Mine is not taking Justin Anderson with our first pick.  I believe that could have givin us 4 potential starters in a couple years in 2 drafts.  I think Smart, Hunter, Anderson, and Mickey at the 4 could have been very attractive to a FA big in a couple years.

My biggest regret is not being a bit stronger and telling people not to be surprised if the Celtics draft a point guard when I posted this before the draft:

Don't be surprised if the Celtics trade #16 and #28 for a pick in the low 20s and a future first, but don't be surprised if the Celtics keep both firsts and use neither of them on a center.

Robin Lopez (I feel like he would've been a great fit with the C's) or Tobias Harris. Both would've been difference makers.

Have to agree with Lopez, solid defensive center and got signed for "small" money, at least by today's standards.. I think he would have been the smarter play over Amir, but time will tell.

Also agree with Tobias, and not fully convinced we couldn't have made a move for him. Orlando had no interest in signing the kid for 10 mill half way through last season, I think a decent package offered to them for a sign and trade would have made him ours. 
I personally thought they drafted Hezonja to move on from TH.

Michael Jordan being a jerk.


Seriously. I wanted Justise Winslow and that fraking Galoot turned down our draft picks to select a bigger Galoot in Frank Kaminsky.


I wanted Smart + Winslow so badly. It HURTS to see him on the heat.

My biggest regret was not signing this guy. I know we probably would not have been able to get amir johnson but this guys is just amazing when you watch this video.Everyone projected us to sign him or be the top team to sign him. Yet we didn't even talk to him. His name tobais harris. just go to this link and click the top video.

A lot of "I", "We" "Us" in there... Danny?!

Magic would not have let him slip away... The Celtics should win a decent amount more games than Orlando will, Tobias is good but I've come around to the moves Ainge made.
