Stole this from a facebook post on a Celtics group
So what would you rather be? A or B?
Yes, Isaiah would have just come back from injury but would likely be compromised overall going forward, and idk how Crowder would react playing alongside Hayward, or having his minutes cut in general, but boy, that BKN Pick looks like a Top-5 pick now (sadly).
Also, I think this hypothetical assumes we finished the regular season with 45 wins, but that's with us ending on a good run while getting back a healthy Isaiah and still having Crowder, BKN Pick, Zizic (since the Kyrie deal was never done in this scenario). Basically, we're a much healthier team today AND have the Brooklyn Pick still (and Kings as well).
I love and miss what Isaiah did for us, and Crowder too,
but I still lean towards B here. What really makes me hesitate though is that BKN Pick, which could have yielded us the franchise big of the future. Meanwhile, idk if that will be the case with next year's class. What do you guys think?
