The path to maintaining mediocrity - draft in the teens.

The Celtics are building something scary. They still have another Brooklyn pick coming next year.

Good trade, Mikhail Prokhorov. That was totally worth it.

Crazy thing is that the Nets-Celtics trade hasn't contributed that much to Boston's success. James Young is a bust. Jaylen Brown has been ok.
Now, Boston has the potential to turn that #1 pick into something good. Fultz or a veteran through trade.
You'd assume the Nets will be bad again next season. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Brook Lopez? Woohoo

I'm not convinced that Ainge will even attempt to trade that pick. It seems to me like he's trying to build a team that will be a power in roughly 2-3 years (as Lebron theoretically starts to decline) rather than a team trying to pounce on a window now.

Who is the best player this year? Is it Ball?

[The King]

Fultz. Maybe Jackson longterm.

I don't know if anyone in this draft is a franchise cornetstone.

[guitarjack87]

There is no lebron, but there are about 12 guys who will probably have good NBA careers.

[jaadam4]

Well I hope one of those 12 are drafted by Detroit.

[ghandi]

Probably 11 and Pistons pick 12th....

The NBA, as predictable as the ending of ... the hellish agony of pooping after eating jalapenos.

We can't skip to the 2016/2017 NBA Finals for the predictable GS vs Cleveland rematch?
The rest just seems like fluff.

As long as LeBron loses I don't care. It felt terrible last year watching Cleveland win it all.

[fontes91]

I know a very obnoxious GSW fan so I'm hoping Cleveland wins.

I could never root for an Ohio team...
