Celtics trade future picks Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder for Butler. if this is the case, then Blake Griffin makes more sense for this roster. Yes, there is more risk due to injury history, but Ainge is a gambler. If win now is the thought, then its Blake.

I would draft Tatum and keep him and use future picks for Butler.

But if we acquire Anthony Davis and LeBron James, we don't have to sign anyone!

I expect us to keep Crowder at all costs. He'll be our iggy off the bench.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Hahahahahah.

In terms of talent, Crowder's nowhere near Iggy. Iggy is sacrificing stats to play in GS, but don't let his drop in stats fool you into believing Crowder is capable of having his type of impact.
