JJ if available, if not then Isaac.


That's just NTB. There is no consensus here. It looks like we've narrowed down to Tatum, JJ and Isaac, but that's still TBD. Still indicators the FO may go with Fox or try to move up for Ball. We do not know.

This is big.

These elite prospects do not work out for a team out of their range if these teams do not give them a REALLY good reason.

I think that a big trade is coming before the draft.

Are we the most boring team when it comes to news? Seriously, our front office has some kind of secret ops missions going on. I yawn every time someone posts a story on prospects outside of the top 5. Who is Jordan Bell, Raja Bell's brother? Crappy joke aside, I wish we had someone on the inside.

If we did, so would the whole rest of the league. Realgm isn't exactly the dark web.

Do you guys really want to know what's going on ahead of time? I like it when surprise stuff comes out of left field. Draft night should be really fun this year.

The Celtics need a rim protector agile enough to switch on the perimeter, and WCS is perfect at that.

At #5 they can take another big time prospect like Tatum or Isaac. At #10 they can get a big for their bench (Collins or Markkanen).

Honestly, I think that's the best move for them, but I also think that Isaiah Thomas would be rather upset not to play with his fellow Husky.


don´t think Celtics are stockpiling even more draft picks, though. If they canflip #1 for WCS, #5 and #10, they probably keep WCS and flip the other two (plus fillers if needed) for Butler.


Yeah, the speculation I've seen is that they would probably acquire picks and assets for Chicago from Sacramento and end up with Butler.

A Fultz/Hield back court could be pretty scary.

Qwigglez wrote:Fultz looks like he can make an immediate impact coming into the league. I think he has a mixture of John Wall and Damian Lillard in him. I think him and Ben Simmons would win co-rookie of the year. This is all assuming the Suns traded for him because he won't get the playing time with the Celtics. Trading for Fultz would solidify our core going forward and mean the Suns are content with Warren being our starter.
I would be very happy going into next season with Fultz/Booker/Warren/Bender/Chriss as our starting five. I think I would even go as far as even trading the 2018 Miami pick along with Bledsoe to get Fultz. Just the thought of a Fultz/Booker backcourt reminds me of Lillard/McCollum except better. Oh and hopefully a better supporting cast. ;)

Anyway, I know a lot of you may not agree, and I'm fine with that. My opinion though is Fultz is the next big PG coming into the league.


I agree. A Fultz/Booker backcourt would be sick.

I guess that means there are talks.


It would be a damn good manuever for both teams to get more teams to call in offers for #1 (assuming Fultz) and give more than a higher pick to Sac (like add in a player) for the 5 and 10 as well.

Record for that run is 28 3/4 i think.


Wasn't that Archie? Here we got a big man putting up that number.

Jordan Bell is my Tyler Ulis this year. I want him.


Yes I want him too.


All those Oregon guys have gotten great coaching and know how to play the right way and to always give max effort and be a team player. The Oregon teams of the last several years have been extremely hard nosed and tough and always seemed to play better than the sum of their parts. I'd take any of the top Oregon prospects in the right spot.

Good to know, not my favourite prospect but he is an option at #4.

Any word about Fox?

Wow if Celtics can get Butler then sign Hayward.

That was my ideal situation.. Get two of George, Butler and Hayward.
