Hmm I think the Celtics will go BPA.

That is entirely subjective. They have OK players at every position, so yeah, I think they will go BPA on their board, but no idea who that is.

I voted RHJ since they lack size on the wings.

That's where I went as well. They have a bunch of ok guys in the front court... If this becomes their options I'll bet their not really happy about it.

Went Lyles but could be Portis as they need a PF.

Looney is bpa at this point.

Tough call. Celtics think they have something going with coach Stevens and their young players. But they have no stars and Ainge knows he's got to have stars to win.

Ainge is always active looking for opportunities, this year should be no different.

I read yesterday Boston is seeking a trade partner so they can move up for Willey Cauley.

I have a hunch that Ty Lawson or Russel Westbrook ends up being a Celtic on draft night.

Ainge usually takes players who are ready to contribute now, so that he can trade them later. That means the projects are off the board.

I say they draft RJ Hunter.

I have a hunch that Ty Lawson or Russel Westbrook ends up being a Celtic on draft night.

No way is Westbrook getting traded with KD's health in question and being a year away from possibly bolting for another team. Even if they did trade him, why would he go to the Celtics, for a bunch of picks? Might as well trade KD at the same time if they're doing that.

You are probably right, like I said it is just a hunch.

Ainge has lots of draft picks and a history of making the improbable happen.

OKC has to free up money to re-sign Kanter. Enes is their franchise player going forward.

I read a tweet from one of their beat writers that was beyond belief. He said they should draft Cameron Payne so that if Westbrook and Durrant leave that they can continue to compete in the west with a core of Enes Payne and Billy Donavon. THey have some strong kool-aid in OKC.

I love me some DA, but even he ain't that good. OKC would want another star, if they were crazy enough to trade RW. They've taken a lot of criticism over trading Harden, so I just don't see them dumping Westbrook. Danny Ainge will probably have to wait a year or two to pull off something big, if not longer.

I saw that or a different one adding Waiters to the list. That core will bring championships forever!

Yes, that was it. I couldn't remember the third player.


I just can't imagine RW being a happy camper. He dominated the league when durrant was out. When durrant comes back will there be enough spotlight in Oklahoma for the two to share?

Plus they have a rookie head coach. I just see changes on the horizon, Boston has assets and a history of making opportunities.
