Here’s How Celtics Could Have Four First-Round Picks In 2019 NBA Draft

It looks like we’ll have three unless Memphis goes on a winning streak to end the season

Geez - I've been posting updates about this just about every week and I specifically answered that question from you on the last page of this thread. OK then - here's how they look as of today:

- Memphis ( currently sitting at # 6 ) top 8 protected in 2019, top 6 protected in 2020 and then unprotected in 2021
- Sacramento ( currently sitting at # 15 ) top 1 protected
- LA Clippers ( currently sitting at # 18 ) top 14 protected in 2019, top 14 protected in 2020 then becomes a 2022 2nd round pick
- Boston ( currently sitting at # 23 )

So if the regular season ended today Boston would have 3 1st round picks in the upcoming NBA Draft. The pick from Memphis would then roll over to the 2020 season where it would become top 6 protected.

IT 4 now IT 0 returns as Denver makes its appearance at the Garden; Hayward in concussion protocol and is doubtful

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

114-105 loss but IT got his video tribute the win solidifies Denver as the 2 seed behind GS

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Hayward still in concussion protocol will not play in Philadelphia tonight

Celtics are destroying Philly.

Up 14 with 3:25 left to go in the 2nd

 

[pgm16]

Great half, stupid foul by Smart though at the end there.

NBA players are so soft. An embarrassment when it comes to toughness.

 

[Newbie10]

The free throw difference is ridiculous.....

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Team will never win anything with Kyrie as their #1.

Woof

That's true. Kyrie is a top 10 player at best. Which is good, but not championship worthy. The east alone has 3 players ahead of Irving (Giannis, Kawhi, Embiid). Add in the west with Curry, Durant, George, Westbrook Harden, Jokic, Dame (on par).

The only way I am ok with giving Kyrie the max is if he comes with Davis (at this point I'd take him without assurances) or Durant. Otherwise you can let him walk and retool on the fly (no rebuild). The NBA is such a top heavy game where the superstars usually win. List since 96 is like: Jordan, Duncan, Shaq, Wade, Garnett, Kobe, Nowitzki, Lebron, Kawhi, Curry, Durant

With the exception of the 2004 Pistons and maybe Wade everyone else on that list was a true top 5 player (at that time). So it takes a huge amount of luck to win with a player like Kyrie, it basically does not happen (even Curry was somewhat lucky without Durant.)

Unfortunately our #1 does not match up with the other 1's as I stated above and our secondary stars don't match up well with other secondary stars. Tatum has not made a huge leap as hoped and Brown in general just isn't that good to begin with. And Hayward needs more time to recover. Al is still pretty good, though.

ALL IN FOR AD .NEED A BIGMAN IN THE MIDDLE WITH SKILL.All the great Celtic teams had that.

 

[SlimBrady]

Lol are you kidding? 36 points and 30 or more in 4 games in a row...Kyrie is doing everything to help this team win but noone else is!!

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

The 6ers abused Kyrie in the last 5 minutes. The with like a minute left he bricked a three, had a layup rejected, and gave up the dagger on the other end.

I was watching the game with the sound turned off. The way he went down I thought that big goof Embiid had been shot.

 

[KrejciMVP]

5 seed in the playoffs is looking like 1 and done for this group.
