The Celtics can still get the #1 next year. Crazy.

The Lakers will definitely end up with Ball.


It will be interesting to see what the Celtics do. Fultz is plenty big enough to play with various players assuming he is still the clear top guys a few weeks from now.


I actually think they would go Josh Jackson at 1 if they stay there. They need an upgrade on the wing and he's right there in contention for the top prospect in the draft.

I hope he's available, but I can't see all of Phoenix, Sacramento and Orlando passing on him.

there's a chance of an early run on point guards after Fultz and Ball I could see Fox and Smith Jr going to 2 of these 3 teams and just hope the other team falls in love with Tatum, that PG from France, Monk etc

I'm resigned to Markkanen, but whether it's him, Isaac, whoever. If they have a meaningful role next year, the Wolves failed in some capacity this offseason.

In a 9 man rotation, our draft pick better not be one of them.

Phoenix doesn't need a point guard. Sacramento needs both a point guard and a wing since Rudy didn't resign (please take a guard)! Orlando is supposedly ok with Elfrid Payton, but I don't see him as ever being an above average point guard, so who knows.

Tatum to Phoenix
Fox to Sacremento I think he fits well with Hield
Smith Jr to Orlando as I think he can play alongside Payton

What the Celtics really need is a dynamic big. They clearly like Jalen Brown and they have Crowder and Bradley.

It would have been nice to have stayed at 6 because then we would have been ahead of Orlando the Knicks and the Kings (with their 2nd first round pick) and those teams maybe fall in love with a player and trade up offers could get interesting.
