I would be shocked to see the Celtics get the #4 pick. No way the Grizz will take #27 and give #4 just to dump the Parsons contract. That means that the Celtics would have to sweeten the pot both to Memphis AND to the team taking the Parson contract, which is not going to be cheap.

They would need to absolutely LOVE someone to give up the assets to get that done.

ATL could be an option.

Idk. I get trying to move up. The risk of stupid ping pong balls screwing the celtics over (AGAIN) is just maybe something they don't want to mess with.

the paddle gods have not been kind to boston.

How have the ping pong balls screwed the Celtics?

You got the No. 1 pick in the draft last year. You got your slotted pick the year before. Your only other lottery pick in the past 10 years was also a slotted pick.

They got a draft rigged for them for Ewing.

The NBA rigged the draft against the Celtics with Duncan.

I'm totally cool with moving up to avoid getting hosed an a pick in the 20s next year.

Yeah the NBA has always been covertly working to make the San Antonio Spurs be a dominant team. Makes total sense.

Kept them from moving.

Esp when they started with all the BS Robinson wasn't gonna be able to come back BS.

look at the nba parttern.

Jordan leaves - Bulls get #1 pick.

Cavs get #1 pick for local boy for destitute franchise

Lebron leaves CLE: CAvs get #1 pick

Pelicans get #1 pick after league owned team sold to new owner

some awesome "coincidences" in there.

one of those is an accident or random luck. That's a pattern.

You would think that with teams wanting to trade up at the chance of getting Doncic, the Kings FO could realize that people around the league know how good he is and that he should not be available at 3.

I'll believe it when I see it. Bulls are never aggressive under garpax. The one time they moved up in the last 20 yrs it was to save cap space and draft Doug McDermott :facepalm3:

He shouldn't even be allowed to think inside the box, but as the GM with the most important draft pick possibly in Kings history coming up he better not leave that box. And the Box only has one name in it, LUKA!
