Celtics aside, which team do you want to land the 1st pick?

[Kane3387]

Charlotte. I love MJ. Otherwise Cleveland and then NO.

It would be terrible if he goes to Charlotte.  They have nothing else there to put around him, and that would kill his development. 

I think Charlotte needs someone more like MKG, or Robinson.  Someone who is more developed, and can step in quicker and handle the load.

Not to mention Charlotte's best young player is already a defensive oriented big man. 

Byombo is not better then kemba right now. Charlotte needs this kid. I don't care what team he goes too in terms of changing the win percentage dramatically bc that's not happening. Him in Charlotte gives that team a chance for a future and they are so bad that need him to provide hope.

Probably Detroit.

I like Joe Dumars and I'd like to see him get a top player to aid in his team's rebuilding process.

I don't like the Cavaliers or Wizards organizations. I do not want to see them get the first pick. Nor the Kings. I don't really like the Bucks or Nets either. So none of these teams and I'll be pretty happy.

See, I hate Dumars and the Detroit organization.  I think they have made a mess of themselves.

The Wizards on the other hand seemed to turn a corner this last year.  I love the way they decided to clean house of the bad attitudes, and start fresh building around Wall.

This is the second time they have done this.. Why do you think it will turn out way better then last time?

Golden State or Toronto

As big a Celtics fan I am, I'm also a fan of the hometown team Warrirors. Not really a fan of Toronto but I'm a huge Bargnani fan (I don't know why) and I want to see him succeed.

Ok, follow me here...I think the NBA Lottery is a joke.  How can the NBA justify keeping the top draft talent from the teams who need help the most?  The Lottery is an David Stern gimmick and tool to force players where he wants.

So, I want anything that hurts the NBA lottery.  To me there are only two options Sacramento and Golden State.  Both would be black holes in terms of NBA marketing and public relations for Anthony Davis.  The Kings franchise is becoming a nightmare for the league and there are rumors the Maloofs want the Kings in Las Vegas.

If the Kings get Anthony Davis, they can force the league to let them move or be closer to their goal, causing chaos and craziness around the league and p---ing off David Stern.

So Golden State and Sacramento.

Get a life!

Phoenix or Minnesota.

A Kyrie Irving/Anthony Davis pairing in Cleveland would be fun to watch.

That would be awesome

my next choice would be Sacramento...throw a wrench into leaving town

then Utah

then maybe New Orleans

[Celtics4ever]

None of them, I hate any team not named the Celtics.

[Boris Badenov]

Cleveland.

If Gilbert's boast that the Cavs will win a title before Lebron does ever came true, it would be one of the greatest things ever.

Also, the conspiracy stories would be awesome.

[Army_of_One_Nation]

The Warriors.

[guava_wrench]

Cleveland.

If Gilbert's boast that the Cavs will win a title before Lebron does ever came true, it would be one of the greatest things ever.

Also, the conspiracy stories would be awesome.

No matter what happens, there will be plenty of conspiracy stories.

Im thinking. If Charlotte gets the #1 pick, Micahel would trade that for more stuff. Maybe for Toronto for Bargnani and their pick. ALthough looking at it, that's not a bad trade.

All I'm saying is, Michael might screw this up again.

[Celtics4ever]

Cleveland.   I would love to see them get a title before MIA!

[CFAN38]

I would have to say Clevland. I would love nothing more then for Irving and Davis to develop into the next great PG/PF duo and consistently beat Lebron.

[wdleehi]

The Wizards.


I wouldn't mind the local team having some more talent so their games might be a little bit more interesting. 

[Employee8]

Portland, love the city, love the fanbase.  They deserve a winning team after that tough luck of passing up Durant and taking Oden.  I thought it was a solid pick too back then.  It's weird, they're my favorite team from the West but I sincerely hate them when they go up against the Celtics.  It's like a switch.  But anyway, stay away from Boston, Portland and you're good in my book.

[pearljammer10]

Bobcats just because the need all the help they can get. I dont even think the number pick would really help them all that much, so maybe it would be more exciting for a different team to get the number 1 because it will benefit them more.
