Draft day is finally here!
Open for business. I'll try and get the big board updated as the evening progresses although the increased traffic to the site will make it difficult at times.
-
many thanks donoghus! a tp for creating a great thread on a great day for a great topic! ;D
this will be one of the more enjoyable draft days in a while. the celtics have sooooo many possible options, most of which are variations of "good."
should be a fun evening folks. let's be positive and let's keep in mind that even though ainge drafts player X, it doesnt mean that player X will be a celtic for long. ;D
-
I'm hoping we can trade up with the other picks to take someone interesting to have two players (ala Olynyk... would be very happy with Sabonis, who I think is def gone before 16). I'm doubting any big trade happens.
And I still want Chriss. I'll take the gamble.
-
My prediction.... Celtics pick Bender with the #3.
My reason, the Celtics have not leaked any intention to draft him. That is where they go guys. If they do not trade the pick they pick bender.
At 16 they take Sabonis and they take Maker at 23.

Yeah, guessing the NBA is just testing out their graphics screens for tonight. Still funny to see.

I just realized I have a performance review with my boss at the same time as the Draft kicks off! I wonder if I can get away with NBATV on my phone in the meeting??
Any ideas would be much appreciated... ;D

Dunn or Brown. Probably Dunn and fleecing Philly
-
Woj- several teams trying to get #8 from SAC, offering future picks.
-
Hoping the Celts take Dunn or Brown, I guess.
A trade for a second top ten pick would be great.

Does anyone know how long each pick is

Does anyone know how long each pick is
5 min for the first round.
2 min for the second round.

Usually greater than 6 feet :)

Just twenty minutes away. This is exciting... the #3 pick plus 7 others. I have nothing to do tonight, but to watch this.
I have no idea who they should take at #3. I've talked myself in and out of a few guys. I think I'll be most excited if it's Bender followed by Brown. They are the biggest question marks with possibly the highest upsides and if Ainge selects one of them, then both he and Stevens must see something they like.
Regardless of what happens, this is going to be fun.

Probably not, but I'm not buying any rumors at this point. There's so much misinformation out there.

Just why would that info. get leaked 1/2 hour before the draft? Danny is notoriously tight lipped and from what iv'e heard doesn't even tell Brad from the sound of it. If true it certainly has purpose.

Anyone else going to watch the Vertical draft show on Yahoo?

Scroll on ESPN say philly might trade both okafor and noel to reach their draft night goals...
-
Hield, Murray or Dunn, any of the 3 will be a good pick, GO CELTICS!!!!!
-
Anyone else going to watch the Vertical draft show on Yahoo?
I might. Woj isn't there on the show though. I want to hear straight from him.
-
Does the draft start at 7 PM or 7:30?
-
Sacramento is trading guard Marco Belinelli to Charlotte for the No. 22 pick, league sources tell @TheVertical.
-

7

Sacramento is trading guard Marco Belinelli to Charlotte for the No. 22 pick, league sources tell @TheVertical.
I wonder if they have a deal in place for 8, and that allowed them to make this trade.
-

I might. Woj isn't there on the show though. I want to hear straight from him.
Interesting. I thought he would be.
-

Coverage at 7, draft at 8.
-
Jackie Mackmullan was just asked about the Bender rumor and she responded that means they will probably take him. She was kidding, but her point is there is so much gamesmanship going on right now that you shouldn't believe what you hear.
-

I think he's at the actual draft. So I doubt he's on the show. Maybe I'm wrong though
-
Scroll on ESPN say philly might trade both okafor and noel to reach their draft night goals...
I'd love that to be true. Would involve a third team. But saying they "might trade" isn't exactly going out on a limb...

Doesn't say that it "might" trade both of them to Boston or both in the same deal.
-
Kings are getting lots of offers for the #8 pick. I wonder if we could dangle Rozier and maybe some later pick to them for the number 8 and have one of the guards (Murray or Hield) fall to 8 to deal to Philly.
-

Coverage at 7, draft at 8.
thanks TP

730 we should be picking around 745

If true and it's both, I'd try to instantly flip Okafor and filler for Butler.

Right, they might trade one to get something to add with the other to trade to the Celtics.

If Philly is serious about trading both Noel and Oakfor ....
Then they must be really SKY high on Embiid

rookie of the year candidate. If healthy they say he's on a towns level.
Hinkie made wise moves.

It would be great if people don't post the picks before it's announced on TV. Not that I expect people to follow that. :)

Okay, time to look like an more of an idiot than usual, lol ;D. I wish we could do IT and KO for 6, Smart and Young for 24 and 26, and Crowder for 12 and 21, and then end up with -
3 - Kris Dunn
6 - Jakob Poeltl
12 - Thon Maker (the only pick with which I'm willing to gamble)
16 - Caris Levert
21 - Taurean Prince
23 - GP II
24 - Pascal Siakam
26 - Ben Bentil
31 - Jarrod Uthoff/Brogdon (I assume the Warriors or Spurs will take Malcolm, and the same goes for Gbinije)
35 - Sheldon McClellan
45 - Danuel House/Daniel Hamilton
51 - Jameel Warney/Georges Niang
58 - Daniel Ochefu
Undrafted free agents - Tonye Jekiri, Nick Faust, and any of the guys I've mentioned at 45-58. Man am I going to look really dumb, lol ;D.

He missed 2 seasons because of stress fractures. And he's going to spend his career jamming the entire 250 lbs of him on his lower legs. Even if he's healthy right now, having that type of confidence is insane.

Even though everyone is saying the draft picks are useless, I'm seeing on Twitter that these first round draft picks are the most valuable that people have ever seen with who they're trading them for (12 for Teague, 20 for Young, Belineli even got 23?!).

Celtics with 8 picks getting a lot of run on the broadcast.

they are really talking about the cs...
-
why are is this starting at bottom of hour.
CELTICS should not help Sixers. If they are so greedy they want to keep the #1 pick then they should not be gifted the 3. The only way we should give them 3 is for 1. #1 for #3 and #16 plus Rozier.
-
Bender taking over Chriss at 4. I'd LOVE to try and get Sacramento's pick if Chriss falls! His ceiling is ridiculous!
-
Stein reiterating that we couldn't trade #3 for Hayward, butler, Parker or Middleton. "Celtics got shot down on all of them."

I strongly disagree. You must do anything you can do to get better. At this point in the rebuild you cant worry about helping other teams. You do whats best for you.
-

Twitter.

how does Yahoo know before the commish announces?

But Don, you're the world's greatest moderator. I believe in you. If anyone can do it, it's you! :police:
-

woj, ford and stein usually tweet them a few minutes before as they hear about them.
-

Woj tweets. Even Ford gets them sometimes, too. I see them on my Bleacher Report app.

Wait, someone gave up a 1st rounder for Belineli? Some GMs...

social media killing TV live cast. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
-
I still disagree with them talking about positionless basketball when it comes to Philly. It doesn't matter if you play "positionless" basketball when you have three to four guys that can't play together.
-
Blah blah blah Ben Simmons we don't have Simmons let's talk about #3 pick ESPN!

Why announce ahead of the draft that we decided to pass on Bender already? Maybe they did a favor to some other team by announcing this now, to facilitate trades.

As good as IT is, he's best suited as a 6th man on a future Celtics contender. Dunn has the chance to be that top PG that almost every contender needs. He's the BPA here.
-
Williams still saying Lakers should take Dunn not Ingram, because he doesn't trust Russell to be a franchise cornerstone. I wish he was the Lakers' GM!

I hope we get Noel , Oakfor , and trade the whole chee er ree. For.Boogie
I think DA is loading up the treasure chest to offer a kings ransom for Boogie

So what are the final predictions, guys? Trade or naw? I think we end up doing the deal with Philly, but it's not a straight up trade for either Noel or Okafor, other pieces involved.

I think it'd be 7 and Galinari to move to 3 for them. That's what I was thinking anyways, not Galinari for number 3.

Great news. Didn't think Ainge was that stupid.
Thank god!!
Big load of my chest now, I was pretty sure Ainge wasn't that stupid..but there's always that hint of uncertainty.
-
Wow via David Aldridge, Denver tried to move up to 3, but thought Boston wanted too much.
i.e., Galinari.
I have zero interest in Galinari for #3. Eeek.
Same.
-
Williams still saying Lakers should take Dunn not Ingram, because he doesn't trust Russell to be a franchise cornerstone. I wish he was the Lakers' GM!
Seriously... could you imagine if the Lakers actually pulled a 180 like that? I'd be jumping in the streets
They did it last year. Everyone assumed Okafor would be going #2.

Good news ;D

Great news. Didn't think Ainge was that stupid.
Yeah, he's letting them all know he is taking Dunn and you better make your best offer if you want him.
Pretty much this. Makes too much sense
-
I think Ainge gets burned by all this gamesmanship and we end up keeping way too many, if not all, of our picks.
Teams don't want to help Ainge pad his GM resume. Front office guys are competitive too.
-
Told Celtics and Philly engaging in last-minute talks for No. 3. We'll see who -- if anyone -- blinks first. ... Sixers really want Dunn.
Steve bulpett
-
So what are the final predictions, guys? Trade or naw? I think we end up doing the deal with Philly, but it's not a straight up trade for either Noel or Okafor, other pieces involved.
I agree but with the caveat that the trade might not be announced til after we pull the trigger on Dunn.
-

It was certainly more. That's terrible value.
I'm sure he means Gallinari and the No. 7 for No. 3 ... I would do Nurkic and the No. 7 for No. 4 ...
-
Kings trying to get Russell from Lakers. I'm guessing that's without Boogie, though.
I think Danny should still try the #8 and WCS for #3 move. Float it to them, Danny! Maybe they'll bite on the clock.

Chicago, Boston still talking about a Jimmy Butler trade, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Me too. I think people are waiting to see if Danny is bluffing tonight on Dunn or not.

Sacramento has been heavily engaged in trade talks all week and sources say one player they've tried to land is the Lakers' D'Angelo Russell

Maybe with the Sixers desperate now they'll send out both Okafor (Chicago) and Noel (Boston) in a three-way deal to get the #3 and some other smaller assets!

A 3-teamer that brings Noel and Butler without breaking up the core (too much) is basically my dream.

Butler is probably our first choice. Okafor is plan b. Plan c is to take Dunn and try trading the guard log jam ... With lots and lots of other options being considered.

Alright, just about game time.
We are all now in this together, guys. Best of luck to you, wherever you're physically located.
We will deal with any abortions together afterward.

It's Noel. Okafor isn't an option anymore, apparently.
-
Crowder involved in Butler talks per K.C. Johnson!
Fine with me. Crowder has gotten a bit overrated around here. I still remember when everyone here thought we got screwed in the Rondo trade.
-
A lot of the next year for a lot of the NBA is riding on the third pick .
The land scape could really change ......
Or not ......could be interesting

Too many draft picks. We need to get rid of picks, not get more. Kind of feels like filler.
I want quality, not quantity.

You just know that Butler is on KD's list, too.

I can't stand the ESPN broadcast, it is basically a pro-Sixers show this year.

Honestly the value some thought Okafor and Noel had couldn't be more off. Noel or Okafor, plus two first round picks and another low end prospect

Take the 2 picks from Philly and Get MONROE!!

I've loved Noel for a long time. That'd be pretty awesome, but his contract is up soon and some of you told me all year he was garbage. Lol. It would be a win for Boston and a win for hinkie.
-
Stein just affirmed that it's Noel, 24, 26, and Covington from Philly.
No thanks. Garbage.
Ditto.

Simmons to 76ers, who didn't see that coming?! ;D ;D ;D 8)
-
we dont need more firsts though from philly. bad deal if we do that.
-
We do not need two picks in the 20s. Noel is not enough.
Agreed. This trade makes no sense from the Celtics standpoint. Noel would be nice. Covington comes off the bench. But there's no possible way the Cs can use NINE picks tonight, especially when the above trade takes up two more roster spots.
-
I'm on a stream so it's behind - DraftExpress shows Ingram at #2 and Cleveland at #3. What happened?

Okafor and Nerlens for #3

dunn is the dollar all those other dudes are quarters.

Maybe I missed it, I switched over to CSNNE coverage for a bit. CBS looked more pumped and excited than I have ever seen him. Something must be going on.
-
take dunn go after butler. we can still get okafor or noel if we want later.
-
I'm on a stream so it's behind - DraftExpress shows Ingram at #2 and Cleveland at #3. What happened?
We got love?

Okafor and Nerlens for #3
Flipped to Sac and picks
For Boogie

There they fixed it. I was wondering what was going on.
-
Woj reiterates talks are serious with Philly and Chicago.
-
Avery Bradley also has been discussed in one permutation of Bulls-Celtics talks, per source.
-
if we can pair okafor with boogie then we can talk. Or philly gives us saric.
-
Sounds like Celtics are talking to both 76ers and Bulls about No. 3 pick.
Kc

#3 on dx shows boston again.

Will LAL do the right thing?

I would happily take that Sixers deal, then start trading more of those first rounders ...
-
Was away from 7 to 7:30 and trying to catch up. What is happening??? I am seeing a few different trades on this thread. WHat's the latest?
-
Bulpett: GM just texts to say Ainge has been playing hardball all day, adds, "By this point, he'd better walk away with something."
-
Can LA screw this up?
-
Will LAL do the right thing?
They didn't last year ...LOl
I do 't trust em
-
Can LA screw this up?
In a heart beat
-
We're on the clock!
-
here we go!!!!!!!!!! I will be shocked if it's not Dunn.
-
There goes Ingram. It's Dunn or bust.
-
Bulls are seriously considering trading two maximum salaried All-Star players on consecutive days. Wow.
-
well, so much for that 1% chance Ingram slides to #3

ON THE CLOCK

My 7-year old son suggested #3 and #16 to Philly for Ben Simmons. If only...
Mike

celtics select Dragan Bender
-
Ok, LA gets the stoner...
-
On the clock! We have to pick now, right? And then we'll trade it afterwards if we do?
-
We next yalll....i been waiting 2 months for this...youtubing a lot of nights spent like i was the one drafting.
-
Well there s that
DA probably had to,wait out the LA pick to,be sure he was promising the right player to,the right team in a deal
-
Obviously we don't have to make the Dunn trade until later in the evening.
-
honestly, if its between bradley and crowder what the hells the difference.
-
Sickened by the Lakers pick. Cannot believe once again they get a star in the making (maybe 2) BEFORE they inevitably use their cap space to grab a superstar. I Hate, Hate, Hate them.
-
Officially on the clock lets go DA make us proud
-
hmm, CSN proposing Noel, Covington, 24, 26 for #3. that would be a haul
-
It's time!!
-
Lol, Jay Bilas. Who did Ingram ever post up?
-
Just take Dunn. The Noel deal is junk.
-
i really think ingram is overrated. not overrated but not a superstar. Maybe james worthy if he can put on weight.
-
We take Dunn
And make teams sweat
Or trade AB , Smart or Crowderto Bulls
-
Lol, Jay Bilas. Who did Ingram ever post up?
It was rare but he actually did have some awesome post moves when he did. Beautiful up and under. If he got strong enough to do it he has the natural touch.
-
hmm, CSN proposing Noel, Covington, 24, 26 for #3. that would be a haul
I know im in the minority but I still Okafor to Noels.
-
Aldridge says we're not doing a deal with philly.

Yeah, it's Butler, Dunn or bust

Well you just made me feel better even if it may not be true.
-
If we turn down a Noel deal like that, I will never forgive Ainge. Unless it's for an even better player.
-
I believe the Celtics take Dunn and try to hammer a deal out later with Philly or the Bulls.
-
The Celtics need a Butler! C'mon, Danny! Get it done!
-
cant breathe
-
i think Noel will go to NO at 6 and Philly takes Murray.
-
I'm guessing we take Dunn, and several picks later a trade will be announced!
+1

-

You'd have to hand it to hinkie if they pull that off. They traded holiday for Noel and saric, acquired lots of late picks, I think they signed convington from d-league ... And now to be able to turn half of that holiday trade into the #3 pick ... Kinda validates the process.
Good for Boston too if we do it. Noel can be a defensive player of the year. He'd be an awesome fit if we kept him.
-
They're taking Dunn for sure. Then we will see.
-
If we turn down a Noel deal like that, I will never forgive Ainge. Unless it's for an even better player.
It's an awful deal and that's why it won't be accepted. It makes no sense for the Cs.
-
Aldridge says we're not doing a deal with philly.
Thank god, we. Can just sign noel next year
-
If we turn down a Noel deal like that, I will never forgive Ainge. Unless it's for an even better player.
Yeah, I'll be pretty ticked if we keep Dunn rather than trade it for Noel, or at least something for Noel.
-
Dun in Grrenn
-
Bulls want jae and 3 not ab and 3
-
Just take Dunn. The Noel deal is junk.
Yeah, it's Butler, Dunn or bust
if they take Dunn, you know a trade of either Dunn or Smart is coming some time tonight

its going to be bender or brown lol

oh no

Lol to get a 3rd pick in a draft everyone says is incredibly weak three years later while throwing in two late firsts? What are you smoking man?
-
Are you kidding???...
-
Must have a trade given the delay
-
Wow I'm shocked.
-
Sounds like we struck out.
Can always make deals later. Make the other teams sweat and outbid one another down the line.
-
espn is saying brown. i think ainge needs to get kicked in the head.
-
Looks lik Dunn
-
Jaylen always felt like an Ainge guy.
No clear position, can't shoot, great strength and handle. Workout superstar.
But at least they took a high upside guy.
-
UGGHHHHHHHHHHHH BROWN?!

Ha

WHAT. Brown

ugh!

Cool. I like Jaylen Brown.

Jalen Rose prefers Noel to Okafor, but still gives big no to Sixer deal of Noel with Cov., 24, and 26, further pushing LarBrd33's opinions into the mud.

Meh.
At least it isn't Bender.

I love it! I never wanted Dunn. Brown could turn into a beast!

Noooooooooooooooo
Worst possible outcome!!!
Unless this is an indication that Chicago wants Crowder.

So no trades!!?!?!?! What happened ????

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......

jaylen brown isn't horrible. Kawii LEonard maybe. Brad Stevens pick
-
Fire Danny. I was completely on board with him until this. Fire him
-
Noooooooooooooooo
Worst possible outcome!!!
Unless this is an indication that Chicago wants Crowder.
Chicago wanted Dunn though
-
I'm good with Brown just seemed so set on a trade. I love our guards so I'm happy we aren't making a mess of the roster.
I bet we trade up.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....................
-
whoo hoo Jaylen Brown!
-
ainge is a Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing idiot. draft Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing loser.

lol, okay, Ainge
Source regarding Celtics trade offers: "Not realistic deals." (https://twitter.com/AdamHimmelsbach/status/746128358593937408)
-
Brown???? not what I was hoping. looks like this pick is staying here
-
Yuck!
I hope they trade it.
-
This may mean we're getting butler. Move crowder and or Bradley and butler can go either spot
-
Screw Danny, really!
-
Sounds like we struck out.
Can always make deals later. Make the other teams sweat and outbid one another down the line.
i hear jaylen brown is a poor mans justice Winslow. Neat.
I like him a lot better then Winslow...but I was never a fan of Winslow so that's not saying much.
The kid has potential no question about it, but [dang]...was really hoping to see Dunn's name up there.
-
Dissapointed. Had really hoped for a trade here.
Dunn seems much more coveted
-
Jaylen always felt like an Ainge guy.
No clear position, can't shoot, great strength and handle. Workout superstar.
But at least they took a high upside guy.
So does this officially mean we were bluffing with the Dunn thing? Never made sense to have 7 guards.
-
Trading down with Minnesota maybe???
-
Fully agree with the Tyreke Evans comparison. And Ainge loved Tyreke. Always looked like an Ainge player.
-
Jaylen Rose said Brown reminds him of... Tyreke Evans.
Not sure how I feel about that :-\
-
What the ****. Ainge hates basketball players. That's it. Confirmed tonight.
When will we get talent? Why not Chris then? Grrr
-
Ugh...Just puked my dinner.....why not trade down if we are taking him....at a loss for words..Hope I am wrong, but I do not like this at all...watch Suns get a godfather offer from sixers now for Dunn
-
Sounds like we struck out.
Can always make deals later. Make the other teams sweat and outbid one another down the line.
i hear jaylen brown is a poor mans justice Winslow. Neat.
So often the back handed or negative comment. Why?
Obviously Ainge values brown more than he does Noel or okafur. Let's see if they get two top 8 picks for philly shall we?
-
Man with so much build up to this pick I feel DA laid an egg.
-
I would have preferred Noel and the two late 1sts
-
I love it! I never wanted Dunn. Brown could turn into a beast!
I have to trust that if DA and CBS see this guy as being a better risk than Dunn, Bender, Murray and Hield, he must be something.
-
Sorry, my TV must be broken. I thought ESPN said that we picked Jaylen Brown.
Mike
-
At least all of these picks were free...
Can't believe Danny didn't make a trade. Not good value for pick 3.
-
Interesting. Not who I was hoping for, but the pick is defensible. Arguably the highest upside of anybody available at 3, with the possible exception of Chriss (who also has a lower floor).
-
Yuck!
I hope they trade it.
I m drinking heavy
Just .......don't understand
-
Wait for the other shoe to drop....
-
I would have preferred Noel and the two late 1sts
Ugghhh me too. Maybe we can still get Noel with 16 or so. Absolutely do not like this.
-
This will either be a great pick or a terrible one. And we will know in a couple of years.
-
At least this probably means Evan Turner is gone.
-
HAHAHAHA
Purgatory !!
-
Jaylen Rose said Brown reminds him of... Tyreke Evans.
Not sure how I feel about that :-\
Tyreke coming out of college was awesome. If he hadn't ended up in Sac his career might have been completely different.
-
Ahahahahahahaha ;D. And so the night of comedy begins...
-
This is beyond awful...I'm speechless...
-
I would have preferred Noel and the two late 1sts
If Phoenix now turns #4 into Noel and 2 1sts, it will be depressing.
-

What do you mean "why"? You know exactly why.
He admitted years ago he was a Supersonics fan who just adopted the Celtics after they moved to Oklahoma City.
-
Man with so much build up to this pick I feel DA laid an egg.
I think so.
This could sink Aniges ship
-
Chicago wanted Dunn! I can't believe it! Take Dunn and trade him!!!
-
Horrible pick if kept. You're talking about a guy who can't shoot, worst assist/turnover in the NCAA, because he's smart & athletic... at #3. This guy should be closer to #16.
UGH.
-
As good a pick as I could ask for, still need shooters!
-
Fully agree with the Tyreke Evans comparison. And Ainge loved Tyreke. Always looked like an Ainge player.
Tyreke without the point guard skills.
What exactly is that in the NBA?
-
Fire AINGE NOW---before the 16th pick....Maybe we can get an actual Basketball Player---Ainge SUCKS at drafting....SUCKS--!
-
Definitely not trading that pick...Hope we can combine our later picks and move up a bit..We still need a shooter...maybe in free agency in 2017...
-
KC Johnson: Jae Crowder has been involved in the Bulls-Celtics talks, per a source. 9 mins ago – via Twitter KCJHoop
Brown, jae and picks for butler?
-
Hey if ainge likes jaylen Brown more than Noel + Covington + two late 1sts, he must be pretty special.
So I'm cool with it. Looking forward to the next few years of waiting to see him take a leap.
-
We have no idea if this is for the C's, Minny, Sac. who knows.
-
Jimmy is probably a twolf now
-
At least all of these picks were free...
Can't believe Danny didn't make a trade. Not good value for pick 3.
DA can only do half the trade, maybe the Bulls wanted too much. They may have wanted 2017 pick as well on top of #3, AB/Crowder.
-
I'm happy about this!!
Listen Dunn would of been nice too. But he never came in for a workout , like he thinks he is bigger than the Celts
Brown came in twice.
Also Dunn avg less than 10 ppg in his first two seasons
Brown did 14ppg in year 1. If he stayed another season, I be he would score 20ppg and up many other stats
Brown is a good choice.
I think the Celts didn't get what they wanted for 3. And went for Brown.
-
Jaylen Rose said Brown reminds him of... Tyreke Evans.
Not sure how I feel about that :-\
No reason to take Jaylen Rose too seriously ;D
-
Oh boy, Dragan Bender at #4.
I hope he is not legit. Hell of a miss by Ainge if Bender is the real deal.
-
Let's see how the rest of the draft pans out. Brown is not a terrible pick and it may be that the Dunn trades just weren't as real as reported
-
Minny gonna rule the league if you people are right about Dunn. Lol.
-
We've graduated from undersized guards to undersized forwards.
I'm actually good with the pick, although I'm disappointed that we didn't get a big trade. Might as well go for the guy with the upside.
Mike
-
This is beyond awful...I'm speechless...
I right there with you. Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. Ainge. Get some low post help.
-
Jaylen Rose said Brown reminds him of... Tyreke Evans.
Not sure how I feel about that :-\
Tyreke coming out of college was awesome. If he hadn't ended up in Sac his career might have been completely different.
Yeah, probably...
still not feeling any better
-
To be fair, if DA and CBS felt that JB is a better get than Noel, Covington plus 24 and 26 then I have to believe that they expect Brown to be dang good.
-
Suns get Bender, wow. Dunn falling?
-
Most of you wanted a wing, you got your wing
-
I can't see Thibs passing on Dunn. Wow.
-
Man with so much build up to this pick I feel DA laid an egg.
I think so.
This could sink Aniges ship
He did just sign an extension.
-
Well, maybe Chriss will now fall and we can snag him up, too!
-
Ugh..there goes my pick at 4..time will tell which of these 2 are the better player..Hope Ainge is correct and I am wrong...
-
Bender to the Suns. watch him become the player CoachBo says he could never be.
-
This thread should be saved. There are going to be a LOT of people on this thread who will be sorely embarrassed by their remarks tonight.
-
Let's see how the rest of the draft pans out. Brown is not a terrible pick and it may be that the Dunn trades just weren't as real as reported
I agree with the italicized part. Said they were close to a trade earlier, but it fell apart. Same thing that they said at the trade deadline. I've always thought that the one at the trade deadline was just smoke being blown up our collective arses. Would not be surprised if it were the same here.
Mike
-
I don't see why people are mad about Brown he has probably the highest potential out of any of the prospects that were available. It's not Danny's fault nobody wanted to make a good offer
-
Man....Wyc just said this is the guy Ainge and Stevens really wanted for the long term, and there were no deal that they liked , everyone was trying to rip them off according to Wyc
-
Yuck!
I hope they trade it.
I m drinking heavy
Just .......don't understand
He will be stuck behind evan turner or worse
D league!
-
Love the fact that people don't consider that Danny didn't try to get Butler. Sounds to me like they thought they had him and then the Bulls got cold feet. When he knew Bulls were going to have him overpay for Butler, he wouldn't do the deal, and when he knew the Sixers wouldn't overpay for the third pick, he took the guy that he really wanted. Simple as that. I'm withholding judgment until I know what Brown is made of.
-
Suns get Bender, wow. Dunn falling?
LOL. Dunn is prob going to fire his agent after tonight
like shoot I just lost some money. Should of went in for a workout
Wolves prob take him next...Maybe!
this is how players drop like a rock. You think you are bigger than org and don't workout for them
-
To be fair, if DA and CBS felt that JB is a better get than Noel, Covington plus 24 and 26 then I have to believe that they expect Brown to be dang good.
I definitely prefer Brown to that bag of crap from Philly...
-
Turrible nite
I'm going to sleep aweful
This is actually worse than last year s debacle
-
Man with so much build up to this pick I feel DA laid an egg.
I think so.
This could sink Aniges ship
He did just sign an extension.
Why do you think he signed it before the draft? ;) ;D
-
LOL at Phoenix, drafting the stiff.
Hahahahah.
-
Vertical Sources: Chicago and Minnesota talks for Jimmy Butler broke down. Bulls wanted Zach LaVine, not Ricky Rubio.
-
I don't bother with college basketball but here is what I love about jaylen brown - he's 19 years old and over 6'4.
Really didn't want to draft an old man guard.
-
Back to hating Ainge for the time being.
-
Wyc told the Garden people that Brown is our guy and is staying.
I think this is just a failure by Danny again to get anything done. I don't think he's realistic in his trade offers and expects too much. Ridiculous.
-
Awesome. We took a guy whose only weakness is that he's bad at basketball.
-
I don't bother with college basketball but here is what I love about jaylen brown - he's 19 years old and over 6'4.

lol TP at least there's that

Wyc basically said there are no trades going on, they didn't work out.
-
Funny how Dunn is now at 5th pick...too much Dunn, Dunn, Dunn and of course Celtics and Suns don't pick him..Bender talk was quiet as a mouse over past week...Knew he was gonna get snagged no later than 5...
Danny puts a lot of power in the personal workouts...No doubt Brown won him over there in his killer workout...Bender must have laid a big egg this past Tuesday in Boston...
-
I like Brown he was my first choice, him or Hield! Good job! Glad we didn t pick Bender.
-
This thread should be saved. There are going to be a LOT of people on this thread who will be sorely embarrassed by their remarks tonight.

HAHAHA Lets wait another 3 years for this kid to MAYBE be legit
-
Im happy with Brown, The Cs will probably end up with another top 3 pick this time next year... its not the end of the world
-
Danny likes smart players Jaylen attended Cal. (rollin eyes)

Uh huh...
-
man, danny has some of you on that kool aid. dude's a disaster in the draft and you wide eyed dummys just eat it up.
-
not upset with Brown -- he figures to be a decent player at least -- very solid defensively. more upset that with all the supposed possibilities for trades we came away with a guy who's a good 2-3 years from being what he hope he can be.
found it interesting Wyc was getting some boos when he was talking to the crowd in the Garden
-
Ainge is really a double agent for the Lakers
His boss is Mitch
-
I'm happy with Brown. ;D
-
A lot of you guys are going to love Brown. This reaction is very silly.
-
Maybe Jaylen Brown really did hit 79 or whatever it was out of 100 3's in his workout with Boston. In that Thomas bit with him for the draft special he was knocking down 3 after 3, even with Isiah being incredibly annoying.
-
Funny how Dunn is now at 5th pick...too much Dunn, Dunn, Dunn and of course Celtics and Suns don't pick him..Bender talk was quiet as a mouse over past week...Knew he was gonna get snagged no later than 5...

most of the stuff you read heading into the draft is nonsense. The Dunn as consensus 3rd best player narrative happened out of nowhere. A week ago it was established that it was a crap shoot.
-
Wyc basically said there are no trades going on, they didn't work out.
They never do.
I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football.
-
Thibs & Dunn. I love it.
End of Rubio in Minny.

Man the Wolves are going to be awesome

Another draft, another whiff.
Fireworks? BWAHAHAHAH.
Y'all can forget about Durant. He isn't joining this team.

I am straight up TERRIFIED of the Brown vs Bender vs Dunn comps five years from now. TERRIFIED.

Uh huh...
Yeah, horsecrap. There are just as many reports saying Danny's deals weren't realistic. I think he expects to assblast other GM's and win every trade by a lopsided margin. Inexcusable.
-
A lot of you guys are going to love Brown. This reaction is very silly.
hes got some size and he's 19. I'm happy with it. I heard he's a poor man's Winslow. Ainge obviously wanted a guy like that.
I really didn't want to take some 23 year old 6'3 player. We are good on little guys.
-
Im happy with Brown, The Cs will probably end up with another top 3 pick this time next year... its not the end of the world
That is exactly how ownership wants you to think. Every move is acceptable every year because the team can always try again next season.
-
Wyc basically said there are no trades going on, they didn't work out.
They never do.
I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football.
Funny how often we hear that from Wyc. Seems like the other 29 teams are always trying to take advantage of us.
The problem must be the other 29 teams in the league, right Wyc? ::)

I never bought it or agreed with it. I just thought other teams loved him so much Ainge could leverage that or even would go as far as to take him and do so after the draft. But I always wanted Chriss and then Brown so I'm very happy. Brown fits Stevens so well.
-
Ainge makes the right pick again, just havent been in position to draft a star
-
Love the Jaylen Brown pick. Total swing for the fences pick, but a lot to be optimistic about.
This guy can slash to the rim and get to the line, that's a skill that would translate to the pros. Physical tools to develop into an insane defender, capable of defending all positions. Good size.
Excited.
-
A lot of you guys are going to love Brown. This reaction is very silly.
I am happy with him. From what I've seen and heard about him, we won't have to worry about off the court stuff like would would from an Okafor and Noel. The knock on him was shooting and he seems to have worked on that. His workout numbers were on par with Wiltjer who I think is the best shooter in the draft.
-
Every team in the league is better at drafting than us.
-
Buddy next?
-
So, if Philly doesn't get a pg prospect, do we offer up Rozier and 16 for him? Would they bite?
-
Am I the only one who noticed Wyc said they had things lined up for later in the draft if they wanted but they were going to see how things played out???
-
Hey if ainge likes jaylen Brown more than Noel + Covington + two late 1sts, he must be pretty special.
So I'm cool with it. Looking forward to the next few years of waiting to see him take a leap.
^this.
no reason to lose faith in a pick from the first 30 mins...
remember how disappointed ppl were when we drafted Rozier and he turned out OK.

Please go search the "final draft poll" from earlier today. I predicted the Cs would take Brown.
Thanks for playing but you lost. Have a nice day!
-
Brown really could end up being one of the three best players in this draft.
Question he has to answer is, can he get by NBA guards and wings, or will he only be able to score against bigs? Also, who does he defend at next level? If he can switch onto guards and wings and hold his own against smaller frontcourt players, he could be something.
Or he might be a shorter Harrison Barnes.
-
My favorite not so favorite quotes about Brown, our new Celtics player
"He finished his freshman year with 105 turnovers to only 67 assists, a brutal ratio for even a bigger player. It was compounded by Brown's sky-high usage rate of 31.2 percent -- No. 20 in the country and first in the Pac-12. He's just not skilled enough offensively to be ending more than 31 percent of his team's possessions with a shot, turnover or free throw." Ugh....I am sick....when is our next pick?....maybe we take another guard with our 16 who cant shoot...
"Marcus Smart, Gordon Hayward and Tyreke Evans were the only players drafted in the top 10 recently with comparable three-point percentages. " Great...now he is teammate with Smart..together they stink at shooting together....
"If Brown dedicates himself to becoming a defensive stopper and improving as a shooter, he should have a fine NBA career. Just don't put too much on his plate at first. As Cal saw, he isn't ready for that yet." Perfect..another roll player whose not ready and might not ever be anything but that...

Not Browns fault he was drafted
10 spots too early
Good Grief Danny ......are you brain dead?

So, my guess about bender was wrong. But I liked brown, especially after he did so well shooting in the work out.
Regardless, now he is a Celtic so I cheer him on.
-
A lot of you guys are going to love Brown. This reaction is very silly.
hes got some size and he's 19. I'm happy with it. I heard he's a poor man's Winslow. Ainge obviously wanted a guy like that.
I really didn't want to take some 23 year old 6'3 player. We are good on little guys.
I heard he is justice winslow 2.0
-
Guys, just imagine the Smart, Bradley, Crowder, Brown, Mickey lineup.
They'll get a million steals and never score outside of transition.
-
This reminds me of when we passed on Tony Parker---when EVERYONE said we should take him.
-
I like Brown I really do. I think the kid is going to be good.....but why was there no trade down available??? They could've gotten him at 6 or so. Another year of nothing moves wise? Just select all these guys and hope you hit gin?

I think he is a rich man's Winslow. But could also end up being Jeff Green.
I like the pick, I think he is better than the rest of the pack, more athletic, he seems smart and mature, just question his toughness.

Pho, are we somewhat on the same page? That doesn't happen very often.
He does have the talent to be one of the best guys from this draft. Where I'd disagree is whether or not he can improve is shot and his handle a bit. If he has an outside shot he's going to kill opposing teams.
As for his defense, I'm not worried. He's already good and he has the athleticism to play with anyone.
-

No one was talking about Dunn as the third pick or the third best player a week or so ago. He just suddenly shot up.
I'm happy we took Brown. Dunn averaged almost as many turnovers as points when he was Brown's age. Brown is going to get better. His game is raw. In games I watched him play late in the season, the commentators were raving about how much he improved during the season. He has good size and is an explosive athlete. His 77 3 pointers made in his workout is a nice sign.

This thread should be saved. There are going to be a LOT of people on this thread who will be sorely embarrassed by their remarks tonight.
Lol, aren't we always? ;D

Dude on Twitter points this out:
"Last 8 Celtics first round picks:
MarShon Brooks
Jared Sullinger
Fab Melo
Kelly Olynyk
Marcus Smart
James Young
Terry Rozier
R.J. Hunter"
Meh
Guy on twitter would have more credibility if he didn't include picks we made for other teams.
-
OK guys, let's put it like this:
Is Brown more Andre Iguodala, or Harrison Barnes?
That's what it comes down to with that pick.

To be fair, only Smart and Brown have been actual decent picks early in the draft. The others have been mostly non-lottery.

Then again, it's easy to point fingers if you don't share your own opinion
Please go search the "final draft poll" from earlier today. I predicted the Cs would take Brown.
Thanks for playing but you lost. Have a nice day!
I also picked Brown and am happy with the pick. But after the huge build-up today, and all the hopes for a huge trade, kind of a letdown. Big overture, little show.
Mike
-
Not Browns fault he was drafted
10 spots too early
Good Grief Danny ......are you brain dead?
Who did you want?
I like the pick, he is better than the rest. The most athletic by far
-
Dissapointed we couldnt make a trade, but I trust Ainge here.
-
PEOPLE, we aren't mad that Danny missed on Dunn, the player. We are mad because Chicago was entertaining Crowder/Bradley (one of) and Dunn for BUTLER!!
-
I absolutely loved this pick, I always wanted an athletic wing. Whether you like him or not, we gotta trust Ainge. Who knows, as much as I like him, maybe Ainge is still working on pulling off a big trade.
-
everyone wanted winslow and we get a better version of him and some people are upset.

Erm, ok? No need to feel attacked, man, that was a general statement.
But maybe we should wait a few games before we decide how good this pick actually is, don't you think?
-
Is buddy hield from another country or is that what a 4 year basketball college graduate sounds like ?
-
The only .....
Good thing about the Brown pick.....
Is I have a hunch ......
It was 95 % CBS ....pick.....
CBS was good at getting talent in college ....with a small school.........
I'm betting this pick has Stevens signature ALL over it. I think Ainge wanted to make CBS happy
That said ......I'm still depressed
-
TWolves are set for the future
-
Brown really could end up being one of the three best players in this draft.
Question he has to answer is, can he get by NBA guards and wings, or will he only be able to score against bigs? Also, who does he defend at next level? If he can switch onto guards and wings and hold his own against smaller frontcourt players, he could be something.
Or he might be a shorter Harrison Barnes.
Pho, are we somewhat on the same page? That doesn't happen very often.
He does have the talent to be one of the best guys from this draft. Where I'd disagree is whether or not he can improve is shot and his handle a bit. If he has an outside shot he's going to kill opposing teams.
As for his defense, I'm not worried. He's already good and he has the athleticism to play with anyone.
Granath, the funny thing is I can remember a number of times when you've started a post with that exact phrase. Doesn't seem so rare.

How about context of where those players were taken. This comes up every time people make this criticism and they never use logic.

But obviously that wasn't on the table or Butler would be getting a plane ticket for Boston!!

Bahamas.

Funny how Dunn is now at 5th pick...too much Dunn, Dunn, Dunn and of course Celtics and Suns don't pick him..Bender talk was quiet as a mouse over past week...Knew he was gonna get snagged no later than 5...
Danny puts a lot of power in the personal workouts...No doubt Brown won him over there in his killer workout...Bender must have laid a big egg this past Tuesday in Boston...
most of the stuff you read heading into the draft is nonsense. The Dunn as consensus 3rd best player narrative happened out of nowhere. A week ago it was established that it was a crap shoot.
No one was talking about Dunn as the third pick or the third best player a week or so ago. He just suddenly shot up.
I'm happy we took Brown. Dunn averaged almost as many turnovers as points when he was Brown's age. Brown is going to get better. His game is raw. In games I watched him play late in the season, the commentators were raving about how much he improved during the season. He has good size and is an explosive athlete. His 77 3 pointers made in his workout is a nice sign.
Brown is a good pick I believe. Now let's see how it all turns out in 2-3 years. Patience - it's what CB is famous for. :)
Ha ha much of this board reminds me of last years pick of rozier. Most of us were wrong then.
-
Maybe still going after Butler with 2 of IT/Crowder/Bradley...
-
Really excited for this 16th pick, could be a rotation player
-
I've calmed down....
Brown IS 3 years younger then Dunn---without the injuries...so, we'll see.
-
Welcome Jaylen Brown to the Boston Celtics, GO CELTICS!!!
-
Is buddy hield from another country or is that what a 4 year basketball college graduate sounds like ?
Buddy Hield IS from another country.
-
With our luck Prince will still be there at #23.
-
Is buddy hield from another country or is that what a 4 year basketball college graduate sounds like ?
It sounded like he was speaking Vietnamese.
-
As a rookie do you have the choice not to wear flat rim cap?
-
So I guess no one bought all that Marquese Chriss hype
-
In the interviews brown is gonna make himself a lot of fans. Very well spoken and knowledgeable.
-

Now that I've gotten over the disappointment of no big trades, I'm feeling pretty good. Huge upside for this guy. There's a long night to go.
I'll be rooting for Hield. Sounds like an all-around good guy.

I don't think it was meant to be fair. More born of frustration I think.
-
CHRISS IS FALLING TO 8 OR LATER! GET HIM, DANNY! YOU MIGHT AS WELL TAKE ANOTHER PROJECT WITH THE ONE YOU TOOK AT 3!
-
Ainge is really a double agent for the Lakers
His boss is Mitch
Lol, TP. Now we know why Danny passed on Marc Gasol in 2007 (sarcasm)...;D.
-
I've calmed down....
Brown IS 3 years younger then Dunn---without the injuries...so, we'll see.
We already have Young as a huge bust ......I hope this guy is not Young 2.0
-
Bender must have laid a big egg this past Tuesday in Boston...
His main strengths are mystery and potential.
I am hoping we trade back into the lottery with our extra picks.
-
As a rookie do you have the choice not to wear flat rim cap?
bahahahah
-
IF Noel was on the table and Ainge passed, there is no hope for this Franchise. None.
All you pink hats and Kool Aid drinkers remember this,
Last season vs .500 or better Teams 19 24
Last Season vs Teams who scored more than 100 points in the game 14 31
Last 2 Playoff seasons vs Weak East 2 8
Terrible Strategy. I can't wait for Ainge tell us the value for the #3 was not there in trade and you take a project instead!
-
I'll tell you what, Jaylen Brown will be super fun to use in NBA 2k.
At least until they nuke his offensive ratings after he shoots 38% for his rookie season.
-
I absolutely loved this pick, I always wanted an athletic wing. Whether you like him or not, we gotta trust Ainge. Who knows, as much as I like him, maybe Ainge is still working on pulling off a big trade.
I think Jaylen Brown is Danny's pick. I dont think he picked up Brown to trade him. I think it got to the point where people were trying to rip off the Celfics so they just drafted their guy. Brown is here to stay
-
Phoenix on clock?
-
PEOPLE, we aren't mad that Danny missed on Dunn, the player. We are mad because Chicago was entertaining Crowder/Bradley (one of) and Dunn for BUTLER!!

I (and others) literally copy and pasted tweets from Chicago's best beat writer. Crowder and Dunn was what Chicago wanted. Danny said he wanted to trade Avery. Ended up with nothing
-
C'MON! Get Sacramento's pick and pick Chriss, or try and trade 16 and Rozier for Noel! Obviously his trade value isn't all that high right now, and they're not going to pay him next summer!
-
Composite Jaylen Brown critique from article (see thread: http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=85434.0)
Jaylen Brown, 6'7" freshman forward, California: "Biggest mystery in the draft. What does he do? He's an average ballhandler. He's a below average shooter. In AAU and college he played bully ball, but that doesn't translate to the NBA. Little bit of a funky personality. I don't know that anybody really knows what makes that kid tick. His basketball IQ is lacking. Special physical specimen and athlete. The trouble is when you make him go multiple directions. His last month and a half was awful. Makes me really nervous."
-
Man. Sucks the Suns could get Chriss. I wanted to trade up for him. Maybe we can for Sabonis or something.

Yep, just another missed freaking opportunity by Danny just like at the deadline. He's screwed us twice now by not giving up Crowder for Butler. Crowder is not freaking untouchable like Danny apparently thinks.
-
Bogdan and 13 from Suns to kings for 8. The pick is Chriss
-

Well lets see what the kid does on summer league, personally I think he will crush it he's built to punish those guys.
-
Bogdan and 13 from Suns to kings for 8. The pick is Chriss
I wonder what they plan to do with Bender and Chriss, who really project to play the same position.
-
Man. Sucks the Suns could get Chriss. I wanted to trade up for him. Maybe we can for Sabonis or something.
WAIT? What did they give up for him??
-
Don't like Sacramento as a home for Chriss.
Needs somewhere more stable to develop. Bad mix.

Then he goes and drafts Brown who plays the exact same role as Jae.

He's apparently going to Phoenix, who traded for him.

I would have loved to get Heild. I think he's going to be a stud, he'll probably be making the all star game when brown is on his last chance and on the verge of being out of the league.
-
Man. Sucks the Suns could get Chriss. I wanted to trade up for him. Maybe we can for Sabonis or something.

13, 28, and Bogdan. Seems like we could've got that but I don't know.
-
Wow, Suns get BOTH Bender and Chriss.
-
Chriss AND Bender for the Suns? Hmmm
-
Oh wow. Suns get Bender and Chriss. Could be bust city or truly spectacular in four or five years.

What the Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. are u doing ainge!!!! Suns gettin crisse! Come on!

Danny is such a ****. He couldn't get Chriss for #8 by moving up, but Phoenix can?? UGGHHHH I'm pretty questionable of Danny after tonight. Just another summer of swinging and missing, I see..

LOL Chriss looks happy. Oh wait he should be happy he is going to Phoenix after all.

Or you know he actually has the details.

Looks like Danny,is tanking
Let's take three more guards

No surprises in who the first 8 were. Now that they are off the table, maybe surprise picks are upcoming.
Who do you want with the 16th?

I wanted Chriss and then Brown so I'm with you. Ainge must not believe in Chriss. I get why people don't but I love his upside. I'm a sucker for that kind of player though.
-
Chriss talking about going to Phoenix with a Kings hat on, lol.
-
Okay, who do we want to fall to 16?
-
Great Phoenix did what I had hoped Danny would!! Sneak in for Lab. maybe. or will Phoenix hit the trifecta!

Maker at 10? Outrageous.

OMG .......DA picked Fab Melo too. ....
only two players in this draft were seen as having star potential (Simmons and Ingram). Ainge probably just feels brown has some potential and will fit in defensively off the bench.
-
Bucks what are you doing LOL
-
Cool. PHOENIX FO just took Danny out behind the tool shed. Are you kidding me?????
How, exactly?
-
What are Phoenix giving up for Chriss?

I'm so knocking over the sun sphere...
Mike
-
Wait till you guys hear who the 10th pick is lol.
-
Okay, who do we want to fall to 16?
Deyonta Davis or Jakob Poeltl.
-
Woj says Milwaukee is taking Maker at 10 lol Talk about a reach!
-
ok what is Kings doing??
Bogdan Bogdanovic has been traded with No. 13 pick to Sacramento for No. 8 (plus 28)
really?? Bogdanovic LOL
I don't know
-
Okay, who do we want to fall to 16?
That was my question. Does that Bucks deal still have any teeth?
-
Maker at 10? Outrageous.
Spoilers?
-
Maker at 10? Outrageous.
Lol now that's a wasted pick
-
Hey if ainge likes jaylen Brown more than Noel + Covington + two late 1sts, he must be pretty special.
So I'm cool with it. Looking forward to the next few years of waiting to see him take a leap.
In the D-League?
Probably.

Poeltl to Raptors

Looks like Suns have officially moved away from a team full of guards over the past few years...I commend them on pulling off Bender and Chriss.....Could we not of beat that trade for that spot?
Sounds like Wyc is being pretty arrogant complaining about the reaction..We dont know what they know...I know what I saw when our pick we took at 3 played against competition in college and I am not impressed enough to use them at 3 when we could have taken him between 6-9...maybe even later....Prove me wrong..Please....I would love nothing more than to eat crow with this pick...
-
Wow, I don't like Poeltl as a fit in Toronto. Labasierre or Ellison was my guess

Bucks are a mess. All forwards, SF at PG, no real PG, now Thon at 10.

Poeltl for Utah. like they need another big
-
Ainge gets so much love for being a genius yet he just got out maneuvered by the Suns and wasn't let go of career role players crowder and Bradley for butler. What a fool. He hasn't done Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. since his pay off swing for the fences in 2008. Time to stop kissin this guys ass

How do the wrong types of players always go to the wrong teams? Chriss going to Kings is a bad match

16, 23 and AB still in play for Monroe and Middleton lol???

Maybe we're finally getting one of them? Bradley for Middleton?

at this point, I just want to see Sabonis at 15 and witness the triboy meltdown :P
lol. Almost happened with Mickey last year
I may throw something at my TV if Sabonis is available and Danny skips on him
-

now we need to go big

They may need #16, #23 and #31.
Mike
-
ok what is Kings doing??
Bogdan Bogdanovic has been traded with No. 13 pick to Sacramento for No. 8 (plus 28)
really?? Bogdanovic LOL
I don't know
Suns fans seemed really high on Bogdanovic's future when I was reading the SBNation Suns blog two weeks ago. I don't know much about him. But maybe there is something there.
-
We need MORE guards who can not shoot

I'd really like Jabari first then Middleton yeah. He'd be great for us. I think that makes sense but then again the Bucks think Giannis is a PG and just drafted Maker 10 so who knows what they are doing.
-
Best guess at 16?
-
Cool. PHOENIX FO just took Danny out behind the tool shed. Are you kidding me?????

Call me crazy... but I'd prefer Dunn over Brown... and more so Bender and Chriss over Brown.

Woj twitter website is ruining draft night
-
It's official...they botched the draft music.
-
I have a feeling we will get Skal at sixteen.
-
"Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
I want to go back in time and save myself from watching all of those 2015-16 Nets games."
Lol.
-
We need MORE guards who can not shoot
To bad for you Ainge picked a sf then isn't it? ;D
He still has several chances .......never pass on a guard that can t shoot ....LOL
-
Ainge is going to take a big man at 16 or 23 or make a trade.
-
The kings got absolutely robbed from what I'm seeing!!!
-
Kind of embarrassing seeing the reactions of Celtics fans right now.
-
Best guess at 16?
I'm going with Deyonta Davis.
That'd be nice. Upgrade to Mickey
-
Woj says thon for Bucks and if that's true they already so dumb
-
Kind of embarrassing seeing the reactions of Celtics fans right now.
Sorry but we could have had Jimmy Butler right now
-
Best guess at 16?
I'm going with Deyonta Davis.
Seconded, though I prefer korkmaz.
-
that's a major reach for thon
-
"Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA
Minnesota and Chicago still in serious talks on a Jimmy Butler deal centered on fifth pick Kris Dunn, league sources tell @TheVertical"
Lol
-
19 24 vs .500 or better teams
-
Oh no Maker is gone?????????
-
Watch Danny draft a PG at 16 lol
I think Celts will take Hernangomez , Zimmerman or Zizic at 16
-
WOW! Maker really just went 10th?!?!? Either the Bucks will look like geniuses or this will be one of the worst picks ever.
-
Thon Maker at 10? Wow.
-
=[
Sabonis is not going to be a Celtic
Woj twitter website is ruining draft night
That's why most of us aren't paying attention to him
STOP BRINGING IT HERE
-
Bogdan and 13 from Suns to kings for 8. The pick is Chriss
I wonder what they plan to do with Bender and Chriss, who really project to play the same position.
Dragan Bender as a present day Alvan Adams high post center and facilitator.
Marquese Chriss as their new Larry Nance.
Space out the floor and run like crazy.
-
Woj saying Wolves and Bulls still in talks over Butler for Dunn... we really couldn't beat them?
-
Wow. Bucks with the first surprise of the night - Thon Maker at 10.
-
Is buddy hield from another country or is that what a 4 year basketball college graduate sounds like ?
Didn't your bubble tea/food truck guys tell you that he's from the Bahamas?
-
Awesome garbage left
-
Wolves and Bulls still talking about a Butler-Dunn trade.
-
Drafting a 23 years old with the 10th pick when he couldn't even dominate against high schoolers 😂😂
-
Holy Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.! What the hell are the Bucks thinking? :o
-
Minny and Chicago still in talks about Butler deal around Dunn (Woj)
I'm going to be so effing p---ed if it's Lavine and Dunn for Butler and we passed up Crowder and Dunn for Butler. What a joke, Danny..
-

Also sounds like he has a bit of a lisp.

=[
Sabonis is not going to be a Celtic
Woj twitter website is ruining draft night
Woj twitter ruined the draft for years, now
-
Maker a Top 10 Pick, I called It. Gonna be a steal!
-
Just wow on Maker. I was hoping we'd get him early in the second.
-
I thought we would get Thon at 16...... SMH.
-
Kind of embarrassing seeing the reactions of Celtics fans right now.
Sorry but we could have had Jimmy Butler right now*

I thought he was kidding about Maker at #10. :-\

"Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
I want to go back in time and save myself from watching all of those 2015-16 Nets games."
Lol.
He knows he'll watch 2016-2017 Nets games as long as we have the rights to swap.
-
Bulls want lavine. I reckon they would prefer crowder/bradley
-
Thon Maker went 10? Huh?
-
"Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
I want to go back in time and save myself from watching all of those 2015-16 Nets games."
Lol.
Simmons hates him. That's the most optimistic thing I've heard tonight.
Mike
-
There is strong sentiment within Bulls' front office to do full rebuild, trade for Dunn.
But Danny wants the smart kid who wants to study at Harvard
-
Wolves and Bulls still talking about a Butler-Dunn trade.
not that easy..... Bulls want Lavine...... Wolves say no
but you know what. You need to give up something to get something good in return
However Lavine and Dunn for Butler is kind of an overpay for the Wolves. Dunn for Butler is overpay for the Bulls
not sure what kind of compromise they can come up with
-
Minny and Chicago still in talks about Butler deal around Dunn (Woj)
I'm going to be so effing p---ed if it's Lavine and Dunn for Butler and we passed up Crowder and Dunn for Butler. What a joke, Danny..
Assuming that was on the table then yeah bit of a head scratcher... Bulls may like Wolves assets more though, like Lavine, and asked for more than just that proposed trade from us
-
Every team in the league is better at drafting than us.
Really..... I want what the Bucks GM is on!!!
-
There is strong sentiment within Bulls' front office to do full rebuild, trade for Dunn.
But Danny wants the smart kid who wants to study at Harvard
We screwed up big time then.
-
looks like a lottery guy will slip out of the lottery hope Danny's waiting with a catcher's mitt
-
I am excited to see Thon Maker in the NBA. I imagine Milwaukee are thinking of Thon Maker as a center. That Jabari - Giannis - Middleton trio makes it difficult to get Maker in at PF.
Position-less basketball.
-
Well with Thon taken at 10, at least one more decent player might slide to us at 16...I wouldnt be able to guess our pick at 16 if 100 million was on the line..how about that tall center from China? :o
-
opposing gm's are really dumb compared to danny. We are lucky.
-
I'm going to be pretty salty when the Wolves get Jimmy Butler.
-
"Bill Simmons @BillSimmons

-
Thon Maker went 10? Huh?
Most surprising pick so far.
-
The Kings getting #13 and #28 for Marquis chriss is such a classic kings move.
-
There is strong sentiment within Bulls' front office to do full rebuild, trade for Dunn.
but...but I thought there was "no chance" Chicago would trade Butler :o
-
Why is there even a 5 min waiting time when Woj knows the answer 10 min prior??
can't teams come up with their decision with 10 sec left on the clock?
-
"Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA
Minnesota and Chicago still in serious talks on a Jimmy Butler deal centered on fifth pick Kris Dunn, league sources tell @TheVertical"
Lol
Just do the trade...Slam the final stake into my bleeding heart.
JIMMY BUTLER >>>>> JAYLEN BROWN + JAE CROWDER
-
Hoping Skal falls to us :/
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
-
smh Maker at 10. figured he'd still be a reach if we took him at 35
-

Offer them Smart and Brown, see if they bite.

I can't believe Danny didn't take Dunn. This move will haunt us for years to come.

Rising optimism on the both sides, sources say, that the Bulls and Wolves can strike a deal where Jimmy Butler lands in Minnesota
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
I think he will be gone before 16.
-
i feel like brown is the smartest thing this team has done since the kg trade. Especially with all the rumors swirling this year. Smart was smart too but brown is better.
-
The Kings getting #13 and #28 for Marquis chriss is such a classic kings move.
Lol, so true...what a blunder times a thousand...Cant we fleece that team for Cousins? Oh wait, we don't have a center to trade them

He did at the trade deadline, and word wsa that he considered Crowder basically "untouchable." I'm betting the same is true tonight, which is ridiculous.
-
Welp, farewell to triboys mental health
-
Serge Ibaka just traded to the Magic
-
overrated big men flying off the board.
-
There is strong sentiment within Bulls' front office to do full rebuild, trade for Dunn.
K.c johnson
Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.
-
Ibaka to Orlando?
-
Serge Ibaka to the Magic??
-
I don't know about Sabonis on Orlando. They could have used a stretch 4 like Ellison or Skal
-
i feel like brown is the smartest thing this team has done since the kg trade. Especially with all the rumors swirling this year. Smart was smart too but brown is better.
x2
And on antoher note, [dang] the Magic are good at drafting, I wanted Sabonis
-
Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.
-
So far draft express is perfect about the palyers in their latest mock draft, not in order but the players
-
16, 23 and AB still in play for Monroe and Middleton lol???
I don't really see the downside of this one. Middleton would be a great get. Monroe under CBS and playing with the intensity of Jae and Smart could be very good.
JB, KM and GM is pretty good for 3, 16, 23. Hate to lose AB, but think we end up much better.
-
AARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?! ORLANDO GOT IBAKA AND WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A RUMOR ABOUT HIM?!
-
Sabonis is a boring (low risk low upside) pick for Orlando.
-
Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.
Oladipo? Wow
-
Every team in the league is better at drafting than us.
Really..... I want what the Bucks GM is on!!!
;D ;D ;D
-
Danny you cheap ass, you couldn't trade 16 and 23 and move up for Sabonis
-
AARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?! ORLANDO GOT IBAKA AND WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A RUMOR ABOUT HIM?!
curious to see what Orlando gave up.
Edit: Oladipo, Illyasova and 11.
-
The Kings getting #13 and #28 for Marquis chriss is such a classic kings move.
It's probably for the best. Maybe Kings ownership is tired of ruining kids careers before they even begin.
-
I don't understand that move for the thunder or the magic
Unless KD has said he's leaving and theyre starting to rebuild because there's nobody who's gonna immediately help on the magic
-
AARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?! ORLANDO GOT IBAKA AND WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A RUMOR ABOUT HIM?!
They gave up Oladipo... overpay
-
The Kings getting #13 and #28 for Marquis chriss is such a classic kings move.
Well, if they turn those picks into guys that can help them make the playoffs before Boogie leaves town maybe it's worth it
-
Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.
Omg, I might freaking flip right now.. Does Danny plan on doing anything to improve our team?!
-
I do not like that move for Orlando.
-
Wow, what a horrible trade for both teams, wth is going on? Maybe the Thunder are preparing to rebuild? and the Magic... well Idk
-
Oladipo is a good long term 2, ersan as the 4? Idk

Westbrook and Oladipo is awesome
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
Yes please. I like the Memo Okur comparisons.
-
Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.
Oladipo? Wow
First off, how the hell does that make any sense whatsoever for OKC either? Another ball-dominant non-shooter??
-
Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.
Great trade for OKC.
-
Ibaka to Magic for Oladipo , Sabonis , Ilayasova
-

Thunder wins that trade
-
[dang]. Sabonis gone.
-
Westbrook and Oladipo is awesome
I mean... they'll play hard. Not convinced it's a good fit. They're too similar. I think they won the trade though.
-
i feel like the celtics have another shocker coming
-
Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.

Let it out, let it all out, triboy

Ellenson, Davis, Valentine, Skal still available.
-
Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.
The Thunder just got a lot better.
How?? A ball-dominant, non-shooter two to take more shots and touches away from both Westbrook and Durant and two stretch 4's that weren't nearly as good as Ibaka and can't defend??
-

Danny will make all 8 picks I swear
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
Yes please. I like the Memo Okur comparisons.
Ellenson at 16 would be awesome value
-
Oladipo + Sabonis for Ibaka. Interesting move for OKC.
I wonder how Oladipo will fit next to Westbrook. Shades of Dion Waiters?
-
If we can get Deytona Davis with #16 I'll be soooo freakin happy.
Onnneee ttimmmeeee Danny!
-
I'm speechless.
-
i feel like brown is the smartest thing this team has done since the kg trade. Especially with all the rumors swirling this year. Smart was smart too but brown is better.
You're grossly misinformed
-
Another year
Another total waste of daft
-
I think that's a trash trade for the thunder. Ilysova is awful. Sabonis is your typical overrated college big man. And Oladipo is one the most overrated players in the nba.
They are trying to make up for the loss of Harden and just lost Ibaka.
-
Danny you cheap ass, you couldn't trade 16 and 23 and move up for Sabonis
Let it out, let it all out, triboy
If you can't vent here, where else could you go?
Thunder get a good player
-
That's a really good trade for the Thunder
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
Sure, if you want me to strangle a kitty
-
Ellenson, Davis, Valentine, Skal still available.
Will all be gone by 16?
Atlanta trade for # 12
-
Crazy return for OKC, I'm shocked.
-
I like Orlando breaking up that perimeter nucleus. Those guys could not play together. Too little shooting. Payton, A.Gordon, Oladipo. Frees up minutes for Hezonja. Keep Fournier in there. Ibaka adds some shooting and importantly interior defense. I like that.
-
Ainge is like a Deer in Headlights tonight...
and he's had MONTHS to prepare .
-

If he uses 4 of them on stash guys over 6'10 I'd be OK with it.
-
guessing Ibaka has less in the tank than people realize. Not seeing this as move that's going to convince Durant to stay long term
-
The thunder traded away any chance of keeping KD their team was great as is
-
I think that's a trash trade for the thunder. Ilysova is awful. Sabonis is your typical overrated college big man. And Oladipo is one the most overrated players in the nba.
Ibaka is good but not amazing
so it's a good trade for both teams
-
How does kd feel about ibaka being traded?
-
Maybe a straw towards KD leaving though.
-
Oladipo + Sabonis for Ibaka. Interesting move for OKC.
I wonder how Oladipo will fit next to Westbrook. Shades of Dion Waiters?
I don't like the fit at all. AB is an absolute perfect example of the type you need next to Westbrook and Durant -> not high usage, 3 and D guy who is a good shooter. That's not really Oladipo at all. So stupid.
-
i feel like the celtics have another shocker coming
How about a second round pick for Andrew Nicholson? Ainge has that ace up his sleeve!

-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
Yes please. I like the Memo Okur comparisons.
Ellenson at 16 would be awesome value
Ellenson is Ryan Anderson without the money jumper

Wow, another reach. Keep going guys!

-
why did they trade ibaka, didn't he beast n the playoffs? i thought he shot like 50% from 3.
-
Thanks Danny:
Discussion between the Bulls and Wolves have reached an advanced stage, sources say, with a real chance now for a Thibodeau/Butler reunion
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
Sure, if you want me to strangle a kitty
First laugh all night .....TP
-
Taureen Prince. Nice pick. Darn. I was hoping he'd be there at 23 or even 16.
Really good fit in Atlanta's setup. Replaces DeMarre Carroll.
-
what???? Prince?
-
Wow, Prince went high. So that could mean a pretty good guy will slip to 16.
-
Prince at 12? What was that???
-
Lol ainge sittin around with all his assets and doing Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. with them. Idiot
-
getting my hopes up ellenson slides to 16. wouldn't be surprised to see Danny take Zizic or Zubac though
-
Thunder just lost Ibaka for crap after losing Harden though. I'm not listening to rumors anymore. Year after year rumors/smoomers and people think they know what's good.
I'm thinking for myself amidst the madness.
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
Yes please. I like the Memo Okur comparisons.
I wouldn't mind trading up for Ellenson at this point.
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
Yes please. I like the Memo Okur comparisons.
Ellenson at 16 would be awesome value
One of Ellenson, Davis, Skal or Valentine will be there at 16.
-
guessing Ibaka has less in the tank than people realize. Not seeing this as move that's going to convince Durant to stay long term
Yeah, not at all. I just don't see how that works. Ilyasova is a decent get to stretch the floor, but he doesn't defend at all. I HIGHLY dislike the Oladipo get. That just doesn't make sense at all next to Westbrook and Durant.
-
Ellenson, Davis, Valentine, Skal still available.
Labissiere, I hope.
Let's pick the guys with the high upside.
-
why did they trade ibaka, didn't he beast n the playoffs? i thought he shot like 50% from 3.
I think his contract is massive and comes up soon ....maybe next year......could be they just didn't want to pay him and get something before that time comes.
-

Utah didn't even make the Playoffs and and Jalen Rose likes their pick for depth hahah.

I want another Guard
Short and can't shoot
Screw guys 7 ft .....they are use less
-
Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???
Yes please. I like the Memo Okur comparisons.
Ellenson at 16 would be awesome value
Ellenson is Ryan Anderson without the money jumper
Yeah, I'm not a fan either.
-
I sense a shocker from DA here.
-
I would have loved to have gotten Ibaka and used him as a center. His defensive quickness at center next to our perimeter players would have been awesome. His shooting at center to space the floor.
Surely Avery Bradley and the #16 would have been a better trade package. Maybe something else. Surely Ainge could have topped that Orlando offer.
-
getting my hopes up ellenson slides to 16. wouldn't be surprised to see Danny take Zizic or Zubac though
Well from reading most posters here there's gonna be a lot of cats dead, I like Henry

Yeah, he's got a pass too long from me. This is just another summer of failure for him, ESPECIALLY tonight.
-
Skal, please.
The second pick is usually where Danny takes the guy who can shoot but not do anything else, only to turn out the guy can't shoot, either. Who is it this draft?
Mike
-
Surely Avery Bradley and the #16 would have been a better trade package. Maybe something else. Surely Ainge could have topped that Orlando offer.
That's not a better offer. Orlando overpaid for sure.
-
I will be happy with Brice Johnson at 23, could be te steal of the draft
-
I bet Danny takes Qi :laugh:
-
guessing Ibaka has less in the tank than people realize. Not seeing this as move that's going to convince Durant to stay long term
Yeah, not at all. I just don't see how that works. Ilyasova is a decent get to stretch the floor, but he doesn't defend at all. I HIGHLY dislike the Oladipo get. That just doesn't make sense at all next to Westbrook and Durant.
Oladipo is there to replace Westbrook when he goes to LA.

You would think. A first-team all-defender who can shoot. Ibaka would help with the Durant chase, too.
-
I will say Sabonis is one of my favorite personalities in the draft. I'm not sure how good a player he is but i'll root for him.
-

Ilyasova and Kanter together is a very bad defensive duo. Sabonis is only a rookie and will take time before he learns how to defend. That leaves Steven Adams as their only reliable defensive player. Not looking good for OKC's title chances next year.
-
I bet Danny takes Qi :laugh:
I hope so, at #35

That's not a better offer. Orlando overpaid for sure.
So, is Mario Hezonja now going to be their starting SG?
-
Deytona Davis is coming our way guys!
-
Wow, Prince went high. So that could mean a pretty good guy will slip to 16.
Yep. Two reaches by other teams so far means someone good may slide to 16.
-
I don't like the fit for OKC but they won the trade easily. If they got that offer they kind of have to take it and figure it out later. I don't think it was anything to do with Westbrook.
-
I bet Danny takes Qi :laugh:
I hope so, at #35
I could live with him at 35 for sure..He can block shots..that is for sure
-
Surely Avery Bradley and the #16 would have been a better trade package. Maybe something else. Surely Ainge could have topped that Orlando offer.
That's not a better offer. Orlando overpaid for sure.
So, is Mario Hezonja now going to be their starting SG?
Probably better off that way. Oladipo is overrated.
-
I think it might be Furkan Korkmaz
-
Surely there is a good non shooting guard 5 ' 6 " we can draft
-
guessing Ibaka has less in the tank than people realize. Not seeing this as move that's going to convince Durant to stay long term
Yeah, not at all. I just don't see how that works. Ilyasova is a decent get to stretch the floor, but he doesn't defend at all. I HIGHLY dislike the Oladipo get. That just doesn't make sense at all next to Westbrook and Durant.
Ilyasova and Kanter together is a very bad defensive duo. Sabonis is only a rookie and will take time before he learns how to defend. That leaves Steven Adams as their only reliable defensive player. Not looking good for OKC's title chances next year.
Are they legitimately giving up and breaking up the team? Because it doesn't really make all that much sense otherwise. Perhaps Westbrook told them that there's no way he stays next year.
-
Watch the Celtics pick Denzel Valentine at 16
-
Lol. We can't get rid of any of these assets. Players or picks :'(
-
For those who haven't paid attention the last 10 years:
The rest of the draft we'll pick combo guards and undersized power forwards
-
Who is left on the board that is worth anything
-
Georgios at 13?!
Mike
-
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA 21m21 minutes ago
Minnesota and Chicago still in serious talks on a Jimmy Butler deal centered on fifth pick Kris Dunn, league sources tell @TheVertical
i'd be SICK if the deal ends up being Dunn and Lavine for Butler.
-
Papa's crew is happy, but they must not realize that he's going to the Kings ;D
-
Ellenson, Valentine, Luwawu, Deyonta Davis.... we are getting a good piece
-
Papagiannis to suns
-
Georgios at 13?
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THIS REAL LIFE I CANT EVEN
-
Furkan Korkmaz. I just want to say that when we pick him.
-
Isn't #13 kind of a reach?
-
:o Never even heard of him. Way to go Kings though, 6 pts in the Greek league. In related news, Cousins just demanded a trade.
-
Ha! Another reach this time by Phoenix. :)
-
Lol. We can't get rid of any of these assets. Players or picks :'(
We pick more James Youngs ......and we are stuck with junk players , bad picks and ?.......ET ..... :-X
-
So the Kings select another Center? Hmmmmm.
-
I think the Suns just drafted a yogurt brand but I'm not sure
-
Who is that guy? I thought Zizic and Zubac were next Euro bigs.
That highlight reel didn't show much.
-
Aldridge and Amick saying that there's no chance of a Minny/Bulls deal as of right now.
-
At this rate, there's going to be plenty of talent for Brooklyn at #20.
Mike
-
16 is shaping up to be a pretty nice pick
-
It's going to be Brice Johnson, KOrkmaz, or one of the bigs or a complete surprise. How's that for narrowing down.
-
Ellenson, Valentine, Luwawu, Deyonta Davis.... we are getting a good piece
there should be someone promising available at 16 without a doubt. question is, will Danny take a flyer on Skal instead or one of the Croatian duo in place of a surer Sully replacement in Ellenson or Davis.
-
I think the Suns just drafted a yogurt brand but I'm not sure
lol, Cousins loves yogurt I hear. Just trying to keep him happy.
-
Furkan Korkmaz. I just want to say that when we pick him.
Isn't he the King of Jordon or Iraq ? ;D
-
At this rate, there's going to be plenty of talent for Brooklyn at #20.
Mike
Apparently their plan A was thon lol
-
Watch the Celtics pick Denzel Valentine at 16
That'd just be the perfect little cherry on top of this Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. sundae!
-
Ya'll realize that at #16 we're going to be able to get Ellenson, Skal or Davis....I like those choices!!!
-
Ellenson, Valentine, Luwawu, Deyonta Davis.... we are getting a good piece
there should be someone promising available at 16 without a doubt. question is, will Danny take a flyer on Skal instead or one of the Croatian duo in place of a surer Sully replacement in Ellenson or Davis.
He will probably take KO 2.0 in ellenson
-
Ellenson, Davis, Korkman please. May hit here. Like Ellenson.
-
I don't love Valentine, but didn't he shoot like 44% from three this year? I mean, maybe at 23 he is still there?
-
Paul Pierce tweeted Maker is pick of the draft.
-
Deytona Davis would be the rim protector we've craved. One freakin time Danny.
Could be one of the best players in this draft in 5 years.
-
Now go Skal or Ante Zizic at #16 if they're there.
-
Danny. Really really needs to read this blog more
-
Aldridge and Amick saying that there's no chance of a Minny/Bulls deal as of right now.
So how are you guys going to freak out and overreact if that happens? Ruins all the fun.
-
Just don't pick Skal... don't feel like talking about Fab Melo 2.0...
-
Lol. We can't get rid of any of these assets. Players or picks :'(
We pick more James Youngs ......and we are stuck with junk players , bad picks and ?.......ET ..... :-X
Yaaaaaaay! Thanks Danny >:(
-
Please let us get luwawu!
-
Danny was really impressed with Zizic.
So I'm thinking Danny will take him if he is still available
-
Thanks to BUcs, Jazz and Suns, number 16 looks good now... C'mon Ellenson...
-
So would Chi take Wade if no deal?
-
i'm amazed at the players left at 16 although somewhat overrated talent.
-
Please let us get luwawu!
A lot of great options still available: Luwawu, Baldwin, Davis. A Baldwin+ for Noel trade would be amazing.
-
If they draft Baldwin. Butler stays
-
Bulls i predict will take Dejounte Murray
-
Valentine.
-
Ellenson, Valentine, Luwawu, Deyonta Davis.... we are getting a good piece
there should be someone promising available at 16 without a doubt. question is, will Danny take a flyer on Skal instead or one of the Croatian duo in place of a surer Sully replacement in Ellenson or Davis.
He will probably wait and use 23 for the next Fab Melo. 16 has to be a good player
-
Skal or Ellenson would be pretty good risks at 16. I'd still try and trade it with Rozier for Noel, though.
-
There went the corpse of Valentine.
Good.
-
Thanks to BUcs, Jazz and Suns, number 16 looks good now... C'mon Ellenson...
OK, got the kitty ready
Let's do this!
-
I'm quietly optimistic about #16 now
-
Report came out that DA scouted Zubac twice in Europe. I have a feeling he will be the 23 pick.
-
Davis or Ellenson please.
-
Now go Skal or Ante Zizic at #16 if they're there.
Either is good. Actually, there about five players that would make me happy at 16.
-
Valentine gone... :(
-
Last four picks are making all the Danny Ainge haters wish they could delete their posts.
-
Valentine is an enormous reach at #12.
Deytona Davis is our guy.
-
14 31 when Teams score more than 100 points vs Celtics!
Thanks Danny
-
I don't love Valentine, but didn't he shoot like 44% from three this year? I mean, maybe at 23 he is still there?
lol 23
-
im glad we didnt get valentine. seemingly cool dude but something i dont like about him.
-
Valentine is an enormous reach at #12.
Deytona Davis is our guy.
#14
and no. Zizic is our guy
-
Get Labissiere off the board Nuggets... please
-
LOL at Pierce comparing himself to the Thon Maker pick. Slapping himself in the face.
-
well we know Denver will go International...
-
There's gotta be a trade somewhere. I refuse to believe we're going to take 8 picks.
-
Get Baldwin for Noel! C'mon, Danny, Philly still has no rotation-caliber guards!
-
C'mon Ellenson....
-
D Davis or Ellenson.
-
Please give me that trade!!!!
-
There's gotta be a trade somewhere. I refuse to believe we're going to take 8 picks.
Get ready for Danny
-
So Lab or Davis? Whichever Denver does take.
Kinda hoping Davis.
-
The Grizzlies, ESPN sources say, have traded the 17th overall pick and Brandan Wright to the Clippers for JJ Redick and a future pick
-
Come on Danny! Another guard or some bum that can't shoot!
-
Redick to the Grizz. Fun.
-
Juan Henangomez to Nuggets!
-
C'mon Ellenson....
Im with you... one more pick
-
Grizz getting JJ Redick for 17 and Wright
-
We could get Davis at 16 and then stash a Croatian big at #23. That works out about perfectly for us. We get size, we get size that can wait and develop, and we can still hope a roster player falls to #31.
-
I have this sinking feeling we are going to pick baldwin. Please danny grab a PF.
-
The Grizzlies, ESPN sources say, have traded the 17th overall pick and Brandan Wright to the Clippers for JJ Redick and a future pick
Why for LAC?
-
Come on Danny! Another guard or some bum that can't shoot!
We need more guards ....can not get enough
-
Skal or Davis at 16
Malachi at 23 plz :)
-
Is there any consensus here?
Davis?
Skal?
Zizic?
Ellenson?
Baldwin?
-
Here is a recent interview with Jaylon Brown. I think he has been working on that jumper
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3qnvrAwIL8

Grizz getting JJ Redick for 17 and Wright
[dang] I wish we got JJ!!
-
so many spoilers...
-
Davis pls
-
Haha, boogie tweets: Lord give me the strength
-
Whats with the horrible trades? Im beginning to understand why Danny sat out
-
The Grizzlies, ESPN sources say, have traded the 17th overall pick and Brandan Wright to the Clippers for JJ Redick and a future pick
Umm, what? Wow, what is going on there?
-
bahahah
We need to trade for this man. He has to break soon.

Naw, Danny doesn't want to give up Crowder for him. ;)
-
Maybe it will be Diallo at 16
-
Screw you Danny if you draft anyone under 6'8" with this next pick
-
Don't take Skal don't take Skal
-
Ok Silver, not bad on that accent.
-
Valentine is an enormous reach at #12.
Deytona Davis is our guy.
#14
and no. Zizic is our guy
I'll be happy with either one.
-
I have no idea who we are going to take here. been too focused on the top of the draft and rumors. I really like bryce but i havent really looked at this pick too much. ellenson, skal, lawawu, davis all good. I feel like ainge is going to pull something out though. furkan korkmaz i feel like he would fit us for some reason.
really liked bryce and davis at first impression of this draft and brown and bender so we will see.
-
Now would be a good time to make that Middleton Monroe 16 23 trade. It'd effectively redeem the night. All we'have to do is imagine we got Middleton Monroe for 3 (maybe an overpay but proven NBA talent) and then imagine Jaylen dropped down to, say, 12 or 13 and we bundled 16 23 to move up and snag him. That would make me pretty happy, that sequence. The actual sequence would still be just...weird.
-
I wonder who LAC wants at #17. Must be someone good to part with Redick.
-
Davis, Skal still available! Go get em, Danny!
-
wow, Danny with a smorgasbord of solid prospects to pick from at 16. didn't think the options would be this good. seriously thinking a top prospect at 16 will still be there at 23 too
-
Screw you Danny if you draft anyone under 6'8" with this next pick
Davis please.
Don't need Scal. Already have him in KO
-
so many spoilers...
I hate it. Yes, we can go to wojo vertical too, but we dont.
Please sop spoiling!!!!!
-
Maybe it will be Diallo at 16
I would love Diallo at 23
-
Back on the clock!
-
Skal or Ellenson. Can't see anyone else, but Ainge probably takes a James Young type player.
-
Come on Baldwin for Noel or Skal (why not?) or Ellenson!
-
bahahah
We need to trade for this man. He has to break soon.
https://twitter.com/boogiecousins/status/746149291249410050
Naw, Danny doesn't want to give up Crowder for him. ;)
Lol!
I'm laughing away the pain,

Naw, Danny doesn't want to give up Crowder for him. ;)
That's why we won't get Durant. He won't be happy coming off the bench.
Mike
-
On the clock. This is the pick that makes me curious ..
-
I bet he's gonna take Demetrius Jackson and the Internet is going to quit.
-
The Grizzlies, ESPN sources say, have traded the 17th overall pick and Brandan Wright to the Clippers for JJ Redick and a future pick
Why for LAC?
That is what I wanna know? I thought Doc loved Redick?
-
I think it is Davis, they let Amir go, get Horford and hope he can bring in Durant.
-
look at that war room
Danny has no idea LOL
You need to go with a big guy
but i have a feeling it maybe Dejounte Murray
-
I can't believe we are going to make all these [dang] picks!!

TVs all across the world just got tense. People every where are carrying chairs in their hands.

Just dont pick Skal... please. Go Ellenson and be done with it

I like it.
-
its not davis or skal. maybe ellenson
-
Oh goodness.
-
I'll be happy with skal
-
it's bryce of korkmaz lol.
-
Our war room looks like a bomb went off in it....people slumped over....
-
its not davis or skal. maybe ellenson
Please not ellenson.
Mike
-
I can't believe we are going to make all these [dang] picks!!
unless we want 8 man rookie battle royal for 2(3?) open roster spots, it seems prudent to bundle for a future pick, or someone who can help the team now.
-
There's no source for that Clippers trade rumor I can see.
-
The Grizzlies, ESPN sources say, have traded the 17th overall pick and Brandan Wright to the Clippers for JJ Redick and a future pick

Draft Malik Beasley as replacement. Cost controlled? I don't know. Just a guess.
-
From SoSH where a poster has a newspaper friend...
Ok next update from my friend: Offer was Butler for #3, Bradley, Crowder and Nets 2017. Celts tried to change out the Nets 2017 pick and was a deal breaker for Bulls. Ainge feels Brown is going to be similar or better than Butler long term but knows theres risk. Claims Ainge would of taken Brown over anyone but Ingram.
-
got to be Davis or Ellenson right now. can't picture him taking anyone else.
-
Yabusele
-
Ainge is so slow to make his draft selections. Get on with it.
-
Bruh. Danny. Smh
-
Yabusele is our pick
-
per Woj that is
-
:(
-
What the hell....
-
Oh my God. Yabusele, really?
Ugh, Danny.
-
http://www.nbadraft.net/players/guerschon-yabusele
I am clueless on this player
-
Ha hahahhahahaha Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.!!!!
-
Guard your cats.
Mike
-
WHAT!!!!!!!!
-
Danny hates 7 footers don't he?
-
Are we ready to move on from Danny yet? What the efffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
-
I don't see it. Reminds me of Seraphin.
-
Skal or Ellenson. Can't see anyone else, but Ainge probably takes a James Young type player.
Two guys I want to avoid.
-
...who?
-
Sullys replacement.
-
Who ?
Is he the Prince of Kwait
-
I'm not going to defend this one.
-
oh yes
-
hmmmm.... can shoot.
-
Ha ha ha I was dead wrong on this pick. Ha ha.
-
*crack*
Wow
-
Yabu who? lol?
-
Didn't see that one coming.
-
Draft and stash?
-
ainge is a genius. always finds these guys
-
Boy Danny likes to outthink himself doesn't he
-
I wonder if this was a trade.
-
Yabusele
french draymond green??? who is this guy?
-
Stash
-
What a Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing horrible pick
-
NICE!1
this kid is Sully + explosiveness + better range
-
People in France say he is the next Draymond Green
-
I don't know.
Fran Fraschila said he can make 3 point shots. Big bodied, undersized PF who can run and shoot. A reach, but an interesting pick...
-
This is so ridiculous... We're going to make 8 bad picks tonight ::)
-
Well, Ainge finally went with an International pick.....who looks like a fat 3pt chucker
-
I don't see it. Reminds me of Seraphin.SULLY
only upside to this pick is that all the good players continue to slide down one spot :-\
-
Oh, yea, I'm the crazy one...
-
He was a midget wrestler turned NBA
-
Who's the last player we selected over 6'8"? Was it Fab Melo? Did Fab hurt Danny so badly he just hates all 7 footers?
-
So French Draymond Green huh? lol
-
Guard your cats.
Mike
too late
poor kitty, it never had a chance...
-
Well, Ainge finally went with an International pick.....who looks like a fat 3pt chucker
He's the French sully lol
-
I want a Sullinger replacement, I didn't mean someone who looks like him physically lol
-
I can't say I'm familiar with him but like the early look. There is no one we passed on to be so worried about at all. Past the first like 10 picks in this draft it could be anyone. The talent is flat.
-
I wonder if this was a trade.
You wish
-
Well he is still young, 20, and shot 40+% on threes. He looks like he has an NBA body. Somewhere, probably San Antonio, some GM is p---ed.
-
We passed up on Skal and Ellenson for this???
-
People in France say he is the next Draymond Green
Not really sold, but optimistic when I heard 44% 3PT shooter. I think it's a massive reach, but not really mad about the pick because of the shooting capability, athleticism and the massive body he likes to throw around.
-
The good news: by picking Yabu at 16, we left more good players on the board for 23.
-
My god that kid is built. He looks like a tank at 6'8. I've never seen someone with that build who shot over 40% from deep. If that kid can atleast recognize a proper pass, he will make the bench for the team.
-
It can t get worse
Are they really this dumb at drafting.
Amazing
-
LETS GO DANNY!! Great pick.. I was hoping for him at 23 but im good at 16. Everything you read about this guy is good. Beasted all of his workouts. Love this pick.
-
well I guess, if Yabu makes a game winner I can go yaba daba doo
-
The good news: by picking Yabu at 16, we left more good players on the board for 23.
;D
-
Inwonder if we'll stash him or we'll just let sully walk?
-
I don't see it. Reminds me of Seraphin.SULLY
only upside to this pick is that all the good players continue to slide down one spot :-\
Haha - TP. I was thinking the same thing. I guess he is the first of many draft and stash guys. If Danny can't make an impact trade, he will have failed on the night.
-
Really good shooting numbers and physically dude is a beast. I'm hoping he works out.
-
Is Ainge really going to draft all these picks? You surely is going to trade some right??
-
Simmons is the best: The Celtics just took the 7th pick in the draft at no. 3 and used no. 16 on a French guy sitting in the stands. I'm gonna make a drink.
-
Inwonder if we'll stash him or we'll just let sully walk?
I think we are done with Sully.
-
I can understand the Brown pick. He's the most athletic wing in the entire draft. So that's defensible.
But Yabusele at #16?? Most mocks had him going in round 2. That's an awful reach. I'd rather have taken Deyonta Davis who has continued to slide down the board for some reason. With Brown and Davis, that would have been a really athletic defensive front.
Who is Yabusele??
-
He can shoot at least...over 40% from 3 and over 50% from 2..that is something different for us..right? 8)
-
reach??, second round??, Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.!!
-
Yabusele:
Think Sullinger with a better attitude, better outside shot (I love how high it comes over his head - tough to block) but probably not as good of a rebounder.
-
Well, Ainge finally went with an International pick.....who looks like a fat 3pt chucker
hahaha tp. i laughed out loud when I read that. god, what a underwhelming draft day for us. No big trades, no picks that seem very exciting. I dunno, I know we need to wait a couple of years to pass judgement, but with all the draft picks, the young players we could move it is disappointing.
Sometimes no move is the right move, but we don't have the Nets picks forever, we need to start accomplishing something with the last bits of the KG/PP trade assets.
-
Does doc really like Baldwin more than Reddick?
-
Spare me jumping on the "reach" angle. People said that about Rozier last year and then it turns out two teams wanted to draft him right after we took him at 16. Draft "experts" don't know what teams want to do.
-
A fat ass chucker from France that you can get in round 2. Danny Ainge is a dipEdited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. drafter.
-
Is Wade Baldwin like Marcus Smart?
-
Potential draft and stash guy and we can kill the talking point that Ainge won't draft Euros.
How fun will it be to hear Tommy saying his name?
-
We passed up on Skal and Ellenson for this???
Another reason why the Brown pick is horrific. Now Ainge is reaching for stash players so he can keep trash like Young on the roster. Skal has upside. This is beyond worst case scenario, could have had Butler and a big with upside.
-
Ok I admit this one hurts. I was ready for Brown and I'll give him a chance. But this eurotard? Seems like a HUGE reach. :-\
-
This guy was rising I knew, but Ainge must of thought someone else. Would have taken effort. 23. A surprise.
-
I can understand the Brown pick. He's the most athletic wing in the entire draft. So that's defensible.

Who is Yabusele??
+infinity.
Danny must know something about who's drafting whom that we don't, 'cause that guy would have been there at 23.
Mike
-
Well he is still young, 20, and shot 40+% on threes. He looks like he has an NBA body. Somewhere, probably San Antonio, some GM is p---ed.
Tommy Point!
This is the strangest pick of Ainge's tenure, but hey, maybe it'll improbably be the best. Maybe Yabusele was destined to be the guy who the Spurs draft in the second round that every other fanbase gripes about passing over, and maybe we will have been smart for not passing him over. We'll see. Belichickian. I tentatively like it. (Though I still am disgusted with the night overall.)
-
It can t get worse
Are they really this dumb at drafting.
Amazing
Looks like it.
-
A fat ass chucker from France that you can get in round 2. Danny Ainge is a dip**** drafter.
LOL
TP
-
Vertical says he's a stash
-
This makes the Bruno Caboclo debacle look like a home run.
-
Ainge is such a joker. And what is going on with this Ellenson drop? he was a top 10 pick
-
Is Ainge really going to draft all these picks? You surely is going to trade some right??
Didn't you hear? All other GMs are trying to rip us off with hot garbage for trades. Therefore we will make all selections just to spite them.
-
Yabusele:
Think Sullinger with a better attitude, better outside shot (I love how high it comes over his head - tough to block) but probably not as good of a rebounder.
Given his supposed effort on defense, this might not be accurate.
-
Simmons is the best: The Celtics just took the 7th pick in the draft at no. 3 and used no. 16 on a French guy sitting in the stands. I'm gonna make a drink.
Sums it up perfectly.
-
The Nets are going to get Davis at 20, aren't they?
Mike
-
Yabusele:
Think Sullinger with a better attitude, better outside shot (I love how high it comes over his head - tough to block) but probably not as good of a rebounder.
42.6% from 3 and 76.5% from the line.
-
The Knicks are already having a better draft than we are...
-
You think Danny makes these picks just to stick it to us meatheads here on cb? :o
-
A fat ass chucker from France that you can get in round 2. Danny Ainge is a dip**** drafter.
He can chuck all he wants if he shoots 44% genius.
-
Yabusele:
Think Sullinger with a better attitude, better outside shot (I love how high it comes over his head - tough to block) but probably not as good of a rebounder.
how bout i don't have to think about sully at all. danny will never draft a team to a championship. never. dude's Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing clueless.
-
Danny Ainge is killing this draft. I love it.
-
Can we Pickett the TD Garden---?
Ainge is the Worst drafter in the league...and nobody wants to trade with him anymore---so WHY on earth is he still our GM--?
This was supposed to be HIS night---all the ducks were lined up.
-
Why aren't you guys all upset about Ellenson? He was top 10 in all your precious mock drafts.
-
The Bulls' talks to acquire Kris Dunn were more serious with the Celtics than the Timberwolves, per source.
This WAS gonna happen. But Danny loves crowder/Bradley too much to get a star
-
Ainge is such a joker. And what is going on with this Ellenson drop? he was a top 10 pick
Well, it just ended (and I really like him in Detroit)
-
https://youtu.be/uMk56RR4oyI
Interesting...nice 3 pt shot...that is nice....
I almost had heart attack when I saw the name on twitter..My first thought was my drink was spiked with serious hallucinogenics
-
C's are drafting where we can let Sully go potentially and someone else. If we can't make deals i wouldnt be surprised to see hte c's sell off some of these 2nd round picks.
-
So Luwawu, korkmaz, the two Croatians and Davis are still left. So one of those has to be available at 23. Plus though not a position of need, Murray is still out there.
-
This means Scal, Davis, the two Croations, Luwawu, or Johnson will be there at #23.
I'd take any except Scal.
Please get one I want tonight.
-
This makes the Bruno Caboclo debacle look like a home run.
LOL
Well.....with Sully gone .......
We will have a new guy to hit with the FAT jokes ......while we are waiting for our heros .....Young and Brown to become All Stars ....LOL
-
Ellenson is terrible. One thing I can't stand is teams that take and overpay overrated big men.
-
The Bulls' talks to acquire Kris Dunn were more serious with the Celtics than the Timberwolves, per source.
This WAS gonna happen. But Danny loves crowder/Bradley too much to get a star
They are trying to pry away Lavine + Dunn
Wolves don't want to give that much up
I don't think anything will happen
-
So Luwawu, korkmaz, the two Croatians and Davis are still left. So one of those has to be available at 23. Plus though not a position of need, Murray is still out there.
Which means Danny will take none of them.
-
Dude is a draft and stash. I seriously wonder if Ainge will draft 5 more euros.
-

Tbh I love Bradley and we need Crowder (who else plays the 3 exactly).
I don't blame him for keeping Bradley/Crowder. Had hopes of a three way trade involving Philly as well that got us Butler too.
-
Ellenson is terrible.
Stone feet
but works hard and is skilled
He will struggle defensively at the NBA level
-
On the plus side, it's gonna be a lot of fun to hear Tommy say Guerschon Yabusele.
Mike
-
Word is Bulls were listening on Jimmy Butler, but not shopping him. Teams ALWAYS listen. Boston made the strongest push for him, but for now I'm told he stays.
-
So Luwawu, korkmaz, the two Croatians and Davis are still left. So one of those has to be available at 23. Plus though not a position of need, Murray is still out there.

Yeah, at this rate his next pick will be a homeless dude sleeping outside the Barclay center.
-
man this is the most heated i've seen CB in a while. good times
-
So Danny can't unload these picks so he has to pick a bunch of bums from Europe because we don't have enough roster spots? This is terrible! :'(
-
-Yabusele won't join the Celtics this season, but he's an upside pick with a game similar to Atlanta's Paul Millsap. You can't go wrong with a guy like that. -
-
Butler's staying put.
-
This means Scal, Davis, the two Croations, Luwawu, or Johnson will be there at #23.
I'd take any except Scal.
Please get one I want tonight.
Why get somebody good? That pick has Stephen Zimmerman written all over it. Maybe Tyler Ulis.
Mike
-
Jesus Ainge. Stop letting your dumbass son make picks
-
Danny can still save this draft. Davis lasts until 23, trade two seconds for a late 1st and pick up a Croatian, at 31 or 35 draft the Chinese guy and Wiltjer or the Iowa kid Uthoff or whatever his name is. He looks good at the combine.
-
This board is really slow. annoying.
Also why do people report that the celtics made a surprising pick at 16. I think i said ainge was going to do something different there. What did people really expect then to waste it on overrated talent they don't need?
To the people who report that stuff it's your own fault for being surprised. Don't report crap?
I've worked in IT and you guys really couldn't have this site up and running on the biggest night of the year either?
-
The next pick DA takes
Is a 5foot guard from North Korea
;D
-
Beasley
-
-Yabusele won't join the Celtics this season, but he's an upside pick with a game similar to Atlanta's Paul Millsap. You can't go wrong with a guy like that. -
I don't know, I've heard that he's "fat", "trash" and "another reason Danny Ainge should be fired
Are you suggesting that those people are just giving knee-jerk reactions?
-
LOL at the certainty with which most of you guys were speaking about Butler to the TWolves .
-
In case you missed it the first time around
For those who haven't paid attention the last 10 years:
The rest of the draft we'll pick combo guards and undersized power forwards
-
LOL at this thread. "I don't know who this player is, so I'm going to assume he sucks because I know more than the GMs paid to make these picks!"
-
-Yabusele won't join the Celtics this season, but he's an upside pick with a game similar to Atlanta's Paul Millsap. You can't go wrong with a guy like that. -
Did we go wrong with Justin Reed? Or Brandon Hunter? Or Leon Powe? lol! You can absolutely go wrong with this pick. In fact, the probability is that the pick was bad, not that it was good.
I would be pleasantly surprised if it was good. I would be pleasantly surprised if he ever played a game for the Celtics. Give me a break!
-
Beasley
First good pick in a while.
Mike
-
Like Malik Beasley.
-
So Davis, Murray, Labissiere, or Korkmaz will actually still be there at 23.
-
Ante Zizic is still in play. Drop it, baby. Drop it like it's hot.
-
On the plus side, it's gonna be a lot of fun to hear Tommy say Guerschon Yabusele.
Mike
Can we just call him Yab?
-
I like the Beasley pick for Denver (although I think Skal would have been a better pick)

Nuggets have had a great draft. J. Murray. Hernangomez. Beasley

I'm not watching any more Nets games

Because they are knee jerk and make up their minds before the fact, even though this draft is clearly very flat talent wise after the first few picks. And also because journalists who sit around and mock draft are clearly so plugged in and the best evaluators of talent in the NBA. So much so that they don't get paid to do it and work as journalists.
That's what I mean though. They are the ones reporting crap and then they are like surprising pick. It isn't surprising. They also weren't nice enough to get this board up and running right on the biggest night of the year either. I've worked in IT and don't do that crap to people either.
I hate pandering to idiocy and ignorance in general. It's not real kindness.

Nets will probably take Lab, I doubt they worked out anyone for this slot
-
We need some height, but Luwawu would be tempting if he's still available.
-
LOL at this thread. "I don't know who this player is, so I'm going to assume he sucks because I know more than the GMs paid to make these picks!"
I do know that undersized power forwards are not breakout stars in the NBA. Would you be excited at the prospect of drafting a luminary like the next Zach Randolph? lol! It's not that I assume this guy sucks, it's that I have valid empirical evidence that every small power forward Danny has picked is playing in Europe or China - and I don't have faith in him to evaluate that kind of talent.
He always takes the same guys: combo guards who can't shoot; under-sized power forwards, and some tall dinosaur who lacks the supplemental brain in his but like those poor Brazilian kids.
-
Danny going to trade up?
Or are all those assets too valuable?

Nets take someone who was projected to go mid-second round. I don't know what's going on anymore.

He's 6' 8" and very big. Plus shot 44% from three. I don't see what is not to like at 16 in this draft. Sorry but I don't care Skal went to UK, he was bad.
Again, reminds me of last year when people were like "what Rozier!?!?!" and it turned out mock drafts were way off and several teams loved him.
-
Ainge had Butler and screwed it up. Bradley is hurt often...Crowder blue collar
Next year's Brooklyn pick could be 7-10. Ainge dropping the ball.
-
Danny going to trade up?
Or are all those assets too valuable?
yes .....they are ......we certainly can t let a good 5 ft guard go undrafted or miss another FAT forward
-
All these picks. Ainge is stuck because he can't make the right trade
-
If Nets get Davis, we lose another cat.
Mike
-
Lavert. Stupid Nets.
I really wanted him :( great shooter. We'll see if he can come back from injuries.

That isn't true at all. Draymond Green, Charles Barkley, Grandmama Larry Johnson, Milsap, and you can go on and on. Lots of pretty good players have been undersized PFs.
-
Lavert. Stupid Nets.
well thank god the Nets also think they should spend a first round pick on a second round talent
-
With all the euros you would have thought we take a center. I just don't get the lack of desire from Danny to get bigs?? >:(
-
[dang it] I really like Lavert
A bit of a stretch after his injuries, though
Reminds me of the Chris McCullough last year
-
Tommy is going to have fun pronouncing Guerschon Yabusele.
-
They traded Thaddeus Young for a guy who was going to go in the 2nd round?

Different positions, but what are the chances this guy becomes better than Thad Young? Better hope they strike gold with that future 2nd rounder.

A fat chucker that to can get at 31. What a waste. First brown and now this stiff. Ainge is so overrated

I work in IT too, usually just means spinning up a few small web servers to accommodate the request...judging the average traffic in this board, probably not worth to do so. I mean it isn't entirely bad
-
Lavert. Stupid Nets.
Depends. If he stays healthy, he should be really good. Dude is a lottery talent and if not for injuries, he would not draft.
High risk pick, but there's a good amount of reward here.

They are tanking for next year's draft... oh wait...
-
I'm getting the feeling that even if Davis drops to 23, Danny takes another draft and stash
-
Next year's pick is GOLD.
Doesn't matter the way things are going tonight. Going to be yet another disappointment next year with horrible picks and Danny being stingy and thinking he needs to blow every other GM out of the water in trades..

Great pick if he's not hurt.

-
Hawks have to take Davis don't they? Unless they know they are sure they can keep Horford.
-
If you are saying the last like 8 picks are reaches maybe you need to realize that the picks are all very even at this point.

Next year's pick is GOLD.
Doesn't matter the way things are going tonight. Going to be yet another disappointment next year with horrible picks and Danny being stingy and thinking he needs to blow every other GM out of the water in trades..
I'm convinced Danny would not take the best pick next year if we had the no 1 ........
He is just that stupid.
-
I'm going to be annoyed if Danny passes on Davis, Luwawu, Skal again.
-
I'm getting the feeling that even if Davis drops to 23, Danny takes another draft and stash
Probably.
yup, probably still feeling stung by picking another top prospect that dropped unexpectedly in Gerald Green.
-
Who's James Stewart? He says this:
I believe the Bulls ask price to the Celtics for Jimmy Butler was #3, #16, #23, next years Brooklyn pick, Smart, Bradley and Crowder.

After the last few drafts I have little to no faith in Ainge. He is just not very good at this

With all these highly ranked players still available do we think it is possible the "draft experts" were wrong in their rankings?
-
Take skal
-
With all the euros you would have thought we take a center. I just don't get the lack of desire from Danny to get bigs?? >:(
I think he is going to avoid low upside guys who project as almost guaranteed solid rotation guys with little star potential.

Bembry

Excellent pick by Atlanta.

That's a ridiculous price - until you consider that Ainge is going to p--- away the picks anyway playing his "I'm smarter than everyone else" ego games.
Then, it just becomes too much for Butler.
-
Good news is that diamond stone should be available near #31
-
LOL at this thread. "I don't know who this player is, so I'm going to assume he sucks because I know more than the GMs paid to make these picks!"
this basically
all we know for now is that Danny thinks differently than DraftExpress.
Yea and that's worked out pretty ****ty hasn't it. Get a clue
if you are upset, consider doing sthg better than typing angry messages to strangers in a sports forum.
-
Bembry is mad underrated
-
Why Deyonta??, Celtics got our beloved Mickey, #freemickey
-
BEmbry meh
-
LOL at the certainty with which most of you guys were speaking about Butler to the TWolves .
This board is really slow. annoying. Also why do people report that the celtics made a surprising pick at 16. I think i said ainge was going to do something different there. What did people really expect then to waste it on overrated talent they don't need?
Because they are knee jerk and make up their minds before the fact, even though this draft is clearly very flat talent wise after the first few picks. And also because journalists who sit around and mock draft are clearly so plugged in and the best evaluators of talent in the NBA. So much so that they don't get paid to do it and work as journalists.
That's what I mean though. They are the ones reporting crap and then they are like surprising pick. It isn't surprising. They also weren't nice enough to get this board up and running right on the biggest night of the year either. I've worked in IT and don't do that crap to people either.
uncalled for. relax.
It is called for though. I'm trying to watch the draft and post here and it's taking forever lol.
There are at least 30 sites associated with so nation that are going crazy with traffic right now. Heck, we have like 100 people on this thread alone. Traffic is gonna be high, and they're not gonna spend 3x the money to make you slightly less inconvenienced 1 day a year.
More reason why they should have it up and running since they have the traffic to do that. I don't know man. I have worked for good companies in the past and when something like that happens people usually apoligize for it. People have gone downhill. It's no different than reporting crap and then acting surprised. And then acting like it's somehow my fault.

Next year's pick is GOLD.
Whose? The Nets or the C's?
The pick we're getting from the Nets via swap. They're going for upside projects; I'm giddy.
-
Who's James Stewart? He says this:
I believe the Bulls ask price to the Celtics for Jimmy Butler was #3, #16, #23, next years Brooklyn pick, Smart, Bradley and Crowder.
Wow, that would have been awful
And yet Ainge is an idiot for not trading for him ::)
If that's the deal, I take back what I said about Danny.
That's the thing though: we don't know and may never know. Criticizing him based on rumors is just stupid
-
-Yabusele won't join the Celtics this season, but he's an upside pick with a game similar to Atlanta's Paul Millsap. You can't go wrong with a guy like that. -
The French Larry Johnson Fran Franschilla said.
-
Jimmy Stewart is probably the news guy from Felger and Mazz (if it's that Jimmy Stewart) And he is most likely joking.
-
Apparently he's the "executive producer of felger and mazz" and a CBSBostonSports.com contributor. 20k twitter followers.
-
Cheick Diallo for us at 31?
-
Can we please drop this discussion about how a free site, where we all spend way more of our time than we should, is running a bit slow (and it's only a bit for me) because it's the busiest night of the year for them and their traffic is probably up 15-fold. Thank you. ::)
Mike
-
What a disappointing night. I think Danny has unrealistic expectations after some of his big hits with trades in KG and others.
Or what you said but it's the fans that have the unrealistic expectations. A minute ago you were saying Butler was a T Wolf.
Um, no I didn't. Don't put words in my mouth. I said I'm going to be ticked if he's a Timberwolf on a trade of Lavine and Dunn. Get it right..

Davis or a shooter.....???

you should be ecstatic. Danny didn't pick your whipping by Bender. of course it's not like you've stated who he SHOULD have picked but then people would be able to hold you to it when that player busted

He's a producer for a radio show, so that's a given
-
About 4-5 good options here. Let's see what Danny does.
-
hmm, Sac gets the next pick. must be Davis
-
With all these highly ranked players still available do we think it is possible the "draft experts" were wrong in their rankings?
Impossible. It's the draft that has gone wrong.
-
Who's James Stewart? He says this:

At least they didn't ask for the TD garden ?
My Twitter sources are saying Chicago asked for an arena swap and a few one way tickets from CHI to BOS due to how many Boston players were involved in the deal. That was when Ainge decided to back away.
-
Richardson
Tons of lottery type talent on the board. Be nice to have 24 and 26 now also.
-
Back on the clock! Tons of great options: Davis, Skal, Zizic, Zubac, Korkmaz, LUWAWU!!!

KC Jones is THE guy for bulls reporting. Comparing him to Sherrod is stupid.

Davis or a shooter.....???
I'm guessing a combo of the two, a short hard nose defender who they LOVE but can't shoot.
-
21 picks have been made, and 7 of the top 21 prospects on TheVertical are still on the board. Not a great prediction rate there.

Please Labissiere at 23 and Brice Johnson at 31

You have the attention span of a four-year-old.
Said MANY times that Kris Dunn was the obvious pick. Stand 100 percent by that.
Keep making excuses for Ainge. That's the entertainment value of this night now.
-
another SG for Sac. well, if you fail, try and try again -- get a SG every year until one can actually shoot
-
It better be Deyonta Davis at 23.
-
Malachi will be [dang] god
-
It better be Deyonta Davis at 23.
Agreed
-
Jordan screws us again. Malachi gonna be good

C'mon Danny, take Skal (or I guess Davis) here!

I would love Davis here. IF you are putting a premium on athleticism in this draft, go all in. Brown, Yabu, and Davis would make for very athletic 3/4/5 prospects.
-
Davis or Skal, come on.
-

Sacramento having a disappointing draft. Hard to see Cousins reacting well to this. I think he'll be demanding a trade in the next 6-12 months.
-
Zizic
-
Zizic
-
I like this.
-
we took Zizic
-
Ainge tonight: http://youtu.be/12EgM5REzeg
-
here we go again!
-
I have never not cared about a Celts pick in the first round as much as this one right now
-
Ughhh Zizic...
-
Ante Zizic. Yay another draft and stash.
-
Got our draft and stash. Again.
Mike
-
Zizic is good.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx9Fu7NzwtY
-
Finally a big guy!!!
-
Ante Zizic?
Good enough. Good enough.
-
Gotta be Murray for the 76ers
-
nice
-
Zizic is good.
Yeah. Not sure why those fans are mad.
-
Got our draft and stash. Again.
Nope. Zizic is coming over this year.
-
More Euro trash
-
omg... Zizic!
Ok, I kind of like this guy, but I doubt he is coming over this season. Euro stash?
-
Zizic is good.
Yeah C's fans are out of control tonight... Zizic is good value at 23
-
Got our draft and stash. Again.
Nope. Zizic is coming over this year.
if he comes over, then it's a very solid pick. finally a true big man.
-
Good pick.
-
LOL Adam Silver can barely pronounce his name
-
Danny Ainge is so far ahead of everyone else in this draft it's unbelievable. It's like watching Garry Kasparov playing against Ken Cohen. Just unfair.
-
I like this.
Yeah, me too. Nice pick-up at 23
-
I like this pick...He looks like a keeper and a center to boot...I have hope for this one...
-
We already got a rim protector with size and you guys still complaining? smh..
-
Great pick.
Some of you guys are hopeless.
-
Say hi to Colton iverson zizic ::)
-
Danny is cleaning up. Zizic is a legit big man who we can stash too.
-
Excellent pick. What happened to Furkan Korkmaz? Any chance we get him in round 2?
-
Gotta be Murray for the 76ers
If they take Murray, I think it would've made sense to try and take Baldwin and get the 76ers to bite since he wasn't in their range.
-
Seems like a limited big man. Useful but not exciting.
-
Ughhh Zizic...
You guys are never satisfied are you
-
IMO Brown is defensible and I like both Yabusele and Zizic.
I'm pretty content with this draft to this point. I was hoping for the franchise-defining trade as we all were, but this is good with me.
-
As it turns out, Silver is taking a long time to announce picks because he needs to learn how to produce each name
-
Say hi to Colton iverson zizic ::)
Zizic is legit, he's no Colton Iverson. Great pick.
-
Ughhh Zizic...
You guys are never satisfied are you
I was satisfied after they won the championship. That was great
-
25 PER at 18 years old in a good European league.
It's hard not to like this pick.
-
owww another southern european ;D ;D ;D
if only we could have had a Greek too
-
Zeller, Turner and Sully have to be a bit concerned. We can stash these guys though. But areas of need where we can upgrade ultimately.
-
France...now Croatia..next stop China? They spent a lot of time scouting Zizic so this is encouraging we got him
-
The celts fans in the stands are hilarious
-
Journeyman at best. Won't see the court for years. Disappointed in Ainge
-
Zizic is a top 3 rebounder of the draft along with sabonid
-
it's funny watching people defend this strategy. just draft dudes that never play and won't help the product on the floor. what the Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. is the point of this Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.? four first rounders the last two years and they never let them play .
keep paying those nba league pass prices celtics fans. keep ordering those season tickets. get beat by Atlanta round one.
-
like the Zizic pick.
-
Gotta be Murray for the 76ers
If they take Murray, I think it would've made sense to try and take Baldwin and get the 76ers to bite since he wasn't in their range.
Yeah, I'd be willing to bet that Danny talked to Philly about it and they didn't offer much. Like 24 and 26 for 16
-
sixers should take dejounte murray
-
I like this pick, big guy with a mean streak? Maybe my favorite pick lol.
-
Got our draft and stash. Again.
Nope. Zizic is coming over this year.
Hope you're right. He looks pretty good.
Mike
-
I like Luwawu. Sucks that he'll have to be a 76er
-
sixers pick is in... lol try to say that name 10x fast!
-
Ante Zizic?
Good enough. Good enough.
Finally someone I wanted.
7'3 wing span. Better than DeAndre Jordan and close to Dwight. Not as good as Gobert but still good.
-
I would really like to see Danny package a couple of those 2nds to move back up to grab Davis or Skal at this point.
-
Zizic is a top 3 rebounder of the draft along with sabonid
We got ourselves tristan thompson. At his age he was a terror on the glaas
-
25 PER at 18 years old in a good European league.
It's hard not to like this pick.
Yet there are people complaining lol
-
Brice Johnson 25
-
25 PER at 18 years old in a good European league.
It's hard not to like this pick.
Yet there are people complaining lol
I m jumping up and down
Fire works
Danny is the best est. ever .....woo hoo
-
I like Luwawu. Sucks that he'll have to be a 76er
agreed. solid draft for the Sixers tonight so far. was getting optimistic he might slide to 31. oh well. still looking like we'll be able to get someone at 31 that should have gone in the first round.
what's looking cruddy is a top team will land Davis late in the first round
-
I would really like to see Danny package a couple of those 2nds to move back up to grab Davis or Skal at this point.
The only downside to that is the fourth guaranteed contract. And the way this draft is going, who knows if those guys will even go before then?

Yes. He was called the best rebounder of his generation in Europe. He does the things we need from our big men. I love this pick.
-
Ughhh Zizic...
You guys are never satisfied are you
Firstly, we should've only took two guys in the first round and traded the other.
I wanted Davis or Skal over Zizic, but I understand the Zizic pick. My frustration is more about Danny not pulling the trigger on a trade earlier.
-
Zizic is a top 3 rebounder of the draft along with sabonid

All we need now is Lebron, Kyrie, Love and J.R... Boom. Banner 18.
For what it's worth, I actually like the Zizic pick. I'm just still let down by Brown at #3.

Zizic. Now, that's a pick I can get behind.

Danny wants to have the. Biggest NBA team in the league .....in terms of number of players ...LOL

-
Ooooh I like Johnson. Doc's made a couple of very good picks (and one very bad trade) today
-
Ainge's plan may be to pursue building a team through free agency this and next summer then building an instant bench with Eurostashes with upside.
-

I was expecting Danny to make a deal but overpaying to get what you want is not a trade worth making. Still disappointed but will need to see some concrete offer that was fair yet rejected by danny before getting irate

Adam Himmelsbach: Guerchon Yabusele said possibility of being a draft and stash “is not a problem for me.” Said he did not expect to go 16. 15 mins ago – via Twitter AdamHimmelsbach
-
Boston was going to pick Hernangomez at 16, which forced Denver to take him at 15 instead of waiting until 15 like they originally planned.
-
In Zizic Own Words:
“I am a type of modern center. I run the floor very well. I can finish with strong dunks. In defense I can close down the paint. I have the ability to block shots, collect rebounds. Effort is something you must have. It's like other basketball skills. It is something natural. I was born with it.”
“I am 19-years old, so I am still a young player. I can work on everything and can improve every part of my game. For some things I need time, and for some things I need a lot of practice. I practice very hard and I try to watch older and more experienced players. I think I am going on the right way.”
“My dream is playing in the NBA. I still have a contract with Cibona, and I will see. I don't know yet (if he will enter the draft). I think I am ready for the NBA, but I must work a lot. I need more experience to play on a higher level, like the NBA.”
He has the best PER out of Euro Players and the youngest of them all...better PER than Saric, Hernangomez and Luwawu- It sounds like he wont be coming over for a few years though..we will see...

I was expecting Danny to make a deal but overpaying to get what you want is not a trade worth making. Still disappointed but will need to see some concrete offer that was fair yet rejected by danny before getting irate
3 for Noel, Covington, 24, 26 is more than fair. We should have taken it.
-
did Wilbon really just say Rasheed Wallace in reference to that UNC kid... 😄
Brice has the potential to be the steal of the draft
-
Korkmaz
-
Ughhh Zizic...
You guys are never satisfied are you
Firstly, we should've only took two guys in the first round and traded the other.

Yeah, if that James Stewart tweet is even remotely true, he was absolutely right to keep the pick
-
It looks like Danny targeted athleticism and toughness with picks 16+23.
Yabu and Zizic were also top players in the Adriatic when you compare them to the likes of NBA draftees Saric, Hernangomez, and Luwawu:
(http://content.draftexpress.com/gallery/General/1453922402.jpg)
6'11.5" with a 7.25" wingspan and 249 lbs. Pretty impressive/legit size too. Best rebounder and PER in that league as well.

I thought Hinkie was gone. It seems like the Sixers are still drafting the same way i.e. taking guys at loaded positions because they are best available or players that won't play for them for at least a year.
-
Korkmaz
Maybe you haven't been around, but we agreed to no post any spoilers here
-
bright side, weve taken a 3, 4, and a 5.
-
This was a moneywise draft for the Celtics
-
I would really like to see Danny package a couple of those 2nds to move back up to grab Davis or Skal at this point.
The only downside to that is the fourth guaranteed contract. And the way this draft is going, who knows if those guys will even go before then?
Mike
Isn't Yab a draft and stash? That would mean only 3 guaranteed
Adam Himmelsbach: Guerchon Yabusele said possibility of being a draft and stash “is not a problem for me.” Said he did not expect to go 16. 15 mins ago – via Twitter AdamHimmelsbach
That works, thanks.
Mike
-
Darn, Korkmaz would have been great at 31.
-
Philly is having one heck of a draft.
-
I like the 76ers picks, but they should have gotten a PG

Korkmaz

was that confirmed though? I heard it as a rumor and I agree that I would have pulled the trigger on that deal. Noel starts at center. Covington is a solid back up behind Crowder and based on who's still available at 24 and 26 right now, we would have made out very well.
-
Knicks going after Durant to pair with Carmelo, Rose and Porzingis..Ugh..hope it doesnt happen..Lets pray Jackson does not use his ring magic to get him into NY....
-
Danny Ainge is so far ahead of everyone else in this draft it's unbelievable. It's like watching Garry Kasparov playing against Ken Cohen. Just unfair.
This is my early pick for post of the night.
One TP already, and I'll be back all weekend plowing TPs into this guy's account.
Haven't laughed this hard all night.
If there were a CelticsBlog HOF for posts, this one belongs in granite.
-
Sounds like Zizic's status for next year is kind of up in the air:
https://twitter.com/AdamHimmelsbach/status/746167454259359744
Ante Zizic said Celtics didn't talk to him about draft and stash: "I need the day to think about it, talk with the guys from the club."

Noel and Covington. I think Noel has a better career as a DPOY than Brown. I question Brown's mentality and focus long-term. But even if he does pan out to be pretty good, that swing position 2/3 is our absolute strongest position. And he doesn't fill the need of shooting or scoring that we need either.
At least Noel would've made us a contender for the top defensive team in the league. I'm also peeved about some other moves, like not being able to move up and grab Chriss for peanuts. Chriss has just as high of a ceiling as Brown and he's just as much of a project, so it doesn't make sense why we wouldn't try and get him. I'm still kind of ticked about not getting Young either for cheap. Yeah, it'll be nice when we have cap space, but we're more than likely not going to be able to get two max free agents anyways.
-
So out of three picks two are Euro's we won't see for years..but yet James Young is still on this team
-

If Durant has even an ounce of common sense, he'll laugh Phil Jackson out of the building...

Seeing the Skal Labissiere thing and the Deyonta Davis thing is one of the ways coaches will start telling their players not to leave early
-

No, Zizic is coming over right away.
-

He just said that was not decided yet
-
In Zizic Own Words:
“I am a type of modern center. I run the floor very well. I can finish with strong dunks. In defense I can close down the paint. I have the ability to block shots, collect rebounds. Effort is something you must have. It's like other basketball skills. It is something natural. I was born with it.”
“I am 19-years old, so I am still a young player. I can work on everything and can improve every part of my game. For some things I need time, and for some things I need a lot of practice. I practice very hard and I try to watch older and more experienced players. I think I am going on the right way.”
“My dream is playing in the NBA. I still have a contract with Cibona, and I will see. I don't know yet (if he will enter the draft). I think I am ready for the NBA, but I must work a lot. I need more experience to play on a higher level, like the NBA.”
He has the best PER out of Euro Players and the youngest of them all...better PER than Saric, Hernangomez and Luwawu- It sounds like he wont be coming over for a few years though..we will see...

Did Davis kill a hooker or something?

I'm starting to get excited about 31 and 35.

Yeah but if he pays attention to those reports he won't have as much to complain about

Yes, it was confirmed by several accounts, such as Stein and Woj, I believe. It was even on the table most of the day, yet Danny turned it down. That's why it's such a disappointing night. Danny is irrational when it comes to winning trades.

There's absolutely no way that happens. They only have four players on the roster as it is, and they're not exactly good fits for Durant at that. They won't even get a meeting, more than likely.
-
Why have Davis and Labissiere slid so far? Is there some scandal/scuttlebutt that we don't know about??
-
Will the San Antonio Spurs take Deyonta Davis and turn him into an All-Star?
Sometimes, it's alright to drop. Ask Draymond Green.
-
Deyonta at 31?
-
Would like to snag Davis or a good shooter soon.

Wyc basically confirmed it in his rant. Claimed it was a low ball trade. Not sure what the Celtics were smoking but that was a darn good trade. Boston will regret not taking it. Basically chose Brown over Noel, Covington, Luwawu, and Korkmaz (that is just using the players Philly took). Unless Brown is a HOF type player, I don't see how it will ever work out in Boston's favor. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if Covington has a better career than Brown yet alone Noel.
-
Deyonta at 31?
Hopefully.
-
Why have Davis and Labissiere slid so far? Is there some scandal/scuttlebutt that we don't know about??
That's what I'm wondering. I can understand some sliding, but this is very far for both of them. What gives?
-
Deyonta at 31?
Doubt it. San Antonio and Golden State are too smart to pass on a lottery potential talent at 29-30.
-
Deyonta at 31?
won't get past the Spurs or GSW
-

Both will be available at 31 -> Danny will pick another draft and stash.

Wyc clearly refused to name any details of any trade offers. He made that crystal clear that teams don't do that, and he didn't want to do that, so we have no idea what was really offered.
-

Simply put, Jordan Mickey and Ante Zizic are better than those 2
-
Well if Danny believes that Jaylen Brown will be a star and Noel and Covington don't move the meter significantly, then he made the right move. It all depends on how well JB turns out.
Don't tell me you think the 24th/26th picks had any real value.

Nah both won't be there. One of them is getting picked soon.
-
Who is Pascal Siakam. I mean seriously I haven't seen his name anywhere.
-
We still have 5 picks to go. I doubt it would be too difficult to flip 2nd round picks for future second round picks. It seems that would make sense for a couple of them since we haven't move any in a trade.

(1) Production - neither guy produced much on the previous level
(2) Attitudes - there's rumors about both about how hard they work.

Davis to replace Ezili or Skal as a stetch 4

Relax boys and girls, we only need that Jaylen Brown will be the next Lebron James, nothing more

It's like Nogueira or Cabaculo

Good pick by the Kings. Finally did something right today.

Well, at the very least, we won't have to hear LarBrd33's crap about "how valuable to the rest of the league" Okafor and Noel are if they couldn't even get anyone to trade for them.

you just draft draft and stash players like the Sixers did

Watch the Warriors pick Bentil--would be their type of player....Hope we get him.

It's a complete 180 from their attempts to only play PGs

Eh...

All of our picks this year are strong, physical monsters with extreme discipline and work ethic.
Brad Stevens guys.

Kings have three bigs from Kentucky

Wait. DId I read that right?
Skal is going to the Kings?
ANOTHER BIG!?

Eh...
doubt spurs get davis

If so, I like him next to cousins, but he'll never get time with all the Centers they have
Maybe DMC can teach him to have a mean streak

Wcs
Cousins
Scal
Kings are just so blah

Yeah, right, as if that ever stopped him
-

Fine, Sacremento's just gonna play bigs
-
Did Davis kill a hooker or something?
Nah, he just parked at the curb and honked when he came to one of Danny's grand-daughter's house to take her out on a date rather than go to the front door like a "proper gentleman".
-
Any hope left for a second round steal??

Cousins, WCS, Koufos, SKal, Papa... Good freaking grief. Perhaps they're thinking of trading WCS or Cousins?
-
Didn't even consider Murray here, but I LOVE that pick
-
Interesting pick from the Spurs.
-
Spurs stole Dejonte Murray. This is the guy the Sixers should have taken. Watch D Murray understudy under Tony Parker and turn into a star. Has all the physical measurements for a modern NBA guard.
-

Nope. He's gonna be the big guy after Sacramento trades DMC to us for 31, 35 and James Young.
Mike
-
Spurs gonna spur
-
A lot of talent still there for us at #31.
-
Well, if Davis makes it by GSW, I can't imagine Danny not finally biting the bullet and taking him. now that I've said that, he's taking Zubac without a doubt
-
Oh boy...
Warriors are up. Festus Ezeli is up for a big payday. This is the place for Deyonta Davis.
-
We can have a steal at 31 if Danny is smart.
-
Spurs gonna spur
pretty much
-
Why all the noise about Deyonta Davis, he will be selecteed where he deserves, he ain't no better than Mickey!!
-
They need to replace Barnes who is coming to Boston
-
I just can't wait anymore, just refresh Woj's twitter after every pick.
-
Well, if Davis makes it by GSW, I can't imagine Danny not finally biting the bullet and taking him. now that I've said that, he's taking Zubac without a doubt
interesting, Davis and family just left the green room. hope this experience gives this kid the drive to make everyone that passed on him kick themselves for not taking him
-
We could get both Croatian bigs in Zubac. Brogdon is interesting. Wiltjer can really shoot as can Uthoff (i think, 6'10 guy from Iowa). Felder was great at the combine but another small point guard isn't a way we will probably go. The really tall Chinese guy could be a stash.
-
21 picks have been made, and 7 of the top 21 prospects on TheVertical are still on the board. Not a great prediction rate there.
TP.
There are no reaches. These mock "experts" don't know anything.
Sounds like TheVertical puts the 'mock' in mock draft ;) ;D.
-
Can someone explain to me what Sacramento is doing? The NBA should be able to take teams away from bad ownerships. They have zero clue what they are doing it seems.
-
Damian Jones so Davis will drop to 31 for Ainge to pass up again.
-
LOL people gonna go crazy in a minute
-
Damian Jones? Wow.
Warriors passed on Davis too?
-
ready 5 u guys to be angered lol
-
There's no way we can't take Davis now.
Mike
-
Wow. What are we doing.
-
Oh Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.
-
Like to get a shooter here soon that plays for Boston next year....or Davis
-
Are we actually going to get Davis??
-
Damian Jones? Wow.
Warriors passed on Davis too?
yeah, the dead hooker comment earlier isn't so easily dismissed now
-
Trading Davis to the Grizzlies. Oof.
-
People on here are about to be very angry.
-
Damian Jones has prototypical size and some skills but lacks polish and BBIQ. Warriors rolling the dice on a 7 footer. Not a bad pick at the end of the 1st.
-
Damian Jones so Davis will drop to 31 for Ainge to pass up again.
To be fair, he was passed by 30 times tonight...
-
Davis and zuzic would be upgrades to Zeller and Sully
-
I'm guessing that other Croatian big man if he is a stash.
-
Ooh, I love that trade.
-
Suns just going to play bigs
I think Skal is going to Kings right?
If so, I like him next to cousins, but he'll never get time with all the Centers they have
Maybe DMC can teach him to have a mean streak
Cousins, WCS, Koufos, SKal, Papa... Good freaking grief. Perhaps they're thinking of trading WCS or Cousins?
Two seconds for Koufos.
-
we got him!! 20+ picks later than i thought he'd go...........
-
Boston taking Davis
-
we got him!! 20+ picks later than i thought he'd go...........
poor guy

So that's the trade you make, Danny... Current mood..

EDIT: I'm seeing a trade for a Clippers 2019 1st? Are there protections on it?
-
C'mon guys, spoilers
-
we got him!! 20+ picks later than i thought he'd go...........
but traded lol~
-
Davis :D
-
Yup and so was Deandre Jordan. Question is, will Danny end Davis' slide at 31, or is he completely off our draft board?
Damian Jones so Davis will drop to 31 for Ainge to pass up again.
To be fair, he was passed by 30 times tonight...
-
Ooh, I love that trade.
Ditto. Any word on the protections on the pick?
-
fire danny chants are ready to come on
like YESSSSS
but no!
-
If that pick is unprotected it could be real nice.
-
Can we please stop with the spoilers?
Thank you,
Mike
-
Any details on the trade?
-
Ainge's first two pix...
Cornerback
Middle linebacker
We gonna bully other teams.
We gonna be short, but we gonna beat on you.
Get Smart on the floor with these guys and start the engine on the rescue wagon out back.
Golden State rewrites NBA game with lots of pretty threeees? They all gonna be on IR after the C's play'em.
(I'm trying to be happy here.)
-
Ooh, I love that trade.

1-14 in 2019, 1-14 in 2020, 2 2nds after that.

I am Danny Ainge. You are all mean.
-
The Celtics took no steps forward tonight and given what the Pacers have done and what the Knicks are primed to do just took 2 giant steps backwards.
-
it's really unbelievable. you have eight picks in the draft and it's almost like they didn't even participate.
-
Givony of DX said that a lot of players who dropped had agents who insisted on avoiding competitive workouts interacting with other players.
-
We take Davis but traded him?? Oh man I hope this doesn't bite us in the tail... Is the Memphis 1st round 19 pick going to be awesome?
-
What was the trade??
-
Seriously? ::)
Mike
Yeah, I don't know. I think next year we need two separate draft threads, one with and one without spoilers.
-
8 picks tonight and we were expecting fireworks, ended up being a damp squib :(
-

Really aggravated at the night. Can't take any more going to bed. Just an all around disappointing night.
Just think this could have been the night
Noel
Covington
Yabusele
Zizic
Luwawu
Korkmaz/Labissiere/Murray
Davis
Lots of high end potential there and that is with Ainge taking Yabusele way too darn early.
-
What was the trade??
31st & 35th pick to Memphis in return for a 2019 1st rounder(I believe that is via the Clippers)
-
I'm confused, I thought we already had a future first from Memphis that couldn't be conveyed until they moved another pick to Denver (or someone). can someone clarify what we own from Memphis and how it's impacted by this deal?
-
Kay Felder in the second round, common Danny , Do it!!
-

Still would be good value at #31 for a guy potentially going in the lottery.
So now we have the Grizzlies 2019 1st and the LAC 1st they had. Are the Clips going to be bad again in less than three years?
-
apparently it's the clippers' 2019 pick, not memphis.
hard to project where they'll be then, probably still a playoff team.
would much rather have davis.
-

Guys, this is what happens when you have way too many picks.
You reach for draft and stash candidates and sell off quality second rounders for future picks that might never vest.
What a crap show this draft has been.

It'll probably be a pick in the early 20s, but could be late teens. Not a bad return, although I would have loved Davis

That is what happens when you swing and miss with whatever it was that you were trying to do with 8 freaking picks in one draft. You get to the 2nd round, and everyone knows you need to unload them and you have lost a lot of leverage.

this is an interesting piece of information
having said this, this was a doomsday for DX: I have to check but I'm almost sure they got everything wrong outside the top-2. A completely random mock should have done better than this.
-
I can't see the Clippers falling off a cliff in just three years but I guess Golden State will still be good, the Spurs will be, Portland is on the way up, Timberwolves are looking up, Houston is a wildcard, OKC is probably heading down, so I don't see the Clippers falling past the 5 or 6th seed and we are losing 3 years of the picks. Seems pretty bad.

Yep, yep. Pretty disappointing. Noel would have been our anchor in the middle for years to come, and he's even a hometown boy. Yet, we decide to take a prospect that has BUST Derrick Williams 2.0 written all over him.
-
Trader Danny is gonna keep us hanging until he can finally swing that big trade. Or retire.
But free agency is around the corner. Fireworks! Heh.
-
31st pick is a borderline 1st rounder though. It really depends on the protections on the 1st rounder we get back. Giving up #31 and #35 appears to be a steep price to pay for a pick that might not convey. If the protections rumored are true.
-
I don't ever want to hear from people saying there's no such thing as too many picks.
-

Maybe it is a free agent signing or two and not a trade.
-
Overall , pretty meh feeling though I son't think they did that bad. Everyone was clearly waiting for fireworks that never materialized so I think it it understandable that anything other than that is a let down.
Jaylen Brown, to me at least, isn't a bad pick. 19 with a high ceiling and projects to at least be a solid defender right out of the gate. C's need athletic wing players. He is a project though so it will take a few years to see what you got. I think people are being overly harsh on the pick.
The French guy pick I didn't get. I saw a tweet that it could be salary cap related to help the C's open up some more cap space. He can at least shoot the 3.
Zizic is a good pick. He can rebound and we need that. Had great numbers for a 19 year old in a competitive league. Sounds like he is coming over to the USA.
-
Do you guys realize we have limited roster space? This forum is nuts tonight.
This is a situation Danny should have been prepared for beforehand. Just throwing away these supposed "assets" for nothing because "other teams are trying to rip us off" is a sign of incompetence.
If nobody's trading with you, maybe you should stop stockpiling draft picks...

I think it is a great trade. This is exactly the sort of pick consolidation trade that people were begging for and there is a non-negligible chance that Doc Rivers can run the Clippers into the ground just in time for the Celtics to get a near lottery pick out of it.

Maybe Danny uses those picks then and some bums on th team to upgrade. #3 16 young, hunter for Noel and Covington and guess what we woulda got rid of picks, gotten our SF and pf and still coulda picked ya ba dabba and detonate Davis. Ainge Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ed himself because he thinks other GM's are idiots

The KG trade and Brooklyn trade has absolutely hurt Danny's ability to trade with and his expectations for trades. No GM wants to look like an idiot like Billy King, and Danny now expects home runs on every single trade. You have to hit a single or a double every once in awhile, too.

Honestly I just don't what's going on.
They assessed the draft talent level as weak - like enough of their current players that they don't think anyone after Brown would be an upgrade to someone already on the roster so they drafted 2 stash players and traded two 2nds for a future first. Actually what I figured they'd end up doing, though you can of course debate the quality of the guys they took.

It wouldn't have even took that! It only would've cost the #3 lol It's absolutely crazy that he didn't take that deal, unless he thinks he can get one of their bigs cheaper later this offseason.
I still say trade Rozier for him. They need a point guard still.

Re-sign Turner and figure out a way to upgrade Sullinger and add a rotation shooter and I'm good with the team. Only way you contend for a title next year is to sign Durrant and that's a huge longshot - at best. So much for Wyc's 'fireworks'.

Danny has to "use" them one way or another so that's sorta a weird question.

I'm sure some end pieces are really great, too, but I'm not gonna start eating them all the time just to find out
I'll just trade a crappy player and pick for them ;)
-
They are not adding through free agency. This roster is chalk full of marginal talent.... hunter, brown, young, rozier, Smart, Johnson, Mickey...
-
I'm not thrilled with the way things turned out, but I think people are being way too hard on the Celtics.
I have no idea what the draft offers were, other than the fact that the Covington/Noel/24/26 rumor seems pretty solid. So we could have traded #3 for one year of Noel and filler (because nobody knew what would be left at 24 and 26). Then he's a FA. So if we want him that much, we can sign him then.
Jaylen Brown could be tremendous. He could also suck. But I'd rather have him than the one year of Noel and other stuff.
15 - I have no idea what to think of this guy. Can't grade it.
23 - If I had to guess now, I'd say that this will turn out to be the best value, given where we picked him up.
31&35 - Yup, very disappointing. I would have liked to have gotten more for those. Memphis won that trade.
It looks like they were so intent on the "killer trade" that they missed some opportunities, like the #8 from Sac. There clearly are things that went very wrong with this draft. But calling it an "F" draft is too far in the negative direction.

Picks past 40 or so are often sold for cash, which isn't "using" them. I think the Nets will buy a late second (not necessarily from us)
-
Some of the commentary of the post-first round reactions is priceless. I mean legit gold. I know, schadenfreude. Last year, people were legit p---ed that Ainge didn't take Robert Upshaw at 16. Like p---ED. It's hilarious to re-read now. Same deal with this year. People need to chill and let the young guys develop.

Amir and Smart are marginal talents? Just because they didn't make a trade does mean the end of the world.

Come on.
Yeah, because it's bifurcated and there's only two options for a GM to be like - Danny Ainge type and always getting fleeced. ::) There's absolutely no way to be in the middle of those two extremes (just like I suggested with hitting singles and doubles).
"This idea is absolutely stupid."

I guess if we just need cash so bad then it will be an ok deal. If cash is the thing of most value to the Celts at this point...I mean that would be weird, but I suppose it might depend on how much we get. If some player after the 40th becomes a very good player then Ainge needs to be held responsible for that and not excused for it.

I have no idea what the draft offers were, other than the fact that the Covington/Noel/24/26 rumor seems pretty solid. So we could have traded #3 for one year of Noel and filler (because nobody knew what would be left at 24 and 26). Then he's a FA. So if we want him that much, we can sign him then.
Jaylen Brown could be tremendous. He could also suck. But I'd rather have him than the one year of Noel and other stuff.
15 - I have no idea what to think of this guy. Can't grade it.
23 - If I had to guess now, I'd say that this will turn out to be the best value, given where we picked him up.
31&35 - Yup, very disappointing. I would have liked to have gotten more for those. Memphis won that trade.
It looks like they were so intent on the "killer trade" that they missed some opportunities, like the #8 from Sac. There clearly are things that went very wrong with this draft. But calling it an "F" draft is too far in the negative direction.
Mike
I look at Noel like I do Hayward: yeah, we could give up #3 to get him, but I think we have a good shot of signing him as a FA next year anyway. The #3 shouldn't be traded for a 1 year rental of anyone that isn't a perennial all star
-
They are not adding through free agency. This roster is chalk full of marginal talent.... hunter, brown, young, rozier, Smart, Johnson, Mickey...
Amir and Smart are marginal talents? Just because they didn't make a trade does mean the end of the world.
I'm so high on Mickey, I think he will be better than Sabonis
-
So we traded away the rondo, the captain and kg for the giddens 2.0 and three Euro's
Gotta do better than that next year
-
Do you guys realize we have limited roster space? This forum is nuts tonight.
This is a situation Danny should have been prepared for beforehand. Just throwing away these supposed "assets" for nothing because "other teams are trying to rip us off" is a sign of incompetence.
If nobody's trading with you, maybe you should stop stockpiling draft picks...
Anige had plenty of offers today, but he felt like they weren't enough.
Of course he did, because he's irrational and thinks he should fleece every single GM that he trades with.
Any details on the fair trades he turned down, or just speculation and that one 76ers trade?
Philly trade for sure, but that's largely been the consensus view on Ainge, even today. He lowballs teams and tries to badger them into lopsided trades. There were several sources that came out today saying how much of a hardass he was being in the trades.
EDIT: For example, it's pretty well accepted that Butler was priced at Crowder and the Brooklyn pick at the deadline. However, it was said that Crowder was virtually "untouchable" in trades with Danny. That's the type of stuff I'm talking about. Greatly overvaluing our prospects and trying to overly-fleece other GMs on EVERY SINGLE TRADE. That just doesn't happen.
-
Some of the commentary of the post-first round reactions is priceless. I mean legit gold. I know, schadenfreude. Last year, people were legit p---ed that Ainge didn't take Robert Upshaw at 16. Like p---ED. It's hilarious to re-read now. Same deal with this year. People need to chill and let the young guys develop.
This. I'm actually getting tired of knee jerk reactions here on CB. Buddy Hield is my guy but I get why Danny chose Jaylen Brown. I remember people getting p---ed with the Olynyk and Rozier pick and they turn out to be solid players. I'm taking 90% of opinions here as a grain of salt. I'll just wait and see how these rookies will pan out.

Don't forget abot Crowder, common'

What was the trade??
31st & 35th pick to Memphis in return for a 2019 1st rounder(I believe that is via the Clippers)
Wow, both picks for one pick in 3 years? That seems pretty crappy.
I think it is a great trade. This is exactly the sort of pick consolidation trade that people were begging for and there is a non-negligible chance that Doc Rivers can run the Clippers into the ground just in time for the Celtics to get a near lottery pick out of it.
I agree, it's a pretty good trade to consolidate a couple 2nd rounders into a future 1st rounder, and I do believe with the protections it will convey. Quality over quantity.
The night didn't go as many expected (no blockbuster trade) but we didn't lose Crowder, Smart, Bradley or even Rozier, Mickey, Hunter. The team is still building and not making hasty moves that will deplete our depth. We did a couple of potential euro-stash selections that may pay off in a few years. We still have the 2017 BKN pick which looks better than ever with Thad Young traded away. Lastly, the Celtics still have gobs of cap space and if they let a few option expire could possibly sign two max players in free agency.

That is actually an excellent way of looking at it. Why give up assets of great value for guys that we are very likely to be able to sign as free agents a year from now? We aren't winning it all this coming season anyway.
-
I haven't been right about a pick yet, although I guess I said they'd trade back from three and get Brown or Bender, but I'm calling Mamadou Ndiaye. I actually watched him work out in a video and he had a decent little shot.
Take a chance, he is 290 so not your typical 7'6" guy.

You're forgetting that we'll have to have ample cap-space for him, which isn't necessarily guaranteed, especially if we go after someone like Hayward, too. He'd also help in our pursuit of other players, too, because he is a very good defensive rim protector that has the potential to be elite.

Yes, Orlando totally overpaid for Ibaka considering his upcoming free agency.

Yay. A guard.

PG, didn't see that coming.

I totally forgot Jackson was available, great value.

have you ever gotten the feeling that the universe is against you? that little eyes are in the woodwork, watching, little mouths smirking at each failure? the gods conspiring to inflict torment after torment upon you, raising your hopes and then crushing them down like a smashed egg and sucking up all the juicy bits that were once pieces of your soul? an army of david sterns plotting against you in some smoky suite while munching on pate and caviar in manhattan?
that's what it felt like watching this draft. especially seeing my boy deyonta davis slip spot after spot, hour after hour, until we finally nabbed him at #31... then promptly traded him away to purgatory in tennessee.
is this a first-world type crisis? sure. will i be alive and healthy tomorrow? most likely.
but it sucks, bad.
i hope ainge knows what he's doing.

Maybe Danny uses those picks then and some bums on th team to upgrade. #3 16 young, hunter for Noel and Covington and guess what we woulda got rid of picks, gotten our SF and pf and still coulda picked ya ba dabba and detonate Davis. Ainge ****ed himself because he thinks other GM's are idiots
Lol.

Sweet. I thought we might take him at 23 but I'm glad we didn't have to. Seems like a similar player to IT so it might be good to be around him.

Outstanding pick at 45. Ainge did surprisingly well trading 31 and 35 for a future 1st , and still grabbing Jackson in this round.

That's the point of cap holds. They give you a cap discount if you're signing a player for more than his cap hold, so you don't need the space. So if Noel has a cap hold of $11 million and signs for $20 million, he'd only count on the cap for $11 million until we sign him. This would let us effectively go over the cap by $9 million if we filled up the rest of our cap space first.

Noel will be an RFA so the Sixers will be able to match any offers. I would have tried to get Noel, Covington and the lesser of the Sixers or King's 2019 1st for the #3 pick.

Demetrius Jackson a solid pick.
This mock had him going in the late 1st round:
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Demetrius-Jackson-7218/
Can shoot and score. Quick first step. Has athleticism and vertical.
At 6'1, not that tall for a guard, but has decent wingspan at 6'5.5".
D-Jax wasn't a need position pick. He's going to have to really fight for minutes with IT, AB, MS, and TR all ahead of him on the depth chart.
-
Rumors are Jackson might be headed to Dallas.
It was an incorrect tweet. The dude meant Boston. He corrected himself in the next tweet
-
Oooh, and Bentil at #51, I like it.
-
Bentil is nice though.
-
FWIW, Kevin O'Connor had Jackson 14th on his board. Great value at #45.
does it make up for taking a guy projected in the 2nd round at #16?
-
Ndiaye, Uthoff, or Wiltjer. Bolomboy maybe. Uthoff is a good shooting 6' 10" SF who can jump. Wiltjer is 6'10" and can really shoot. Ndiaye is just freakishly big but we'd have to teach him to play basketball. I see a lot of D-League in his future.
-

Good. Best pick Boston made. Still shaking my head at the pick of the French chucker at 16.

Can someone confirm whether the 2019 clips pick is confirmed or not?
-
Oooh, and Bentil at #51, I like it.
I swear someone else is drafting for us in the second round. These are solid picks.

Bentil is nice though.
nice pick up but I doubt Danny takes another player that wouldn't have to be stashed for at least a year

he typically does.

Ben Bentil! Another solid pick!

Danny really makes his hay with those 2nd rounders!

A lot of bodies for very few spots. Something has to give with the roster

The last 2 picks have been legit.

Just picked Brandon Bass Jr at 51. I guess that's all you can ask for here.

he has short ass arms...

he typically does.
We just have to hire an Assistant GM to draft for him in the 1st round.

So the second round looks more promising than the first, now let's draft Kay Felder so the rookies that make the team can adjust to IT in summer league
-
I wasn't psyched about the trade, but these last two picks are solid.
-
Bentil and Jackson -A grade- pick up IMO. Nice 2nd round...
-
It's so easy to please celticsblog. All you have to do is draft the guy the mocks draft have projected for your position ::)
-
It's not even that Jaylen Brown is indefensible as a pick. He's a defensible #3 pick. But we needed more than defensible. We were promised more than defensible. We had a chance to acquire a defensive gamechanger at center, a position where we do not currently have a starter. Instead we picked an athletic backup SF who could maybe someday years from now average 15-20 points a game on pretty good efficiency and play pretty good defense. We had a chance to take bold risks and try to convert this roster into a contender now for next season. But the front office and/or the ownership misplaced their balls. I hope they realize this isn't Cleveland. When the '17 season ends without the Celtics spraying champagne, it will have been ten seasons since the last championship. And there will not have been any tragic premature deaths to excuse the failure like the 90's.
-
Glad they got Bentil.
-
FWIW, Kevin O'Connor had Jackson 14th on his board. Great value at #45.

After the top-10 was announced I gave up on this year's draft predictions.

Oooh, and Bentil at #51, I like it.
I swear someone else is drafting for us in the second round. These are solid picks.
seems like the 2nd round has some decent talent this year, too.

Bentil with his 7'1" wingspan? Or someone else?
-
FWIW, Kevin O'Connor had Jackson 14th on his board. Great value at #45.

I used some twisted logic to rationalize that Ainge did that because he (1) wanted Yabusele, (2) wanted to not have to sign 3 first rounders, and (3) thought that second rounders might be easier to move. That, and his first draft and stash choice (Hernangomez) was gone.
-
He did a hell of a lot better in the 2nd round.
I figured out his problem - Danny just tries to be cute and make unconventional picks to prove he's this elite GM. The problem is.. drafting is not his Forte at all. Bargain deals is.
-

I swear someone else is drafting for us in the second round. These are solid picks.
seems like the 2nd round has some decent talent this year, too.
Maybe Ainge swapped out the way Adam Silver does? :P
-
With 58, perry ellis?
-
Ainge is killing it in Round 2.
Maybe the Red Claws will make the playoffs this year.
technically they were in the playoffs last year.
unfortunately only mickey actually showed up.
-
FWIW, Kevin O'Connor had Jackson 14th on his board. Great value at #45.
does it make up for taking a guy projected in the 2nd round at #16?
I used some twisted logic to rationalize that Ainge did that because he (1) wanted Yabusele, (2) wanted to not have to sign 3 first rounders, and (3) thought that second rounders might be easier to move. That, and his first draft and stash choice (Hernangomez) was gone.
Or it's the same explanation he had for picking Rozier 16 last year. Maybe he suspected another team would draft him before we were on the clock again.

Some good guards are going to go undrafted. McClellin probably won't get picked. Payton, Felder, and VanFleet don't look like they will get picked.
-
It's so easy to please celticsblog. All you have to do is draft the guy the mocks draft have projected for your position ::)
Demetrius Jackson wasn't projected this far, so you're talking nonsense
True.
Picking the projected guy is a B-, you gotta do better than that and pick the guy who was projected 20 picks earlier for an A around here.
-
Celticsblog is crazy. All we ever hear is "Danny won't pick foreign players." Then he picks two in the first round, and now he screwed up the first. Come on!

BTW so many players drop down, maybe Yabusele was a pick Danny like and thought would have been taken anyways

Jeeeez!! Felder is gone!!

Garyn Payton 2 I guess!!

Felder is going to Cleveland at 54, bought from Atlanta.

Glad Felder got picked.

I thought he could be good in summer league bacause he has the same ball than IT, maybe not making the team, bt at least to get our rookies to the speed of IT game

The problem is we were going to be on the clock 3, perhaps 4 times before his projected position. Even if he really wanted Zizic, he should have been able to take Yabusele too.
On the other hand, the way this draft went you never know.
-
All in all, I'm not too pleased with this year's draft, but when am I ever? Still bummed out we couldn't get a deal done for an established player a la Jimmy Butler.
I hope Brown will be worth the 3rd pick, I gotta trust Danny with the Yabusele pick, and I really like the Zizic pick at 23.
Considering that I thought this was a relatively weak draft to begin with, I guess I'll give us an...arbitrary C?

I think all the trade rumors leading up to it got everyone's hopes up for trading #3 for an all-star, but in the end Ainge did very well in Round 1.
Brown could turn out to be a superstar, possibly the best player to come out of this draft if he reaches his potential.
The French dude....how can you not like a French Sully with a better attitude and work ethic, who we can also stash abroad?
Zizic is a steal at 23 and FINALLY gives us a talented young center who can rebound like hell and score in the post.
Getting Jackson and Bentil and a future first rounder out of our 2nd round picks is a home run.
-
if the 2019 clips pick is unprotected (ppl were writing rumours earlier- maybe they were just trolling), it's a good trade. Just imagine getting a lottery pick out of two second rounders.

I'd like Uthoff here. Plus outside shooter with a freaky ability to block shots as a SF. Old.

Indifferent about Brown. Don't see a star and hoping he can be a rotation guy.
The pick of French Sully that high is head scratching. Long way from playing in Boston and picked way too high. Don't see him on this team for several years
zizic could help if he is not stashed next year

-
Nader must be an Iverson guy and had agreed to go overseas.
-
Jackson and bentil seem like decent guys to give a cup of coffee in summer league and training camp. Who knows.
-
Fairly good chance that the Clips blow it up this year, in which case the pick will disappear into dust and we can watch Deyonta Davis turn into some Iguodala/Hayward/DeAndre J monster. Unforgivable.
-
Nader has agreed to be stashed in the D League.
-

Lol.

Literally half the guys we worked out went undrafted. Did they stink up the joint that bad?
-
Uthoff and Finney-Smith need a summer league invite.
-
Jackson and bentil seem like decent guys to give a cup of coffee in summer league and training camp. Who knows.
Yes. And perhaps Jackson makes Rozier tradeable. Sixers still need a PG, and Bulls liked him last year too.
I'm mostly disappointed James Young is still on the roster.
-
just noticed that memphis had picked rade zagorac with our #35...
the kid looked good from what i saw, 6'9" wing, long and athletic with upside, can hit some 3s, he was one of the guys i liked.

Well it's a stash pick. Same as Yabu.
So in round 1 we have Jaylen Brown and Zizic (-might- be stash too).
Round 2 D-Jax and Bentil.
Are we going to renounce Sullinger+Zeller or will we be able to sign&trade them for future picks?
-

Nader is largely irrelevant. Our most recent picks in this range included Kris Joseph, ETwaun Moore, and Luke Harangody.
-

Didn't we work out like 100 players? A lot of the workouts are practice bodies to out against the 2 or 3 kids you're actually interested in, because the higher rates players try to stay away from each other. The practice bodies that impress get summer league and/or training camp offers. Maybe one that knocks your socks off get picked in the 50s.
-

The Celtics were serious about trying to find value with the late picks. To feel comfortable that you have found the 58th best guy, you probably have to look at a shortlist of the top 80 guys, probably more.
-

Yeah, that's the thing. Reportedly, Danny got wind last year that the Bulls wanted to pick Rozier before he could pick again, so he picked him at 16. Maybe this was a similar situation. I'm sure we'll hear more about this in the next few days.
man, "galaxy quest" was pretty great. heard they were going to make a sequel but then alan rickman died, so it's up in the air now. bummer.

We will probably renounce no one until a free agent or two that we need he cap room for agrees to come here. It's unlikely that either remains a Celtic, but it keeps the option open. A sign-and-trade is also unlikely, but maybe we could get a future protected second-rounder.
-
Jackson and Bentil were by far the best picks of the night, but not taking GP II at 58 is a huge mistake, imo. As for the best of the undrafted guys, we should look into Payton, Sheldon McClellan, Danuel House, Jameel Warney, Jarrod Uthoff, Daniel Ochefu, Nick Faust, Yogi Ferrell, and Tonye Jekiri.

I imagine that Zeller will be sacrificed in a burning pit along with Kelly Olynyk and Jerebko, in order to satisfy Danny Ainge's severe hatred towards all humans who stand above 6'9".
Mickey and Sully should be safe along with Yagabagazubakdoohickey or whoever his name is that we got with #16.
I'm sure he'll trade Thomas and bradley for a 6'5" / 375 pound PF from the D-league team afterwards since both guys can shoot, and that seems to scare Danny.

#3 Dragan Bender 7-1 225 PF

#23 Ante Zizic 6-11 240 C
#31 Thon Maker 7-1 225 PF/C
#35 Ben Bentil 6-8 229 PF
#45 Zhou Qi 7-2 C
#51 Petr Cornelie 6-11 210 PF/C
#58 Georgios Papagiannis 7-2 C
With that many big men drafted, I feel we are guaranteed to have at least 2 emerge! About half of these guys will be draft and stash though. We just have no roster room for all of them.

Part of Ainge's reputation comes from him being way above average on these late picks.
And the Celtics just got 155 starts out of players taken in the last ten picks this past season.

I feel like we've gotten more mileage from the middle of the draft (late first + early second) than from the very tail end, but perhaps I'm wrong. Too sleepy to tally this right now.

There seem to be a bunch of agreements with undrafted players that have already been in place. The Vertical unleashed a large slew of them right after the draft.

I am an ISU alum and watched every game that Nader played last year. I am pretty surprised that he got drafted. He was somewhat inconsistent for ISU, but he did start the whole year. He had a number of good games, and some highlight reel dunks. He has pretty good length and a bit hot/cold from distance. He has an nba body. I am happy to watch him on the redclaws next year.

Rumors are Jackson might be headed to Dallas.
It was an incorrect tweet. The dude meant Boston. He corrected himself in the next tweet
Good. Best pick Boston made. Still shaking my head at the pick of the French chucker at 16.
44% from three point land is chucking? Ha, ha... Now you have me shaking my head.
Watch some videos on him. Right now he is a very good offensive player. The knock on him is poor defense.
At least get your Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing straight. ;D

So, who's got a crystal ball? How did Ainge do? ;D

All in all a good draft. I preferred bender over brown, but brown will be a good nba player. Yabusele surprised me. Very good offense but poor defense. I guess Ainge projected him as improving. I will trust him on this.
Ziti can was a very good pick.
Best of all, this board will finally shut the hell up about Ainge hating euros. ;D
-
How about Brown's D? I keep hearing that he's a good defender/has good potential, but I haven't got to see much of him in action. Is he a Smart-level type of defender where he'll come in and affect the game on that side of the ball from day one, or is it more based on his athleticism/measurables and his potential as a good defender?
-

I think they say it's more potential to be a good defender.
-
Im meh on the Brown pick, wouldve preferred Dunn, but fine with Brown. I think Dunn, Brown and Bender have the highest upside among the next tier but Brown has the biggest risk. Chriss is next tier for me.
Absolutely no idea on Yabusele, would have to see him in action first.
Love the Zizic pick, it was between him and Zubac and Zizic is the better player right now although Zubac has more upside.

Bender? The guy averaged 5 PPG in Israel. He is a much bigger risk than Brown. Browm is a NBA athlete. Bender is not he has NBA size though, but you have to be concerned with a guy who can't get playing time overseas. Bender was not an all star in his league, at least Zizic was the best center in Europe.
Boy, there are a lot of folks drunk on the Hype Kool-aid this year.

I don't care - he should have taken him. Rosters are always in a state of change, especially one controlled by Danny Ainge. Just cut Young and sign him.
-
Ughhh Zizic...
You guys are never satisfied are you
Firstly, we should've only took two guys in the first round and traded the other.
I wanted Davis or Skal over Zizic, but I understand the Zizic pick. My frustration is more about Danny not pulling the trigger on a trade earlier.
what's the confirmed trade offer in particular that is frustrating you?
I was expecting Danny to make a deal but overpaying to get what you want is not a trade worth making. Still disappointed but will need to see some concrete offer that was fair yet rejected by danny before getting irate
3 for Noel, Covington, 24, 26 is more than fair. We should have taken it.
was that confirmed though? I heard it as a rumor and I agree that I would have pulled the trigger on that deal. Noel starts at center. Covington is a solid back up behind Crowder and based on who's still available at 24 and 26 right now, we would have made out very well.
Wyc basically confirmed it in his rant. Claimed it was a low ball trade. Not sure what the Celtics were smoking but that was a darn good trade. Boston will regret not taking it. Basically chose Brown over Noel, Covington, Luwawu, and Korkmaz (that is just using the players Philly took). Unless Brown is a HOF type player, I don't see how it will ever work out in Boston's favor. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if Covington has a better career than Brown yet alone Noel.
Lol
