We draft Davis and trade him to Memphis

[Smitty77]

WHY???

[Tr1boy]

WHY???

Motor is average

[Smitty77]

Danny Ainge's brain is average too!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jpd985]

WHY???

Even with stashes 8 picks is too much.

That 2019 Clippers first we got for 31 and 35 should make the future solid

[jambr380]

Hopefully LAC is decent, but not too decent. Two years of 1-14 protection is a little scary. By that time, Paul maybe ready to move on.

2019 first round draft pick from L.A. Clippers
If at least two years after the L.A. Clippers conveyed a 1st round pick to Toronto, then the L.A. Clippers' 1st round pick to Memphis protected for selections 1-14 in 2019 and 1-14 in 2020; if the L.A. Clippers have not conveyed a 1st round pick to Memphis by 2020, then the L.A. Clippers will instead convey their 2022 2nd round pick to Memphis [L.A. Clippers-Memphis, 2/18/2016]


Ouch.

[PhoSita]

Desperate "I don't want to use all these picks" trade.

Yep.  We knew we had too many picks to use them all.  Getting a future 1st for 2 2nds is a fine deal.

Desperate "I don't want to use all these picks" trade.

Could be a really nice asset in a few years.

[fubar089]

I'm guessing he muffed the interview process or maybe character concerns / work ethic maybe?

[Smitty77]

This is quickly devolving into the WORST Celtics' draft I have EVER followed and I am 51 and have followed quite a few of them!!!!

Ouch.

That's not an ouch.  A lottery protected 1st is worth two seconds from a team that should finish out of the lottery.  I suppose if Paul and Griffin leave it could be an ouch, but it's unlikely.

The problem is that we are waiting so long for that pick!  And it's lotto protected as well.
If it were a 1st rounder in the rumored to be stacked 2017 draft, I'd really like that trade!

Plus, if Davis turns out to be a good player, we will be kicking ourselves.

So much for high second round picks having so much value.
