What about Brad?

[Vermont Green]

Another aspect is the trading of picks.  Brad traded out of the #25 pick (and landed at #38) and traded #32 (drafting Shulga and Williams).

I have been super frustrated with his drafting. I also think he trades back so he doesn't get criticized for his picks!! The later you go in the NBA draft, the more of a total crap shoot!! Never trade the #25 pick for total crap like he did. Just no excuse for that, love Brad, but, bring in someone you have confidence in for the draft and just stay out of it!

To be fair, as noted above, the trade ended up being pick #25 for Walsh and 4 future seconds.  I can't say right now if BOS won or lost that trade but I think it is a bit harsh to declare the trade an abject failure on its face.  There is a point where enough second round picks is enough.  I think we currently own 3 in 2026, but many others have been traded away in past trades or have complicated protections.

That was a bad trade, IMO. Sasser was selected #25, he?s a rotation player for Detroit. Then you have Sheppard at #26(rotation player for Indy).Sensabaugh at #28 (starter for Utah). Strawther was #29 (rotation player for Denver). Teams are finding solid players in the late first round.
