Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[TurnUpTheHeat]

you cant assume the #1 pick is going to be better than either Laker but you can damn well guess. lol.

Just stop.
Then you cant assume the 1 will be better then the 24th or whatever.

Perhaps it was that he wasn't slated to start before he went on his crime spree in China.

lol @ crime spree in China

 

[Montalban]

lol @ crime spree in China

Its called hyperbole

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

It's going to be great tracking the #8 pick next season.

And it could end of being a great talent.
Obviously @WiggyRuss is stating opinion, but he presents it as fact.

I state it as the general consensus is that this draft is as loaded as any draft since 2003.

And that AT LEAST 5 guys, if not more- in this years draft would have went #1 last year.

Guys like Bamba, Jackson, Bagley, Doncic, Ayton and maybe Porter would all have likely went #1 last year.

guys like Ball, Fultz, Fox, Jackson are more in line with the rest of the guys like Sexton, Young, Bridges, Carter Jr., Bridges, etc.

if you COMBINED both drafts- obviously not correcting for hindsight (as Mitchell would go waaaaaaaaay up) and this is my educated guess

1. Ayton
2. Doncic
3. Jackson
4. Bagley
5. Bamba
6. Porter
7. Fultz
8. Young
9. Sexton
10. M. Bridges
11. Carter Jr.
12. Tatum (well depends on the team- Lakers obviously decided on ball over tatum but i believe the celtics would have taken tatum #1 - but you cant account for 2 teams different choices)
13. Ball
14. Jackson


I have no doubt those top 5 players would have been picked before anyone in last years draft. Porter if not for his injury issues, you could also guarantee.

Ball and Fultz etc. are a LOT LOT closer talent wise to guys like Sexton and Young then they are to guys like Ayton and Doncic or Jackson etc.

The Heats boy- that they really wanted- Markenen- is actually a guy i was really high on though he did slip to the Bulls at 7 i believe...

I state it as the general consensus is that this draft is as loaded as any draft since 2003.

Who is saying that? Everything I have read is that there are two guys that are considered Tier 1 guys, about 4 guys that are Tier 2 guys, and then a bunch of guys.

How in the WORLD could you possibly know any of this? Seems like you are basically saying that teams will draft bigs over point guards. Not much evidence to support that claim.

lol @ crime spree in China

I can kinda understand the Lakers giving him a workout as a courtesy.

Clippers gonna Clip.

But, the Warriors?

They don't need to do publicity stunts.

* side eyes Clippers *

So, I am completely baffled as to why they are working him out.

It's part of my charm.

A few days you stated that those same people, in essence, really had no clue.
You said the people the teams hire need to be and should be better informed and prepared.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

could you even imagine the platform that LeBron and the winning he would bring with it would give LaVar? lol...i shudder to think...it would be equal parts hilarious and pathetic.

Well in LeBron's case, LeBron is the one with an ego the size of the Grand Canyon

 

[LAD]

Yep.

She's off to High School next year...

Congrats to her!

Well, as bad as this bench has looked at times this season I can understand the need. But this kid? Oh goodness no. Just for the mere fact that his dad is a bonafide buffoon.

Side note: you've been missed around here the last few days.

Right, Lavar is humble and meek

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Right, Lavar is humble and meek

I never said that - I was just pointing out - that both have an ego the size of the Grand Canyon - Wiggy wanted to bash on Lonzo Ball, but his LeBron is not much better then Lavar in that regard - At least LeBron, however has the titles to justify his ego though

Those people didn't fit his narrative at the time.
