No.
Towns and Okafor are great. Please remember me talking about Towns way way back. but He's not worth all that. Both of them are unproven.
The most realistic and best option is for us to trade with MIA or INDY and get Myles Turner, and then draft Upshaw with the 16th pick.
Don't forget next year Brandon Ingram/Jaylen Brown/Ben Simmons are all coming out. My dark horse is Ingram. He has KD/Greek Freak length but is super quick and super young for his class.
I keep forgetting about Upshaw. That's a good point but again we are gambling. I like both Turner and Upshaw. There are a lot of options this draft as far as what we need so you could be right.
I think regardless its important for the c's to come out of this offseason with at least something they feel can be really good potentially going forward at teh center spot.
I dont think the C"s should just draft someone without a good feeling that player might actually be really good is what I'm saying. I also dont think they should trade everything for a player who isnt either.
I like turner and upshaw but as we get closer to the draft hopefully the celtics will have a better feel for who is what.
There is always Javale Mcgee too. We have picks in the future where we can gamble somewhat but the goal is to get someone who actually is very good ultimately. We don't we are in trouble or end up spinning our tires too much.
