Am I the only who thinks we shouldn't keep our pick?
Depends on how they feel about Tatum Jackson and fultz
If we trade the pick we basically give up our cap space tho if it's for a big star unless it's somebody still on a rookie deal like porzingis
I don't really want Lonzo either but he might be a decent fit next to IT. I want Fultz but it feels kinda forced. Big fan of Tatum.
Draft day.
Time for us to clinch that #1 pick.
Isaiah already kows what time IT is.

I actually think Lonzo would be a great fit for us and would welcome him with open arms if he were to come to Boston.
I also like Tatum and Jackson.

Knowing our lottery luck, I'll wake up Wednesday morning with us having no draft picks and eliminated from the playoffs.
Lonzo and Lavar in racist ass Boston? You sure that's a good fit breh?
Low Key, I think Lonzo and Lavar Ball are going to pull a Keith Van Horn tonight if they don't land on the Lakers.
1. Boston isn't any more racist than any other major city in the US. You act like the Cs haven't dealt with outspoken/loud personalities before (Kevin Garnett, Gary Payton, Stephon Marbury, etc.).
2. Lonzo would be a great fit for the Cs but I'm certain they have their sights set on the Lakers.
Lakers*
I just don't think Lavar would accept Lonzo on the Celtics given at how this whole thing has gone down?
Machine Gun Kelly done came a long way. 
Olynyk is the first Celtics reserve to score 25-plus points in a playoff game since Eddie House scored 31 on May 6, 2009, against the Orlando Magic. Olynyk's 26 points were the most by any bench player in a Game 7 since Leandro Barbosa scored 26 points for the Suns in a 2006 playoff game against the Lakers, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
Kelly Olynyk the improbable hero of Game 7 for Celtics

Lavar won't like Lonzo on the Celtics because he'll be a backup for the foreseeable future
It could go either way. Lonzo obviously prefers LA because of the entertainment industry, weather, etc. but Boston does boast having the GOAT franchise and has a winning culture and a VERY bright future.
Him wanting the Lakers or Knicks is understandable considering he's trying to push that brand
But being a star for the Celtics > Being a star for the Magic or Suns
Difference is that if he gets drafted by the latter two there's a clear path to minutes assuming Bledsoe gets traded.
Look at their "2nd best player in the East"...their "just as good as Westbrook" player :jaecrowder:
*The Brooklyn Nets finished with the worst record in the NBA, so the Celtics will have the best odds out of any team in the 2017 NBA Lottery after exercising their pick swap with that team. Boston will hold 250 out of a possible 1,000 combinations. This means the Celtics have a 25 percent chance of earning the top pick and can fall no further than No. 4 during the lottery process.
*The team with the worst record has landed the No. 1 or No. 2 pick in the lottery for the past six seasons.
*The Cs haven't had good luck with the draft lottery throughout its franchise history; Boston has taken part in the draft lottery 11 times since its creation in 1985. In 10 of those 11 lottery appearances, Boston has maintained its likeliest draft position based on regular-season win-loss records or fallen to a lower position in the draft order due to teams jumping ahead via ping-pong balls or other factors. The one time the Celtics improved their position was in 1987, when they jumped to No. 2 overall (via Seattle’s pick). Boston would ultimately select Len Bias, who tragically passed away just two days after being drafted.
*Co-owner Wyc Grousbeck will be the Celtics’ representative at the team podium on ESPN, while fellow owner Steve Pagliuca will be the team’s representative inside the private room where the ping-pong balls are drawn.
*The teams to watch from Boston’s perspective are the Lakers and Sixers. Losing a first-round draft pick would be a big hit to the Lakers’ quest to rebuild and perhaps damage their chances of acquiring a hometown star like Paul George via trade or free agency. Meanwhile, if the ping-pong balls fall right, the Sixers have the ability to land two draft picks in the top 4. That scenario would give Philadelphia additional value assets this offseason, giving the Celtics potentially another suitor to battle with on the trade market.
