​Per Keith Smith: "Celtics should be in range to use the $5M Taxpayer MLE after they trade Marcus Sasser to the Pistons and drop out of the #25 pick."

So Brad thinks he can sign an all-star with $5 million MLE?

I like GG Jackson at 31, swing for the fences if he flops no big deal

Celtics need depth

Who still on the board?

Or TJD

We entered tonight with 11 players signed and $7.3M of room below the 2nd apron. We get hard capped there if we use the $5M MLE. We would not have been able to do that and fill out the roster with vet mins if we stayed at #25 and paid that rookie scale deal. By paying #31 and a rookie minimum deal instead, we clear a good amount of the space needed for that.

It’s literally pinching pennies but it’s a hard cap. You can either use the MLE or you get nothing. Every dollar counts here.

Well just wait till the Wizards buy out CP3 and... oh wait *proceeds to cry in shattered dreams*

The Mad Hungarian is out there as well as Tristan and probably Isolde...

2nd round picks are the new top 3 picks. Believe me.

GG Jackson should be the pick at 31.

Brad is great at trades. Draft....not so much to me

And as Simmons seemed to indicate, they plan on using the TMLE...

GG
TJD
Miller

Can we hurry up and move onto the lighting round please
