I think, if nothing else, this is confirmation the Celtics probably would have just taken Jackson #1 if they couldn't have traded down

Now Celtics fans just have to trust that Danny Ainge is a good enough talent evaluator to buck the conventional wisdom regarding the tiers in this draft...

He's not a great talent evaluator, unfortunately. He like his scrappy d guys and sometimes it works out but sometimes it ends up with him offering 6 picks for Justise Winslow. I hope he's just being an rear end in a top hat and trolling everyone

Jah Okafor is the low-post Rudy Gay

lmao Boston. Danny Ainge's entire rep is based on him fleecing Billy King one time. Which is not that hard

I'm not sold on the current trade but his reputation also has to do with assembling a very good team out of thin air and winning the championship

I'd characterize him as more erratic than good or bad.

We also don't know what else is going to happen over the next ~month. If he can get both Hayward and Butler and they can get past LeBron to the Finals, then it's a good trade.

Yeah I don't know what to think about him really but my current thoughts are: if they were going to take Jackson anyway they might as well get another pick

I hope the Lakers draft Jackson and the Celtics feel obliged to take Ball. Lavar v. the boston's not racist at all media will be a treat. We'll probably have video of him kicking down Shaughnessy door within a month

They'll take either Tatum or Jackson

yeah, i went back and saw i misread it. i def think boston got fleeced since they gave up a #1 for a 0% chance of getting a future #1

I think they didn't because they wouldn't have chosen Fultz at 1 regardless

Presumably because Phoenix needs a PF in the worst way and wouldn't want Butler with Booker around

Don't you TALK about Grant Afseth that way. He's been there for me through thick and thin, one time he literally gave me the shirt off of his back when I ripped my own shirt. It was way bigger than my shirt. That's Grant.

annual reminder that Sam Amico's sources are jack poo poo and he's never scooped any of the reliable big names out there. Anyone might reasonably infer that Cleveland is fielding offers for Love because why not, but the odds of him scooping, say, Windhorst, on some Cavs news are nearly zero.

Kevin Love to Boston, I agree.
