We should not be involved in this draft. Unfortunately every team in this league knows that.
So unless a team falls in love with a player I don't see these picks being trade chips.
We're going to actually draft players this year..... Yay more semi's and grant williams.... That's not a good thing people.
Man, I wished the Heat followed this advice, because we'd probably be in the finals instead of them.
Ahh I get it...yeah.
How often do you see what the heat did? They were the exception to the rule.
While I realize the celtics are a team that has to build through the draft because boston isn't LA. Now is not the time to see if rj hunter is going to pan out. We need established players that are great at one thing not these jack of all trades guys that can do a lot of things but aren't great at anything. It's how roles are defined.
The Spurs and Warriors in the last decade? 
Is the point about mid to late 1st round picks or drafting in general. Because the Warriors weren't built on mid to late 1st round picks at all. Curry and Barnes were top 10 picks, Klay was 11, and Dray was a 2nd rounder. They also had a former 1st overall pick in Bogut and Iggy was also a top 10 pick. Obviously they swapped out Barnes (and others) for Durant, who was also the #2 pick.
The Heat are built mostly on mid to late 1st round picks. That is incredibly rare historically. Butler was 30, Bam was 14, Herro and KO were 13, Dragic and Crowder were 2nd rounders, and Nunn and Robinson weren't even drafted. Seriously Iggy was the only top 10 pick to play a playoff game for the Heat this year. Leonard played in 3 games and he was the 11th pick as the next highest drafted guy. That is something you just don't see and if they by chance land Giannis, well then they would still be built on mid to late 1st rounders since Giannis also fits that bill.
Most of the great teams are built on the backs of top 10 picks. They aren't always drafted by the team, but they are generally present throughout the roster because by and large the best players are in fact top 10 picks and the best players are the ones that win the most. The Heat, Bucks, and Clippers really are very rare historically as having very few players on their teams that are drafted in the top 10 (of course the Clippers and Bucks both lost in the 2nd round, so who knows how good they actually are).
Even a team like the Spurs that had a lot of talent from outside the top 10, still had that #1 pick as the foundational piece. Without Duncan's broad shoulders to stand on, the Spurs don't win a single title.
