    its all scripted, draymond green was drafted with the 35th pick, kevin durant wears 35, the golden state warriors have a gematria of 35.

    That Celtics-Nets trade has to go down as one of the absolute worst in history.

    Boston should trade the pick if they can get any of the rumored 'stars' on the block.

    Although IT has one year left on his deal.

    How would ball make sense for boston?? Thomas needs the ball in his hands. They need another guy who can shoot.

    Glad the Celts got #1 but it's too bad the Lakers didn't lose their pick to the Sixers.

    If they don't make a trade, it's a no-brainer the Celts draft Markelle Fulz.

    Don't be shocked if the Lakers pass on Lonzo Ball.

    so i don't understand, if the lakers lost their pick this year, why were they not going to lose it next year (can't give up consecutive first rounders?), but now they will definitely lose it?

    and how lucky are the celtics. a random trade with brooklyn not only turns into brooklyn being horrible and giving them great picks, but actually into them being the worst team, and then the celtics still need 1/4 chance to win it and do? damn.

    Competing strongly with the Harden trade I think.

    Yeah, I think it is more likely they trade this pick for Butler or Paul George

    I don't think an unproven player helps more than either of those two would.

    I haven't seen a single second of Markelle Fultz play live. I don't care how bad the rest of his team was, how could they possibly go 9-22 (finishing the season with 13 straight losses) with the #1 overall NBA draft pick?

    Not even close. Both sides benefited from the harden trade on their own. Brooklyn has absolutely suffered with nothing show

    the lakers and celtics sure have been historically lucky when it comes to trades for future picks where the other team just absolutely plummets after the trade. i mean it's not that hard to not be the worst team in the league like brooklyn was. i mean it would have been a great trade if they got two 5th picks out of it, but a #1 and #3? come on. lakers and celitcs into the top, phoenix kicked to the curb? not going to help the conspiracies.

    had a feeling with magic there that things would break the lakers way. jim buss seems like he would've lost the pick.
