Are they valued currency by anyone but Brad Stevens? He can't trade with himself and other teams seem more than comfortable throwing them away at him lol.

Hell when we were rebuilding we barely had enough roster spots to hold onto our first rounders we were waiting to develop before we were sure they were busts to continue to add seconds so it was a pleasure to kick some people some second rounders and clear some space.

It’s a competition to who can collect more… Brad’s future second round picks vs Joe’s unused timeouts.

Walsh is gonna be playing HARD in summer league. Probably harder than anyone else. Dude has a motor that never stops.

Ughh……That second could be a late second. Dont really like moving a early second for a unknown. Brad seemed more concerned with saving money tonight then getting talent. Would have liked him to have moved the first for a future first more.

Most of these guys can't play so it doesn't really matter.

I really don't think Walsh will pan out on the Celtics. On any other team, he would but since he can't shoot, he won't get minutes on the Celtics. Probably ever.

Gueye looks interesting. Not impressed with Walsh so far.

Best players left (we can go after some UDFA)

Sidy Cissoko
GG Jackson
TJD

Would be very surprised if any of them go undrafted though..

“Liked” being the key. Although short lived.

Just Walsh tonight. Gueye pick traded for future second.

I'm happy with it. A defensive wing fills a big need. Walsh is some sort of freak athlete, but not much offense. Not bad for 38.

He probably can't get over trading his own flesh and blood, Marcus Smart.

Brad tonight...

Bottom line in all of this is - it is really about saving money for the Celtics owners, isn't it? Bunch of cheap ass Scrooges.
