I don't like this plan at all for the Celtics


What exactly are they trying to do here? They shouldbe building their team for 2021, not 2018.
The Cavs are going no where. Its like laying siege to a castle, you have to let age wear down James.
He is a robot but it will happen sooner or later.


And so what if you draft another guard? Are you really going to pay Thomas entering his 30's 230 million over 5 years?
He is an amazing scorer but he is 5'8 and relies on athleticism. His future projections are not as a max level player.


I think Ainge is getting too smart for himself right now. Keep the pick, draft #1, let Fultz or whomever play off the bench for 24 minutes and in December off Thomas out there and see if anyone will overpay for him.
That would be the Belichick move.


Josh Jackson is an exciting prospect but some of his personal issues would put me off him.
People can and do grow out of them all the time, but the more you can eliminate as question marks the better.




Not that I think this makes the 76ers strong contenders.
I really like Embiid but there is a chance he plays less than 75 NBA games FOR HIS ENTIRE CARRER.
Simmons is intriguing but can he shoot beyond 8 feet?


I feel like the Celtics would have been better off going with the #1 pick and being patient.
