The only thing about the trade I don't like is I don't know whether I want LA to bottom out or hang around 7-10.
Had they given up both the Sac first and the LAL first I wouldve said they overpaid.
They didnt.
If they hadnt put the protections on them I still would have felt the Sixers were clear winners just not as cleanly. They did.
The fact that all the assets have 1st overall protection means that the optimal value of those picks isnt even a possibility for Boston.
Add that to Ainge's terrible draft record and i'll take those odds in a heartbeat
Didnt draft Fultz for free but gave up a ton for Kyrie.
So much for Celtics fans theory that he didnt want to draft Fultz because he already had IT.
Color me confused.
They optimized salary for Irving and Hayward.....they netted Tatum and still have our pick and others. They gave up a lot but it was from a whole lot.
All I know is that this sucks for the Sixers in the East because the Cavs stay relevant and position themselves to remain relevant should LeBron split. Cetics will be an equal pain with all their proven all stars and future assets.
Eff me!

Yes that's the result we want but I'm talking about during the season. Should we root for LA to be the worst team in the league? If that happens, there's a 75% chance Boston is getting pick 2-4. Is that what we root for?Obvious answer is you want the Lakers to get #1 in 2018 and the Kings to get #1 in 2019. You also want the Sixers to make the playoffs in 2018-2019 so the Celtics get a non-lottery 1st round pick.

I'd take Kyrie over IT easily, but that's a lot to give up.
Kyrie is over rated as ****
Per Woj....trade may get nixed. Thomas' injury worse than Cavs thought or that little weasal Ainge let on. Thomas and Celts opted out of surgery but now looks like he needs it and might be out all season! Cavs might seek more in compensation but I hope they back out and stick it to the Celts. Would be great if the Celts passed on Fultz and are stuck with a short and injured point guard! Ainge is such a little *******...
