I not going to see the draft because i have to go to study, but my mind is going to be in this forum, i only expect the best for our team, i trust in Danny, Go Celtics!
green room photontilikina is a big guard. I like him
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DC9ScxzXgAAVwee.jpg
Ntilikina looks super tall. I mean, he looks taller than Ball who is reportedly 6'6.
Any chance we're getting a spoiler-free thread this time around?

Server issues have sucked for weeks now.
what is a good estimate of the time the first pick will be announced?
I'm really hoping LA rolls the dice and goes with Fox over Ball. I just want to see his face when it happens, along with Lavar's face.
I'm ready:

Can't believe I fell for all the talk again. I was really hoping for a significant move, either for an established star or an up and coming youngster like Porzingis. I should know better by now.
At this point, I'd rather just have Fultz. Yeah, that LA pick might get us another asset, but Tatum just doesn't have the appeal of someone like Fultz.
So what the heck do they do for 45 minutes???? >:(what is a good estimate of the time the first pick will be announced?
At 6:45, the announcer said that it was less than an hour until Philly is on the clock. That's all I've heard.

Hearing there's good chance @chicagobulls trade for 3rd pick, select Jason Tatum.
Mannix saying that Tatum is our guy.... IF we keep the pick.
Lavar's mouth + Rose's drivel = almost unwatchable draft.
Omg, Lavar is such a ****. Shut your mouth.
The Lakers and the Ball family deserve each other.
Mannix saying that Tatum is our guy.... IF we keep the pick.
Yeah I prefer Tatum as the better player right now, but Jackson in the long run. :-\. :angel:Mannix saying that Tatum is our guy.... IF we keep the pick.
I'm happy with Tatum. If it's Jackson I think it's flipped for the zinger

Im leaning Tatum over Jackson but would be really excited about both. Both guys should be really good for a really long time.
I could talk myself into isaac. Don't want to hear Smith jr.s name at #3
I've got a lot of faith in Danny here.
Got some liquor for good times and a joint already rolled encase I need a timeout when I see something terrible!Mini fridge full of beer in the man-cave. Just ran out of hooch though, enjoy!

So we offered #3, Brown or Smart, and an undisclosed additional first for Porzingis, but they wanted more.
I still think the 3, 7, and player package is better than that reported offer.

Ya I mean I would be surprised if we included the 3rd pick, that's a lot for a rental. Also we'd have to make salaries match or close to maintain max room. That means Bradley and Crowder are both likely gone in a deal, since they are the two highest paid players reasonably available.

You have to think George will agree to an extension if he's coming here. No way he'll be a rental with the picks and players we're giving up. Right? RIGHT?if we get him for little cost, he's a rental. if we pay quite a bit, we can only HOPE he's not a rental

I would be stunned (regardless of what the C's send) if Danny gets PG without assurance of a long-term commitment. I think it would be throwing away assets which I don't think Danny will do.
If Tatum stays, which I am not sure will happen, does that mean Hayward never comes to town? Does it mean Brown's future is as a SG? Does it mean Danny's preference in FA has been Blake Griffin all along?

We have to get rid of Bradley and Crowder. Those spots need talent upgrades.Crowder, yes. Bradley, only b/c Jaylen should move to the 2.

I hope we don't give up too much. If we did, let's hope there's assurance of a signing an extension.
Although, if we get PG, that would make it attractive for us to sign Blake Griffin, and that could make it attractive for PG to stay.

Man, I love that Malik Monk pick with Charlotte.
They can trot a lineup of Kemba - Monk - Batum - Marvin Williams - Howard. That's plenty of shooters to open up space for Dwight.
The Knicks with a terrible pick with Ntilikina. They should have taken Dennis Smith Jr. or Malik Monk

Nah, it's some nice talent for the long run, but very raw. If the pick were 2021, or even 2020, I might worry. But assuming they commit to developing these guys, instead of making a chaotic trade for a not-good-enough vet, 2019 should be a very, very good pick.

Gotham also said that Tatum has been at the top of their board for a long time.
I think it's pretty clear at this point that they truly do have Tatum right at the level of Fultz in their book, and he's been their target all along. With Danny refusing to trade the 3 even for Butler, or even probably George, all signs point to them being honest in their Tatum love.

Gotham also said that Tatum has been at the top of their board for a long time.
I think it's pretty clear at this point that they truly do have Tatum right at the level of Fultz in their book, and he's been their target all along. With Danny refusing to trade the 3 even for Butler, or even probably George, all signs point to them being honest in their Tatum love.

Tyler Lydon also got picked at 24, I thought both of those guys were going to be second rounders.
Wow! Colangelo gave up a future 1st and a future 2nd for Pasecniks?It's the top 20 protected OKC pick so no big deal. Only saw a small clip of a workout but he moved well. Poor man's Porzingis?

Bell is an Ainge type player, I really want him. But expect it to be a draft and stash
if Rabb makes it to 37, anyone know why he slid so far from last year to this year and would that be a reason not to take a chance on him at that slot?
I dont know, but if they are trying to keep the cap as low as possible, it makes senseBell is an Ainge type player, I really want him. But expect it to be a draft and stash

Bell, Ojeleye, Anigbogu, Evans.
Did we just draft a bigger Jae Crowder? Nice!
We might trade out of the 2nd round for a future pick.we're going to have a number of openings if Danny cuts ties with everyone who's a FA this offseason if he goes after Hayward
Because honestly do we need a 2nd round pick when we have Zizic and Tatum coming in? Heck if Yabusele is ready, that's 3 rookies incoming. Not to mention what do we do with D-League standout Abdel Nader?
Did we just draft a bigger Jae Crowder? Nice!
With Tatum, Brown, and Ojeleye we're nearing the point where giving up Crowder for PG doesn't even sting.
...so what's the catch? 6'7" great athletes who can shoot and defend don't last until the second round.
Honestly asking because I didn't study this far down the draft board. Why is he still available?

Draft Express had him going at pick 22. I've been wanting him but thought there was no chance..
I cannot believe Semi was there at 37... Ugh, one of my favorite players in the entire draft. We are STACKED with wing players. Jae Crowder must be gone. I'd venture they are more likely to go after Blake now? Hayward is redundant with Brown, Tatum and Semi. Semi is not a stash kind of guy.The way the game has changed, you can never have enough quality wings.
Actually Ojeleye is a really good get in this range. Draftexpress had him going at #22 in their mock.
Danny has a knack for finding useful players in round 2.
Ojeleye is an undersized power forward but he is very strong and he can step out and make the deep 3 or the pick and pop shot with efficiency.
I like this draft selection. He's basically an insurance policy if Yabu doesn't pan out.
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Semi-Ojeleye-7164/
So the Celtics have incoming:
Tatum scoring SF. Already have Jaylen but I think he slides over to SG now.
Ojeleye PF. Already have Yabu but not sure if he's ready to come over yet.
C. Already have Zizic who said he is definitely coming over for this year.
Don't know what we do with Nader.
Danny needs to draft and stash with the next 2 picks...unless.. lol
Smart
Brown
Crowder
Tatum
Ojeleye
Yabusele
Putting together a pretty decent group of guys who can cover 2-4 in a pinch
I saw the warriors steal Jordan bell for cash. Crazy. Maybe Danny wants to go hard after thornwell
Clips bought Evans and Thornwell.
Wonder if the Bulls use the 3.5M from the Bell trade to help buyout Wade or Rondo.
Ojeleye was awesome in his first season since transferring from Duke. He has the NBA body and power, as well as a sweet shooting stroke. He's the type of player who looks as though he could make an impact right away. But his age (22), tweener status and poor defensive metrics make scouts pause. - Chad Ford
Only has 3M guaranteed so cheap buyout.Wonder if the Bulls use the 3.5M from the Bell trade to help buyout Wade or Rondo.
Rondo needs a buyout now, and go to a better franchise. He would be valued in a number of places.
He is still a maestro!

our 1st couple of picks were great. I don't know about this one. Are picks like this made because we owed some agent a favor or something? Motley would have at least been a solid pick. He was a good player in the big12
C's last two draft cards said: "we don't care, just say a name, we're cutting him anyway." :laugh:

They probably think he'll be a positive force as a glue guy in summer league and in the G League. What's more important, allowing Jaylen and Jayson to develop as best as possible or taking a flier on someone who's not making the team?

how is taking a better player hurting Jaylen and Jayson's development? I don't think that has one bit of impact on who we select.
Danny Ainge said he never spoke to the Josh Jackson, acknowledged he was mad about flying out to Sacramento only for JJ to cancel workout.
Josh Jackson canceled his workout with the Celtics after their Brad's flew out to Sacramento to meet with him. Ainge was upset.
Wow, Ainge, Mike Zarren, and Brad Stevens flew across the country to workout Josh Jackson only to have him cancel and refuse to workout
Danny says he would've taken Jayson at #1. I think that's a load of BS, but whatever.

The "better player" might be more concerned with shining himself rather than fitting in. It's the 53rd pick. Simply picking a character guy who won't interfere in the development of important pieces (include guys like Semi and DJax in Maine) is important.

Yeah, I'm pretty glad we went with Tatum over this guy. He clearly has some character concerns. Tatum, on the other hand, seems very, very mature and humble already.

Good grief. On the one hand, you shouldn't let emotions cloud your decision making. On the other hand, that is a massive red flag. Not so much for Jackson, because he's just a kid, but for the kind of people with which he's surrounded himself. What sort of parent/agent/advisor let's you get away with that?

I not going to see the draft because i have to go to study, but my mind is going to be in this forum, i only expect the best for our team, i trust in Danny, Go Celtics!

Jeez. This guy's straight up committing malpractice.
Loved the Tatum pick, loved the Ojele pick, honestly liked the Allen pick a decent amount and it feels silly complaining about the #57 pick, but who the **** is jabari bird.He's a friend of Jaylen's I think. Played together at Cal.
I watched his DX video and they use his numbers from the 13-14 season. What's up with that?
I guess that this is too late, but prior to us trading the first pick, I was hoping for this (and am already laughing at how wrong I was in regards to the draft position of most of these guys, if they were even drafted at all, lol ;D/):Whatever the record for draft picks by a single team is, this would certainly double it.
Trade #1 – move the first overall selection to the Kings for Sacramento’s picks at 5, 10, and 34.
Trade #2 – send Al Horford to Minnesota for the contract of Nikola “Not Tesla” Pekovic, Jordan Hill, who is then waived before his deal becomes guaranteed, and the 7th pick.
Trade #3 – move the recently acquired 7th selection to the Blazers for Portland’s picks at 15 and 20.
Trade #4 – with the Reggie Jackson experiment having become an abject failure, and if the reports about the Pistons looking to move the 12th pick for an established veteran, are true, who better to lead them than Isaiah Thomas, especially with Detroit moving to a new arena?
Trade #5 – move Avery Bradley to the Thunder for the 21st pick. He’d be a great fit on both ends of the floor next to Westbrook, in my view, and enables them to have a much better guard rotation, I would think, of Westbrook and Bradley starting with Oladipo coming off the bench.
Trade #6 – if Terry Rozier really was the sticking point in the proposed Ibaka trade at the deadline, surely he can fetch Orlando’s picks at 33 and 35, even with the Magic being under new management, right? I’d like to think that that transaction could get done fairly easily, even though, again, I’m probably wrong.
Trade #7 – if reports were true about how Philadelphia was looking to move their second rounders with their primary weakness, injuries notwithstanding, being defense from the guard positions, who better to provide that than Marcus Smart and, to a lesser extent, Jae Crowder (for 36 and 39, btw)?

Also, are we trading every single rotation player for draft picks in this scenario? Holy cow!
Edit: ah no, we would be keeping Jaylen Brown.

Yep, Jae Crowder is exactly what I thought. I really like this pick (for a player I learned existed yesterday!)
...so what's the catch? 6'7" great athletes who can shoot and defend don't last until the second round.
Honestly asking because I didn't study this far down the draft board. Why is he still available?
Because he is kind of like crowder.... Bulky. Lacks a way to separate from defenders at times. 6'10 wingspan is not the best vs height. Not a great rebounder , nor passer. But good at boxing out
He is really like a carbon copy of Jae...but at 6'7 with more explosiveness.... He will fit in nicely
Danny says he would've taken Jayson at #1. I think that's a load of BS, but whatever.
Dickey V would have taken Tatum #1 ;)
