Multiple Reports: Celtics Attempting to Trade Up for Austin Rivers (Merged)

[perks-a-beast]

in addition i feel very old. Seems like just yesterday Austin Rivers was just a puny high school kid crying and congartulating his dad after winning the 2008 finals. Now it's a distinct possibility he could be one of our draft picks.

Heck, the fake Sam Amick was posting stuff just as credible the other day.

Just going up on ESPN with @ESPNSteinLine: Celtics pessimistic they can get high enough in draft No. 1 target Austin Rivers

For you Amick non believers , maybe this will make you believe....

but lucky for you looks like it won't happen.

I can see this happening.

21, 22 and Bradley for #10, where Austin should be waiting for us...


NO already scores w/ Davis, why not parlay other 1st into 3 solid  young players, 1 a starter?

I'd only be onboard if we keep Ray, KG for cheap allowing Danny to drop a godfather offer on Javale McGee.

Hopefully this is just Danny doing a favor for Austin's draft buzz.

I hope its this, also.

I dont believe it, it would be a terrible idea

I hope not.  Bradley arguably has as much upside as Rivers.

[Snakehead]

I really like Austin Rivers and we could really use a shot creator and scorer... but the whole Doc's son thing makes it strange.  I'd be so surprised if this happened.

[cltc5]

no.  We dont need more guards

[Birdman]

Hope Rivers grows to 7 feet and can rebound and block shots b/c thats what we need

[ManUp]

I can see this happening.

If a deal like that happened I think I would projectile vomit until I passed out.

agree. 
and practice will be real awkward if Auston doesn't pickup the defensive rotations...

I dont see that happening and it would be a terrible idea. There are guys I want over Austin Rivers at 21 and 22... if we're gonna move up I'd rather go after a guy with a ton of center upside like Drummond who in the right environment can reach his potential (like under kg if hes here).

Also wasnt the main target MKG a few hours ago?..

So agreed.  Bradley is such a good player it'd be very disappointing if that happened.  The appeal of an Austin Rivers to me would be as a 6th man change of pace guard.  A 3 guard rotation of Rondo, Bradley, Rivers would be versatile and varied.
