Will Clipps be a top 10 pick?

[Redz]

I believe the pick is in 2012, so it would be next year where we would be cheering for them to finish with the 11th worst record.

And this is significant because the 2012 draft figures to be much stronger than this years draft.

With our luck with the draft, the Clippers will finish in the 11th slot then win the Lottery 

That wouldn't help us because in that case, they would keep the pick.  We need the actual selection to be outside of the top 10, not just the initial position by record.

That's what Redz was saying.  Because we have bad luck, that's probably what would happen.

Of course, then maybe Danny could reverse that luck and trade the rights to the pick and a young stud (Jeff Green) to some franchise looking to off-load its aging franchise player.

or Tim Duncan  then all would be right with our Lottery injustices.

Or maybe they are good until 2016 then Blake will leave and we'll get the first pick overall.

We need them to be bad until 2016. If they're good, we'll get their pick if it's not top 10.

If they're good until 2016 we'll get their pick one of those years.

yea it is top 10 protected, like I mentioned in another thread it can still bring us some legit talent in th 11-18 range of the draft.

This is where Danny is at his best, he drafted both Rondo and Big Al around #15

Rondo at 21 (trade with Suns)

Hey maybe Austin Rivers pulls a Bradley and we scoop him in the early teens.

I understand it was a trade, but my point is Danny can spot talent when he sees it and has been pretty successful in the mid -late 1st rd.( where Rondo was drafted)

[Celtics4ever]

Right now they are projected at the 8th pick.  Mr. Blake might have them in the playoffs but I think there chances are less with Baron gone.  It's protected as a top ten so we want them to finish in the 11th or 12th.

I think we would get a stud there.  Not a surefire lock but with Danny I think we'd get a good player.

if their reg.season record is 11 and lottery gets them 10th pick could we trade only the rights to the pick or trade down in the draft to 11 ?

No, we only get the pick if after the lottery, it is outside the top 10. Starting summer of 2012.

clippers most likely will have a lottery pick in 2012 from minnesota, minnesota will likely keep their pick this year and clippers will get it next year. If clippers reach the playoffs hopefully we get 11th pick,we also have our late 1st in 2012  and our own 2nd pick. That's three picks in 2012 years draft. And we own Minnesota's 2013 2nd pick.

we could trade some of these picks, especially if we owned the clippers pick that year,maybe we could offer a player ond our pick to move up in the draft or to get some player from some other team.

[incoherent]

With the clippers pick we need to get Jimmer, just because his name is awesome.
