A little over a week ago, my life was normal. The Cs were going to draft Markelle Fultz and finally get a second scorer alongside IT.

And then everything blew up. Now, I have carpal tunnel syndrome from refreshing my screen so often, my productivity has gone to zero and I wake up in a cold sweat every morning, having dreamed that Danny traded all of our draft picks for every selection in the 2023 second round. Furthermore, just as the draft panic ends, I get to start worrying about free agency.

Ack!

I'm 100% with you. Good thing I work for myself or I would have been fired from lack of production.
ok fine

I feel you Mike, but I will never forget Durantathon.... that, my little refresher towel, was pure hellish torture..

Join the club (my neck is strained), the trade left most of us nervous, skeptical and many are upset. Fultz may not have been the the right pick, but he would have allayed our fears. The only hope is we get someone better or equivalent in the draft(s).

All you need to concern yourself with is Boston taking Tatum or Jackson. That is really the scenario

I can't stand this either. I am constantly listening to NBA radio on Sirius. All my home time I am reading this blog, checking ESPN and any NBA sources I can. It is crazy and I know nothing is happening for us and we will just be making a draft selection and then it will all start over again waiting for July 1st.

What about Isaac?

Danny tends to compare the good player that's in front of him to the potential of a lesser player. In that case I can see Isaac coming into play too.

The basketball gurus seem to think he has the most potential in the draft. On the other hand, others feel he could be a bust. Tough choice for me. I'm sure Danny and crew have already sorted that out.

I'm worried he selects Smith Jr.

It'd be classic Danny Ainge

If he has a higher ceiling than Tatum, take him.

Well today is the day that most of the true rumors surface. If there are trades that have been discussed usually they surface on the day before the draft. I hope that is the case, because production at work has gone dramatically down.
