Has anyone seen the new ESPN commercial for the NBA draft? (can't find video online)

It shows Adam silver announcing the Lakers selection, with lonzo ball in the background and the accompanied text of "return of showtime?"

Then it shows Adam Silver announcing Celtics selection. With Fultz in the background with the text "one piece away?"

Thoughts? Are we really one piece away? Will Ball bring back Showtime Lakers? Lol

Just trying to get people excited enough to tune in to the draft.

In a normal season, we are probably one piece away. However,  the Warriors are just unbeatable.

We are one Markelle Fultz, Gordon Hayward, and Blake Griffin away from beating the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.

I think they're talking about next year's draft when we add Porter after adding Hayward and Fultz this year. :)

Sure if that piece is Durant and he's not being cloned but leaving Golden State. Otherwise I'd say we're a bit farther out.

We COULD be one piece away,  but it'd be to be a seriously special piece.

Im talking an Anthony Davis / Demarcus Cousins / Westbrook calibre special.

Anybody less then that and I'd say we are two pieces away.

Westbrook would absolutely destroy this team.  He is the physical manifestation of the opposite of Celtics basketball.

No, they are following up on what I predicted re the draft. The deal has been cut.

Boston will pick Fultz and the Lakers will pick Ball.  This is all about the grand design of the league to rekindle the Boston-LA rivalry. It was not just a coincidence that the two are picking the first two players in the draft. If you did not believe my post that the deal regarding the draft had ben cut months before the end of the season perhaps you will now that the NBA is confirming the theory by this 'commercial'.

I would normally agree, but I think Russ is special enough that you can change the way you play to cater to his unique athleticism. Doesn't IT handle the ball a lot too?
