It was bad, but they did get Ross and a 1st when they realized he wasn't working out like they thought.
That pick was Anžejs Pasečņiks. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t been wondering when he’s going to make his big splash in the NBA. I’m going out on a limb here and say ‘never’.
As Celtics fans seem not to have noticed, Serge Ibaka was a critical player in Toronto winning a championship last season. Signed a three year, ~$65M deal in 2017. Good deal? I say yes. But is he better than Ross? Well, yes, by a wide margin.
