Is there any proof that Anige was angry that the Celtics made the playoffs?
Nope. Just heresay and speculation as usual. I'm sure Ainge was happy that the celtics showed such a marked improvement after trading Rondo and acquiring IT and Crowder and the Swede that they earned a playoff spot and raised the attractiveness of playing in Boston under CBS to potential free agents.
I can't understand why anyone would rather have made the playoffs than have pick 10 or 11 right now. Even better, big tank to a top 5 and possibly strike gold like the dang Lakers. As I felt during the playoff run, once draft time comes around the first round is a distant memory, and we'd be glad for the asset of a top 10 (or so) pick. Attractiveness was not raised much by being a hustling 4 and out 7th seed with a bunch of mediocre players, IMO.
Yes, I know most of you disagree.
The crucial point you're ignoring is that the Lakers are in far greater need of a top 5 pick than us because they have a drastically inferior roster to ours. That's the whole purpose of the draft.
The Lakers have the best player on both teams and will have the 2nd and 3rd best players sometime in early July when they add okafur and whichever FA they decide to sign. Lakers roster with healthy Kobe and randle was not drastically worse than the C's. The Lakers embraced the tank.
Whatttt? The Lakers have the best player on either team? Who's that? The ghost of Kobe Bryant? Thomas is a far superior player to Kobe in his current state, and far superior to anyone else they have on that team, even when Townes or Okafor get there.
Not something I know -- just something I think: Kobe Bryant is still better than anyone on the Celtics roster. Last year, hobbled and the only real threat on the Lakers, Kobe averaged 25 ppt on terrible shooting -- and somehow grabbed 5 boards and handed 6 assists. Might be a ghost. Might not.
