Yep, yep, yep, yep, go Hess, Bo Hess, and now the end is near.

Belgar and Mass, 985, the Sports Hub.

All right, as promised, right back to the phones here with Chris Gasper from our Garden Studios.

Again, thanks to our friends at Star Market.

Brett in New Hampshire, what do you got, Brett?

Hey, guys, I think that the

Celtics should really keep this pick. Markle Foltz, Isaiah Thomas is too much of a, he sucks

a defense. He just can't guard anybody. You can't have that going deep into the playoffs with these

good guards. So you've got to trade Isaiah Thomas. You're looking for a big guy. Hamere Johnson

is not doing anything down low. Got to get a big guy like maybe Gobert, Prozingis, try to trade Isaiah for them. Okay, you're not going to get Prisengis for Isaiah. But, Chris, you are into balancing out the roster. They're two guard-heavy. They need some big guys. Yes. So you would be for trading the first overall pick for a big guy.

Would you be for trading Isaiah for a big guy?

Not that you're going to get Borsingas out of it. But again, the Jackie McMullen report. What do you think? Jimmy, would you play that sound? Will you play Jackie McMullen on with Bob Ryan? Please. Can Isaiah? Yeah, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Can Isaiah Thomas suck it up and go back to the bench and be the bench spark plug that people thought he was two years ago before we started throwing in all these points? Absolutely no way. You know that. So they'd have to get rid of them. There's just no way he can do that. And it almost seems unfair to ask him. Well, that's the problem. Listen, I can tell you this. I can tell you this.

Before the draft last year, last year, Danny was trying to get two picks, not just

Jalen Brown.

He was trying to get two picks.

He was on the phone with everybody from coast to coast, and he was offering everybody.

And that includes Marcus Smart and Isaiah Thomas and anything else they needed to get where

he wanted to go.

There was no untouchables on that team last year. Now, the only intouchable now, I would say, is Al Horford. And she went on about Al Horford there. But your thought on Isaiah Thomas and Danny H. Calling around about Isaiah Thomas last year? Yeah, that's interesting. I mean, I don't think it's, you know, surprising based on last year.

Obviously, he's played even better this year. There must have been somebody in the draft that they really, like, other than Jalen Brown, I would guess maybe like Jamal Murray was the name you heard. So that would have given them a little more shooting. Maybe that was somebody that they liked. Could it also have been part of a three-way? And also, remember now, the draft. Okay, so we're talking about the draft is before you have Horford.

Right.

So it's a little different situation. You don't have Horford at that point. But was the idea there, could it also have been a second lottery pick to trade for Jimmy Butler? And we have our eyes on Al Horford. And then at the end of the day, it's Jimmy Butler, it's Al Horford. And now maybe we get Durant because we have two of the three pieces. Yeah, that would make a lot of sense. I mean, Durant was somebody who obviously said he wanted to play with Horford. I think he's cool with Butler too. So maybe that was part of it. That makes a lot of sense. Who knows with Danny? I mean, Danny will explore anything.
