4 2nd rounders for one. I'm happy with it.

Maybe Brad trades up if he really wants his guy? Crazy to think but the front offices have more intel on the ranges for these guys. For example, Kalkbrenner could very easily fall to 40, as could Thiero. Nobody knows.

Brad is channeling his inner DA.

Hoarding those second round picks like crypto. :lol:

Brad had a chance to get a seriously good first round talent. But instead he traded it. So we have a chance to get four more j d davidson's.. :banghead:

Brad is just collecting ammo for the Giannis trade. Bucks pining for those 2nd rounders.

2nd round picks are currency. They are super valuable in the trade market and at the deadline. Brad is on record saying this. The picks themselves have a bad hit rate. Its actually smart pushing your second rounders into the future so that you always have those assets in your pocket. The chances of Penda or Fleming becoming NBA players is maybe slightly more than whoever we pick at 46. And thats if we don’t trade out again

Brad is going to unload Walsh and Tillman

Quibble, but Walsh just has a $200k guarantee, so not necessary. Not even getting to the fact that he's a future superstar...

Someone good is gonna still be there at 46.

Hopefully 1 of Broome, Raynaud, Markovic...backup plan Kalkbrenner/Amari Williams

1 of those guys WILL be on the board at 46.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Brad has several guys in mind at #46 and thinks tht at least one of them will be there. #57 is just a crap shoot.

Just because you think a guy is a first round talent doesn't mean the league agrees BTW...

I must admit that I'm getting concerned with just how far Stevens is willing to go to save money for the Celtics that he's traded multiple picks for further down the road.

How about last year when he outright traded a first round picks into multiple second round picks?

That was **** ridiculous.
