Agents of top draft picks are keeping players from working out with the Celtics and Kings

[ISO]

aka nikkas who don't mater anyway

Y'all say this every year and every year these players never matter like @portcityplaya is saying

How don't they matter? Just about every year you have impact players in the late first round and second round.

I agree but I'm saying if they move the pick it shouldn't be for butler or George that's not gonna be a need if we can just get Hayward

They should be trying to find a rim protector rebounder with the pick that won't screw up the flow of our offense via trade

If the Celtics take Isaac first that is a fiasco He'a highest guy on the board who can do that and he is slotted around 8. They should either trade down or even better trade out.

Surprised the Magic aren't blackballed at this point

That's cause folks forget they exist

What dudes are you talking about? How many of those ttpe guys make any kind of impact in their rookie year or even their 2nd year? Rarely do they, maybe 1-2 dudes a year. They usually get drafted and stuck behind vets on the bench.

nba players especially rookies are going to have a hard time outplaying vets or better yet being respected more than productive vets. that viewpoint imo is very solid especially when you could go to a team like philly and help lead the franchise from day one. you also have many more opportunities of fukking up without facing consequences; its a no brainer, of where your client will have better chances at the 2nd max contract .

Harrison Barnes just got a max contract after shytting the bed in the Finals, as a role player. James Harden got a max contract after shytting the bed in the finals as a 6th man. Chandler Parsons just keeps getting paid . Getting a max deal isn't that hard. Them shyts get passed out like candy. How do you tell teams that your client is the franchise changer that can lead them into a new era out of one side of your mouth and then act in a way that demonstrates you don't think your client is capable of beating out solid NBA players?

You must really hate Marcus Smart, there are not many rookies who can come in and have an impact as great as his for Boston.

Would Marcus Smart go #1 in this draft? I'm not talking straight out of college. I'm talking if he was allowed to enter the draft right now.

you're not getting pt over Bradley and crowder off the rip

Bradley, Crowder, and Smart are really good players.

The standards for number 1 overall picks are this low now? We don't expect them to be able or even willing to compete with good players?

If you are drafting someone number 1 you expect them to be ready and able to compete with good NBA players and able to contribute to winning OFF THE RIP.

Boston is a contending team with a system and culture developed. Is Fultz going to be better than Bradley in year one to warrant starting over him out the gate? I.T. is a top 5 MVP candidate so obviously he won't start over him, at the 2, Bradley averaged 16 points and 6 boards on 46/39/73 splits and is an All-NBA level defender. It's actually huge to have him in the starting lineup because he covers up for I.T. on defense who is a liability. It's not bad for Fultz to come off the bench, him and Jaylen Brown are clearly going to be groomed to take over for Bradley and Crowder in like two seasons max.

Fultz is coming into a situation that is not typical for number one overall picks. Boston is a 50+ win team perhaps on the verge of an Eastern Conference Finals. It's like Kobe being drafted to the Lakers and having to wait behind Eddie Jones.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Depends on their confidence level in signing somebody (Hayward) in free agency

If they feel like they can get him (they probably have an idea of his interest level thru back channels with brad) then you want to use that pick to get another big next to Horford

If you guys get Hayward, I'd trade that player selected with the Boston pick and the '18 Nets pick for Goebert. Doing such moves wouldn't make the C's a huge juggernaut, but that depth and defense will give Boston a legit shot to win a title.

Why would you not want to be on a contender with a system and a culture? Isn't that exactly what a young player needs?

Coming off the bench is one thing. nikkas are talking about cats not even getting into the rotation and not even being competitive in regards to getting a spot or some clock. I don't see how that can entertain such a thought with a guy you are pushing as the top pick.

Not in the Celtics case they are competing for championships unless your fultz jj or Tatum there is a slim to none chance that you start for next year that's big for an number 1 ovr

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

nikkas need to start pulling a kobe and refuse to play for the team that drafted them if its not where they wanted

if lonzo ended up on the celtics that'd be tragic hopefully godfather lavar can scare them away

I hope he ends up playing for the bobcats or bucks.

Bigger than competing for chips? Bigger than having quality teammates that you actually have to beat out for a spot rather than having a guaranteed spot because your team ain't shyt?
