fine for him, but he may also regret it.  Only the future knows.

I just read over at realgm that Jaylen Brown just canceled a workout with the TWolves to do a second workout with the Celtics.

Maybe a smokescreen and they take Dunn.

Ha, ha, ha... Who can believe anything these days before the draft? 

Right now I have no good idea whom Danny will draft, or trade for. 

My guesses, and I mean guesses, if he drafts are -
Bender
Dunn
Brown
Maybe Murray

A trade? Maybe butler, definitely not okafor.  But maybe someone else.

I simply am lost at this point.  When is the draft again? ;D

Same w/ Smart, who worked out for his second time during draft week, unlike Julius Randle, who turned down a 2nd workout to do an interview with GQ, which sealed the deal for Smart

Past evidence seems to suggest that we've zeroed in on Jaylen Brown, who I think has the second highest upside in the draft after Simmons
