If we us the 3rd overall pick I want Jonathan Isaac.
Disclaimer: This is biased offf nothing more than a gut feeeling. My gut without knowing anything about any of these kids says Isaac is the guy.
Disclaimer #2: If this happens and proves to be a huge success I will take every opportunity to claim I called it.
Disclaimer #3: If he proves to be a bust, remember I know nothing.

Isaac was the very first prospect brought in by the Celtics this offseason and according to an SBNation report, Isaac “won’t work out for teams picking after No. 4”. This is interesting considering Isaac is projected to be picked outside of the top five by the majority of draft experts.
One theory by Boston Sports fan Mike Lichtenstein, who appeared Monday on The Felger & Massarotti sports radio show, is that Ainge promised Isaac that the Celtics are going to move back in the draft and take him with the third selection. This would explain why Isaac has only worked out for two teams, twice with the Phoenix Suns who have the fourth pick and once with the Celtics.
Boston then brought in Fultz for a workout, although clearly they have no interest in him after trading the first overall pick to Philadelphia.
The player that most people believe the Celtics will select is Josh Jackson, although he has refused to work out for the Celtics. In my opinion, this rules him out as an option for Boston.
Making this trade with Philadelphia would be foolish if Boston expects to take Jackson anyway, as multiple reports have the Lakers showing interest to take him with the second overall pick.
Last season, Ainge spent the third overall pick on Jaylen Brown, even though he was projected to be a late top ten selection, showing that he has no problem getting his guy. I believe this year it will be a similar case.
Isaac to Boston seems inevitable.
There is a lot of speculation that the Celtics will draft Duke freshman Jayson Tatum, although his lack of defensive prowess and offensive efficiency make Isaac seem like a much better fit.

I'm good with either Tatum or Isaac
If Isaac tho we should trade back with Phoenix or Sacramento

Tatum doesn't really excite me for the fact he is a poor defender. Admittedly haven't seen much of Isaac before right now, but looks like a pretty good 2 way player. I like Josh Jackson, but know he is redundant with Jaylen, and I don't want to stunt his development after watching him at the end of the season/playoffs.
Isaac looks like he could play the 4 in smaller lineups and bring some rebounding and defense to the team, which is what we need.
Personally, I would have let IT walk and drafted Fultz, but since that isn't gonna happen now, I pass on JJ and Tatum and would be fine with taking a chance on Isaac or DSJ.

What does Sactown have to offer us though?

5th and 10th pick... if we got 10th pick we'd trade it
Or if desperate enough maybe wcs?
Also Phoenix wanting Isaac makes no sense they just drafted bender and chriss so they want either Tatum or Jackson
Kings aren't gonna trade up unless they're scared Phoenix will take Fox, which I don't think is likely

We should try and swindle them If Isaac is the guy we want. Pick the guy the Kings want at 3, then they give us the 5 and 10 pick, and maybe we can try to get their 1st next year.
