In order to potentially move up in the draft, we may have to part with a player or two, and some future Draft picks.

Which players do you feel will be dangled? Which can we replaced easiest?

I'm thinking, Sully first and then Bradley are most likely dangled. I can picture someone being interested in IT.

I don't think anyone is waiting in line to grab Turner, Zeller, KO. (Smart is still too raw.) Crowder would be desirable if he we're signed.

Everyone really.
Id say AB and Sully have the most value, but id rather dangle KO and Zeller.
Smart is untouchable unless we get a star, James Young probably wont be moved as it would be tough to get equal value.

Who goes out depends on who is coming in. AB and Sully, as the most mentioned, have too much value to be dangled for anyone who isn't going to dramatically improve the team. Possibly to move much higher in the draft or for a high calibre return.

I think ET, KO or Zeller are more likely to be used along with picks. IT is part of the plan I think, though anybody could go if the right name was coming in.

Everyone, though it seems like it will take a lot to get Smart

Agree and disagree.  If we're talking about who will be actively shopped... I think it's fair to say we'll try to hang onto those guys.  If we're talking about who is available... it's literally everyone. 

I've said a bunch of times now... I can't envision a scenario where Boston lands a star via trade and Marcus Smart isn't involved.   He's our only real viable asset.  Any team trading all-stars will have to at the very least get Marcus Smart out of the deal.  He's a B- asset in a sea of C's and D's.  Gotta give something to get something.

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of who is being actively shopped. I know everyone is available if
a major star is dangled in front of the Celtics.
Honestly I think Sully more than AB. I think the C's saw that the team did pretty well at the years end, when Sully wasn't there.

Misses context, and you should think the C's saw that a out of rhythm Sully was still our most dependable and best big in the playoffs.

I don't think other teams value our guys as much as guys here in the forum do.   Sully and AB have value to the right team and Smart.   I recently read that some GMs think Young might be dangled.   So I too have to say all of them but I am not sure other teams will bite on the bait offered.

Understatement of the year. This is pretty much the case with any fan base, though.

I think Young, Olynyk, and Sullinger mostly get dangled.

I think Turner is the one that is least talked about, but who I think could get traded. Young maybe, but it'll be a package sweetener.

I kind of agree with everyone is tradeable. And was saying just shopped. I wonder though if you are building a contender there has to be some good support pieces so C's can't dump all their talent for just one or two guys. Much rather give up picks and cap flexibility to keep a promising player like Smart. Smart is already a solid defender and decent leader.
