Should the C's stand pat?

Moderators: bisme37, Parliament10, shackles10, snowman, canman1971, Darthlukey, Shak_Celts, Froob

If the C's can draft a big man in 2018, should they still try to trade for Anthony Davis?

Are you aware of which AD we're speaking about?

If not I'll give some hints, he's 24 and likely the bets player in the NBA right now.

He is questionable for being the best player in his own team tho.

If JT keeps this pace ha would have 2,5 less rebound than him, 0.03% worst 2p%, 1 less block than him with a vastly better outside shot in his rookie season.

AD just suffered the third concussion of his career. Does this play a role in the decision to try and trade for him? If it’s a close call, I say yes it does. It could be the deciding factor moving forward, especially if it happens again.

I'm sort of off the AD bandwagon.
There is a plethora of bigs coming out of this draft, we should target one of them.
Plus it's a swing players league now. I want to keep Tatum and Brown.
AD to me has that Danny Manning frame that will break down repeatedly.

I’m starting to come around to this line of thinking as well. I was somewhat of a detractor of Brown before the season, but he has really pleasantly surprised me. If we did end up with the Lakers pick I would probably keep it and select one of the bigs.

Tatum, for me, would be absolutely off the table.

Stand pat on keeping, brown, tatum, rozier, irving, hayward, the rest serve s purpose if the purpose out ways the cons you gone. We have a pick with bigs that look damn good this has to a degree weaken me on wanting cousins , ad, etc. and I'm 100% on board use the damn dpe. So stand by on big trade and yes on dpe.

He also is maybe two concussions away from retiring (if he'd have any sense left by then).
