This is based on a shower thought I had a few days ago after we got walloped by the Cavs.  Now I know this is pretty much very improbable, but what if the stars align and we end up winning both #18 and #1? What would our offseason be like? How would you like it to be like?

I hope this ends up a fun discussion and not about how delusional this thinking is or how we are gonna end up with the fourth pick, lose IT to injury and get eliminated in the first round.

If we win a ring this year and land the #1 pick, Danny Ainge could give James Young a 5 year max and I wouldnt even be mad.

It's crazy to think about but it's not totally out of the realm of reality.

History would have been rewritten had they taken Melo instead. Both for the Pistons and Melo.

It would be a red Auerbach moment. reminiscent of 1986 where the Celtics won and then had the #2 lotto pick in the draft (Len Bias) from an earlier genius trade Red made.

The Boston Celtics will be the most hated basketball team in the history of NBA just like my New England Patriots in the NFL  ;D (to me the Cowboys aren't the most hated but they say that's America's team lol).

Everyone will be hating Boston Sports Teams, and I'm an LA guy so I'll be getting all the crap from haters down here, besides the Fakers and Warriors fans hahaha.

We may as well sign Durant, since he's a front-runner.

2004 is a tough year to exceed. But if the C's were to beat the Cavs and then the Warriors, it would be a close call. The Pats' comeback plus whatever massive effort somehow got the C's past those two massive favorites would be a legit candidate for Greatest Year Ever.

Cmon man

Ok... Only way its possible

Cavs lose in the 1st or 2nd round

Gsw make it to the finals but Durant is out

So we would need all of these breaks to win
