2016 was a lot of fun. There was the Butler rumors of course, but also the rumored trade with the Sixers something like Noel, Covington, 24, and 26 for 3. That was heavily debated. Then you had it presumed to be a 2 person draft and then like 6 players that were rumored as the 3rd best player. So there was all the discussion about who to pick when a trade wasn't made, and then debates about the pick after it was made.
Boston was also in a weird place as a team as no one really knew what direction Ainge was going to go. Boston surprisingly won 48 games, but lost in the 1st round of the playoffs, and we IT had come out of nowhere so there were all the threads about what he was or could be. Then add to that, Boston having 2 max spots that summer. It was just one of those times where there was so much going on.
