So about that Memphis pick...

Error 0:

Last spring the Celtics had a chance to draft twice in the lottery. Their hopes for a high pick from the Kings had all but vanished as Sacramento improved quite a bit last season. Danny Ainge held onto that valuable Lakers/Kings pick and it fell all the way to #14 by the time it conveyed to the Celtics. There was also a Grizzlies pick in play as the draft lottery approached. It was top 8 protected and reportedly the Celtics didn't want it to convey in the 2019 lottery. And almost to a man Celtics reporters and bloggers agreed with that.
