Spurs should trade his ass away.
Pau would do the Spurs a favor by opting out of his player option, but he's fully expected to opt in for next year.

So excited the Celtics might have landed another Marcus Smart
Two Smarts on one team? That's an embarrassment of riches.
Nah, game 1 was their chance and what happened sucks.

I hope they do make the undercut a flagrant this off-season. Undercuts happen all the time, intentionally or otherwise. GSW currently has the ire of everyone because unfortunately Kawhi got injured on an undercut. But ironically, GSW would probably benefit the most if those become flagrants. Steph being the most dangerous shooter with the quickest release in the league seems to get undercut more than anyone else. He complains, but no one gives a shit until someone actually gets hurt, as we have currently seen. Steph has learned to land awkwardly to avoid injury, because he gets undercut so often. Imagine how much more ridiculous he'll be with that rule change.

Fuck LMA, he's a big disappointment and yes, that was super dirty. But still, fuck the Warriors.Curious to see Spurs fans' hot take on this. Accident? Not the same thing? It's ok since Warriors did it first? Which is it going to be guys? ¯_(ツ_/¯

Do the Celtics need a point guard? I always thought Jackson would be a better fit for them due to having Jae Crowder at the 3.
The Celtics need superstars and Fultz is likely to be one. You don't draft for fit in the lottery you take BPA.

Celtics will have to trade one of their guards unless Crowder only wants to play at PF.

Aldridge for Drummond
Pop can help shape Drummond
Aldridge will be traded on draft day 👀

Honestly, the draft lottery went pretty well for a lot of team in terms of who they can get
Celtics - Fultz
Lakers - Ball
Sixers - Jackson (can go Monk here, but I see that happening only in a trade down, I like getting Jackson, a wing, here, playing RoCo at the 2. Also gives two defensive studs to cover any issues if Simmons will be guarding point guards)
Suns - Tatum/Jackson if available. Gives them a SF wing, adds to their talent pool at their non-center weakest spot (and Marquesse Chris's already demands alot of space to rim run)
Kings - Fox. Great fit next to their two, maybe three core pieces: Hield, an team leader type shooter with some ball handling ability, Skal, a jumpshooting stretch big, and WCS/maybe Papagiannis, their centers. I just generally want to see Fox + Hield, could be really great.
Magic - Monk. Or Dennis Smith Jr if they want to DRAFT FOR UPSIDE, AND DRAFT A PG. Don't put Aaron Gordon out of position for another season. But, nah, Monk.
Timberwolves - Isaac. Tall, lanky, 3 and plenty of D, and a power forward. Match made in heaven. That being said, Monk's ability to help their shooting word is huge, but they already have a SG logjam, putting Wiggins as their SF as is.
Knicks - Dennis Smith Jr. Upside, athletic, can hopefully benefit from someone tutelage or something. Can feed porzingis.
Mavericks - Frank Nktilina. Raw project, that is solid on D, international, and will be under Carlisle. He will do well.
Kings - plenty of bigs, probably go with Anuoby here, idk, I'm out
Celtics - Fultz
Lakers - Ball

...and trade IT.
It's obvious he's not going to be fucking fit if you have even the slightest clue about the nature of bad ankle sprains
The secret is his knees have been done and he's just been cruising off a strong midrange shot and size but he's pretty much the most unathletic inexplosive person on the court when he's out there even compared to Pau who's 36.

Nah, they just need to trade for and sign an extension with PG13, then sign Griffen, and Reddick or Gallinari. Zizac and Yaba off the bench... yeah, that would work....

Boston should trade the number one pick for LMA.
LMA + Horford > Duncan + Robinson
League would be wrecked.

Ok, if the Celtics push the cavs to 6 or 7, and I don't mean 6 like 4 blowouts and 2 close wins, MAYBE they trade for something like Butler + Lopez for their pick and Crowder

#1 pick
For
Butler, Lopez, Rondo, Portis, Mirotic
Bulls had their chance to let Jimmy go for #1 but they got greedy.

You miss what Derozan said after they got swept by the Cavs tho?
I wouldn't do that with this year's pick - that ship has sailed - but all gravy for next Brooklyn pick. Bradley gives you at least 70-80% of what Butler does, and he's amazingly a year younger.
I feel somewhat differently about George because of his different skill set, but then you're dealing with FA.
Really, I'm just excited about the Celts drafting and grooming an elite #1 prospect. We've had our share of good luck with Boston, but that situation is one I've never really seen as a fan of the team for my entire life.
I highly doubt that trade is available now. Bulls and Pacers didn't want to gamble - I understand why - but those same offers are not on the table anymore.
