were the clippers actually shopping Blake after all? only thing i heard all week was doc stating how it wasn't happening which makes me think of course that it was in the process of happening all along

Adam Kaufman @AdamMKaufman 21s22 seconds agoAinge told me, yes, the #Celtics COULD use all 8 of their 2016 draft picks by drafting and stashing, but he didn't appear to expect to.

why wont anyone accept these draft picks --danny ainge
― lag∞n, Friday, 19 February 2016 22:20 (eight years ago) link
the thing about amassing so many draft picks in the NBA is that realistically you can only add like, 2 maybe 3 rookies to your roster in a given year. so teams know that if they wait danny out he's gonna have to start offering the draft picks around more liberally. no team has use for like 5 or 6 picks in a year, let alone 8.

eh the teams still have to compete against each other tho, and he can always stash players in europe, and 2nd round/late 1st round picks are pretty fungible anyway
― lag∞n, Saturday, 20 February 2016 01:58 (eight years ago) link
both butler and george seem pretty unlikely those are like those teams main dudes and you never hear anything abt them being troubled or unhappy, tho i guess i cld see either club being ready to blow it up, still doesnt seem like a good idea to trade away players of that caliber in their prime regardless of where yr team is at, those are the types of dudes youre trying to get
