We will probably have to offer both

Brown

to beat other offers.

Pelicans are in amazing position in biding war imo

Grizz moving up was good for us after the Lakers jumped into the top 4. NOP getting #1 was good for us because it means there's nobody out there to trade #1 for AD.

Besides us hating the Lakers and they got a marginally better pick than they should have, this was a very good night for us.

Uh, the Knicks were tied with the highest odds for No. 1. Them getting No. 3 is fantastic for us and is close to worst-case scenario for them.

So, 2 things in my opinion..

1. If Kyrie leaves Boston (which every sports person says he is), AD is going to NY or LA. Both have top 4 picks.

2. While some say this may convince AD to stay, I feel the exact opposite. I think getting Zion makes NO more comfortable moving AD. They now have a replacement. They have a star to build around. Griffin is a smart dude. The best way to get Zion to grow and develop is to build a young team around him, and slowly build.

I know you’ll disagree with all of this, but time will tell. Just my takes.

You’ll have to forgive Celtics fans for talking about tonight’s draft lottery results on a Celtics forum which you disdain yet moderate?

Obviously lakers having a top 4 pick was huge for them but like I said before....they got Zion. Does number 4 trump Tatum? then most likely brown and multiple picks....I think and if I’m blind optimist then tell me but I think a Zion Tatum combo beats any Zion + laker young player combo and Ingram is an uncertainty

Why are we even trading for Davis at this point if Kyrie leaves? Sounds like a foregone conclusion he’s out.

It’s all about who New Orleans Values more. Tatum or #4

With Ingram having a blood clot. Theirs a chance his career could be done if it’s a recurring issue. So their current best assets value has plummeted.

When Davis is traded to the lakers you will i was right.

The NBA is really bad at conspiracies.

The draft order doesn’t prevent a trade for AD, it just increases the price now. Now Danny has to offer the farm. Lakers jumping up ruined everything. Oh well, life isn’t fair...

Lakers are in a great spot but Pels seem hell bent on not making a deal with them. Plus Ingram’s blood clots.

Please explain. Yes I moderate, however I am still a person who can post. I am just questioning the ledge jumpers of a lottery which the Celtics had no really good shot of a miracle. The fact that NY and LA didn't get the #1 is a win and nobody really wanted the Memphis pick this year. Not sure what to complain about.
