Notice I said If we don't sign any major free agent. Emphasis on if. We needed this draft to make our team more attractive for free agents to want to come here. No good free agents is coming to the Celtics to play with Smart, Bradley and whatever rookies we draft.

Well, we got to make trades. If we can't, that's on danny. I think we will be fine. I would stand pat.

What trades? It's going to be a summer of everyone saying "keep calm" .. "Let things play out fellas" ... Who are we going to trade with? Maybe get Deng from Miami so Justice can shine ... Ugh ok. That made me feel better... I'm ok now

We have to take Oubre now, right?

Where are all these trades. The GMs in the top 10 are all from shaky organizations and don't want to be the guy who trade a star for more picks.

It's ok to be mad fellas. We all love the Celtics. Some of us are more frustrated than others.

Portis is a nice player.. But maybe we can swing something like Kaminsky up to New York, Porzingis to us, and assets to Charlotte?

Vasquez is a player I've always loved. Seems like it could be the precursor to an MCW trade. Kidd is going a great job of creating a team with great length and toughness.

Not one trade yet. Surprised that there is no movement at all. But, the night is young.

Yeah, all these assets, but like any smart GM he didn't put the best ones out there.

Smart
BRK picks
Dallas pick
Mem pick

I'm sure he would have moved some of those to get a sure fire stud like Okafor, but those picks clearly weren't seriously going to be traded. But he wasn't going to trade those very good assets for 9, because he's a smart GM dealing with idiots like Charlotte.

So Danny is a genius in a league full of idiots. 50% kidding.

Well I did pick a Raptors point guard being the biggest name being traded in the predictions thread, so there is that. Just picked the wrong one.

More like it's the 2nd year in a row we did not have the assets to carry out our plan.

Maybe you are satisfied finishing in 16t place in a 30 team league where 5-6 teams try to lose on purpose, but I have standards.

Standards that will not be met by barely making the playoffs in a historically weak East with a losing record and drafting 16th.

Everyone laughed at Danny's offer to Philly for the #3. I read somewhere else today that he's trying to steal deals with other teams and he's lowballing offers.

Signs are pointing to us having a stingy GM over not having the assets. In fact, I don't believe that not having enough assets to get deals done is the issue at all.

Of course Danny is trying to win trades...that is how you win titles.

Jeez, people are oblivious.
