Russilo is tapped into the league and has an in with alot of Gm's.
We're talking about for a star or young very good player like Butler. the Celtic roster alone doesn't have anyone that is near that level and the 3rd pick in a very weak draft doesn't hold a ton of value
The 17' nets draft pick is the only really intriguing Celtic asset
Look at Bradley's stats compared to butler and then notice butler plays like 6-8 minutes more per game
Remind yourself Avery Bradley was all defense 1st team and had the 3rd most first place votes in the league
It's not a significant difference between the two, butler is better but his stats are also inflated because he plays damn near 40 minutes per game
Teams like Bradley, Thomas, crowder, and smart... To a lesser extent, it's been documented that there is a trade market for Jordan Mickey and terry rozier plus we have a million picks
Problem is, Danny doesn't want to overpay, he's trying to find bargains so he low balls people
