The past 24 hours have been good to fans of the Boston Celtics.
The team advanced in a Game 7 over the Washington Wizards on Monday night only to win the NBA Draft lottery on Tuesday evening and continue to build their franchise the right way.
And general manager Danny Ainge certainly sees the fruits of his 2008 deconstruction of the team via trades to the Brooklyn Nets coming in fast and furious at this point.
This pick is a product of the Paul Pierce trade, and “The Truth” certainly let the Celtics know they should be grateful.
And look what I leave behind for the Celts on my way out #1 pick?????
