Mike Conley Jr. goes to Memphis at #4, but the big news is the trade between Seattle and Boston for the #5 pick. There has been a lot of speculation about if the Celtics would try to make another run of it with a team built around Paul Pierce or if they would trade him and rebuild for good, and now we have our answer as the Celts make a huge move, trading the #5 pick and a couple players (I believe Delonte West and Wally Sczerbiak) for Ray Allen. Impressive.
Ray Allen is a great talent, but he is on the wrong side of 30. I think this definitely makes the Celtics better now, but I don't think it makes them well enough to get to the Finals. With the #5, Seattle takes Jeff Green from Georgetown, making that two top five picks for the Sonics.
