I understand Nets coach Lionel Hollins was just trying to put on nice face on things, and I don't blame him. What else can you do when you're asked about the draft future of a team that won't get to use its own first-round pick until 2019? Still, what he said the other night was laugh-out-loud funny:
After being asked about BKN's lack of 1st-rounders, Lionel Hollins points out that 2nd rounders can be bought & Isaiah Thomas was last pick.
Here's Hollins' full quote, via CBS Boston's Brian Robb:
There's always second-round picks that are bought.
