so the league will have to play big brother and approve trades? ya thats not gonna cause problems I believe league approval still happens today, but I could be wrong ithink the only time league approval was used was the paul to the lakers trade and that was because the league owned the pelicans at that time.. other then that i think all they approve is that it works cap wise and pick wise

There is no parity, or balance of power approval. When Stern vetoed Paul, it was as acting GM, not as league Commish.

Dwight Howard and his agent have reached out to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers have "no interest at all" in a reunion.
Dwight Howard burned a lot of bridges with the Lakers organization with his one year stint with the team in the 2012-13 season.

Celtics are better than the Heat even if they add Westbrook, despite Jimmy being the best of all players.
With that said, I think Danny really screwed this up. They're still pretty good and still have assets, but a lot has gone to waste IMO. One thing I learned from the Bulls failure to win a title is that you shouldn't plan to be a contender for 5+ years, but instead for a 2-3 year time frame. Other than the Spurs (who still retooled during their long run), most teams' runs only last about 3 seasons. When the Celtics traded for Kyrie, they should have looked to acquire another star player alongside him.
I know Kyrie wasn't there yet, but when Butler was available, they should have traded for him. When Paul George was available, they should have looked to trade for him. When AD was available, they should have looked to trade for him (this one is more tricky because you need Kyrie to sign off on staying afterall). When Kawhi was available, they should have traded for him. A lot of superstars have been available and the Celtics have had the best assets easily every time, yet only pulled the trigger once.
Since the Garnett trade in 2013, first round draft picks:
- Drafted Marcus Smart #6 overall - Drafted James Young #17 overall (out of league and bust) - Drafted Terry Rozier #16 overall (signed with Hornets and sucks) - Drafted RJ Hunter #28 overall (bouncing around the league, on 2 way contract now) - Drafted Jaylen Brown #3 overall - Drafted Guerschon Yabusele #16 overall (career PPG average of 2.3) - Drafted Ante Zizic #23 (traded to Cleveland in package for Kyrie) - Drafted Jayson Tatum #3 - Drafted Robert Williams #28 (not much on him but stats don't scream keeper)
Of all of those draft picks, I believe only Jayson Tatum outplayed the draft position he was selected at. Jaylen Brown is a good player, but he will probably never be part of a championship big three. He is also likely to be paid more than he is worth in the future. Guys like Jaylen Brown and essentially all other firsts they have should have been traded in a package for a superstar, even if they leave after a year or two. Paul George proved that the risk would have paid off. Kawhi would have netted one championship and it's entirely plausible that Brown + firsts would have been enough to bring him over. Danny had an abundance of assets where he could afford to overpay multiple times in a trade, yet sat on the assets and watched them depreciate. By doing that he also lost the one player he traded assets for.

I think danny has done a pretty good job drafting overall if i told you in 5 years your going to land 2 starters one of which has Elite player potential the other a solid player. An all nba 1st team defender, and a solid backup pg that has earned the chance to be a starting PG in this league on another team. You would take that 90 times out of 100. everyone know the NBA draft is a huge crap shoot.. sure their are solid players that fall thru the crack but for the most part if your not drafting in the top 5 the chance of getting a stud isnt as good. you could like at the last 5 draft of more then half the league and be like you faked up.. If you want to talk about draft fak up lets talk about the bulls trading Nurek and gary harris's draft right for doug mcdermoutt ouch. how good would the bulls be right now if they would have drafted them instead of mcbuckets

I will find you 5 random teams' drafts and compare them to the Celtics during that 2013-18 stretch, while trying to find some correlation between mixture of top 5 picks as well as middle to late firsts(so not totally random, but not trying to think of the 5 best drafts either). Denver Nuggets: Jusuf Nurkic (16th), Gary Harris (19th), Nikola Jokic (41st), Emmanuel Mudiay (7th), Jamal Murray (7th), Juan Hernangomez (15th), Malik Beasley (19th), Tyler Lydon (24th), Monte Morris (51st), Porter Jr. (14th) Chicago Bulls: Tony Snell (20th), Doug McDermott (11th), Bobby Portis (22nd), Denzel Valentine (14th), Lauri Markkanen (7th), Wendell Carter Jr. (7th), Chandler Hutchinson (22nd) Cleveland Cavaliers: Anthony Bennett (1st), Sergey Karasev (19th), Andrew Wiggins (1st), Joe Harris (33rd), Cedi Osman (31st), Collin Sexton (8th) Portland Trail Blazers: CJ McCollum (10th), Allen Crabbe (31st), Zach Collins (10th), Anfernee Simons (24th) Utah Jazz: Trey Burke (9th), Rudy Gobert(27th), Dante Exum (5th), Rodney Hood (23rd), Trey Lyles (12th), Donavan Mitchell (13th), Grayson Allen (24th) Denver total 1st rounders: 8 Average draft position: 15.13 Chicago 1st rounders: 7 Average draft position: 14.71 Cleveland 1st rounders: 4 Average draft position: 7.25 Portland 1st rounders: 3 Average draft position: 14.67 Utah 1st rounders: 7 Average draft position: 16.14 Boston 1st rounders: 9 Average draft position 15.56 Boston had the most stabs at it than any of the 5 on this list, yet we can only say they definitively have had a better draft than Cleveland. They have better players than Portland, but had 3 times as many 1st round picks as them.

Boston's draft position is less than a spot lower from the highest draft position(excluding Cleveland). We can agree that Cleveland and Chicago have not been very good at drafting since 2013, so that's the group the Celtics are in basically, though Cleveland belongs in it's own category of awful with Phoenix.

You get how the law of averages work right? Boston has he 2 top 3 picks so for them to finish with the 2nd worst average draft spot then the rest of their 1st round picks have to average pretty damn low which means the odds of drafting a solid player gets lower. Boston has hit well on its top 10 picks. Tatum is a potential superstar , brown is solid and smart is a 1st all defensive player If you take out those 3 guys their aflverage draft position if probably around 23ish( I’m not figuring it out). That’s a huge crap shoot for any team drafting in that area.

Boston has he 2 top 3 picks so for them to finish with the 2nd worst average draft spot then the rest of their 1st round picks have to average pretty damn low which means the odds of drafting a solid player gets lower. Boston has hit well on its top 10 picks. Tatum is a potential superstar , brown is solid and smart is a 1st all defensive player If you take out those 3 guys their aflverage draft position if probably around 23ish( I’m not figuring it out). That’s a huge crap shoot for any team drafting in that area. I know how the law of averages work. I also know you meant to ask me if I know how averages, not law of average, work. Boston had the most top 10 picks, yet other teams drafted just as if not more successfully. Bar Cleveland, Boston also had the three highest draft picks. At the end of the day, only Tatum outperformed the spot he was picked at. #6 pick of Smart and #3 of Brown had more value on draft night. Even after drafting them, Ainge should have been looming to turn those “talents” into a much bigger piece. He got Lyrie and then stopped. Big mistake.
