Nope

Celtics would have gotten the Lakers pick if it fell 2-5 - you know this.  And your clover-assed brethren counted on it.

heh

[kiidcarter8]

How many ways do you insist on compounding your inability to admit a mistake about Tatum v Fultz and Balll?

I made a mistake?

I had Ball as best player in the draft.  Never said who I thought was after that.

Wrong again kid.

Ainge is not a fortune teller, but he had a good idea the Lakers would be a lottery team, but he could not foretell the Lakers hitting the 2-5 lottery window (what was it the 9?) so he got King '19 pick as insurance.  A smart move.

And being stocked with both players that go 9+ deep and with several #1 lottery picks as assets, last years Laker pick could easily be deferred (and prefered) to be pushed a year out the future. 

if I have one criticism of the Ainge trade with Philly, and I had it at the time, its the #1 protection he gave Philly in both years.

The Celts gave up a #1 pick, IMO Philly should have been at risk one of those years.

But I assume he figured Tatum plus a #1 was too good to pass for Fultz under any condition.

I haven't bought a poster since my college days, but Jaylen jamming on Embiid is must have.

I love Jaylen, but he didn't jam. He was blocked, mostly, and the ball banked in. Everyone is freaking out over a spectacular miss.

Again, I love Jaylen.

Kid as you were pumping Ball as ROY 1) you seemed blissfully unaware of Simmons, Tatum and other rookies who were outplaying your boy, 2) while you were carrying on your 1-kid PR campaign for Lonzo you seemed equally unaware that he was hurt and missed about 20 games mid-season, all but taking him out of the running for an award he was not going to win any way, 3) and while you were needlessly pumping up Ball, for reasons known only to you, you took obvious delight in trashing Tatum as he was putting together a pretty good rookie year, which now you have seem to have forgotten.

So yes, I would say you made a few mistakes in judgement.

I l.ove Jaylen, but he didn't jam. He was blocked, mostly, and the ball banked in. Everyone is freaking out over a spectacular miss.

Again, I love Jaylen.

"Jam" seemed to capture the essence of the move and Jaylen's attack to the rim and going straight at Embiid.

And in real time it happened so quick, I couldn't tell what really happened until I saw the replay.

lets call it poetic license

[kiidcarter8]

I don't throw this word around at all, but you fucking LIE, banks.

With LA at 11-27 and for some time after, worst record in the league, there was all kinds of talk in Celticland about getting that high lottery pick in 2018.

Could still be a pretty good player they get via Kings/Sixers in 2019 - we'll see

And even if it is not, even if it is a total MISS, you are in pretty decent shape.

DECENT suits you.  Maybe when it falls short you can buy another title.

[kiidcarter8]

Celts are the Yanks of hoops

The "once-was"

1 title in 32 years

[bankshot1]

Seems I struck a nerve with kid.

Sure if the Lakers hit the 2-5 lottery window there would have been a 2-5 pick for the Celts, but it was hardly a lock to happen.

So as that probability was unknown and uncertain at best, Ainge also got an insurance policy.

Kid the only lie here are those you endlessly spin about what you've posted and you're inability to own your own words.

Its what a poorly socialized immature kid would do.

And 1-in 32 is a taunt?

Ok

LOL

Reminder to all

League Pass is FREE this week.

Wanna see TWolves

Heh - wouldnt surprise me if they beat Spurs and run out 5-1 or so.

Thanks.

The Ringer and Zach Lowe himself have predicted Kevin Durant to the Knicks next summer.

If the Knicks add RJ, Reddish, Zion, or Little, I could see it happening. Would need to move either Courtly or THJr to make space, mind you.

That would, uh, be pretty good.

[Nagel]

KD to NY makes sense if he wants his own team.

GS is Curry's team despite KD being the second best player on the planet.

KD in Ny has a similar feel as lebron in LA.

If KP comes back and is healthy that would give NY a dynamic 1-2 combination.

adding a top draft pick after this year won't hurt either.

i think it is a possibility. 

[kiidcarter8]

Instant 50+ wins

Is it 58-60-62 and a top seed?
Is it an NBA finalist?

That would depend on the other pieces and the staff.
