    OH Jeez. Porzingis fouls Gordon Hayward, up 3. On a 3pt shot.

    I was thinking the other day that Hayward is the perfect Stotts player..he'd thrive in Portland

    Who ever ends up playing the Warriors in the first round could end up being David vs Goliath.

    Who would you give up for Olynyk?

    Kaman?

    Seriously though, probably nothing that they would accept as a 1-for-1 transaction, but he would probably be a pretty good fit here. However, I haven't watched enough Celtic basketball to have a reasonable opinion.

    They're good, no doubt. Efficient. Good defensive metrics. Solid, unspectacular. I'm not sure if his ceiling is high enough to want to give up the potential of Vonleh or Meyers.

    Basically, I don't think we're at the stage where Olynyk is the right addition to our team...yet.

    Meh, he's a better prospect than both.

    Perhaps. He's certainly a more finished product than either at the moment. But what would it require for Boston to give him up, and how much better would he make the team at the moment? I imagine the acquisition cost would be too great to justify the incremental improvement at this stage in the team's development.

    No way I would give up Vonleh for Olynyk. I would probably do Meyers though.

    But is there any chance that Boston would take Leonard alone in exchange for Olynyk? Absolutely not.

    Simmons thinks Olynyk should make the AS team.
