I would have traded all those wasted firsts for ONE good player

Indeed.
There's a bright side to last night's horror, however.
Lots of laughs in the frantic attempts to spin this draft on this board.
One maybe, and a bunch of SMH picks.
No, it's just you and the same old half a dozen negative nancy's who like to crap all over everything the team does because you either like losing or thing there's only one way to accomplish something. The same old cast of characters acting out the same tired act.
There's no frantic attempts to spin this draft. The proof will be 3 or 4 years from now as it always is. In the meanwhile, you and your ilk have crapped all over every other move yet the team just about doubled its win total over the last couple of years which goes to show how truly little you guys know about the game of basketball.
This is a lie and you know it. People have been frantically trying to spin this draft since we took Brown. Just look at all the posts saying "This is a disaster" and "Danny is an idiot" or calling for him to be fired. Those people have been frantically trying to spin it as a failure all night.
Why would we have to "frantically try to spin this draft since we took Brown" when some of us actually predicted we'd take Brown? Why would we need spin when we realized long ago that Jimmy Butler was worth more to Chicago than he was to us? Why would we need spin when we said immediately that the Noel deal was horrible because it didn't really fit the needs of the team with a bunch of later picks that we already had? Or that Okafor wasn't worth the #3 pick and that people here were grossly overvaluing him? Do you need me to go point out the threads where I said every single one of these things in the last few weeks?
It didn't take a lot to figure most of this stuff out. In fact, most of it was quite obvious and thus some of us knew what to expect on draft night, which was that we got bigger, more athletic and we got guys that fit together well. That all sounds fine to me. Frankly, the only thing I'm truly surprised about was that I expected to acquire Brook Lopez last night from the Nets.
Some of you are acting like petulant children because you didn't get your binkie last night. Too bad. Your tears of anguish will make it all the more satisfying when Brown makes the All Star game within the next 5 years.
...I'm agreeing with you....
The anti-Brown and anti-Danny people have been spinning the draft as being bad all night
Beyond Brown, which is a project pick at best. But that obviously escapes most of you, in your equally frantic attempts to defend the draft savant Danny Ainge.
I get that you're not going to turn loose of your idealized view of the wildly overrated Mr. Ainge easily.
Don't expect the world to buy "In Danny We Trust," however. Your sell got a LOT tougher with his dismal performance last night. One of the worst Celtic drafts. Ever.
Now, you can have at it. I don't intend to dwell on the disaster that was last night. Clearly, the sad state of this franchise doesn't deserve that much attention.
But I do intend to continue laughing at you from afar, blind loyalty being what it is.
