Think we can Trade #30,

Get out of the 1st Round.

2023: traded 1st round pick, drafted Walsh at 38 (signed Vincent Valerio-Bodon as UDFA)
The blueprint seems to be: trade 1st round pick, draft 1 guy in the 2nd round and sign 1 UDFA)
I don't think we need to draft 2 or 3 guys. Just 1 is fine.
I'm fine is we trade pick 30 and just try to draft a hidden gem (perhaps someone like Jelavic) at 54.
In the next couple weeks, we'll probably start hearing reports about different guys coming in for pre-draft workouts with the Celtics.
The deadline for guys to declare for the draft is 4/27. Perhaps workouts will start after that.

Brad’s approach is reasonable…..unless there is another Jaime Jacques sitting there at 30.

Guys that big just won't hold up that long because their bodies just won't allow it. Edey needs to lose something like 50 lbs in order for me to trust him. Nothing worse than a draft pick who is never available.

Well Edey will never be asked to do half of what Embiid does. Plus Embiid goes/falls to the floor more than any ever except Marcus Smart it seems.
and for someone who "wouldn't take Edey with 90 picks" just drew a line in the sand.
Edey may never get close to becoming a quality high level starting center, but I feel he will definitely carve out a role somewhere.
*** If Kornet can make an NBA career, so can Edey

I am definitely not so high on zach that I could rule this out as a possibility. But with that said I feel zach is better in every single category.. Especially in the hands and coordination department.. And that will give him a career in the NB.A at some level

30 and 54 maybe? Or 30 and a future second.
I think 34 is probably as valuable as 30 because the options with a second rounder.
I think the trade would be 30 for 40 and a future 2nd from the blazers.
