Essentially his premise is on the Clippers side they would avoid committing 5 years to Griffin vs. "2" to Melo and the Knicks would have a dynamic duo with Griffin/KP
the celtics are nothing but overachieving role players with 1 superstar who is playing out of his mind...
Celtics will never win a championship with the core they have, and ainge is a horrible drafter..
guarantee he trades for superstar..
cletics are damn lucky billy king is a moron
Hmmm Smart, Brown, Rozier, Bradley, *Rondo all picks on his watch ... but ok not to mention Zizic and Yabo (coming over next season)
and all role players...
hos championship was built on trades..
this team is good because of a trade and free afency..
his teams are not built through the draft..
you just named 7 pivks out of how many first rounders he has had?
2016 1 3 Jaylen Brown University of California, Berkeley
2016 1 16 Guerschon Yabusele Rouen Métropole Basket (France)
2016 1 23 Ante Žižić Cibona Zagreb (Croatia)
2015 1 16 Terry Rozier University of Louisville
2015 1 28 R. J. Hunter Georgia State University
2014 1 6 Marcus Smart Oklahoma State
2014 1 17 James Young University of Kentucky
2013 1 16 Lucas Nogueira CB Estudiantes (Spain)
2012 1 21 Jared Sullinger Ohio State University
2012 1 22 Fab Melo Syracuse University
2011 1 25 MarShon Brooks Providence College
2010 1 19 Avery Bradley University of Texas at Austin
2008 1 30 J. R. Giddens University of New Mexico
2007 1 5 Jeff Green Georgetown University
2006 1 7 Randy Foye Villanova University
2005 1 18 Gerald Green Gulf Shores Academy

2003 1 16 Troy Bell Boston College
*Nogueira becomes Kelly Olynk
*Foye becomes Telfair and Theo Ratcliff
Tony Allen, Al Jefferson, **Gerald Green
So again to say he has drafted poorly is not correct because you name 1 GM in the NBA that hit on all picks. He has only had 5 lottery picks if you count the UPCOMING draft ... so show me where he drafts bad
That is not a lot of picks ... to say he found role players in the area of the draft where you find role players means he has done his good in drafting.
Brown is his keeper lottery pick and this yr ... Fultz or Jackson ... (I know the #1 overall should be a superstar ... what about the kid Cleveland pick ... bust the draft is a gamble) so for a dude that only has actually kept 1 lottery pick Brown.... who is playing pretty good for rookie he gets a passing grade. If you want to penalize him for trading picks so be it ... but when you have a Paul Pierce on the last leg of his prime play and you got a chance to get 2 max players you go for it...small window chase for a ring ... we are not in that position as IT ages as Horford ages we'll have guys in place to take the reigns ... no need to panic just because your FO is in panic mode and is eyeing out plate does not mean we have to follow.
You know that there is going to be a lottery, right? Â
all i said was he iz better at making trades than he is drafting..
that is why i said he is going to trade for a superstar
no harm no foul ... I just think he gets a knock for drafting unfairly ... he has said he will not getting another trade that got the RA and KG and then flip them and the Coach the way he did ... he knows now it is convert to the SA format best you can .... He accessing the situation and adapts ... hence no trades even though he is a trader and gambler by nature

but which pick did he hit out of the park? absolutely zero, but he is not a good drafter, he builds through trades..
he drafts a bunch of role players..
avery bradley is probably his best pick
especially with thr lotto picks he had
That is not a lot of picks ... to say he found role players in the area of the draft where you find role players means he has done his good in drafting.

Good news for the Knicks.
we're going to have to learn to love him
Good news for the Knicks.
It's really not good news if the big piece we'd get for Melo is Austin Rivers. Why even bother then?
