Translating Danny Ainge's GM speak

Danny Ainge is the master of using lots and lots of words without really saying much. So a writing gimmick I like to use is to translate his GM speak into words that fans can understand better.

Disclaimer: the block-quote words are actual quotes from him. My translations are (obviously) satire. Please don't sue me.

"My expectations are high this offseason, and yet I also know that it takes good fortune. We need the (draft lottery) ping-pong balls to bounce our way to give us the best opportunity, whether we use that pick or whether we trade that pick.
