Am I the only one that thinks AB + #3 pick is a little too much Value for Butler? Chicago needs throw in a little something extra..

Not to curb anyone's enthusiasm, but you should fully expect this pick to end up in the 4-5 range.

smart, brk 3 or lower, dallas for Butler

I want to keep Bradley, he is the best defender in the league to try and defend Curry if we meet them in the finals in the next few years .

Koz is right; even with the 3rd position, there's a better than 50% chance the pick will fall in the 4-5 range.

Yeah, I also think Bradley is more of a keeper than Smart.  Has really developed a great stroke. Doubtful we will ever see that from Smart.

It's basically 50-50 between top 3 and 4-6. Don't understand the pessimism on this.

Koz is wrong. He said we should "fully expect" that pick in the 4-5 range.  I'm only half-expecting it.

I'd be happy to grab Butler, but I think he's a tad overrated.

I agree with trading Smart and keeping AB only if AB will except the 6th man role. If he excepts it then this team becomes special.

How about Nets pick if it's pick 4 or worse and the 2017 Nets pick and Mavs 2016. This way we can hold onto Smart.

I think Crowder's injury actually may have been a blessing in disguise as it took a little attention off of him and enhanced Bradley's value a bit (Portland and GSW, especially). I love what Bradley brings to this team, but would much rather hold on to Crowder.

Smart kind-of sucking lately also probably solidified the preference from other teams between Bradley and him.

I took "fully expect" to mean, "You should prepare yourselves for this happening."

Which is my philosophy also.  I'll start dreaming about how Brad Stevens builds a top 5 offense around Ben Simmons after the lottery, if that's how things shake out.

Otherwise, I'll be watching Buddy Hield and Jamal Murray highlights  8).

I'd say look at highlights for the top 1-5 prospects. Otherwise I think what he meant by fully expect is that it's an almost guarantee which I don't agree with.

I suspect a big part of it is the history of poor luck the Celts have with the lottery.


Personally, I'm not pessimistic, I just don't want to get my hopes up.  Trying to get stoked about the 4th or 5th pick helps with that.
