Is it really that exciting becoming a slightly better version of Lebron's bitch for the next 3-5 years?

I'll take my chances, you bandwagon Marry
Why? You mean last game? It seemed like an insanely intense and close fight until last quarter where Celtic showed their extra gear, impressive stuff, I mean friggin Olynyk turned into a clutch BEAST
I was talking more about Wall pulling a Harden in the 4th qtr of game 7
The #1 seed playing in the East finals, while getting the #1 pick and with enough cap room to add at least one star player in free agency! LeBron is only getting older and will crumble as usual at the first sign of a rivalry!

They all pulled a harden in last quarter, actually no they didnt. Pulling a Harden is bitching out WHOLE game now. Wall and Wizards were super up to it until the end, I Harden had given up minutes into that Spurs game, for real.

Get rid of Horford and get a true star big man FFS, or sacrifice SF for a true star there, either way IT needs help, BIG TIME.

And please. I've been a Lakers fan since I was 4 years old and the 88' title. The 90s sucked for both you and I.
Wait why would a Boston fan be cocky? Litterally have the tools, assets and timing to become proper ambitious side but they don't. Seem to be too busy being content with going to conference finals and boarding prime picks. What's the end game exactly?
Btw who will they pick? Fulltz to be baby IT when they already have similar point guard? Tho they could use more offensive power amongst guards since their options are mainly defensive role players.
Or smarter if they draft that pick for a star player.

Ainge would be shopping that pick so hard.
Celtics are in great situation, enough cap space to sign another very good player. And enough assets to trade for a Butler/George...
They are very well coached and have a strong defensive identity, if anyone is dethroning Lebron anytime soon it will be the Celts.

You will see the end game during the summer. Heyward will most likely sign with Boston over the summer. Fultz is more of a baby Harden than a baby IT. They won't package that pick for a player like George unless they re-sign him first. The worst kept secret in the NBA right now is that he wants to go home and play for the Lakers when he becomes a free agent next year.

It looks that way.
Sports Illustrated reported that several teams have inquired about D'lo once the draft lottery was over.
If it were up to me, I would keep him and move him to Shooting Guard. He thrived there after the all-star break.
The end game is long term success ala the Spurs. True star players are not available for a trade and the likes of Butler and George alone will not make the Celtics a true contender anyway, while costing them an arm and a leg. Chicago is rumored to have asked for both Nets picks this and next year (probably another top-3 pick) for Butler. And then the Celts would have no guarantee they would be able to keep Butler/George for the long run even if they were worth trading for.
Point is, star players who would be worth giving up those picks for, are simply not available for a trade. The star players who are on the trading block, aren't good enough to dethrone the Cavs anyway and will cost so much that acquiring them will hurt the Celts chances for sustained success.
The Celts, if they trade for say Butler, can try and turn that Nets trade into a 1-2 year competitive window with the Cavs, or they can aim higher and try to patently build a perennial contender.

Ok, say #2 seed in the East - does that change anything about what I said earlier?

Number 1 seed that's likely to get swept in the ECFs. Y'all got number 1 because the Cavs didn't give two hoots.

Nice rundown. Thanks for explaining. I was aware of most except the contract situation of the potential stars. It's dumb to trade for someone who can't guarantee they will stay with you after a year.
Tho I wasn't thinking of Butler even if he is bit underrated, he isn't worth those extortionate asks. But George would defenitely be worthy imo.
And somehow finding a dominating big that's super star worthy, not an easy thing, but Horford cannot run shit for you there, holding you back imo, should be stretch four at best.
