This is what makes next year's draft period interesting.
Ainge doesn't specifically have the money for five lottery picks on his team...does he?
Smart
Brown
Tatum
BKN 18
LA 18
Of course he can sign them all, but that isn't the point. I say, if Ainge has two number ones next year, he might go into, or at least try to go into "win now mode." I guess, if he wants Anthony Davis, this might be the time.
"Yea, we're just busy developing 5 lottery picks...no prob."
If he gets it, Ainge will trade the LA pick to draft two undersized guards later in the first who need to develop their shot...then we'll be ready to go!
