If you look at the ESPN draft tracker - even now, the day after the draft - and you click on "teams" to see who your favorite team got, here's who they have for the Celtics:
Julian Phillips, Tennessee (with the 5th pick of the 2nd round)
So I woke up, read who this guy is, and thought, oh man what a terrible pick. Then I came here and followed all the shenanigans and realized that that's not at all who Boston ended up with.
So can ANYONE here tell me why the NBA does it this way? If Boston trades the #25 pick for the #38 and #39, for example, why not just change in the actual draft who is picking, like everyone else does? Instead of having the team who had the original pick make the pick and then trade it (i.e., Boston picking for some other team at #25), just change the logo to reflect who actually has that pick?
It's insane that right now, the next day, I'm seeing a guy picked for Boston that wasn't picked for Boston.
