Add a fa prediction. Go bold. Pick a restricted guy, and a team with no cap space.

Watch:

Harrison Barnes will be a Clipper my sources are telling me.

Now you try. It is harder than it seems.

My sauces just told me that Andre Drummond has signed a five year max with the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are very excited to place him with the rest of their core along with Kevin Durant.

Darn, beat me to the breaking news haha.. At least my sources can confirm Kobe Bryant is un-retiring to join Phil Jackson and the New York Knicks. Sorry, carry on with productive things to this thread.

Any Cousins rumors with legitimacy out there? He seems real upset with this latest Kings move.

I'll start a rumor if you like....

Knight, Warren, Bender, Chriss for Cousins, Casspi?

I'm very surprised at the lack of trades...

Feel like Ainge made a real mistake not taking Dunn and trying to work this out himself.

I think he probably had weeks to get it done and when it wasn't finished pre-draft, he just went another way. Could be right though. I have no idea what Boston is going to try do with all these picks.

There were a couple made before the draft, one made in the lottery, and the possibility that Butler could be headed to Minny. At this point, those late picks just don't have much value and teams without picks don't really have assets they'd be willing to trade to get them.

Woj is a massive St Bonnaventure homer. It is his only endearing trait.

Celtiswise -- Absolutely.
Leaguewise -- There have been more than expected.

Spoiler alert, when I give out my draft grades the Celtics grade will literally be a steaming pile of poo.

That's a real nice pick by the Sacremento Kings... Still getting a F... but a higher F...

I bet Celts take Davis and its a repeat of last year where everyone thinks the order of their picks should have been flipped

Last Boston Pick... COME ON NEO!

Got 1 more pick.

Trade wise as a whole I would have said Bellinelli and 8 for 13, 22, and 28 and Bogdan would have been a win for them.

The Bellinelli trade was a very good one, and they made a good pick with it... the trade at #8 where they could have taken Chriss or Ellenson to pair with Boogie was a serious fail.

I feel like there is a suck it meme that fans of 20 nba teams want to respond with.

If true, other GMs are just screwing with Ainge now:

Edit - from the Tribune:

The Bulls held advanced discussions with the Celtics centered on Butler and the No. 3 pick. One proposal featured Avery Bradley, a source said. Another involved Jae Crowder, a second source said. Other pieces would have been included.

But the Celtics have a reputation around the league of trying to win trades, and the overall package kept changing and never met the Bulls' liking, sources said.
