'The worst possible scenario'
Wyc needs to clean house. Danny has run the franchise into the ground. A team that a few years ago contended for an Eastern Conference title is now a bottom-dweller
loser at Ping Pong roulette. ... Bob Kraft? Hello? Want to invest in a distressed franchise? Hello? ...
But of course. I focused on how the Celts had a 20 percent chance of getting the first pick in the NBA lottery. I forgot they had a 20 percent chance of getting the worst-case scenario pick in the NBA lottery. I deserve the bi-polar ride. ... Wyc says Danny is assuring him the draft is deeper than many believe.
Tony reminds us of a prior example of Danny's vision:
The Celtics have made their share of bad maneuvers over the years, and maybe it is only fitting that Portland claimed the No. 1 pick. Representing the Blazers at the lottery, after all, was none other than NBA Rookie of the Year Brandon Roy, whom the Trail Blazers acquired as part of the three-way deal that sent Sebastian Telfair to the Celtics. In that way, the Celtics have no one to blame but themselves.
The Celts should go after Atlanta's No. 3. Al Horford is worth it. Perhaps the No. 5 pick and Sebastian Telfair? After all it
is Atlanta. Then again, it
is the Celts. ...
