Wonder if Grizz would trade the pick (if 7 or to C's to avoid having to give up the future pick promised?
In terms of the tank and rebuild and the weak draft it may make sense. C's may prefer the high first now for trade ammo.
If the Celtics/Grizz wanted to they could do a trade/agreement to remove the protection and get the pick this year.
Multiple credible Boston beat reporters and multiple credible national reporters have stated the Celtics Organization does not want the pick this year.
I do not get why people seem to doubt that the C's Org. would rather have the pick roll over STILL.
Even if you are correct, not wanting the pick at 9 or worse, doesn't mean they might not be ok with the pick at 7, especially since 7 is the best they can do next year if it conveys.
If they throw in Wright in the deal too....then absolutely.
I know that wright cannot be traded until the 29th of June, but a 3 way deal.
Memphis pick (Should it land in the 5-7 range)
Wright
Miles
for
Rozier S&T
perhaps a second rounder for a little more incentive if needed.
Memphis gets their pick back, adds a young PG that will allow them to trade off Conley for wing upgrades.
Tatum, Memphis pick (5-7), Clipper Pick, CJ Miles, Boston 2nd rounder, Boston 2021 First, Williams, Yabusele,
for
Davis
Irving/Wright
Smart/Brown
Hayward/Sacramento Pick
Horford/Theis
Davis/Baynes
