And he was drafted 48th...why can't the Celtics get someone like that??

I understand BPA but why can't Boston do BBA (Best Big Available)??

Yeah he was drafted 48, Draymond Green 36, Kawhi Leonard 15, Isaiah Thomas 60. Our draft pick cache is not junk if used wisely.

In the olden days that length would be a little scary to pay him 20 million at 35 years old. Under new CBA it is completely irrelevant. Completely crazy.

I think Marc will age well though - kind of like his brother who averaged 18.5pts. 11.8 boards, and 1.9 blocks last year at age 34. Honestly, I like this deal better than pouring that money into a high-flying athlete/lack of skill big like DeAndre Jordan.
