Could keeping our picks work out best?

[MSceltic]

Hear me out, what is Rajon Rondo known for? Making players better, giving them a great look and opportunity to score and succeed. Why do we not keep our draft picks, and draft him players that can be helped by him?
Aaron Gordon- high flying athlete who could catch lobs and also needs to be given the ball at the exact right moment to score

Nik Stauskas- catch and shoot player with decent athleticism, would work in the offense likes younger Ray Allen

Rodney Hood- catch and shoot player with the potential of Jeff Green but hasn't decided to be timid yet

Zach Lavine- Athletic specimen who could catch lobs and act as a larger 2nd PG

The 2015 class is loaded and I mean loaded with Center prospects to solve our interior defensive issues.

I understand you would have a tough time trying to resign Rondo, but why not ask him if he would love to be the Man that got to lead and distribute the ball to a bunch of young incredibly athletic thoroughbreds.

This is just one young fan's opinion, I would love to hear yall's

Chance they become a top 10 player like love is? Sure thy might be all stars, but they may be d-league bound

[Celtics4ever]

This requires a lot of best case scenarios but did not Love miss a lot of games due to a knuckle push up?

[MSceltic]

I understand that Love is great and I respect his game very much, but i do not want to over pay for him and him and Rondo will not be enough to really compete. Even if we add a center I don't think it will be enough. We just watched a spurs team built through the draft and molded into  Pop's image. (yes I understand Duncan is a once in a lifetime player) We signed Brad Stevens to a long term contract for a reason, let him build his team the way he wants through the draft. The 6 year or so run we had with the big three was great but I believe Ainge and Stevens are just as capable as anyone to build a dynasty

This is really a case of a bird in the hand versus two in the bush.  We know what Kevin Love is as a player.  Might some of these draft picks turn out to be really really good?  Sure, but they also might stink.  And what are the odds that any of them become as good as Kevin Love?  Not that high.  And no, two 13 and 6 players do not equal on 25 and 12 guy.

So, do we want to try for a sure thing or do we want to gamble?

As for Rondo, not having Love just may equal "he gone".

My answer is no it wouldn't be better.  Without another star Rondo will leave and then you are starting from scratch.  Top Free agents don't come to Boston and never have.  We make trades and then they see how great things are here.  That's why it's important to get Love.  It keeps Rondo and allows you to build on things.  You will still have Green (who is a good #2 or #3 option) and you will have either Sully or KO also.  Love, Rondo Green, plus a big is a good start

If the price ends up being too high for love sure i'm all for using the picks in another trade or just drafting whomever.
Kevin Love to me would up his already strong game on another team.   A three man core of rondo, green and love with a good pf off the bench in bass, ko or sully is a very good start.  If love isn't traded he plays out his time in minny and we can still sign him.  If he is traded to a team he doesn't want to resign with?likewise.  If minny is simply asking too much then lets hit chicago with a package to get noah or memphis and gasol.  I for one can picture the defense team of noah, green, rondo and bradley.

I'm against the Love trade.

The whole "3 superstars is the ONLY way to win a championship" mantra was just blown up by the Spurs, who nearly won last year as well.

The number 6 pick isn't going to cost 20 million per year to pay, nor is our very solid number 17 pick. Nor is Sully, KO, or our future picks.

Rushing the rebuild is the surest way to limiting and constraining the future.

We could probably work out a sign and trade of Jeff Green for Gortat, and keep all our picks. No need to mortgage the future and severely limit our future flexibility.

Keep the picks.

[Neurotic Guy]

It's always a gamble either way.  Yes, keeping the picks could work out best if the picks end up top 10 players.  The odds are with the guy we know is a top 10 player.  It's true that Love and Rondo alone don't win a championship, but it's a more likely road to one than with Rondo and potential.   But...you never know.

[NorthernLightning]

You guys act like there's something magical about having a top 10 player. As if drafting two mere lousy all stars would be worse than trading for a sacred and divine Top 10 Player.

Well you do know that the the all-stars we'd be drafting aren't actually all-stars.  Also, it is important to get a top 10 guy -- a championship without one is possible, but rare.

[Hawkeye199]

Three reasons I don't like investing to much in picks.

One
 it takes a while to be able to draft
Two
 It takes a while for the player to develop to what they can become
Three
It is a complete risk they could be total complete duds

 AT least Love has proven himself to be an all-star player

[GreenWarrior]

i'm looking at this upcoming season as no matter what happens, we win. if the deal for Love falls through, so be it. it means it wasn't the right deal.

yeah but no ones stupid enough to be convinced it's guaranteed those two players will be all stars.

oh wait...

Im pretty sure that was the cover up story for him punching something.
