Celticsstrong 2021 Historical Draft - VOTES ARE IN

[Somebody]

Going with Reggie Lewis as Nash's backcourt mate.

Reggie will offer length, shore up the defense on the perimeter and add scoring and athleticism.

I'm not too sure about the pick. Don't feel that he was a top 10-20 player at any point in his career and there are still some players available who were in that range during their prime. Thought a certain Celtic great would've been the perfect backcourt mate next to Nash - he couldn't really shoot, but his cutting, finishing and athleticism would've made him a great fit on offence while his incredible defence would've covered Nash really well.

I like it. Biggest what ifs in Celtics history, along with Len Bias.

Loved his early 90s play with an aging Larry. Their game against CHI was EPIC.

Dude was fortunate enough to make an All-Star game prior to his passing. Glad to see him at least sniff his prime.

Reggie DID make an All-Star game once....I'll go with that year.

Thought about that player you're mentioning as well as another one still available and believe Reggie would be the safe pick.

Reliable, long, defensive pest, athletic and could run the floor when needed.

I also think his shooting would've translated well to today's game.

As per Woj: rumors have it that a deal is brewing between Spurs and Grizzlies

[gouki88]

Trade announcement:

Memphis sends: 4th round pick (37 overall), 6th round pick (57 overall), 8th round pick (77 overall)

San Antonio sends: 3rd round pick (30 overall), 7th round pick (70 overall), 8th round pick (71 overall)

[gouki88]

With that, the Grizz are on the clock.

The Memphis Grizzlies select...



Andrei Kirilenko

The guy I wanted at 30 is there for me at 31.

The guy I was leaning towards at 31 should be there at 37.

And I move a later pick up 13 spots.

Spurs are happy with that.

I just wanted Andrei Kirilenko, and I know I can’t trust you scoundrels not to steal him from me

I had contemplated him briefly but went with Peja because I think AK47's skill set is easier to find than someone like Peja's.  I'm sure someone would have taken AK47 soon though as the value is there.

Yeah, I just had a feeling he’d be off the board by the time my next pick rolled around. I love the idea of an imposing front court of pre-injury Artis & AK

He was my Draymond backup lol. Certainly would've picked him in the next couple of rounds

[Moranis]

Suns have pick 5(2) and am looking to move up into 4th round. We can talk about a bump up in lower rounds to complete the deal PM me.

I've got a 3 person list for the round.  So I might be willing to move back if the 3 are gone by my pick.  Depending on how much I move up later on of course.

If my 2 guys are gone by pick 37 I will trade with you in some form.

[Somebody]

Willing to trade down in the fourth round, I have pick 33.

I'm liking how my team is turning out. Envisioning a fast paced team that will keep the opposition on its toes with it's uptempo play, and my next pick will hopefully fit this playstyle perfectly *wink, wink* *hint, hint*

edit: when one of the mods get a chance, could they list each of our teams with our picked players on the first page? It'd be nice to have an easy way to see the full rosters.
