The Celtics Are In A GREAT Position Franchise Wise

[William Bassington]

Seems like they are gonna be fortunate enough to not go through that dreaded drawn-out rebuilding mode. Even if KG and Allen leave, they'll be good for next year because they have picks #21 and #22...and those can turn into really good players with Doc Rivers at the helms and Rondo orchestrating..so they have a few options...they can either use the picks and start a new nucleus...

Rondo
Bradley/Rivers
Pierce
Bass
Leonard

or

Rondo
Bradley
Pierce/Harkless
Bass
Leonard

or they can trade pierce and package one of the picks for a lotto pick...

either they lookin good for the next decade

LOL...they may end up with Lamb seeing that his stock is dropping faster than Facebook

 

[Kang Deezy]

Rivers and Leonard will not be options that late.

Both are probably lottery picks

Supposedly Rivers has promise in late lottery

But they should get two really good prospects with those picks

Leonard and Rivers would be nice tho

it seems the Celtics have been getting the absolute best out of their players lately, so im sure whoever they pick will pan out with Rondo and Doc Rivers at the helms...Lamb would be a steal

 

[Kang Deezy]

Can we move this to Celtics Offseason thread?

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

They still have their best player.

Rivers is going no lower than 15. apparently Lamb is looking like an ass in the combine and will potentially drop. put him next to Rondo and people will be talking ROY status. thats how good i think Rondo can make him.

They're in a pretty bad place actually.

Outside of Bradley and Rondo, they have no other young players worth mentioning.

 

[Swaggatron]

Lamb is perfect to team with Rondo.

No way the Wolves let him get past 18.

Then Terrence Ross might slip to us

Jajuan Johnson has potential.

I think they are in a good spot, rondo probably is the best value in the entire league considering his contract, they have the most well liked and respected coach, KG, Pierce, a ton of history and even more cap space.

Honestly blowing it up and rebuilding isn't an option, you could surround Rondo with bums and they probably still make the playoffs. The East is really bad right now so trying to tank for high picks is almost impossible.

The only one of these guys - Rivers/Lamb/Ross that has a chance of slipping beyond 15 is Lamb, the other two should be gone by then and Lamb shouldn't fall past the Wolves.

Odds of either of them slipping to 18 look slim right now.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Where would Ross go before 18?
