Should the Celtics take the BOPA with the third pick

[Sketch5]

I'm kinda thinking this will be the 2016-17 Celtics starting 5
 
Jahlil Okafor < Trade #3 pick + Marcus Smart
 
 Ryan Anderson PF < free agent pick up after Durant resigns 2 year deal with OKC.

Isaiah Thomas PG

Avery Bradley SG

Jae Crowder SF

Not a bad team right here. I'm confident the Celtics keep the 2017 swap draft pick. I think this team gets to the ECF

What?! They're not getting number three AND Smart for Okafor. Hell, it's now being reported that Danny isn't thinking Okafor is worth number three..

I think he's worth number 3 but I don't think the 3 + Smart is worth it but u never know, Danny tried before the deadline.

There was a rumor at the deadline that something like that *may* have been offered, but that was when the Brooklyn pick wasn't a top-3 lock. That substantially changes things now with regard to value.

Yep. And since Philly has said they wanted to get rid of Noel and Okafor, they don't have as much selling power as they did when that rumored potential trade was in the works. I'm sure some one may over pay for that, but it wont be DA. Or at least I hope not.

Right.  Not that we know it didn't end up top 2 it's probably less valuable then when it had a chance to land top 2.

Dunn is third best player

We should take him


And then trade him for a young big.

That team sucks and would get killed inside on D and on the boards.

The team needs two-way players.

Best two-way prospect available.

heild or dunn or bender it is then.  well, that narrowed things down.

What!? Since when is Hield a two-way player?

I don't think you'll get Okafor in a straight swap for the #3.

Always has been. Unless of course you're (rightfully) concerned about how his offense will translate... when he's not shooting threes, that is.
