Dennis Smith will work out for the Celtics on June 7.

I like Dennis Smith. I think he'll serve whoever he goes to (likely NYK, or a team around there) very well. Hopefully that knee injury of his was a one off.

he looked healthy last season...doesn't look like its going to be a problem

-According to Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum SportsNet, the Lakers will attend a Jackson workout in Sacramento on Thursday

-Danny Ainge after the Fultz workout...

But I still have other players to see, and I’m headed back to the west coast to watch some more workouts.”


Guessing Ainge will also go see Jacksons workout..

Danny with multiple picks... Usually brings in groups of players in for workouts

Very quiet so far

I think he's focusing on the top right now, and those guys are busier and harder to book. I would bet that in a week or so, he will start looking at groups of possible second rounders.

also, in the past weve had picks all over the board.

Last year we had 3, 16, 23 and like 5 second rounders, so it was feasible that we take everyone in the draft outside of Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram.

This year weve got #1 and then not another selection untill #37 so we  wont be able to get as many guys in here.

or maybe he already has a shortlist of (3-4 players) ...if any drop from the 1st round...he is going to pick the player at 37. For example Dozier, Bryant are two players he has shown interest

With the 53, 56 picks... I can see him try to move up from the 37th pick... (maybe one or 2 spots if lucky)... otherwise ...draft and stash route (or Nadel type deal, stash one year in the D league)

He could really stroke it.  I'd be happy with him at 56.

He might be there in the second and I want him.

A lot of upside there.
