i don't see the Celtics drafting Bender with Olynyk on the roster, because the two of them are way too similar imo

It's between Hield and Murray most likely. If they think Jamal's offensive game blends well with Smart, then he will probably the pick. If the two don't seem to be a good pairing then it's probably Hield to play the 2/3

Getting annoying? It's not your team so why do you care?

Tanking is annoying. Having good top draft picks rot on a depressing ass franchise that goes into each game knowing they will lose. That doesnt help their development whatsoever.

So need 10 years to tank to finally be succesfull? They can trade to get good players, they can sign veterans....do something after all these years

The Lakers have been tanking nearly as long as the 76ers.

Okafor/Noel will keep getting better (or at least they hope so) and they're also adding Saric and Embiid, both question marks so idk the front office's confidence level in them but again not like they're barren

Smh sad how much yall sleeping on domantas sabonis
I'm not sleeping on him, already did my work on him and he's got a prospect comparison thread coming and I already know who I'm putting him up against but waiting a bit to do that just in case I change my mind, looking at the other bigs in the class right now (Bender and Ellenson, already know Deyonta Davis but will probably look at scouts' takes on him too)

They should see if they can get a lottery pick for Okafor
