count me in the camp (selfishly) of taking the celtics offer if it includes tatum no matter what the knicks pick winds up being, even zion

that team would be PUTRID...for a couple of years

holiday
jackson
kenrich
moore
hill
knox
zion
draft pick
draft pick
FA...ad nauseum

the only way that works is if they also trade holiday, and that adds another year or two to the re-build. it may have the highest ceiling, but i'm not paying to sit thru that again.

Yeah but the hype surrounding Zion will dwarf that of AD.

It would be a big deal.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I want the Knicks deal despite the higher ceiling. It's extremely much lower floor. It may even be the "smarter" play long term.

I also concern myself with the team (thinking of ticket sales again) will rush a build around Zion and it will be the same overall outcome as AD especially if Zion finds himself a Rich Paul client.

I think the Celtics deal is good both now and for the future. I also think it becomes the type of team this city will seriously appreciate and would be a consistent playoff presence which I think would be more than OK with the majority of the fan base.

I don't think that team is putrid. I think you are underestimating Zion's impact and seemingly bad players can take big jumps from year 1 to year 2, See Fox.

You are also leaving out DSJ and Mitchell Robinson. But I could see them trading Jrue out of respect and bottoming out one year.
