With the draft coming up in a little less than a week, I thought I'd
look back at the Celtics draft air-balls since 1990. The main criteria

Obviously, if the draftee turned out to be garbage, but there...

Via a source, Mike Felger on CSN is
reporting that Danny Ainge offered up Kendrick Perkins and Bill Walker
to Memphis for the #2 pick in the draft. While I
