Dream scenary:

Phoenix 1, Celtics 2, Dallas 3, Lakers & Sixers out of top-3.

Phoenix picks Ball, we get Fultz who, as second pick, takes less salary cap than Ball. It would be essential to our chances of signing a max player next summer.

Frankly, if you want a max free agent without too much hassle this summer, you should be rooting for us to pick 4th.  Picking 2nd is still going to require about the same amount of maneuvering as 1st at this point.  Maybe you wouldn't have to dump Demetrius Jackson, but he's not going to be a sticking point in any scenario.

Celtics fans don't relax when it comes to the draft lottery.

Can't relax when Lakers and Suns are dueling for #2 odds.  Each ping-pong ball with Lakers numbers on it are dangerously and Magically lucky.    With two #2 picks in a row, LAL is incapable of losing in the lottery. They'll get #1 or 2  guaranteed.  Not a conspicacy theorist, just a believer in torturous Laker Luck.

Since Nets obviously didn't tank, Silver should just grant them (us following swap) the 1st pick, and let the lottery be for the 2nd and 3rd picks.

Seems fair, right?

I wish.
