Yes, I know the Boston Celtics won last night, but that doesn’t change what I’m about to say. The construction of the Boston Celtics is confounding and it’s a reason for the team’s serious turmoil during their playoff run. I think this is a warning for David Griffin and the New Orleans Pelicans that having too many draft picks is dangerous.
I’ll clarify what I’m saying now. The Boston Celtics did an excellent job kicking off their rebuild by making a mega-deal with the Brooklyn Nets for an abundance of draft picks. In separate deals, the team acquired first-round picks from the Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, and Sacramento Kings as well.
