Ainge, Wyc and whoever can preach all they want about how its championships or busts in Boston but in reality it's solely about putting a respectable product on the floor each night.
The team has sold more season ticket memberships for this upcoming season then they had towards the end of the big 3 era. Prices increased (unjustifiably IMO) for current STM's during their renewal period which occurs during the last quarter of the regular season.
These are salesmen people and we're their clients. A team with Griffin or Boogie sells out the garden every night, a team with a 2018 Nets pick does not. Wyc knows this team needs to strike while the iron is hot, and the popularity of the NBA is absolutely astonishing right now.
As a fan I'd hope we hold onto the picks, we have no chance of winning even with Blake or Boogie, and by the time the current powerhouses diminish our team of young studs would likely be flourishing.. As a STM I can't even express how excited I would be to see either one of those guys In Celtic green every night.. The electricity of the Garden would be fantastic.
At the end of the day it's all about filling seats first and raising banners second. It's a harsh reality but it is what it is.
That being said regardless of what happens we as fans have a lot to be excited about.
