Los Angeles gets the 2nd pick. Boston won't take Ball. Kornheiser said this would be the 3rd fix after Ewing to NY and Lebron to Cleveland

    I hope Markelle keeps his nose clean, because the last time the Celtics swindled their way into the lottery and took a guy from the DC area...

    Boston will take Fultz and let Smart or Bradley leave after next year. IT and Fultz will be an unstoppable backcourt.

    The Nets trade for KG and Paul Pierce has to be one of the worst trades of all time.
    Wouldn't be shocked to see them trade either in the offseason. Smart is not going to be a good role player if he isn't getting tons of minutes. I could easily see him traded for another big man.

    I could see Boston dealing the pick for Jimmy Butler. I hope they keep it though, IT and Fultz would be a lot of fun together.

    Jimmy Butler and Paul George are on my All Who Gives a Fuck team.

    I have a hunch Butler is a cancer. Boston has room for a max player this year. IT is not a free agent until next year.

    I wouldn't mess with IT as the alpha dog for the franchise. It's somewhat corny, but I do believe he sets a great tone for the franchise.

    Gordon Hayward is a natural fit l, especially with Brad Stevens. Blake Griffin would be a risk, but is probably worth a gamble if Hayward stays in Utah.

    Side note: Not that he hasn't had a few blunders, but Danny Ainge has been a great GM.

    Traded for Garnett. Got a nice piece in Jae Crowder in the Rondo trade. Got IT for almost nothing. Now the #1 pick from the Nets for Pierce and Garnett. They got Jaylen Brown (#3 pick last year) from the same trade.

    I'm a Paul George fan. He's a very good player that teams should try and get in a trade. You know he's leaving Indiana once he's a free agent.

    I'm not as big on Butler. Coincidence or not, the Bulls slipped when he became their lead guy.

    I don't think Boston deals the pick ... I do think that they go after Hayward as a free agent ... it's the right fit on that team.

    Smart's tremendously valuable for them but I don't see the fit with him if they have Fultz, IT, and Bradley. I'm not choosing Smart over Bradley.
