It's LOTTO DAY!!!

[True Lakers Fan]

Yep. If Pierce and KG was still in their prime at that point then I would no question understand it

Brooklyn got swindled on that trade for Pierce and Garnett - lmao

Is pierce a hall of famer to you?

Is pierce a hall of famer to you?

Based on the NBA HOF standards then yeah

Option 1 - Steal Hayward

Option 2 - Try to trade for Butler.

Paul George all but confirmed he's going to the Lakers.

Danny is not trading for him unless he agrees to an extension.

I love that PG wants to come to LA. Perfect superstar we need.

I think Boston goes after Hayward.

stay the flock away from Ball!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats, Dude!

Fultz and Thomas already have a connection from Washington.

East Coast version of Lillard and CJ production is not a stretch.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm pounding Bud Lights.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Fun fact, if the Lakers didn't go on that end-of-season win streak, they would have lost the pick

 

[Rock Strongo]

Well... we got Crowder. And if Jaylon Brown fills out a little... he can easily play some 3.

C's biggest weaknesses are 1.) rebounding and 2.) lack of bonafide super-star

And another guy who can create his own shot consistently.

Crowder sucks imo. Hes not a shooter but thinks he is.

Is Bradley a FA?

 

[Rock Strongo]

I always thought you had some bias against him is all.

 

[Gman]

Do you see a scenario where they keep this Pick?

Obviously, if the cost is to high for a Butler/George you keep it.

But, Smart would likely be the odd man out, no?

You think Bradley having only 1 year left on a terrific deal might see him getting dealt?

Gotta think he's gonna want Olidipo money.

First of all: this is a great problem to have.

That being said: I'd say the most likely scenario is this pick gets packaged in a trade for a bonafide star.

^ It almost has to be the above. The C's not only have IT... not only have Smart... but they got a nice young PG in Rozier who looks like he has a role in this league.

If Ainge can't work a trade for a star... then Smart and/or Bradley gotta go. But does that scenario leave Boston much better? I mean: does adding a Fultz and losing a Bradley get them to the promised land? No. More likely they are worse in the near term.

I'd be surprised if they keep the pick.

 

[The Derski]

God I hope the Suns don't draft Tatum.

 

[jontaejones]

I would take one of the PGs if I were the Celts.

As great as a season as Thomas has had, he's a 5'9" guard at the end of the day. It will come back to hurt them.

Coming off the bench, he would be dynamite...

 

[Gman]

And another guy who can create his own shot consistently.

Yeah... I file that role under "lack of a bonafide star"

Crowder sucks imo. Hes not a shooter but thinks he is.

Nah... he doesn't suck. He's a solid, 3+D pro. A leader with toughness.

However, he is most definitely not a star and not a guy who is going to carry a team. If you judge him according to what he is not... of course he's gonna come up lacking.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They keep Smart and deal Bradley.....

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Ready for some real basketball....

Wnba?

I agree but you can't sit him after the postseason he's had.

Wnba?

SA vs GS.

I think Hayward signs with Boston this summer....
