Welp .... maybe Ainge can turn the 3 or 4 picks in the 10-20 range the Celts will have in this next draft into a prospect he really likes.
Didn't work last year, but maybe it will work this time around. We can't use all those draft picks anyway.
The Nets win two in a row, and their pick is now destined to be "in the 10-20 range"?
Let me remind you, they still have the fourth worst record in the League.
yes. and there don't seem to be a lot of terrible teams this year. there are an incredible number of mediocre teams, but not many terrible ones. that is very good for our nets pick.
the knicks, pistons, magic, pacers, heat, and hornets all look improved. hard to see the nets finishing ahead of any of those clubs, especially when you take lopez's fragility and their lack of depth into account. that places them at second-worst in the conference, after the sixers.
in the west, the nuggets, blazers, and of course lakers all have the potential to be very bad.
the wolves, suns, jazz, kings, and pelicans i think all have enough talent to be better than the nets, and will all be aiming for a late playoff spot.
