Dalen Cuff has bender as the guy if we want to trade it.   He is actually right that Bender is just not playing in europe because they know he is going to the NBA. They didn't play Porzingis either because it's a real league of older players over there and you have to earn playing time.

He has Murray as the guy if we keep the pick.  I don't understand this either. Murray is a good player but very young.

Tim Welsh has us taking Kris Dunn and trading the pick to Philly for Okafor.  Makes sense on the surface but I'll believe it when I see it.

Everyone else on there has their own opinion. Kyle Draper is all over the place.  Doesn't like Bender.  Likes Jimmy Butler I think.   just wants to jump off the cliff and trade the pick I think. So does Scal.

Mannix is hyping up the trade market that he usually does and never happens.

Felger is panning everything.

Abby Chin is hyping up everything and just going with the status quo

Are Paul George or Butler going to beat lebron?  Or even both of them?  It just seems like we jump to paul george now because durant is out.

What happens to the team we've been building?  Are we giving up on Marcus so soon?

We are the boston celtics here. Bleh listening to these sellouts.

Now we get to listen to Isaiah, Butler and Paul George rumors until draft time though.

Is Bird going to trade us Paul George for Marcus Smart?

CSN is a menagerie of sad clowns who believe themselves thespians.

One of these days they might actually be right that's the thing.

Murray or Dunn, please.
No more guys who are too small for their position.

Because 6'5 is now somehow "small" for his position? Ray Allen was 6'5.

I'm starting to wonder if Ainge even knows what he is doing listening to some of the mindsets in this town.  We have a lot of picks and good players and I usually see eye to eye with him on a lot but he has been in position to move up and get a guy like George or Porzingis and other players like that.  Red would get those guys and many of them. Ainge has yet to do that. He's made good trades and picked up a lot of picks though.

Tough to move up and get a guy like Porzingis or George when Bird and Phil jackson are drafting ahead of you.  Instead Ainge is targetting Okafor and Winslow.  It makes sense but Red would have been in position to get those guys.  It was easier to do that back then or whatever.   Ainge has it tougher.

We keep dwindling down though is this it?  Is this it?? etc, etc..

Sorry, I don't think Ray Allen is available.

Chris22 suggested that the Celtics should draft Murray or Dunn because they are not small for their position, unlike others that Ainge has drafted.

We are up in the draft at this point.   We got Marcus being up there too.  Those are our two biggest assets.  I actually liked Bradley that draft and had George as the guy with higher upside. Bird took him and Ainge ended up taking Bradley.  Marcus was the same thing. I was really high on Okafor as well.  Whiteside he let get past him somehow.  Same with Draymond. I really liked Porzingis last year too but Phil jackson isn't stupid.

We ultimately need to get star players.

I was also high on butler as well and Ainge let him get past him as well.  We took Marshon Brooks that year and traded him for jajuan johnson.

It's tough making the picks and you are going to miss a lot and Ainge has done more right than wrong but we have to get a star somewhere.

Exactly.
I would be okay with Brown as well. One of those three.

And who are those mythical undersized players that we'll draft at 3 then?
