Who the..?


I thought we agreed no spoilers.


True, that said... if we got a second round pick in this draft along with this that's a great trade.

I just don't know what the trade was yet.

FWIW, we’re right on the edge of being able to use the MLE below the 2nd apron hardcap if we let Grant go. #25 to #31 will save us like $1M, and that’s does matter not just about owners’ money, but having the MLE vs not.

It's worth it if Brad Stevens gets to preserve his streak.

So Brad still has yet to draft in the first round. Brad is a soft as his players.

O-Max going at 24, so the next on their board not considered worth the guaranteed $$?
