Celtics Formula Smarter than 76ers

I think what the Boston Celtics are doing is admirable. Instead of tanking every year as a form of "rebuilding", they have decided to obtain assets. The Celtics have acquired many draft picks over the past couple years, and now are set up to do great things in the future. This team could very well make the playoffs, and maybe even give a team like the Atlanta Hawks a run for their money in the first round. The team is getting better, the coach is showing signs of improvement and the team will have many opportunities in the near future to improve through the draft and free agency. The chances of landing a franchise player in the draft are slim, we have seen many times teams like the Bulls and Cavaliers receive the number one overall pick and were no where near the worst team in the league. There is no point in tanking if the team is good enough to make the playoffs, even in the weak eastern conference. Go for it now, and continue to improve, make your team a more attractive spot for free agents, that's what the Celtics are doing.
