Austin Ainge:"I don’t think it's any secret that we have four picks & it probably wouldn’t be great for us to have four rookies on our team"

The comment about not having four rookies is undoubtedly true. A trade of some kind is likely to happen, but it doesn't necessarily mean the C's will attempt to move up in the draft. There's also the stash a player overseas option...
No surprise but Cs don't sound like they want to use all four of their draft picks. Will look into other options: pic.twitter.com/fKMmEn6VH9
