How has your team trusted the process during their tenure in the NBA?

>Lakers

West took a big gamble betting on an 18 year old Kobe, but he trusted the process enough to develop a future GOAT.

If only we didn't have fucking retards like Pitino and Carr who probably spooked him out of being picked by Boston. The same goes for Duncan who I believe went on record saying he would have refused to play for the Celtics and Pitino. Fucker even threw away Billups after 50 games into his rookie season.

Jackson is not coming to Boston. It's all an asset builder to get Butler without giving up their unprotected Nets pick next year that will feature actual elite level prospects 1 through 3.

Probably the 3rd pick and just the fucking Lakers pick in 18. A Lakers pick that will probably be top 20 protected XDDDDDD

And we'll have Danny sitting at the podium going all "shucks guys we saw a gud deel :D"

You had the guy at #1 and you went full retard. Jackson won't even work out for you because he most likely got a promise from the Lakers. So now you're stuck with Lonzo Ball and a fucking aids infested homeless man's Paul Pierce in Tatum. I don't even want to think about him taking Isaac to reeks of Aminu/Thaddeus Young.

Fuck.

As a Bulls fan I am begging Ainge to save us from this hell and take Butler out of this fiendish purgatory in Chicago

Then let us draft Ball with the #3 pick as penance

If Lakers don't draft Ball I'm not gonna be a fan anymore.

I'm pretty happy about getting in the top 5. If I can't draft Fox I get a potential 1st option scorer in Tatum or I get a great 2 way player in Josh Jackson. I'm not sure who's gonna be there in the 10th. I'm hoping to draft Markannen for the floor spacing. We'll see.

>>76611807

so if they dont fall within 1-3, they dont get the picks and the lakers and kings keep their picks right?

Was the best player in the Gonzaga/UNC championship game, except for all the foul trouble that plagued that game. Would have easily been top 10 or higher if he stayed another season and started.

>>76611872
No, Philly owns those picks outright. The former is from the big Dwight Howard trade (that somehow everybody got fucked over) and the latter from the Kings dumping contracts to sign fucking Rajon Rondo.

76ERS GOT ROBBED

>>76612009
Because, if the protections are high (such as top 3 protection), then if the Lakers or Kings are still shit when the lottery rolls around, Philly keeps those keeps. Even if they're used to go towards Chicago for Butler, Philly still owns them outright until the day of the lottery.

Fultz may well turn out to be a HoF but pathetic how a child can play 30 games for a college team that doesn't come close to competing for anything and you're ready to name him "their future" even though he plays same position as a guy on their roster who drops 50 on All Starts in the playoffs.

He won ROY because of high usage. Traded when value was highest and people found out he couldn't fix his jumper and the rest of his game was average at best. I was mad at first because I thought MCW would turn the corner. But I glossed over the fact that MCW never really bought into the Process.

Jackson, because of his short wingspan, would actually be best as a big 2guard, with another wing that can primarily take bigger SFs. Only decent defender with short arms is Jimmy Butler.

2 situations. #3 this year for #1 and EITHER Lakers pick if fallen outside protection (probable if Lakers turn the corner this year) OR Kings pick gets sent over. So, instead of 3 1sts, it's only 2. It's a matter if next year's class is better than 2019 (probable since 2018's top 3 is more readily available than 2019, which only has social media star Zion Williamson).

>>76612491

That Kings pick itself would not be much better, maybe 5 or 4.

So what happens if the Lakers pick is #2 for example, and the Kings pick is #1. The Celtics get fucked and have to take #2? Or is there a chance to swap picks?

damn this is confusing

2018 top is headlined by Deandre Ayton of Arizona, Michael Porter Jr. of Arizona (after decommitting from Washington Huskies after their shit coach got fired), and Mohammed Bamba of Texas. Ayton is a 2 way center with elite size and athleticism, including offense AND defense out to the 3 pt line. His biggest issue is effort.

Porter Jr. is your prototype SF. Great with the ball in his hands, playmaker, defender, can do it all at 6'10.

Bamba has some crazy ass wingspan (has been measured at 7'8 and 7'9) in addition to being 7' feet tall and an athletic freak.

Luka Doncic is a 6'7-8 guard with great passing and feel for the game.

2019's most famous prospect is Zion Williamson, a mainstay of social media highlight reels since he entered high school. There's another Antetekounpo sibling coming, Even more big men with 3pt shooting and athleticism.

The worst part is knowing Ainge trading the #3 pick for the Kings #5 and #10 is undoubtedly going to happen

Kings will probably have one more bad season but they have a lot of young talent. Fox will become a good 2 way point guard in 2 seasons, Buddy will be a good shooting guard, WCS will be a good Center, Skal will be a good stretch 4 then they'll get another top pick in 2018. By 2019 they'll be a much better team.

>give up a potential future superstar to draft another small forward even though you just drafted one last season and the 5th pick in a one man draft
J U S T

>this celtics damage control from delusional fans

HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>76612861
I mean it could happen, but it's super unlikely

If even one happened, then this is all moot, Ainge is a lucky bastard though and not a genius

This is reckless desu, I'm a little pissed he's fucking with our assets like it's a goddamn chess game

>>76612836
Right, I know of the headline prospects, but how do you think these draft classes will stack up to some of the more recent ones?

how did I do?

They went 8-17 after Cousins got traded retard.

Means they would have had 25 wins if they didn't have him the whole season.

Anybody else worried about what happens to the league if the Sixers become contenders, if everyone realizes that you just have to be utter shit for two years to become great?

I don't understand why the Celtics did this. Do they like Jackson that much or are they gambling it all on Zionism Williamson in 2019? Their whole roster is already filled with swingmen that can't shoot.

>>76612837
honestly, out of the top 5 picks maybe just two of them won't be busts. it might actually be better to have more picks than to rely on only one. there have been some great roleplayers drafter 9 and above and have made it in the league without any serious issues.

the top picks get more pressure and can burn out. the lower picks work harder at their game to be relevant in the league.

>>76612830
Kings pick is 2019, Lakers pick is 2018

>>76612830
Then Celtics only get the Lakers pick. Kings pick only gets traded if Lakers pick does NOT fall into the 2-5 range.

>>76612895
Top prospects next year are even better than this year because most of them have that 3pt shot already built in. After them is a crapshoot until this time next year.

>>76612873
Speaking of, if you are a team that wants to take a risk sometime after 16, Giles could recover to be a good defensive anchor.
