 What if Bender is the BPA with the Nets pick.
 Skal Labissiere is the slider we pick with the Mavs pick, and we trade up to grab Diamond Stone with the Celtics pick.

 Is that too many bigs IYO? In this case we probably let Sullinger go unless he comes cheap, bring back Amir for one more year.

Amir Stone Mickey
Kelly Bender Skal

 Skal and Bender are extra raw and Mickey has no experience in the NBA. On second thought we are going to need Sullinger or Horford.

Not too many bigs. But I think Danny will look at at least one swing (unless we have KD locked in by draft night :) )

That draft may be painful year one, but by year three that big man rotation could be awesome.

I like DIAMOND with the Celts pick.

Drafting three bigs is fine if you think it'd work out well to head into next year with six bigs on the roster and a rotation of Olynyk, Mickey, Sullinger, and three rookies in the frontcourt.

I suppose it might if one of the rookies is Simmons and another is Poeltl.

"Celtics" and "too many bigs (good ones, anyway)" don't usually go together.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

 Good point dream frontcourt draft would have to be.

 Poeltl
 Simmons
 Stone

 And I'd be happy with

 Simmons
 Sabonis
 Stone

 The Super S Team.

Given C's are loaded with guards and the only strong SFs are at the top of the draft I expect at least 4 bigs. But then again DA loves guard tweeners. He can't stop himself to draft at least two small combo guards.

Doesn't really matter who we draft. We don't need 3 first round picks.

How about 3 new young bigs who have proven nothing?

our team depth chart would look like this season
as we'd have a logjam at the backcourt
then have another logjam at frontcourt
so too many bigs is possible as we need to give enough playing time for them and the team to succeed


i feel like our logjam have to do more with our lack of superior talent
as our players all have specialized skill sets and are better than each other in certain situations
except at SF where crowder is clearly our best option
i feel like this option of mix and match is great for stevens to tailor plays

What if Bender is the BPA with the Nets pick.

If it's Bender, he can stay with Maccabi Tel Aviv for a few more years (he is signed there for quite a while, but with reasonable out clauses).

 Good point Cannon. I'd be fine with one or two years overseas but not three that's my limit. I want him here in year three.
