/nba/ General: 5 Days Until The Draft EDITION

Who ready for /Lakers Dynasty/ here?


It's gonna do fun to watch Boston fuck up this offseason

>>76600255
If by "fuck up" you mean "build a contender" then yes they will do that this offseason.

>>76600365
Good luck losing to Lebron again in the East Semis

Also singe hasn't made a good draft pick since Rondo (Maybe Avery Bradley), which is why he makes trades most of the time

>be NBA prospect
>have glaring injury red flags
>get drafted by philly
>miss entire seasons with injuries

>be philly fan
>ignore said injuries
>claim they'll run the NBA in 5 years when in reality all their busts will retire from injuries

Ahahahahahahaaha Thank you based ainge

>>76600568
>>76600365
But to be fair, Ainge does a good job in the offseason putting a roster and pieces together

>>76600134
I approve.

Also my local WNBA is really really good, so I'm conflicted.

There's no way in fucking hell Boston ever approves this shitty deal. I think all this crap in the media is coming from the Philly side of the deal for some reason.

All you're seeing is Philly's offers; Boston's counter is not acceptable to them and they're trying to bring pressure via the media.

Philly ain't getting shit lmao, they have to leak trade talks because the Celtics aren't biting.

All garbage, all overrated simply because they are on the Lakers. I always find it fascinating how when the Lakers pick someone up, they instantly go to overrated status because Laker fans are braindead. Laker fans like to pretend roleplayer are stars. Then they leave the Lakers and all their buzz fades as real fans of real teams actually see what the players really were.

Why you Hatin? You're probably from east coast and don't watch these young lakers when they did ball up early and late this past year

>>76600746

You must not be aware of who Danny Ainge is.

If the Celtics do trade #1 pick for the 3rd, Lakers pick and the Sixers 2021 pick, it would be completely retarded. They have a playoff team right now. They need Fultz to lure in an elite player, not a bunch of shit picks to get the overrated Butler. The smart move would be to draft Fultz and wait for him to develop a bit then decide to trade him. You don't trade a talent like this for a Josh Jackson player. Also, the Lakers pick probably won't even be a top 5 pick because the Lakers will have more depth with Lonzo and no reason to tank this year. Fucking terrible move.

Ainge has lost his mind.

>>76601828
The draft is quite a ways away. Philly is going to get a good look at the best prospect in the draft, Ainge is going to play hardball, and Philly is going to cave at the last minute. Count on it.

Boston built a #1-seed ECF team with shitty picks and smart trades while simultaneously hoarding draft picks and young talent. Meanwhile, Philly has sucked every single year, and every draft pick they make is an injured bust who will never accomplish anything.

Yeah, and the Indiana Pacers had the #1 seed not so long ago. Look at where they're at now.

I don't give a shit what seed you are in the Leastern Conference, especially when you only win 53 games. That just means the conference was really pathetic.

Also, the Cavs curbstomped the Celtics only to get curbstomped by the Warriors. Celtics will never be able to build a team like the Warriors for the next four years. Not with an aging softy like Horford and an aging meme midget like Isaiah.

Enjoy your #1 seed. You are the new Indiana Pacers.

just accept it

You talked shit about Hinkie's war chest, but he's been gone 2 years and it keeps on giving.

Any young player averaging less than 20 ppg on a garbage team like the Timberwolves, Sixers, Lakers, Suns is trash. Sad how even with inflated garbage team stat they can't even reach this threshold.

>>76602158
You can call them whatever you want but the fact is that our team not only is vastly superior to yours RIGHT NOW, but the picks we're making are actually playing and contributing in big ways on the court. That's far more than anyone can say about philly.

Your process meme is a complete joke. Everyone thinks just because you took a few guys #1 that means the team is automatically going to be awesome. That couldn't be further from the truth.

>>76602100
Jaylen looks like another Tony Allen except with less defensive intensity. Celtics have another guy just like Tony Allen in Marcus Smart. So really, Jaylen will just be a trade in talents when Smart jumps ship because his talents are redundant in Boston.

Jaylen was a useless pick just like every other pick after Ingram and Simmons in 2016.

>Fultz is heading to Boston Sunday afternoon for a follow up workout, per sources.

Philly better be ready to break the bank or Ainge won't be picking up them phone calls after tomorrow lol.

>>76602821
Technically >we got IT for Keith Bogans and other bums. The only reason we got that pick is because we took on cap so the Cavs could get LeBron. How many teams have literally given up cap space for a guy that made All NBA second-team 2 seasons later?

>>76602877
>when Ainge has a shit eye for talent?
Yeah man, his eye for talent is so shit that he built a #1 seed ECF team with shitty picks and smart trades while simultaneously hoarding top draft picks and young talent.

Come off it.

>>76602882
Then Ainge goes ahead and drafts a bunch of guards who can't shoot.

Celtics do not have one(1) player on their team right now who can average 8 rebounds a game. That's pathetic.

FULTZ IS SHIT i didnt even want him jackson is our man i trust danny ainge

So it's pretty clear this trade won't go through until Philly is on the clock in the draft.

The Celtics will just pick Fultz, and force Philly's hand into a trade for him GIVEN that LA doesn't take Jackson instead.

The question has basically become how desperate will Philly be willing to go in a trade for Fultz.

>>76602759

He actually gets stuff about the Celtics wrong all the time.

He had them picking Dunn when they were on the clock last year.

He said they weren't signing Horford (5 minutes later he did).

If Ainge trades the pick, I think I'll switch back to the Warriors as my team desu

To be fair everyone was shocked when Danny picked Jaylen at #3 to the point the owner got booed.

Then he started demolishing Simmons and Bustgram during the summer league, then he dropped 20 on Lebum and had a solid 2nd half performance that would easily guarantee him a 1st team All-Rookie honors unless the press still has their hardon over Bustgram.

Jaylen still wasn't as impressive as Celtics fans are making him out to be. He averaged a wopping 6 ppg and his shot was still suspect.

He was without a doubt better than Ingpoop, but he wasn't as great as Celtics fans act like he was. They make the kid sound like Saric/Jamal Murray from last year.

>>76603158
Woj has no sources within the Celtics, but he has a very good one with the 76ers. That means all his information is based on what the 76ers tell him. That's why all this reporting is sketch, because it's only from one side and they can very well tell him whatever they want like "the deal is almost done" to put pressure on Boston. There's a reason Woj is never good at reporting on the Celtics.

>>76603508
tbqh with you Joe, the Celtics only ever have a few people in the media that you can actually trust.

One example is Steve Bulpett, who basically confirmed Woj and Marc Stein's reports the other day.

So I mean, they aren't completely just smoke. But Bulpett never mentioned what was a part of the trade, just that it was being discussed.

>>76603371
>He averaged a wopping 6 ppg
That's not horrible for someone who plays a little over 15 minutes per game as a rookie.

>>76603461
ahahahahahahahahahaha you poor lelker faggot. Smart > Randle
Brown > Bustgram

>>76603495
>>76603495
AHAHAHH got em

>>76603574
I supposed, but his shot was still way too shaky. He fixed a bit of it near the paint to the point he was making those consistently, but his 3 shooting still wasn't the greatest and he needs to fucking stop taking fade aways. Also, I wish he just drove more to get buckets (that aren't dunks). He has a big enough body for it.

And, his defensive switching is fucking terrible. Hopefully they clear that shit up soon, because he got destroyed whenever he had to switch on to someone defensively.

>>76603573
He said that they were discussing a trade, but that nothing that was certain. And that's normal, I'm sure the Celtics have discussed a trade with multiple teams, like they said they'd do, but the difference is that Philly leaked their talks. If you look at Boston media, they're not reporting what has been offered or that a deal is almost done.

>>76603720
No I agree, all the reports about it have been from the National side, which means it's probably coming more from Philly than it is Boston. I'm just saying, Bulpett didn't outright reject the report, which makes me believe it has some truth.

I guess the most comforting aspect from a Celtics POV in this, is that Ainge has all the control.

He can decide whether or not to trade the #1 (or Fultz after the fact). It comes down to Philly having to meet their demands, not the other way around. And I suppose that's why Philly is pushing Woj and Stein and them to pressure Boston into taking a deal prematurely.

I am 99% certain this trade won't happen until Philly is picking at #3 in the draft, when the pressure is greatest on them to make a decision on the trade given that Danny picked Fultz and the Lakers took Lonzo instead of Jackson.

>>76604378
Did you not see how bad we got fucked by the Cavs? We need to move IT now while he still has some value, move Smart to open up playing time and shots for Jaylen

If Ainge moves the #1 for Jackson, who can only play 2 and 3 right now (where Jaylen will be playing), he's a fuckin retard

Boston becomes an even emptier free agent ghost town, Hayward stays at Utah or moves to South Beach.

Horford becomes the primary scorer and he's basically an overpaid Lamar Odumb/Boris Diaw at this point of his career.

Not sure why are they overcomplicating shit, just take Fultz and go all out on recruiting top-tier free agents.

The Warriors didn't become a beast by overtrading their assets like some stock market jewboy, they just developed whomever they got and free agents came after.

>>76604613
At least we can rest easy that this deal is not going to fucking happen unless Philly gives a godfather offer

Ainge is not pulling the trigger for anything less than #3, LAL pick, SAC pick, PHI19.

You have the #1.
Which of these 2 would you take?

Who here bandwagoning whatever team LeBron is on until he retires and then bandwagoning the Sixers

why are niggas sleeping on Brad Stevens again?

He put in place in Boston a strong system that has proven capable of getting the team into the ECF and #1 seed with only 1 superstar and 1 decent big man. The idea that adding 2 more stars who buy into the Stevens system won't make Boston capable of contending, I think is pretty silly. They're right there with vastly inferior talent. Imagine when the talent on the team actually catches up to their record?

>>76603581
Randle is at starter level. Smart will always be a backup because his shot is broke. Lakers won that draft over the Celtics.

Ingram is better than Brown defensively and Ingram is much more versatile offensively. Brown doesn't know how to pass for shit. Ingram is a great passer.

Lakers won that draft too

D'aaron Fox is pretty dominant senpaitachi haven't seen that from fultz, i mean he's a little shifty fuck in the mid range but nothing like Ball or Fox, those guys make you feel their presence.

He doesn't want to go to Philly. By far the worst team to go to in the league, it's a team that will shatter your dreams and make you regret being a professional basketball player.

He's purposely missing.

You're not getting the BRK18.

If the WNBA put together their best 15 players and made a team that joined the NBA, and someone offered you a bet that if they go 0-82 you win 1 billion dollars, but if they win as much as one game you get brutally tortured.

Do you take the bet?

With the following stipulation
>The NBA players have to be playing their hardest, they can't let the WNBA team win one game a win just to be a good sport or anything like that
Yes. A WNBA all-star team would get blown out by a men's 16 and under team with ease.
