“We had some discussions, but it takes two teams to make a trade.”

We’d hear a lot about the value of continuity with the new season starting in just a month.

And we should. Healthy Hayward and we would have been in the finals. Hope Hayward is watching Horford getting screwed and restructures that contract to come back. Danny hits on the pick at 14 and we are solid.

I'm kind of excited about who is still going to be there

we will probably take somebody I don't like, but oh well

That’s a crazy pick.

He's looked great in workouts recently, but there is some talk about sending him to HOU for Westbrook

Thank god I was so nervous we'd take him. Got sick and tired reading about him on hardwood Houdini. He's too frail to be a 5 and not quick enough to be a switching 5. Not a fit here

I had some interest in him, but hopefully pushes another desired prospect to them at 14.

Yes, it's in reach! Move up for Haliburton (then trade for Okongwu 8-)

He wont. If Haliburton hits then Ainge wouldn't get credit for being "smart". If he takes a project then he would

I assume you mean the bigs to ATL and NYK. Anybody else?

Wanted him, tbh.

Given that we can’t trade Hayward until tomorrow (since his consent is required by Robb) it’s hard to feel confident we’ll even be keeping anyone we pick until later a couple days pass.

Jalen is such a reach at 10

Wowwwwwwwww unreal. Thought he’d be there at 26. Move up for Haliburton please!

One of these guards is gonna have to ask harden some tricks in training camp for us

WOW-- PHX really DID go for Smith!

Oh **** I never expected Jalen Smith to be gone!

(Cmon Precious, though I know we’re going guard)
