At least if we do that we're not giving it up for one year of PG.

My guess would be trading Bradley 4 it.

Me thinks it's for Avery Bradley.

Gives Thibs his defensive perimeter guy and a proven leader in the locker room.

Bradley and future 1st (Memphis or Clippers) for 7.

Minnesota wouldn't give up the 7th pick for Bradley.

No way Bradley is enough. I just hope Boston is not trading down just to draft Smith.

If Dennis Smith is the only thing they come out with tonight will be beyond disappointing

This makes sense because Ian Beagly is reporting the Celtics believe they can obtain another lottery pick, which would then go with 3 in a package for KP. I hope this deal is Crowder and future 1sts for 7, because I don't want to lose Bradley, but I would assume AB would go in the KP deal, but regardless it seems as if there may be some big changes tonight.

I think if Danny finds value in moving (Bradley, Smart.....not so much IT) for a solid Rookie on a cheap deal it gives him more room to sign a max FA.   

Crazy times...  We are linked to so many teams due to all these picks.

ESPN is saying the celtics are looking to get another pick to send to the knicks along with the #3 and a player for Porzingas. 

Seems like a lot for kristaps.  Two lottery picks and a player
