I laughed especially hard at Celtic fans.

Celtics fans are among the worst in sports. Watching them think they had an ice cube's chance in hell of getting Kevin Durant, Demarcus Cousins, Jimmy Cutler, Paul George, Dwight Howard, and pretty much every other star on the planet has been more annoying than anything in football.

It's more that they think that James Young and a 2058 2nd is fair compensation for that caliber of player. I include Danny Ainge in that btw.

You like the Noel trade? Dallas didn't really give up much for a star defensive center.

How could I not? Rim running centers have always excelled under Carlisle. We might've just gotten a 22 year old Tyson Chandler for some spare change.

I'm just concerned we're gonna be drafting ~15 instead of ~5 like we should be and end up drafting another Shane Larkin, but the Mavs have been above .500 since 1/1 so it's hard to attribute their inability to bottom out to the Noel trade.

They're like four games back from the 8 seed, I don't think you have to worry about that particular scenario. 8-10 isn't a bad area for them to draft in.

What about 2018 NBA draft?

[dasmier]

By the way, 2018 NBA draft was the last one, in which the original weighted lottery system was used, which gave teams from the bottom of the standings the best odds in the top three of the draft pick, while the teams above had the worst odds. It will be interesting to witness the progress of Deandre Ayton, who played for the student team Arizona Wildcats (for which I also played) and was selected as the first number of the Phoenix draft pick. For a long time I played for this team during my studies, but due to lack of time sometimes I looked for answers to homework on various resources, and this helped me a lot. In general, I will follow up the results of Deandre. And who impresses you?
