Sacramento and Boston discussing a trade sending Ben McLemore to Celtics for the 6th pick, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

That is a horrible trade from Boston if that's the entire deal

 

[BigGoalBrad]

I take Vonleh.

Him and Sully can do work. Nothing wrong with Smart here either.

adios rajono

 

[JRull86]

If they take Smart, do you flip Rondo?

I like Smart in a rotation with Rondo and AB.

But if we keep Rondo we better win or else hes leaving as a free agent. Tonight we have to trade him or risk him walking.

Might be able to literally trade him for Smart in a couple picks if hes around at 8.

 

[DKH]

bye bye Rondo

What are we going to win with this team exactly?

Just trade Rondo for more picks.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

I like this its tough to get a big skilled guard.

Safe pick hes going to have a long career. Might not be a star.


Rondo will love playing with him and AB pressuring the ball on D.


Vonleh and Randle are good but there was bust potential.

 

[Shaun]

could this pick be for the timberwolves?

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

Oh, and if and when we get good, other teams are gonna hate Smart.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Rondo lands in Toronto

Rondo lands in Toronto

For real?

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Smart is the only guard who is ready right now. Wiggins and the rest of the lottery ones are far more raw. Too early to tell if his offense and shot evolve but the ceiling is as high as anyone's because he isn't undersized. Him and Bradley are 2 great defenders too!

 

[KrejciMVP]

I like the pick. 2 more years of tanking and we will be back!

 

[Man Rocket]

Lol why does that mean bye Rondo? Smart plays both guard spots

 

[Fire Sweeney]

For real?

just speculating

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

But neither shoots. Find me a good backcourt that has no shooters. Not to mention, we should trade Rondo even if we took Randle.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Rondo Smart AB

Green Bass Sully Kelly


Thats our main 7 guys and core of the team right now. Its OK.

How is that team OK? Our core should be

Smart [future draft pick] [future draft pick]

[future draft pick] [future draft pick] [future draft pick] [future draft pick]

 

[MAINE-IAC]

I just wish he had a better outside shot. I mean, how many guards do we have that can't shoot from the outside?

 

[JRull86]

If they keep Smart and rondo, that's a backcourt that can't shoot well

 

[Mione134]

I still think Love is coming here. It makes too much sense.


We shall see though~

 

[Man Rocket]

That makes sense, I'm more of a hockey guy I'm just a casual Celtics observer

 

[Alicat]

Who wore it better: Andrew Wiggins or Steve Martin?

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Why is my favorite player MCW being interviewed after a traded pick was taken? Cmon ESPN bush league making him answer questions right there.

I hope we get Young. There's the shooter.
