Depends on the draft capital, I guess. If it's just a first I'm not letting PP be a deal breaker. Championship windows are never as wide as they seem and Poeltl for Pritch immediately improves us.
I will say there's no one in Boston I trust more than Brad to not get hosed in a deal.

My bad, I was having a not so good day like today. This should have been in the Bruins thread when the Bruins wipe the ice with Philly players 6-0.
Again, sorry

It is a sad day. He was a good complementary player, and a good, not great, coach. Even though he did not seem all that athletic, he was a three and d type who hit the first three pointer in NBA history. He also once threw down a ferocious tomahawk dunk on Doctor J, believe it or not. Bird called him doc after that. Condolences to his friends and family.

Chris Ford, who won a ring with the Celtics as a player and two more while on coaching staff, dies at 74 - The Boston Globe
Ford spent 16 seasons with the Celtics as a player, assistant coach, and head coach, and was part of three NBA titles.

Former Celtics player and coach Chris Ford has died. The team announced the news Wednesday, releasing statements from Ford’s family as well as from the organization. He was 74.
“Chris was beloved by his family, friends, and teammates,” the statement from the Ford family read. “He had a great love for his family, the city of Boston, the fans, and the entire Celtics family. He always showed humility and respect for all those that were fortunate enough to be a part of his life.”
Ford played four seasons for the Celtics from 1979-82 and was a member of the 1981 championship team. In his first season with the team, he became the first player in NBA history to hit a 3-point shot.
He then served as an assistant coach from 1983-90, earning two more rings in 1984 and 1986.
In 1990, he became the 11th head coach in franchise history, leading former teammates Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish to multiple playoff appearances in the trio’s final days together. Ford went 222-188 in five seasons as head coach.
The first coach I truly remember, He was a great coach and did the best he could with the turmoil that surrounded the team in the early 90's. May he rest in peace.

I remember what a big deal it was that he had the first three pointer. From that moment on, it seemed like every kid at the boys club spent their waking hours trying to hit three pointers.Chris Ford, who won a ring with the Celtics as a player and two more while on coaching staff, dies at 74 - The Boston Globe

Once Bird made a bet he could hit a 3 pt bank shot during 1 game. He forgot about it until the last possession when the Celtics needed a 3 to win. He took and made a 3 pt bank shot for the game winner.
Always liked Chris Ford.
Surprise.

Maybe someone in the west can knock off the Warriors because Tatum currently has a thing against them

Worst game of Brown's career. He is playing like a mental midget, injury or no. Coaching, what there is of it, not good either.
