OMG we are being massacred in this poll  :'(



I still don't think it would have been such a massacre if you had worded your idea accurately in the title. 

Even I would have to vote yes to Kelly for the #8 straight up.  I think a lot of voters probably thought that's what they were voting on.

Otherwise,

Holy Cow Patties, Kelly is getting hammered by the faithful!!!

I really like KO, but I feel like his ceiling isn't a ton higher than the level he is already playing at. If that is the case it wouldn't be that difficult to replace his current production next year.

If we can replace KO's current production while bringing in a prospect with a high upside I think it a no brainer.

As to who I would pick at 8, Stanley Johnson is my guy. Then again one of the guys in the top two tiers of (Towns, Okafor, Russell, Mudiay, Winslow, Hezonja, Porzingis, WCS) will be available at 8.

Heck no.  Way too much in my opinion. 

I actually thought the original question was Kelly on his own for the number eight pick.  That one I would do, but not Kelly and our sixteen.

No way.

Yeah. I know that KO's been a little underwhelming for some people here, but he is clearly a quality NBA guy, rotation guy at worst like tolliver - if he hits his ceiling he can be poorish man's dirk. There are SO many draft picks 8 and below over the past 10 years who do not even get near that level.. This draft is [dang] solid, no doubt, unlikely, but WCS could be a total bust.. Sac will be thinking about this possibility ( i Hope)

I think Olynyk is a fine player but he is certainly replaceable with all of the picks that we have in the next few years.  I am all for consolidating middling assets for a better asset.  I would be thrilled if the Celtics were able to pull this off (Olynyk & #16 for #8).

So this is now three choices:

#16 + Olynyk + Sullinger
#8 + Sullinger
#5

Specific draft picks are hard to project value for but I think of the 3 options, I like #8 + Sullinger the best.
