Sources told Sporting News that the Celtics have expressed interest in Texas big man Mo Bamba, including interviewing him at the Chicago pre-draft combine two weeks ago

The Celtics were eliminated from the postseason just days ago, but they’ve established themselves as an up-and-coming group that figures to contend for a championship next season. The one hole in what is a mostly loaded roster, though, is in the middle.

And while there have been ample rumors in the past year about Boston chasing the likes of Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns, the answer could be slightly different: Texas center Mo Bamba, who is expected to be one of the top picks in this year’s draft.

They have the assets to move up in the draft. They really need an elite big man.

Trying to imagine what they trade for him, Bamba is probably off the board by Dallas at #5
Hayward and Brown on the trading block?

Mamba anchoring the middle with Kyrie/Hayward/tatum making buckets

It would have to take jaylen brown or Rozier/Sac 2019 pick

I'm not trading a top 5 pick in a good draft for either of those packages

Chill Boston no GM should take a Danny offer off gp

Cuban would take horford, brown, and the Sacramento pick. Maybe take celtics pick this year too

 

[Morethan1]

I think next years Memphis and clippers pick will be enough to be honest

They would have to give up way more than that to move up.

Smokescreen.

Celtics ain’t adding rookies to play big minutes with a team that’ll compete next year

Ainge is probably playing chess with these gms.
Gonna have a team reaching earlier for this guy on some “if ainge wants him, he must be great

Meanwhile the player he really wants will probably fall in his lap

They just did it THIS year

Might be a smokescreen but I doubt that has anything to do with it

they have two all-stars coming back

they were being led by obviously Horford but a rookie, a 2nd year guy, and a 3rd year backup PG for God's sake

They weren’t thinking about winning a title until August when they added Kyrie. They’re not in the same situation at all.
