Numerous reports and mocks say that the Celtics seek to draft Marshall, even to the point of trading for a higher pick to secure him.  Can someone explain this to me?  Point Guard is the one positon they DON’T need

[Cavaliers420Participant]

I think they’re expecting backup PG productivity from him, which makes sense since Bradley is more of a shooting guard then PG.

[Chilbert arenasParticipant]

 They love true point guards who are great passers but can’t shoot I guess.

on Doc’s last nerve. He’s always had a prickly personality.

[KHAM83Participant]

Maybe they like him as their future pg. it’s no secret that Ainge doesn’t truly believe in Rondo without the big 3. If they secure Marshall I think he’ll deal Rondo while his value is at an all time high. If something is done on draft night, I’ll bet Portland as they are enamored with Rondo. Say #6, Nolan Smith, Babbitt and future pick for Rondo. I know he’s maybe worth more but Ainge is about destructing and rebuilding instead of contending with an average team.

[WrecklessParticipant]

What does Rondo have to do to prove he is their franchise PG? The guys a baller.

[JordanC20Participant]

 I don’t trust any sources away from the top 3 in this draft…it always plays out different than expected.

[Chilbert arenasParticipant]

 It’s most likely smoke and mirrors, I’m not reading into it. 

[Sewok15Participant]

If they don’t resign Ray Allen and draft Marshall they go from a good shooting team to a bad one in a hurry. If they trade up they are going for a different player and that would most likely be Austin Rivers.

[PulseGlazerParticipant]

They won’t pick Marshall. Breathe.

[B-ball fanParticipant]

 Everyone overreacts to these rumors.  How many of the times Ainge has been rumored to be close to dealing Rondo has a deal actually gone through?  Maybe Rondo will never free himself from the trade rumors, but I doubt the Celtics actually trade Rondo in the foreseeable future.

[Meditated StatesParticipant]

I doubt Royce is either. Smoke and mirrors.

[bammaParticipant]

 He may have dropped but not that far I believe. Marshall is not a starting calibur pg, so even if the Celtics were to draft him he would be a back up. They have no back pg since Avery Bradley moved to starting SG.

[AKOOParticipant]

 I agree that Marshall is not a starting caliber PG and that these rumors are just stupid at this point, Thursday 7EST can’t get here quick enough. Tired of all outlets

[aamir543Participant]

They like Marshall because they’d rather have him backing up Rondo than Keyon Dooling.

[GoJOSH HUESTISParticipant]

Or maybe they are doing like most teams do every year and that would be putting out bad info
