They are doing the ping pong thing to determine the lottery picks tonight at 8.
The Celts have the third most chances at the #1 pick....thanks to Danny Ainge making that fabulous deal with Brooklyn a few years ago. They have the Nets pick...and the Nets stunk this year...a good thing for Boston.
The Celts also have picks 16 and 23 in the first round and a bunch of second round picks.
Due to that trade they can switch their own pick in 2017 for the Brooklyn pick if they so desire...and the Nets probably will stink again. In 2018 they again own the Nets #1 pick....will the Netsd stink one more time?
The Celts have a bunch of pretty good young players but no stars. With a bit of ping pong luck over the next few years they may well be ring contenders. They have close to a 50/50 shot at getting pick one or pick 2 tonight....
and apparently Simmons [LSU] and Ingram [Duke] are pretty much locks for those 2 picks.
Maybe some humongous trade coming up?
Coach Brad Stevens has made a super adjustment from Butler to the pros....somewhat a rarity there.
Can you say John Calipari?
As a long time Celt fan....going back to Cousy and Russell....hope things fall the right way tonight.
