The Boston Celtics are finalizing a deal to acquire the Washington Wizards’ Kristaps Porzingis, Marcus Smart to Memphis

Guys of value get drafted late every single draft. Isaiah Thomas was the last pick in his draft class & Khris Middleton was the 39th pick the following year

Now list the other 29 second round picks in those drafts. Dawg you can't be this slow. Most second rounders don't even make the league.

This guy is a medical liability

I'd bet my life they get nothing of value with that pick

Robert Williams was pick 27 but continue to put yo foot in your mouth

Bro. He isn’t understanding that we aren’t saying All-Stars get drafted late every year. It’s that serviceable guys go late yearly

And there are more misses than hits when you're picking from that range.

Obviously.

Mfiondu Kabengele was 27th pick in the very next draft. You are much more likely to get a Mfiondu than a Robert Williams.

Obviously.

Then what are you arguing about? The Wizards should have at least gotten a first pick for their assets. All they got were second round picks.

The draft is a crap shoot. Most NBA GM’s not only cannot draft but also have no idea how to build an NBA roster. Be one of the smart front offices and you can eat with mid to late picks. There’s a reason a lot of teams are always in the lottery.

I ain’t gonna lie if I was a Washington fan, I’d find a new team to root for

No way CP3 is on the roster at the start of the season unless of the wiz buy him out that’s 15m he might have to give back which was his fully guaranteed money

People are saying Celtics might make move to get CP3-0 (rings) but I still think Clippers are in the mix. He’s def not playing on the Wizards next season.

Celtics a superteam now?

Celtics will put the pick in the weight room and he'll be Aaron Gordon.

Now list all the other 41st picks. Getting a player like Jokic in that spot is 1 in a million.

maybe 1 in a billion. Jokic looks like he might end up being a top 10 player ever. You probably have a better chance of exhuming the Titantic wreckage than ever finding a player of Jokic‘s caliber at that pick again.

I like Boston getting KP but they’ve made their greatest weakness even weaker..and idk if I would’ve traded smart for him .Brogdon was a no brainer

Smart fits Memphis like a glove …the best perimeter defenders in the league (big upgrade over Dillon Brooks (overall) with the best rim protector in the league..With Steven Adams down low…That’s scary as hell. I think they won the trade.

Tyus Jones is probably around the 25th best pg in the league..nothing to be that excited over but it’s better to get him for Kristaps than nothing at all because he was going to walk.
