This is Ainge we're talking about, he probably has Zach Collins as the number 1 on his draft board.

Tatum at 5 and Collins at 10 and he's good money :russ:

MJ frantically dialing Ainge to trade for Collins getting no response..then he realizes TJ Leaf is still on the board :mjgrin:

I was looking at this article about the Celtics big 3 coming together in one of these threads and found this

Behind the scenes: How Boston landed KG and formed Big 3

Though Ainge was still trying to salvage a deal for Garnett up to the eve of the draft, he was also looking elsewhere. A proposed three-team trade that would have sent Suns forward Shawn Marion to Boston and Garnett to Phoenix crumbled quickly, and another rumored deal for Marcus Camby of the Denver Nuggets didn't have legs either. As draft day approached it appeared as if Ainge might have to use that No. 5 pick after all. He had targeted Chinese forward Yi Jianlian, whom Ainge rated as the player with the most upside in this draft, but the last thing the Celtics needed was another phenom who was two or three years away.
