Based on my rule of 6 draft chart 2015. That has been adjust to rule of 4 (not yet posted) 18 to 24 range pick added. So Dallas pick would be slightly over. C's possibly under.

Also the rule did work as C's failed in the Hornets deal trying to go up. But I'm scaling things to 4 spots.

What do u think It would take to jump from 7 to 4, or 6 to 4. I'm thinking I'd prefer Hield over Jaylen Brown and if I can pick up future firsts to do so than heck yeah.

 So if we know Hield is going 7th and we can trade back two spots to Six and stil l get our guy even if it's not Hield what type of return could we expect..

Wrong question.

Should ask what it would take to move up from the DAL pick to get Hield. With so many 1sts and 2nds in this upcoming draft, Ainge should consolidate picks.

This

It's tough to say what the market will be like without knowing the draft order yet and before any of the workouts.  But I agree that if we end up in the 3-5 range I'd love to see the Celtics trade down to 6 or 7 and snag Hield or Poeltl.  Does anyone think a team in the 6-8 range would do something like the Brooklyn pick, either the Dallas pick or (preferably) our own first rounder, and a second rounder or 2 for their pick this year and their unprotected first rounder next year? 

Another good question is...

How many spots can we move up if we combine the #6 pick with the #12 pick.

What if we added in a future Brooklyn pick or two ?

That high up in the draft, the #12 pick is usually worth moving up to the #5 pick, but that's only if the team picking fifth wants a player who they believe will be available at #6 if they trade or is completely unenthusiastic about the players available.

If there is a bidding war maybe it's that. I still see a one spot move to be way too low a value. It has to be worth a 2 or 3 spot jump not one. Also if the team in front doesn't want the guy you want they will often gladly trade down one spot to just save money and trade for a second round pick. A team will put conditions on the 2nd and sometimes it never even comes.

 You gotta be realistic about rookies playing time.

 We could draft Bender and Skal Labissiere, and they wouldn't see the Court for a long time but still have big Upside.

 We could draft Jaylen Brown and Deyonta Davis two guys with huge ceilings, but a long way away from helping to win Games.

 If you want guys that can play now, hope for

 Buddy Hield, Valentine, or Sabonis. Those guys are ready to play ball right now.
