good god. Boston has 3 first round picks, 5 second round for total of 8 picks. They can draft a whole team.
I would be shocked if they aren't better next year, Ainge has been on a pretty big roll since he flipped KG and Pierce to Brooklyn and signed Stevens. No stars on that team, but lots of nice pieces and tons of picks this year and next, plus plenty of cap room and he's aquired all that while continuing to improve the team each year.
Can't wait to see how Philly ****s this up. Damn, Toronto and Boston both playoff teams, Toronto in ECF both get lottery picks.
Tough to really judge them against East competition. It's going to be an awesome finals no matter who they face in the west but I would have a hard time favoring them over either team.
If Thunder win I see finals going the same way it went for Lebron in his first title win against OKC. OKC was favored to beat the Heat in that finals
Last year Cleve. pushed GS to 6 games without Love and Irving. I scoffed at the notion of Lue as HC but he's got this team together especially the big 3.
This is the first Cavs game I've watched all year. Lebron got hair plugs, huh? No ******* say in hell that just grew back over the offseason.
Boston should trade the #3 and another first rounder for the first pick and get Simmons. Ingram is a couple years away from being able to play. Philly can get Buddy and another role player with the second 1st rounder.
Both Philly and LA are going to be bad for some time, no matter who they get in the draft. They are both teams full of young players and no experience.
I look at Ingram and Simmons and don't see difference makers in either one of them. Ingram will just get shoved around, and Simmons can't shoot. I want Hield to go to my T-Wolves. Hield is the surest bet of anyone to succeed in the NBA IMO. Awesome shooter that can take it to the rim too.

It's a two player draft, going to take a lot more than just another first rounder to get Philly to move down. Maybe something like Smart, Crowder and Brooklyn's pick next year would get Philly to do it.
Maybe even more than that. Last year the Celts reportedly offered the Hornets a package of up to six draft picks, four of which were potential first rounders. And that was just to move from #16 to #9.
And for a two player draft where even the top two guys are far from a sure thing, that's a steep price. If I'm Danny Ainge, I'm dong my homework on DeMarcus Cousins to see if he's worth the headache and trying to lowball the Kings. I don't know if Cousins is coachable at all, but if Brad Stevens can get through to him then he's an elite big man just going into his prime, and he's under contract through the 2018 season.
Cousins to the Celtics makes a lot of sense for both teams. Could jump start a rebuild in Sacramento and undo some of their mistakes in handing out draft picks in almost everytrade. Would give Boston the big time player they've been trying to get the last few years while accumulating all of these assets.
High risk-high reward for the Celts. Cousins has franchise player potential but if he doesn't connect with Stevens then it could easily blow up in their faces. Tough call for Ainge but at some point he's going to have to cash in all those assets he's sitting on.
