Celtics Pick First in the DRAFT!!!!!!

[Granath]

And I'd just like to take this opportunity to address everyone who whined and moaned about not making a trade deadline deal.

THIS IS WHY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!

Some of us tried to tell you that two months ago and you didn't listen. Now do you understand?

The intrigue of the next few years now becomes how Isaiah Thomas and Markelle Fultz will play together.

Not a problem. In DC, wall and beal do just fine together. 

Plus, I am really pleased that the Celtics will,have TWO huskies!! My alma mater rules the roost.

Who besides Felger wanted to give up the pick plus 3/4 of Brown, Bradley, Smart, & Crowder ?

Half this board. The usual trigger happy traders.

TP...very true.

While I didn't have a problem trading for Butler or George, giving up more than the pick and one player is all I ever would have done...and that player wouldn't have been Brown.

I was ready to watch the lottery live (2:30 am here in France) and took a nap beforehand... to wake up an hour after it was over. I went to ESPN thinking I would see another team's logo on the front page but it was the Celtics' with the headline "It's not luck". Awesome way to wake up and break the curse !!

3rd lottery pick in a row where the Lakers were picking right before, or right after the Celtics.

Aha, thanks, right back at you ! It's good to be back, actually I've been here since the start of the playoffs but since most of my posts are coming in the middle of the night in US time, they are not easy to find !

Well I work night shift here in the states, so I'll find them!

Awesome !

By the way, picking a spot ahead of the Lakers (especially when that spot is the #1) is the icing on the cake.

The only way these last 36 hours could have gone better would be if they Lakers had fallen out of the Top 3.

Oh well, still an incredibly fun 36 hours!

Look I'll say it. This makes the coming series just house money. Take Fultz and never look back man.

This pick was house money the way I look at it. Nobody expected this pick to land at 1 a few years back. Unbelievable coup for the franchise.

What an unbelievable place the Celtics are in right now.

AND....The Nets still suck and we still get their pick again next year! Amazing.

Er, no.

Then Philly would have gotten their pick. No Celtics fan wants to see Philly with two top 5 picks in this draft. I'm quite happy that LA got their pick and is picking higher than Philly.

Not sure about that.  Wasn't the deal for Butler the BKN 2018 + Crowder + filler?
