He hasn't done anything to have an opinion either way yet except for:

those numbers point to Dunn/Simmons being deadly in transition

Brown on status of Saric decision: "I know that it's soon." Called meeting in Turkey fantastic. Saric training with Croatian nat'l team now.
Brown on Simmons' position: "A four man that can switch" on PnR defense. Said initially, more like point forward in vein of Draymond Green

This is why keeping Nerlens makes sense. Love the idea of Dunn and Simmons sprinting court with Nerlens heading to the rim and Saric trailing. With hopefully a dude like Spike Crabbe sitting in the corner.

That article actually makes me prefer Hield instead of Dunn for our purposes. Now I'll dream of that fake Okafor to Phoenix for 4 and 13 trade and taking Hield and Baldwin. Is it Thursday yet

The Boston Celtics have been pursuing a number of established veterans in the buildup to Thursday's NBA draft, offering trade packages built around the No. 3 overall pick, according to league sources.
But sources told ESPN that the Celtics, to date, have been rebuffed in their efforts to assemble a sufficiently enticing deal to acquire any of these four prime targets: Chicago Bulls All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler, Utah Jazz guard Gordon Hayward and Milwaukee Bucks teammates Jabari Parker or Khris Middleton.
Who the Celtics like at No. 3, if they end up keeping the pick, has likewise emerged as one of the bigger mysteries of draft week, sources say.
The Bulls, sources say, continue to show little interest in dealing Butler to the Celtics, who previously tried to trade for him before the league's annual deadline in February.
Sources say the Celtics are one of just a number of teams trying to convince Utah to surrender Hayward -- Phoenix, which holds two lottery picks (No. 4 and 13) in Thursday's draft, is another -- but the Jazz have been telling interested teams that he is not available.
The same, sources say, goes for Parker and Middleton in Milwaukee, since the Bucks regard both of those young cornerstones, as well as Giannis Antetokounmpo, as untouchables.
The Philadelphia 76ers, sources say, have been trying for some time to convince the Celtics to part with the No. 3 pick in a deal headlined by Sixers big man Jahlil Okafor or teammate Nerlens Noel, but Boston, to date, has resisted those pitches.

Depending on how much teams love Jaylen Brown or Chriss, Hield or Dunn could be sitting in that Denver/Sac area at 7/8... something like Okafor to Denver might yield you 7 and something else
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

On the latest Vertical podcast (WITH WOJ) featuring the Draft Express guy as the guest, Woj (seemingly re-connected with Jerry's Boy) says that talks continue with the Hawks about Teague. Also seems to suggest Jerry's Boy is open to trading the Lakers pick and that team's value that highly because of the strength of next year's draft.
