>implying Adam Silver will let the Celtics end up with the first overall pick

Watch the ping pong balls fuck the Celtics at 3rd or 4th and some other garbage team like LA, Phoenix, New York or even Philly get 1st.

>plenty of cap room to sign a superstar
So does other teams, the Celtics are in deep pockets since their old Big 3 retired and they only got a washed up Al Horford to show for it.

Horford signed with Boston because they were the frontrunners to land Durant, until he took that $80 mil pay cut to sign with the Millennial Meme Dream Team.

Bulls in 6.

Regular season doesn't matter
It's literally just for deciding playoff positions
This isn't football

This is a good point. David Stern killed Len Bias and Reggie Lewis with tainted cocaine and it's doubtful Silver is any different.

Tell that to teams who play Game 7 on the road..

Bostonfags are more delusional than I thought.

Cavs did it and they won anyway
If you're not good enough to win on the road then you shouldn't be champ

Luckily for the rest of the world, the status of
champion is given to people who win championship contests and not awarded to who you feel deserves it.

Ah, I see you only started watching basketball in 2016. I had no idea, otherwise I wouldn't bother replying to you in the first place.

Tell me then, if a team losses 4 regular season games to a team then sweeps them in the finals, which is the better team?

>>75223866
>first pick

Yeah that's not how it works. Celts have a 25% chance for number one overall, with a 65% chance to stay in the top three. At the very worst case scenario they'll pick fourth

I can't wait for the Bulls and Butler to dad dick Bawwston and that little midget faggot they call a """"""superstar"""""""""

>>75224337
They literally were though, Isaiah Thomas was recruiting him.

>>75223891
You have to consider another option too: it could be very well in the interest of the NBA to make the eastern conference stronger and create a bigger concurence to the Cavs, and therefore giving the Celtics an opportunity to reinforce themselves, especially as Boston is certainly a much more interresting market for the league.

Only the Spurdoras could have gotten Durant over the Warriors
