Would you trade #11 for Bostons 21 & 22 picks?

[Fez Hammersticks]

You can take a number of guys in that area that are vastly better prospects. You have to swing for the fences instead of taking guys you think could eventually contribute off the bench.

Being in the #9/12 range you're going to have a chance at a slipper.

Another angle: if you really wanted that #2 pick the #6/#11 will get it done -- #6/21/22 wont.

 

[MickZagger]

Looking at the list of players I think it's pretty obvious. Do you think Nicholson has the potential of a Faried, at least in terms of impact? His severe lack of lateral quickness tells me he wont. I could be wrong, but I rarely am.

LoL, you rarely are?

There's not a player in the draft you haven't said you like. So the odds are pretty good. You should blog.

Fucking sue me if I like Beal, Robinson, Barnes, Marshall and MKG. I focus on players that we have a chance on, whether they slip or have to trade up for, that have a chance to be major impact players.

You're setting the bar pretty damn low with your lust of Nicholson.

Again, name a player that realistically could slip to 11 that would be better than two pics in the early twenties

....and Waiters, you liked Lillard for a week, Drummond, PJIII, T Jones. You've at some point said you wanted every player in the lottery.

I think there's a couple guys late in the 1st that can be difference makers. Nicholson, White and Wroten.

 

[RedHotRollin]

No.

Do you have to act like you know everything and are the greatest scout ever? It's quite annoying.

I think there might be a shocker on draft night. There always seems to be one guy who slips and if we have the 11th we could be in a good position to pick up someone that wouldn't normally be there.

A SG will be there at 11 that won't be there at 20. Rivers, Ross, or Waiters.

And don't forget about Lamb. He is dropping but he is still pretty good.

 

[bigbailes]

i agree that you would only do this deal on draft night but i don't think the difference in talent by dropping back 10 spots in THIS draft is all that much. most of the time i would never consider this kind of trade, but this is a DEEP draft, not a top heavy draft as already mentioned. I don't think zeller, sullinger, or waiters are all that much better prospects then wroten or white.

Big P (Bedford)

Would packaging 21 & 22 be enough to get the Celtics in the late lottery?

Chad Ford (1:56 PM)

Don't think so

Game. Set. Match.

[/KingSpeed]

 

[Blaze01]

The answer is no....

Why would you do that when all indications are that you may be able to buy\acquire a pick in the 20's for cash, a player, both 2nd rounders, future draft pick or some combination of those?

 

[bigbailes]

Game. Set. Match.

[/KingSpeed]

the fact you quote KS makes me feel that much better about disregarding your opinions on many of these matters. I'm not saying they should do it but if you really want a crack at more talent, then this is the draft where a move like trading down for back to back picks makes sense.

and we all know chad ford has never been wrong about any of this stuff!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ok perfect, Pinwheel, thanks.

So the question would be.........

Is Rivers. Ross, Soup Juggler or Lamb a surer bet than two of guys like Harkless, Miller, Moultrie, Nicholson, Teague, Fournier, Taylor, Wrotten or maybe even possibly PJ III? I think if you tiered them out, the answer would be no. I would certainly rather have Ross than any of the players I listed, but assuming Ross was BPA at #11, and after draft workouts and whatnot, most mocks had the players I listed available at 21/22 I would take Harkless and PJIII instead. Just more bang for the buck

So because Chad Ford, who most everyone here bashes as an idiot, says it, it must be true?

 

[Nikolokolus]

I voted no, but only because I don't think the trade adds up from a value perspective. If it were a mid-teens pick paired with one in the twenties then I'd have no problem trading back.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I should qualify my answer with "Unless someone you have tiered very high that slips to #11" I would make the trade. Like if the Blazers are really high on Barnes, or whatever and he slips to #11 for whatever reason

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It totally depends who's available. I'd take a player I liked at 11, then if two players I liked more as a combination were still available at 21 and 22, do it then. Of course, the player WE like at 11 has to be the same player Boston likes at 11. But the difference of TEN picks between them is quite a lot.

I'd trade 11 for 14 and 16, for sure. And then I'd trade 16 for 21 and 22.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Look at the players DX has projected in its mock draft:
21. Moe Harkless
22. Fab Melo
23. Royce White
24. Andrew Nicholson
25. Marcus Teague
26. Evan Fournier
27. Jeff Taylor
28. Draymond Green
29. Tyshawn Taylor
30. Tony Wroten

Pretty tempting to get two of them, isn't it? It's hard to pick just two...

Interesting idea there.

What about Boston trades 21 and 22 for 14.
We trade 11 for 16 and 22.
Houston trades 14 and 16 for 11 and 21.

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Simply NO for me. I prefer this team add quality rather than just quantity.

I hope they add a scorer and a rebounder. A star in the making is what will take us past the 1st round of postseason. Otherwise, why bother?

 

[e_blazer]

No. We have two second rounders and I suspect that it would be possible to trade up using those picks and cash to get into the late first round. The 11th pick is too valuable.
