Obviously the Celtics fans are elated with where this pick could be, but truth be told Laker fans knew we wouldn't have this pick no matter what. All we wanted as fans or could have wished for is the pick being played down out of the top 5 which it was at one point. It could still happen if they find some wins and while it's still a 1st rounder the pick not being top 5 will be a blow...because after Ayton,Porter,Bagley, Sexton, Young,Bamba, the draft is just good not great.chris4celts wrote:As a Cs fan, I am obviously happy to see this result when I woke up this morning. I am surprised however by the magnitude of the loss. The Lakers are not this bad. Ingram, Kuzma might turn out special. Clarkson and Randle can play. Not sold on Ball at all.
Have they given up on the coach? Defensive intensity must not be there.
As far as the pick goes, why does it matter if the Cs get it or someone else? It's gone. Sunk cost for Lakers' fans.

The thought of giving the Celtics Mason Bagley or Porter or Trae Young is crazy. and what they already have with Tatum and Brown is assuredly giving them a dynasty. what really is nuts is how The Celtics had Pierce Garnett and Allen and were done and the job Ainge did in the rebuild is remarkable. I have to admit I never saw it. but they were amazing in what they did with the trades they made.
unfortunately we weren't able to do that trading our young talent. and picks for players like Steve Nash. We really did all we could to win with Kobe getting him Nash and Howard well we all wanted Howard kind of funny. how he's looking great. hopefully Magic can take a page out of page in his rebuild and rebuild this thing right and we go on a big winning streak second half.
