Celticsstrong 2021 Historical Draft - VOTES ARE IN

[Somebody]

Big trade incoming

[Somebody]

Going with a great All-Around Center



Proud to add Marc Gasol's all-around game to Steve Nash.

DANG!

Excellent pick, though I had others in front of him. Thought he might last to end of round for me to grab him.

There are still plenty of defensive giants left in this draft so you'll be fine if you really want a defensive anchor

If there's one thing this draft has an abundance of its defensive anchor bigs

[Moranis]

I will be back around 1115 for my pick.

[Jvalin]

With the 3rd pick of the 2nd round, the Milwaukee Bucks select Jimmy Butler.

Very interesting. Many different years to pick from for Marc. Seems like a natural running mate of Nash

I dont know if I would have went that way. I like Marc alot, dont get me wrong, but I feel with Nash' pick and roll he should have been paired with an athletic bigman. Nash beasted when playing with a big who can jump out the gym and keep up to him. Gasol is a plodder. I think he slows nash down.

There are still an absolute abundance of athletic players to slide alongside Nash on the wing and at the big spots. Gasol's blend of playmaking, defence and shooting is near unique in this draft

your just saying that cause you rock the grizzlies logo.

I do agree. Nash could work with ANYONE, imo.

I have a trade to announce. The Houston Rockets will be trading Kawhi Leonard, #35 and #115 for Jimmy Butler, #28 and #33.

Going with a great All-Around Center



Proud to add Marc Gasol's all-around game to Steve Nash.

I assumed he would be available at pick 50.

I pored over the list of available Bigs left and Marc Gasol fills ALL the boxes for me - leadership, defensive anchor,  good rebounder, can run the offense through him.

Some versions of Marc can shoot from deep.

Can score in a variety of ways.

He's a very good passer for his size as well.

Again - with the available centers out there I saw some limitations in their games that could be exploited.

Marc - while not particularly flashy - is a solid Center and IMO the best remaining one in this draft.

[Darth_Yoda]

There is a guy I am kind of surprised is still available honestly.

[gouki88]

Wow, that trade is huge! Hard to tell how it'll pay off until all the picks are made

It wasn't just the defense I wanted. I wanted the passing and shooting and everything else he brings that the other defensive centers don't

Fist trade of the draft! It was about time!

I do not disagree.

I was just hoping he would slip by some posters who might be looking for something else from their center spot.

Woah .

Interesting.  Be curious to see what 28, 33, and 35 look like.  Obviously Kawhi is better than Butler, but this one could work out ok depending on how the 3rd and early 4th rounders shake out.
