The NBA Draft Thread

[B Sox]

Ah I love to see the celtics wallow in mediocrity. Bum *** franchise. Hope they never win a ring again

Celtics are sure wallowing in mediocrity

#3, Crowder, late round picks should be enough for Butler

trading Bradley is just dumb af, Hayward would replace Crowder if they get him

Bradley is a FA next year and probably going to cost $20M or so. Crowder under contract until 2020 at $7M.

lebron james

hes coming within the next 3 year

We could afford LeBron and the whole banana boat gang if they wanna come play together for a year before they retire on the most stacked team of all time

Yea, replace Bradley with Crowder in that trade and boom, Boston should be good to snag Butler.

The more I think about it, the more I reaaally like Butler on this Boston squad, especially with Crowder.

Watched the first two parts of the Celtics/Lakers 30 for 30s, and thought to myself who did these stacked LA and Boston teams seem to get top 3 picks in these drafts? Were the rest of the league's owners completely inept?

 

[buc em]

If the Celtics get Butler and Hayward or Griffin and Hayward or if they somehow find a way to get AD then both teams won this trade

 

[ill steelo]

For what reason would the Pels trade Anthony Davis?

Why trade for Cousins at all if AD isn't untouchable?

Shenanigans starting early.

Can't wait for Thursday.

The way Red fleeced his way to Larry, McHale, Parish, then found a way to grab Len Bias

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Sixers made off like bandits if the Celtics don't land Butler. I understand #1 for #3, LA pick, and Sac pick but not #3 and one of those picks :x

If they do end up with Butler, they should go after Blake instead of white PG

 

[antidope]

Celtics have to take Tatum... What does Josh Jackson give you right now that Jaylen Brown doesn't?

 

[iceinmyveins2]

Celtics are going to feel really stupid if they 1) don't use picks to get Butler. 2) Lakers pick ends up being like #9 or 10. 3) Fultz becomes a superstar.

Wish all three happen.  F celtics

Wonder if Fultz has been hyped too much though given that Ainge willing to give him up just like that - It does seem like over last 5 days Fultz has transformed from a really really good player to the next coming of Lebron

I don't see what the problem would be in having both of them. 2-way wings are probably the most useful players in the league.

 

[stillin729]

Man if the Lakers get the #1 overall pick next year...

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I don't see what the problem would be in having both of them. 2-way wings are probably the most useful players in the league.

They're basically the same player and play the same position as two all stars you'd be targeting. If they don't trade for Butler this is a really bad move

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah Boston taking Tatum would definitely be ainge ish

Wouldn't at all be surprised

As far as not drafting josh jackson because you have jaylen brown, I don't see it that way. No issue having two guys who can do the same type of things and I believe they could play together

For instance, the possibility that George and Leonard could have been teammates... they may have been perceived to be redundant at the time

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

To have the #1 pick and only come away with Tatum at the end of the day would have me on suicide watch if I was a Celtics fan

They better go get Jimmy. Chicago has to make them come up off that BK pick tho, I don't want that protected Lakers pick

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Seems like all signs are pointing to Boston trading the picks so this may all be moot

This has all been funner than the NBA playoffs

 

[Quincy McCall]

Yea', I don't see what one has to do with the other,8-10 players play every night not 5

 

[airuphere23]

Barring injuries, Sixers have the potential to be legit scary for years to come.

Core hasn't played 40 games, I'll wait a bit.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Westbrook
Harden
Durant
Ibaka

Or

Curry
Thompson
Green
Barnes

Or

Fultz
McConnell
Simmons
Embiid

?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If anything philly should be fun to watch. Hopefully one furkan or luwal pan out to be a shooter. In the mean time sign a vet shooter and seems like they can at least be looking good on paper

 

[pmatic]

Don't really like Butler's fit in Boston, but a star is a star.

 

[curtis50cent]

Man...Fultz must have sucked at his workout for the Celtics for them to not even want him.
