If you are Danny Ainge, Boston Celtics, #1 Seed in the Eastern Conference, trying to earn a trip to the Finals this year, AND blessed with the #1 Pick in the Draft........WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
 
You take Fultz and trade away guys at the same position that have value. Use the trades to patch the rest of the roster.
 
I would package the pick and the kid they got from Cal last year, Brown? Bring back a stud SF......
 
Fire Ainge for stealing toilet paper. Give the Blazers the first pick in the draft. And trade head coaches, obviously.

If this was the NFL, I think they'd do that.

Boston should acquire talent. Draft or trade, they aren't exactly a scary #1 seed.
 
Ainge will draft Fultz. This will probably mean trading Marcus Smart who has underperformed somewhat.
 
If they take fultz they can still have near max cap room.

Take fultz, sign a max guy, figure the rest out.
 
What should Boston do with IT? Esp if there are PGs available in draft?
 
Draft Fultz, no question. Trade Bradley to a contender that needs a 1 year rental.
 
I could honestly see Ainge taking Tatum, who I think could be the best player in this draft.

Dennis Smith, Tatum and Collins are my faves in this draft of the top 10. Fultz aint bad either. Lonzo Ball is so much hype. He'll be a bust.
 
Draft Fultz, try your best to sign Hayward in free agency and then try to deal Isaiah Thomas plus more (like Smart or Bradley) for Butler or George (assuming George was interested in staying in Boston).

Of course, if Thomas goes absolutely crazypants and leads the Celtics to an upset of the Cavaliers, maybe you reconsider.
 
I'd see what I could get for Isiah before the draft and if its a lot i'd deal him and draft Fultz then try and sign someone in FA. If its not that much trade the pick to chicago for Butler.

Chi. would do this bc additionally to ^, Bos. would give Chi. their #1 for a fast/good rebuild & we could give Bos. another pick (I know they've already got some BUT picks r ALWAYS assets that give u options) to additionally make the $ monies work.

Yeah, those three are so valuable you can easily convince teams of their immense value.
 
Keep the Lakers from getting the best player in the draft (Fultz) and hope they don't pick the second best player (JJ).

It's tough though, both players are studs, and JJ could end up being the best player in this draft. Still I have faith that Magic is the kind of idiot to buy into the Ball hype. Either way the Celtics can't go wrong with JJ/Fultz.

I think Fultz is ready to make a big impact now, JJ might take a year or two to get a feel for the league and start turning the corner.
 
Draft Fultz, Sign Hayward and Griffin (trade Crowder or Bradley and others for extra cap space).
 
Draft Fultz, trade Isaiah Thomas to 76ers for no. 3 pick and take Jayson Tatum or Josh Jackson with that pick. Let it bake for the next 3-4 years and then reap rewards when Fultz and Jackson get to the level they can be at.

Chicago can just trade directly with Boston without receiving our garbage.
