    I know.

    TBH, I don't think we have enough assets overall to land Rondo. We aren't gonna trade LA.

    100% agree. I'll be shocked if they arent.

    Rondo might have been had at the beginning of the season, but he's playing too good. The Celtics are about to lose Garnett, Allen, and Pierce is a million years old. Rondo is the future of that team.

    You wouldn't trade the picks for Rondo but you would trade them to move up and get Beal or Kidd-Gilchrist? That makes no sense

    Pretty sure he was talking about Iggy who is 28.

    Iggy, Granger, etc.

    That would be a fucking disaster. Two lotto picks in a deep draft and a huge chunk of cap space in this new CBA era...

    Yeah, honestly I'd rather roll the dice on a couple of young guys and try to sign Dragic. If we were able to retain Batum, bring in Drummond and Lamb, and then sign Dragic, Hickson, and Freeland, I would consider that a VERY good offseason.

    Dragic/Smith
    Lamb/Matthews
    Batum/Babbitt
    Aldridge/Hickson
    Drummond/Freeland

    Robinson plays the exact same position as LMA, and can't move to center. Why move up to pick him?

    Oh I just saw the Rondo post before yours and thought that's what you were responding to. I agree that trading the picks for Iggy or Granger would be a mistake.

    Aldridge could move to center though.

    Yeah especially regarding the fact that Robinson will probably be a better rebounder than Aldridge. It would remind me of the Celtics starting front court size wise, except LA > KG and Robinson >>> Bass

    It'll be interesting to see how Robinson measures out. If he's around 6'10" with a 9'1"-ish reach I think LMA/Robinson could work.

    The more I read nbadraft.net, the more I'm convinced they don't know shit. They have Harrison Barnes going #2 to Charlotte. No way.

    Beal at #7, they instantly lose credibility.

    Draftexpress
    Swishscout

    These are the sites to go to.
