The Trade Thread "Dead" #4: The Fun is OVER...For now.

[Celtics_Champs]

Celitcs fans at the trade deadline - "Come on Danny, get rid of some of those draft picks for a fringe player!!!!"
Celtics fans on draft day - "Man, I wish we had more draft picks so we could pick up this potentially good fringe player!!!"

YOOO. I may be in the minority, but I love Collins.

There are a few 2nd-round picks who hit really big, like Jokic or Marc Gasol (who was a key trade piece for the team that first drafted him). Ainge hasn't had one of those. But BBD, Powe, Semi and so on give him a decent 2nd-round track record even so.

I do agree that those successes haven't been all that important ... and by the way, Ainge has been pretty free to trade his 2nd-round picks away.

That is one of the worst track records in the league, he got that in over 15 years, and it's not like asking to get an all-star with second rounds, just good bench players, or to get a starter in over 15 years like most teams do.

Abdel Nader, E'twaun Moore & Kadeem Allen say hi

Oh well, I guess you gotta go through all the second round picks who've hit and make a percentage list, and also a definition of when you really hit. Unless you've done that you're just talking with your anti DA-goggles on.

Ask and ye shall receive.

This is Ainge's entire draft history.

My methodology removes players we drafted for another team as part of an already agreed upon trade, and includes players another team drafted for us as part of an already agreed upon trade. (This leads to some strange cases like excluding Jeff Green, since we drafted him for Seattle, even though we clearly also liked him as well, since I can't know for sure if he was actually going to be our guy at #5. But every method has flaws and I think this is the least flawed.)

Edwards/Semi/Green/MIL 20 for Wood/Kieff???

Not bad however I think that's a bit of an overpay. I'd move the frenchman, Mil pick and some filler. Not Semi.

Yeah, slight overpay, but if we're crawling back to the table... Poirier/Semi, either is fine by me.

We could afford to send out one solid rotation player in a deal for those two.

Why take Collins when we have Vincent Porier?

Sorry but it just irks me seeing this team consistently standing pat every single trade deadline.

I don't think that account is legit.

KOC throwing out Bertans rumors. I think I’d give away the Mil pick and our pick for him. **** it.

Step back from the ledge man!

[Homerclease]

Collins or Wood would be amazing but I’m not getting my hopes up for either. Still have no clue why Atlanta would dump Collins

[watsonthedragon]

Is that twitter account legit? If so, I wonder what it would take to get Collins...

[CelticsLV]

Coach Brad said we might do something minor.

Ainge after not making any moves like always...

I'd go a first and high second in a heartbeat, tbh. But to have two first's as a place to stand is silly. Be fluid with negotiations.

Whos gunna pay him this summer? We gave his bird rights and cap space just seriously dropped due to moves by ATL and MEM

Ya know -- now that Memphis' main trades seem to be known, there's a LITTLE more clarity as to the value of this year's Memphis pick.

You really would prefer pick 45 over pick 30 so much that you wouldnt do the deal?

I miss Afam.
